Military Mart

[treadlightly]

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.

My last purchased took around 5 days

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...........

All very reassuring - thanks guys.

Dont you hate it when this happens ,

You order a big bit of kit in this case a wood burner for my tent then you when looking at the site you order £30 more tat that you dont really need but its a good deal ,,, this was last friday ,,, confirmation email arrives then you wait ,,,,,, yesterday another email arrives you order will be with you tommorow ,,, ,fantastic in time for the weekend yarrrrrrrrrrr,,,,,,,,,,,,,

The delivery arrives today ,,,,,,,,,,,,,no stove but a not saying " no stock ...3/4 weeks to follow " and another bit of writing on the note saying " email about wildo ( Stove ) " well that never happened ,,,,,,, but the 30 quids worth of tat that I didnt really need is there ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,not happy :aargh4:...... If I had known last fritag I could of ordered elsewhere and had it now ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,.........

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 can lend you a frontier stove if your stuck Cliff ?

 

[Twodogs]

Thanks Gents ,, Im not stuck as such but when I order a bit of kit thats been advertised I expect them to have it in stock ,, If companys dont have it dont put it up for sale ,,

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.
