Inquiry, Quotation, and direct consultation Payment Process
Share
Understand the complete process from submitting product requests, sales team confirmation, quotation, to direct consultation payment and delivery. This site does not primarily use automated on-site transactions, but instead provides one-on-one exclusive service for customers in Taiwan.
I. Why choose the inquiry and quotation process?
This site does not use automated on-site transactions as its main process. Instead, it adopts an exclusive service model of inquiry → quotation → direct consultation communication → payment and delivery.
Why is it designed this way? Tai Chi swords are different from ordinary daily necessities – they involve multiple variables such as size matching, weight selection, material preference, and hardness requirements. Each customer's physical condition and usage scenario are unique. Through a one-on-one inquiry and quotation process, sales team can precisely match you with the most suitable sword, avoiding the regret of "buying the wrong size or choosing the wrong weight."
Shen Guang Long Sword Workshop is a century-old sword manufacturing enterprise in Longquan City, Zhejiang Province, founded by Shen Tingzhang in the 20th year of Guangxu (1894) in the Qing Dynasty. The workshop is famous for forging traditional Longquan swords, and its forging techniques were included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list in 2007. The inheritance of a century of craftsmanship is reflected in the details of each sword – and this meticulousness also requires careful communication to be delivered to you.
