Attn: Martial Arts Shoppers,
As a former USMC Veteran that served during a campaign overseas, I am usually a big supporter of small businesses with the believe that every veteran we have lost in past wars and campaigns did not give up their lives in vain but rather to afford the opportunity to all Americans and those that have come to this great country to achieve the American dream of owning a business. Inasmuch as I hate to post this bad review, I will say not all businesses value their customers or adhere to the principles of honesty, integrity, and good service. This is the case with Alhambra Fight Shop. On August 28, 2023, I decided to stop and purchase a punching bag and some sparring gloves with intentions to send it overseas to a martial arts school I sponsor. I had requested and asked if it would be possible to have it wrapped for shipping of which he responded that it would not be a problem but it would cost additional. He indicated that I should pick it up the following Monday of which I told him I would not be able to since I did not live in the Los Angeles area. On September 8. 2023, I was able to come to the Los Angeles area and decided to pick up the bag. To my surprise, he mentioned that it was not ready and for me to come in the next day or drive to Reseda to pick it up. Like anyone else, I was frustrated after waiting for 3 weeks and it was all paid in full for a total of $275.00. Clearly it suggested to me that the business is struggling and take every open opportunity to scam its customers. In conclusion and with frustration, I decided to purchase another bag from another business. I would advice all veterans and other shoppers to not trust Mr. Fred with his finesse and sweet talking and hoping that if you are looking for martials arts supplies, seek purchasing at another business. I am blessed that my loss of the funds I paid is a small amount and will conclude with a saying, “What comes around goes around”. Certainly not a veteran friendly business. Be on the lookout for a Tik Tok video to get the word out.
Semper Fi!
