Mauikink is legit. I have an order of rope here from them that I ordered about 2 months ago. The customer service rep was sweet and very helpful, took down my custom order.

If your order takes a while to come, especially during holiday rush periods, don't be alarmed, like I was. It will come... eventually. In fact, the custom part of my order is still hanging out somewhere, be it still at their facility or somewhere in the postage system.

They don't seem very good at giving out tracking numbers either, but I like the idea of supporting an American small business, so such things aren't a huge issue.

What I do like alot about the people that run the website is they are active in the community, you can find them on Fetlife and they keep folk updated on what is going on with their company. They have recently posted an update that they are moving from Hawaii to mainland (Idaho I think? Or Illinois?). Just a heads up so that you don't see a different state on a statement and think "Oh man, I'm getting scammed cuz these folk aren't even from Maui!"

The above reviewer is correct.

I was about to order a hard-to-find style boots from the site, but the prices struck me odd and I was hoping for high quality product.

Reading up on the company, they are straightforward that they are China based, but all of the seals at the bottom of their site are forged, because they do not link back to each security website and are simply images that make the website seem legitimate.

On further searching, I found the same items on ebay from Chinese sellers for half the prices.

I'm sure if you order something, it will actually come in the mail and be wearable, at least for a time. But you really want to do business with a company that isn't jerking your chain at one point or another.

Also, please be very wary of the above reviews. They are written in questionable English with similar tones and word choices, and I get the suspicion that there are members of the company or hired reviewers that find sites like this and puff the company reputation back up.
