As a customer you’ll get ripped off

As a customer you’ll get ripped off, at least that’s my opinion. I’ll give an explanation: hence,

Buyer beware! The store will rip you off. If if the reading had a negative star. I most definitely would give Army Surplus World a negative star. Take notice of all the other reviews poor and negative review; not just mine; and take heed: you could be the next victim of Army Surplus World.

Today, July 8, 2025, I received from Army Surplus World an advertisement of their sales. Approximately two years ago, I ordered a trench coat. By accident I put in 2 orders. I was successful removing the extra one? I also left them a message on their phone and I received from them a notice confirming that I only wanted one. I responded to that notice indicating it was just one that I wanted; i.e., ordered one only.

When I received the trench coat, I received two. When I made a personal contact to them, they said that I would have to pay for the return shipping. Even though it was their error. I had to pay for the return shipping. It was not cheap; hence , I lost money. Consequently, Army Surplus World, managerial staff and/or owner’s word cannot be trusted.

Now, you don’t have to take my word for it. Buy from Army Surplus World and experience, the managerial staff and/or owner’s unethical practice(s) and learn the hard way and lose money.

Ordered a military issue cross several weeks ago. Received an email on Nov 11th saying the order was delayed, waiting for new shipment. Still don't have the item and will write another review if and when I receive it. BTW, the shipping cost was almost as much as the item, for a tiny cross and should not take a month to get an item that is advertised

wow, these shorts hit the nail on the head for quality!

wow. I ordered myself 2 pair of camo shorts, and they arrived over night. The sizes are spot on, fit is very comfortable, and they have great space in their pockets. well made, no fraying, loose strings or threads, and I am 100% happy with my purchases from ASW! Thanks!

Got boots that were supposed to be brand new. They fell apart the first time I wore them.

I got them early as winter boots and didn't wear them until first snow, past the 30 day return window.

So, I won't order from them again. They said tough luck and I'm out $75 for what we're supposed to be good winter boots.

BEWARE!!! Not Truthful & Poor Customer Service

Ordered several items from Army World Surplus. A couple of the items had defects and one item had an incorrect sizing chart on the website. I emailed, called, and followed the RMA process from their website. I talked to Vanessa, three different times. The last of which she said that a return label would sent for the items and they would be replaced. I never received the return label. Honestly seems like they have no desire to help, and will tell you just about anything to get you off the phone. I'm sure they will get on here and make false justifications like with the other negatives reviews. SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO THE POOR REVIEWS. Save yourself some trouble, all items on their website are available elsewhere w/o the terrible customer service.

Before I received my shipment

Before I received my shipment. I was planning on giving 3 stars. After I received it, no brainer to give back a star. I rarely if ever give out all five.

When I ordered a used M65. Had payment processing issues, which was corrected after a pleasant call.
Then nine days (02/11-13/11) after ordering. I finally got it. It was not what I ordered. I was expecting a M65 {used} in Woodland camo. What I got was a unused coat.
I still want to give three stars. The payment processing sucked, the shipping sucked. Beyond what agents armysurplus hired for payment/shipping. The companies itself took care of me.

Got what I paid for 🙂

I was very hesitant to go through armysurplusworld because of reveiews. I decided after reading through them that I'd give em a shot. I'm very satisfied with my order I got exactly what I ordered in a very reasonable amount of time. Can't really ask for much more. Only thing I wish is that more items were in stock in my size but that's the game. Ya have to get it while it's there. Anyway, you can trust them. If you read these other reviews it seems like more misunderstanding and being spoiled my Amazon slave laber.

