Too slow on 15% discount code.

"Took to long to get 15% discount code...order placed before any code was sent to email. Will not recomend"

Repeat Customer but There's Some Things I'd Fix

"This is my second plate carrier I've gotten from Armored Republic. The site is great and the sales, bundles, equipment and information are all awesome. I got my first plate carrier over 2 years ago, have trained with it extensively and have had ZERO problems. The quality is incredible and the option to use Sezzle for an extended payment plan makes it 100% affordable. They break down the info for different classes of armored plates so you really understand what you're getting and why. I don't think I'll ever go anywhere else for my plate carriers and plates. Excellent company and a pleasure to do business with."

Great customer service e

"I knew when I placed my order that I would probably need to a copy of my work ID in order to get the order processed, but I completely forgot to provide it when I made the order. Shortly after the order was being processed, Kaitlyn from customer service called, and was able to help me provide my ID and get my order processed without any issues. She was super fast on a follow up response advising that she received it too.

The website was super easy to navigate, and the product descriptions and pictures were very helpful. I was recommended AR through a coworker, and I will be sending other coworkers to the site to check it out.
