AR 500 Unprofessional Behavior

[okfornow]

I think a lot of members are confused on this thread.

AR500 ARMOR (this subforum)
and
AR500-TARGETS

ARE TWO DIFFERENT COMPANIES

AR500 Armor is based in AZ
http://www.ar500armor.com/ (go to the bottom of the page for their address)

AR500-Targets is local to SoCal
http://www.ar500-targets.com/aboutus.asp

Seems like the OP was posting about AR500 Armor.
I dealt with AR500-Targets before. They are very responsive.
I have not dealt with AR500 Armor though.

AR500 (Abrasion Resistant) describes the hardness of steel.
It is a rating system for how strong a target is. They also have AR400 and AR500+ for targets.

[vinconco]

We ship same day and will never run you around. We also offer a much better target solution.

It took a while to get an order from these people and I was in the same seat but am super impressed with how everything turned out.
It gave me a sense that the "NOW NOW NOW NOW" generation got the best of me and quickly re-thought my stance on the company.
Their gear is second to none and I thank them moving forward for dependable gear.
Look at the Middle Ages, up to NOW and how long it took to produce reliable body armor, be it chains or crappy flak jackets, I'd put my dime on AR.
Just saying

By the way, my former liberal wife has the courier pack in her car and that seriously puts me at ease, especially after Obama invited his buddies over here.

Most, if not all of the members with high post counts are just bags of hot air. Mindless talking heads who are overly impressed with themselves.

And don't get me started on that phony baloney iTrader nonsense either. It's all a bunch of hooey!

I was going to avoid AR500 due to this thread but they had a great Black Friday sale and I was prepared for a long long wait according to comments. Well I was pleasantly surprised, I got the order in 3 weeks and the product is great and even better price. So I guess this is a positive review for anyone considering them:

[osis32]

lucky you. I'm still waiting for my order. still in processing according to them. not gonna start raising hell for a bit. you know they told me 2 weeks haha

[King.40]

I placed an order from Ar500 back in November 2016 (might have been Oct) after hearing/reading many mixed reviews. I ordered a plate carrier and plates with an expected lead time of 5 weeks. The box was on my doorstep about a week later. Maybe I just got lucky?

[osis32]

yesterday was the two weeks they requested I wait still nothing shipped. I emailed them again this morning for an update.

I think I waited 3-4 months for mine.

[osis32]

I don't mind waiting at all I just don't like being strung along or not given any eta. their response was that it should be shipped soon but they don't really know when. so I'll just sit on my hands and wait. disappointing but I knew what I was signing up for. I'm gonna get a set of Spartan next time they go on sale just to compare and have any extra set.

i got a carrier and CATI AR500 steel plates off eBay in about 7 days.

[xjdesertfox]

I've ordered from ar500 armor and waited forever and a day. Spartan armor systems has always shipped fast for me.

sent another email requesting an update. probably will be just as informative as the last. haha

[osis32]

everything is supposed to be here Tuesday. I think that's about 9 weeks. I asked them to throw in one of their special metal coat hangers for making me wait. we'll see what's in my package.

[crufflers]

For heavy steel, Maingun.biz ships fast with no B.S. I bought from Cati as well and remember no delays.

.25" Patriot Plates are in-stock, but the .18" 6 pounders are not.

I just wanted to add my experience. I ordered a pair of their 10X12 lightweight level III plates last Monday at 8:00 PM. The plates were delivered to me by Friday.

[Lifter015]

I ordered a empty multicam ifak pouch on the 3rd, its the 25th now. Still processing.
Very frustrating as it said it was in stock and I didn't see any lead times. Email reply told me to wait till next week, Fudge.

[Moemoe1]

Meh, mine took 3 months to arrive. Didn’t mind waiting since I’m not gonna go to war anytime soon where I’m gonna NEED my armor or plate carrier then and there.

[The War Wagon]

I ordered an IFAK and a couple of CATs from them in April. They said 2 weeks on delivery, & they arrived in 2 weeks. No complaints.

[Bruce3]

Here's my experience, i placed an order for a carrier and a plate on 12/27/18. The next day i realized i wanted a different set up. I placed another order on 12/28/18 with the advertised lead time of 2 weeks. On 12/31/18 i called them to cancel my first order. I was placed on hold for less than a minute before speaking to a rep. I asked to cancel my first order. Total time on phone less than 5 minutes. Moments later received confirmation of cancellation and refund. I received my order on 1/9/19 less than the advertised lead time. As for the gear, i am thoroughly impressed with build quality of both carrier and plates. 10 out of 10 would do business with again!
