is kingom 59 legit ??

steveh1591 · September 13, 2011

It seems legit, and im 95% certain it is, but im about to get a skycaddie SGX which translates to £176, which seems like an insanely good deal

im probably worrying about nothing but just wanted to check with others that have used it before

thanks!

I have checked out their site several times but have not actually purchased from them at this time, there are quite a few threads about them, here is just one . . .

If you do a search for Kingdom 59 you should be able to find others, from my reading it seems there are issues at times but not always.

Bought a belt for a great price. Shipping was a little slow (10 days), but other than that they seemed fine.

There seem to be alot of Kingdom 59 haters on here, and then there are some that like it. Here's what you need to know before you buy. The process is basically this: They strike a deal with the name brand allowing them to sell the items at such a good deal, the advertise the deal and it runs for X number of days, at the end of that time frame I'm guessing they report back to the name brand and place the order, they have to wait to receive the order and then will ship to you when they get it. Sometimes it's a few days, sometimes it's two weeks. I've bought about 6 Puma shirts from them on different deals, and one time it took a few days while the other it took two weeks. If you look at the deals that are advertised, they will say something like "estimated shipping 10 days following event", what they don't do a good job of is saying how long the event will last, but normally that's a min of a few days. That was the "fine print"(although it was stated clearly on the sale) that I didn't read on the one that took two weeks. I called and the rep explained the process to me. They are good deals, you just have to know going in that it will take some time for you to get your item.

FWIW I don't really have a say in the matter of wrong material that they ship, as that's never happened to me; but I can definitely understand why someone would be upset for receiving say a medium width pair of adipure's vs. the wide that they ordered without being notified that that's what was being shipped.

They are legit and you will eventually get what you ordered, so no worries about them at all being a scam or anything like that.

With that said, I will not do business with them because of their business practices and will discourage people from using them, at least until they've proven that they've cleaned up their act. See this thread...they were shilling on the forums, and I guess you could say that I was very involved in that discussion, lol:

That's a great business plan! Have someone else finance your business. They basically have zero risk when they sell a product before they buy it. There's no inventory, very little overhead, and a healthy bottom line. Pure genius!

I've been happy with my purchases from K59; most def not a scam site.
Be patient with shipping; read carefully and you should be fine.
There are some good deals to be had.

Of course until you get disgruntled customers. Selling a product that is not actually "in hand" can cause a world of issues as you can see in previous threads.

I've ordered a few times and always got was advertised. Never had an issue.

WOW. Thanks for posting that. I missed it the 1st time.

I check their site frequently and have only one "order" experience. They ran a nice deal on a bunch of Dunning stuff sometime last year. I ordered 2 jackets, went through the entire order process, payment, etc. Want to say it was at least a week later if not more, I get an email indicating they could not fulfill the order for either of the items. Left a bad taste in my mouth. I've been tempted since then to order other items - mainly apparel only - but I'm definitely hesitant.
