Thread: Military Mart

    Default Military Mart

    I know a lot of you have used Military Mart for kit. I'm wondering how fast, in people's experience, their delivery times are.

    I've used them loads of times in the past, delivery time does vary, but theyre not quick. Great company and quality kit though.

    mine also about 5 days on recent purchase. Had buckets of stuff from them over the years and never any problems. Very good prices too.

    I concur with the above, 3 - 5 working days seems normal for delivery, usually 5. Good prices and good service, never had any issues with them either, helpful too.

    I had a bit of an issue with them sending kit to my card address and not my delivery address and because of the inferior courier they use it was difficult to alter the delivery address....that said Military Mart were more than helpful in resolving the problem and the kit was top notch...........

    Isn't it amazing how you need that order once you place it? I'm like that, when I pull the trigger on something I want it now! What about cancelling the order and getting it elsewhere Cliff? I'm lucky as I rarely buy stuff and when I do I usually know where to get items that are at my work literally the next day. It's taken years of internet shopping to narrow it down to such great service mind you! Good luck with the stove, perhaps you should get a virtual fire app and sit in the tent staring at your phone this weekend.

    I'm the impatient type when it comes to waiting for deliveries but I was pleasantly surprised this morning when I received my cute little stove from Backpackinglight.
    I ordered it at 4pm yesterday and it came with the usual packet of jelly tots!
    Top job as usual!

    Ive had problems with them holding onto most of my stuff until other parts come in. After every order i now mail them and ask them to notify me of anything that is out of stock and put it on back order but send the rest now. This seems to work great. Before adopting this approach i waited two weeks for over £100 worth of stuff as there were no hexi tabs in stock.

    On the whole though they are very helpful and sell great gear.
    Cheers
