“Excellent store”

I purchased many of products from Opsgear in 2014 and 2015 including DVDs, clothing and tactical and rescue gear. They had excellent customer service and good prices. They promptly responded to emails, and quickly shipped items.

“Never received my item and no customer service and WILL NOT cancel my order”

Same as almost everyone else's complaint on here. This Joshua guy who I am assuming now after reading everyone else's reviews is only customer service rep OPSGEAR has. No communication and will not return calls or emails. They are frauds! Made order a month ago still haven't received the items. Will not cancel my freaking order and return my money. One pissed off veteran here!

I purchased an item that did not get delivered--customer service said it was sent to their review process. No follow up email, no product delivery, no credit given for purchase. I chose ground deliver via Fed Ex (a company I have confidence in)... they later said it was sent by ground via U.S. Postal--which never arrived. I believe they use the excuse of unreliable U.S. Postal service as a scam for non-delivery. Avoid at all cost or you may lose your purchase price and the associated follow up time--not to mention the stress and disappointment.

Paid in full but never received product. If I can save one person from wasting their money and time then I'd feel vindicated. Do not use this vendor! Have complained multiple times with the response that it's in the mail. They use UPS to send the products to get a tracking number but send it to themselves in Woodscross Utah so they get their product back plus your money. Did spend $450 on these coins and received nothing. Buyer beware.

You'll never see your items, you'll never hear from them. The only evidence you have interacted with this company will be the charge made to your credit card. Weirder still, even after cancelling the order after 3 months of waiting, (and getting my money back via my card) they then claim they have just delivered my items. This is a very strange Walter Mitty outfit. Their stuff does look cool, it's just a real shame they confirm everything bad about shopping on the internet.

Hi Dennis. Please see my reply to David, above. The OPSGEAR of today (my company) is a different company than what you purchased from. I bought the trademark and domains from David Burnell (the former OPSGEAR company owner). I don't have access to most of the old OPSGEAR company's data, but I would like to know if you eventually either got your order, or a refund. I want to make sure you were taken care of. Please email me at: nevin at opsgear dot com. -Nevin Pratt, CEO of OPSGEAR2

On two separate ovations I placed orders with opsgear. Twice they did not ship the most expensive items
The first order took 3 months to get what I paid for. The second order us about two months old and still waiting for mag pouches. Email and voice mail are useless you'l never get a reply. Just buy your $#*! somewhere that wants your business.

Ordered a field jacket in December of 2015. They initially sent jacket but in the wrong color. I returned it and still waiting to receive it. It's now April. Have sent literally a dozen enquiries, the last 2 have been totally ignored. Have filed a formal complaint via the FBI's Internet Fraud website (IC3). Time to have these rip-off artists shut down.

All reviews from 2017 and earlier (whether good or bad) belong to a different company than is currently operating the OPSGEAR brand.

OPSGEAR, INC. has been closed since 2017. The OPSGEAR brand and other business assets were transitioned to DP Creations, LLC. The website opsgear.com is currently operated by DP Creations, LLC.

Just dont. They dont deliver, they lie, they didn't even respond to my emails. IF you buy anything do it through a 3rd party (PayPal etc) so you can get your money back from them, that's what I did. I of course got a response from them saying something was wrong and "we will ship it right away" after I got my money back from PayPal like 2 months later. It's like they didn't even realize I was already getting my money back from PayPal. DONT BUY!

Ordered my item over 3 months ago and still have not received item. Left many messages and never a call back. Sent email and the same person "Joshua" response that my order will be shipped with a week. And of course I still have not received item. Told them to refund me and they never reply. I'm out of $99 and no item. Stay away from this company. I will never purchase anything from them. The number they provide always say all reps are busy and to leave a message but they NEVER call back. Horrible company, would not recommend to anyone.

Last August I ordered a pair of trousers and a shirt for a total of about $135.00. Waited a week before I was notified that the items were not slated to be shipped for awhile, citing "warehouse issues". I responded to them that I didn't have the time to wait for my items, and requested that the order be cancelled and my money refunded, per their "100% satisfaction guaranteed" claim. Crickets. Didn't hear a thing. Complained many times, left numerous phone messages and e-mails for them, threatening to make a complaint to the BBB and the federal government office of consumer affairs, all without any reply. Finally, I received a box with the items I ordered, but nothing else. I've never opened the box, trying to figure out a way to return it and have my money refunded. I will NEVER buy from these idiots again, and will warn any other person to stay away from them. I've left negative reviews wherever I can, and have told people about these losers. This is touted as a veteran-owned company, but it can't be because of the treatment people get from these clowns... a veteran would never do this to another veteran. They just want to tap into the "veteran-owned" consumer supply because vets tend to buy from other vets. It's a scam. Stay away, and spread the word. Make these guys go bankrupt!

