I did not expect a “used” pouch that cost five bucks to show up looking brand new, but this one did! Unbelievable value, quick shipping, great communication.

Good deal and bag is in pretty good shape with only some light fading but no holes or anything. Shipping price wasn't bad but I wish they chose a faster method. It did arrive much earlier than the tra... See more

Written by the company

Smith’s Surplus and Supply is an online Military Surplus and Army Surplus Store built around honest gear, clear condition grading, and dependable customer service. Every piece of surplus gear that comes through our door is inspected using our 4-point inspection system. We check assault packs, rucksacks, backpacks, MOLLE pouches, FILBE components, field gear, sleep systems, tarps, and other military surplus equipment for wear, holes, tears, staining, damaged hardware, broken buckles, and zipper issues. As each item is inspected, it is sorted and graded by condition so customers know what they are buying before it ships. We do not believe in vague surplus listings or surprise condition problems at the door. Our goal is simple: describe the gear accurately, pack it right, and ship the item you paid for. Before an order leaves our shop, we inspect it again during packing. That final check helps make sure your military surplus gear matches the condition grade, product description, and expectations set on the listing. Real surplus. Clearly graded. Packed with care.

Smith's is my go to for hard to find surplus gear. More importantly, it's never a question of what condition it will be in when you get it. I'm picky as befitting an EOD Tech and these guys have never let me down.

Item as described

Quick and easy purchase. Item was as described. The item shipped quickly from seller. My only hiccup was while tracking the package it arrived at my local UPS location and sat for 3 days to be transferred to USPS for final delivery on the 4th day after arriving locally. Like anything I order online waiting is tough.

Hi,

Thanks for your feedback. We’re sorry this wasn’t what you expected.

The 2 Quart Insulated Canteen Covers you ordered are listed in Good condition, and the product description notes that the carry strap is missing on these covers. We try to call that out clearly so customers know exactly what they’re purchasing before ordering.

If there’s anything else about your order that wasn’t as described, please reach out to us directly at customerservice@smithssuroplusandsupply.com. We’re always happy to help and want to make sure you receive exactly what you expected.

Awesome experience

Awesome experience. I found Smith's site online last year, logged on and put some great looking US Mil items into my cart around thanksgiving, just could not spare the extra to complete the purchase then. Glad I remembered them and went back online to add to my cart and complete the order. Very pleased with the items, their costs, the quality, and will definitely order from Smiths in future. I have shared their site with several friends too

Thank you, Sebas! We’re glad to hear your ATAP arrived quickly and exceeded your expectations. We work hard to inspect and grade every Tactical Assault Panel before it ships, so it’s great to know the quality stood out. We appreciate your support and hope your new ATAP serves you well for many years. Thanks again for choosing Smith’s Surplus!

Hi Isaiah,

We’re sorry to hear there was something inside the hydration pouch. Please email photos along with your order number to customerservice@smithssurplusandsupply.com so we can inspect the issue and help resolve it.

Trustpilot is a review platform rather than a customer service channel, so we’re unable to receive photos or properly investigate an order here. We always encourage customers to contact us directly before leaving a review so we have an opportunity to address any concerns.

Once we receive your email, we’ll be happy to take a closer look.

Airborne Rig Purchase

Been looking for this chest rig. Easy to purchase, still waiting for delivery but confident they will deliver on time.

I ordered two new army duffel bags

I ordered two new army duffel bags. One of them is new and in good condition, the second is used and falling apart.

Steven,

We’re sorry to hear you were disappointed with your order.

We do want to clarify one important point: these duffle bags were not listed or sold as new. They are listed as previously issued military surplus in good condition. The product description notes that they may show signs of use, including permanent marker, scuffs, stains, tape residue, repairs, and even painted markings.

After receiving your email, we responded the same day and asked for photos of the duffle bag you described as “falling apart” so we could review the issue and determine the appropriate resolution. When we did not hear back, we followed up again a few days later, but unfortunately never received a response.

While cosmetic wear is expected with previously issued military surplus, every bag we ship should still be functional and serviceable. If that was not the case here, we wanted the opportunity to review it and make it right.

Our offer still stands. Please send us a few photos of the bag, and we’ll gladly review the issue.

Finding military surplus in outstanding condition is always rewarding, and our inspection and grading process is designed to identify gear that looks as close to unissued as possible.
