"AR500 the only place I buy armor from, never had a problem with anything. As advertised priced right and frequently on sale. I have yet to be disappointed by AR500. "
"As someone who is just starting to build a kit, AR500 has great quality and always has discount codes making everything a fairly cost effective. I really appreciate their discount codes and consistent shipping times. I haven't had any issues yet and I look forward to being an even more frequent customer.

"I feel like Ar500 has to improve on processing and shipping times. If produced in the United States. Why am I still waiting on my order and it’s been almost a month to no avail. At this point….im probably going to cancel the order and pursue another brand"
"Needed to confirm address by email made it Difficult "
“Hi Reviewer, we can confirm addresses by phone or email, which ever is the most convenient for you. This is known as Verify Address Hold. It is a temporary hold to make sure we are sending the order to the right place when billing and shipping addresses are different, and gives us a chance to verify that everything else related to the order is correct before sending as well. Once a customer goes through this process, we do not require it again and can simply remove the hold. Please call customer service 602-501-9607 if you need anything else.”
"Quick responses on any inquiries I’ve made over the yearsz"
"As for the Carrier testudo gen 2 could be way better if they did the same stich style as the front done to the back as well this would greatly improve the comfortably of the carrier as well as functionality .... Also applying a med size waist/Cumber bun as for everything else I've not seen many plates take two armor piercing rounds and keep it's integrity looking forward to having those protecting my back and chest "
"Excellent customer service and ease of ordering. "
"You're accessory line has gotten alot smaller. Was hoping for better accessories and an option for buildup coating"
"This site is just like when I was little and walking into toys r us and not knowing what to buy bc there are so many options. Overall, great shopping experience, other than having anxiety over which color carrier I need more. The checkout was smooth, no hidden things or stupid stuff anywhere. I highly recommend Armored Republic to anyone and everyone"
"I'll Be back. Thanks I am very excited about my purchase."
A rep from AR500 Armor, AR500EM, has responded:
“Hi Reviewer. Your order was placed during a large spike in customer's ordering the backpack BOGO deal and with school shooting events that happened around that time, causing this product to be on backorder. We did attempt to rectify this extended wait with you by giving you $50 in store credit that will not expire and can be used with customer service for free shipping on the items as well. It will still be available for you and we will do our best as a small company to fulfill these orders faster in the future. Please visit your accounts page for status updates, email support at support@armoredrepublic.com, or call customer service at 602-501-9607 for help in the future.”
