• From time to time we inadvertently overlook rips or tears when inspecting an item and if this happens, again, please contact us first.

• We will do our utmost to resolve your issue at no cost to you without hassel.

Contact Us

• Our business hours are Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. EST.

• We are closed on the weekends.

• We strive to answer all inquiries within 24 hours and most of the time we are able to get them answered within a couple of hours.

• We answer inquiries in the order they are received and your patience is appreciated.

• Please keep in mind that we receive hundreds of inquiries daily

• When it comes to buying used items such as genuine U.S. military surplus please be aware that no two items are going to be alike. We do our best to inspect every item and
  put it into a quality grade with items in similar condition.

• Many surplus items labeled "brand new/unissued" may not be shipped with original packaging. This does not mean the item has been used or that it is not genuine U.S. military issue. This may happen because the military often buys items in bulk and 100 of the same item may have been sealed in a single package.

• Genuine U.S. military surplus items may have slight variations by contract (each order the military made); these variations are not considered deficiencies.

• Be advised that it may be against the law to export certain military items outside the United States. Those items will be offered to U.S. addresses only.

• Be advised that the U.S. Government also regulates which countries we are allowed to ship military items to. That is why our listings are only offered to certain countries.

• Due to the large volume of inventory we have on hand we use stock photos on our listings that are representative of the quality of the item you will receive.

• We are unable to take photos of each individual item we sell; instead, we take photos of one item from each quality grade and feature those on the listing.

Storage of Surplus Items

• Our military surplus items may have been sitting for extended periods in government warehouses collecting dust and dirt.

• We do not consider dirt or anything that can be easily washed out of the item as a negative impact to quality.

• Generally, we do not launder our military surplus items prior to shipping.

• All items are inspected and graded for condition and we check for holes, rips and/or missing parts.  Our in-house seamstress makes professional repairs as necessary prior to shipping.