AVOID THIS COMPANY - NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT

I ordered three Army manuals. Two were fine, but one arrived with pages coming out, the binding coming apart and just general poor quality. I tried for two weeks to contact support with no response. Finally, when they did reply, I was told to send photos of the damage. So again, for another two weeks, I tried to send photos with support telling me they didn't get them. Finally, I just uploaded the photos to my own server and provided links. That is when CS proceeds to tell me that I only had TWENTY FOUR HOURS to file a complaint and that my first email was three days after I received the order. So they DID get all of my emails, they just chose to ignore them! When I pointed this out, she said that she would "try" to get the warehouse to send another book. That was two weeks ago and STILL nothing further. I submitted this same review to the site as a review on that item and it said that the review was "awaiting moderation." What do you want to bet that that review will never see the light of day on their site? AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS.

I bought their Montana sleeping bag rated for -30 below. I won't be able to test it fully this year but its a great looking bag. It definitely is a great feeling and great looking bag. Weighs much less then the Army issue bags. Plus shipping was fast

They lied and cheated me!…

They messed up my order and offered me a hat to make it right. I told them what I wanted and they sent me a stupid baseball cap. I talked to Merlin who was the manager. After I received my items I called Merlin and told her they sent me the wrong hat. She lied to me and said that is what I asked for. I asked for a boone hat. She was rude and nasty. She lied and cheated me. Don't buy from army surplus world!

TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE

TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE - Sent a defective pair of boots. Waited weeks after I returned - no new pair in the mail. After I emailed them to check in they said they were waited to receive the defective pair before sending me a new one??? Not my fault they were defective. Not only that, they didn't even have the right size in stock to replace them. It would have been nice to know that weeks ago. They did return my money after waisting two months while I still don't have boots.

Air Force hat = terrible quality

Wow, received the blue Air Force embroidered wings hat after waiting 4 weeks or longer. This item is nothing as pictured. The quality is very poor and item looks nothing like the picture on the website. The Air Force logo is stitched and not embroidered, and the stars on the flag are a blob. As a member of the Air Force, this is extremely disappointing. I will not be buying from this site again. Returning this item is not an option, as paying for shipping back to get a refund is just not worth it.

Kerry,

You placed your order at 6:42 PM on Friday, June 26th. We were closed for the day as we are only open until 5:30 PM Central Time on Friday's. We do not ship express orders on weekends because FedEx Express does not work on weekends, only ground. We processed and shipped out your order Monday, June 29th and sent item express per the order with a delivery date of July 1st. We operated exactly how we were supposed to as stated on our website. We physically could not have gotten your order out faster than we did. We are not Amazon with our own fleet service. We are small. We operate with reduced staff on Saturdays and are closed on Sundays.

Scammers.

I ordered over a $100.00 dollars worth of stuff and I can't track it. And when I called, the message was the,person you are trying to reach was unavailable. When I email them, they send me my same email back. I am lost out of money. But I am going to see who I can see who deal with companies like this to get my money back. Do not buy from them. You will lose your money.

Customer placed order after hours and then emailed before we opened the following day demanding a tracking number. Review was also posted before we even opened. We do not operate 24 hours a day like Amazon. Was able to get in touch with customer the following day and get everlasting sorted out and the items delivered.

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM!!!

Couldn’t give them negative stars or I would! DO NOT ORDER CAMO FABRIC ONLINE WITH THEM!! They are deceiving as everything!! When I called it to their attention they only wanted to argue back with me and tell me I was wrong! Even the email they sent me showing proof of what I ordered showed the correct order but the material was wrong! They will not refund me and I do not want this freakin material because it’s not what I ordered! DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM!!!

Customer is simply not correct. The order for this customer was for woodland camo fabric, which is what was sent. Customer was sent screen shots showing woodland camo for her order. Customer is confused that our stock photo for fabric, which contains along with 3 other fabric colors, woodland digital. These are simply photos of patterns we sell. When placing the order, the customer must select the pattern they wish to receive. This customer selected woodland camo, not woodland digital. Also, per the product description right below the product, we explicitly state that fabric is cut to order and non refundable. Not buried in our terms and conditions, but on the physical product page. We refunded the shipping cost for the customer even though we fulfilled what was ordered. Would be happy to put complete screen shots of the order, but do not wish to put the customers information on here for everyone to see.