Hi A R. I think you pretty much got your wish when you said "Make these guys go bankrupt!". (Chuckle). The former OPSGEAR company sold pretty much all of their remaining assets to me in the latter part of 2017. My company (DP Creations, LLC -- e.g. "DPCR") has taken over the OPSGEAR brand as a result. Try us again-- we will not disappoint. DPCR is known for the fastest shipping in the industry. -Nevin Pratt, CEO of OPSGEAR2

I purchased a pair of Danner boots and Ops Gear sent the wrong size and would never give me credit for them and wanted me to pay to have them shipped back. I ended up sending to manufacturer. I won't be buying Danner Boots or especially from Ops Gear. After returning to manufacturer, I still had to put a dispute on my credit card to get the refund even though credit card gave Ops Gear the money back.

I put a order in 42 days ago and still have not received anything. I emailed them 14 days after the order because I never got a tracking number. The order said fulfilled on there website. They did email back and said they would get back to me with a tracking number. Of course no tracking number and no items yet. Learned my lesson. I will never order from them again.

Hi Jeremy. Please see my replies to comments above. Similarly, I want to make sure you were taken care of, even though it was not my company you were dealing with. Please email me at: nevin at opsgear dot com if you need anything, or if you were not eventually taken care of by the former OPSGEAR company.

They will, repeat will, F up your order. You will not receive it, but you will receive responses from them that they are trying to locate it, trying to correct an error in the order, about to ship it, etc. They also do NOT return phone calls and you will NEVER speak to a live person at this outfit. They have an automated customer service system which absolutely does not work, they don't check very often, and frankly they just don't care about customers. Pathetic.

Opsgear Inc. is a scam. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM! Same story as the rest of the reviewers. Purchased an item from their on line store and never received it. Multiple attempts to make contact with no success.

Ordered something without checking reviews, my fault. But emailed to cancel order. They said ok. Been a month now, no refund and no response to email. $40 down drain I suspect. Avoid at all cost!

I really think Ops Gear doesn't care about their reputation in this industry. Despite numerous attempts to contact them by phone and by email to get a status on my order, they ignored all messages, including my request to cancel the order. Due to their irrisponsiveness, I resorted to purchase the items from another vendor and request a refund from them, eventually involving the Utah Better Business Bureau to reach out to them on my behalf. They then shipped my order despite my cancellation. I will never do business with them again, and discourage same.

I purchased a two week survival bag over a month ago. After waiting two weeks, I cancelled my order andam still waiting for a full refund. I opened a dispute with my credit card company. My next step is small claims court if the refund doesnt materialize soon. This company is long on promises and short on delivering service. Buyer beware.

Hi David. We (DP Creations, LLC) acquired OPSGEAR at the end of 2017. I am sorry for your experience with the old OPSGEAR, but rest assured it will not happen with the new OPSGEAR. And I think you did the right thing to dispute the credit card charge. The old OPSGEAR drop shipped most of what they sold, and didn't actually stock much of anything. In contrast, we stock everything we sell, and have the fastest shipping in the industry. The downside is that we are still building our inventory, so there currently aren't as many SKU's on our opsgear.com website as the former OPSGEAR had. But we are adding more daily. Also, we will soon be adding firearms to our website-- that is an area where the old OPSGEAR never went. We have a lot of experience in the firearms industry, having Handgun Haven (handgunhaven.com), where we have the largest stock of handguns of anyone in Utah. So stay tuned! -Nevin Pratt, CEO of OPSGEAR2

This will be my one and olny purchase from this company. Thave taken half a month to process my purchase and it has not even been shipped yet. Customer service is non-existent. They do not return emails or hone calls. All call to them are routed to voice mail hell. I guess they rely on one time purchases to stay in business!

I wish I had read this site before I ordered hundreds of dollars of gear from OPSGEAR. Then I wouldn't be waiting here months later waiting for anything to turn up.
Phone is NEVER answered - no matter when or how often you call. Facebook messages and emails never answered. I only received a reply after I setup
A Facebook page called OPSGEAR FAIL. Avoid these guys like the plague. Spend your hard earned elsewhere is my advice

3 days after initiating a CC dispute (and still no word from OPSGEAR) the boots arrived and I got an email from the company apologizing for the "lack of communication." Unfortunately, the dispute caused the cancellation of the CC and a reissuance of another card--a huge hassle for autopay accounts.

Waiting for my item for 2 and a half months and still haven't received it. Sent over dozens of emails and no answer. Contacting them by phone is a joke, simply redirects to leave a voicemail.

Worst experience I've had with online purchasing.

This is a horrible company. There customer service is the worst I have experienced in a very long time. Shipping error on their part (billing vs shipping) which has yet to be rectified. Company does not return emails, phone calls and trying to get a refund is ongoing and extremely difficult. John West and David Burnell should be embarrassed to put their names to such a poorly run operation. It's a good thing that OPSGEAR only sells kit, any other kind of ops would be disastrous!

My company (DP Creations, LLC -- e.g. "DPCR") bought the OPSGEAR trademark, copyrights, and domains (and a few other assets), with full control transferred from the old OPSGEAR company to my company toward the end of 2017. DPCR has a reputation for the fastest shipping in the industry, and is the umbrella company over the original Handgun Haven (Utah's Largest Handgun Selection), as well as several other companies. We are reorganizing *everything* pertaining to OPSGEAR. Try us-- we won't let you down.
