Looking to buy a kit deal from these guys next month; anyone ordered from there before. I know a few guys in CIA looked at them/ordered from them a year or so ago.

I think $170-ish is great for a full kit, especially as I have spent likely thousands of pounds on my US and German kits.

Please advise, comrades. :) :)

Have a word with Lardassmonkey... I believe he has ordered some extra stuff to sell in his big order.

Alex is very hit and miss. I don't belive he is a crook, just a bit useless. Stuff tends to get there in the end, its just a question of when. Wildfire is right about his communication; very helpful before paying, hard to get hold of after. My hope is that by combining our order into one big one its too large for him to forget about and there is too many people he has to worry about pissing off.

In terms of extras I've ordered I don't have uniforms (yet) as I can't afford the expense of ordering multiple sizes at the moment. I do have lots of other kit coming though. Including; Ppsh drum mag pouches, grenade pouches, gas mask bags, belts, canteens, mess tins, rain capes, politkas, and backpacks. Everything you need bar the uniform. I also have a couple of extra greatcoats coming.
If all goes well with order and I sell enough kit I may place another order in a few months that will include uniforms. If you're interested just let me know and I'll get back to you when I'm placing it.

Tovarischi;

I placed an order with, and paid for several items with FOR in early October, 2009. On several occasions, I contacted Alexey, and only rarely get a response. When I got a response, it indicated that my items had been shipped in November, 2009, but when I didn't receive them, I contacted him again. The response I received in early March, 2010, indicated that the items I had ordered, had not even been produced yet.

I strongly recommend that you avoid purchasing from this vendor.

He has either completely, or largely failed in every single order I have ever been a party to.

I made my first order with him four years ago, and he only shipped half of what I had ordered, and paid for, and most of what was shipped was incorrect sizes.

When I requested that he either refund my money, or send the correct items, he offered to "make things right", if I placed an additional order. I was wary, but many others have sung his praises, so some of my friends ordered some items, and we waited.

Nothing ever arrived, and Alexey just finally stopped responding to my e-mails.

A few months ago, two of my troopers ordered from him, and he shipped their stuff quickly, and it was all correct, so I decided to give him one last try.

Well, the order finally arrived. Unfortunately, none of it was correct. I ordered three items, and none of the items I ordered were shipped. What was shipped was, A: the wrong style, B: the wrong color, and C: the wrong size.

It was also over three months late, from what he promised as a delivery date. I placed the order in Oct, 2009, was promised delivery by late Dec, 2009, or early Jan, 2010 at the latest. It arrived in late April, after I had been told it had been shipped in Nov., 2009, however, the postmark on the package was two weeks earlier in April of 2010, not Nov, or even Dec., 2009.

Honestly, I am so angry at this vendor that I will never deal with him again!

Strike three!

He is outta here.

I will NEVER purchase from him again!

He is unreliable, and non-responsive.

Caveat Emptor

Well, you won't find anyone on here to disagree with you!

Personally, I think it's high time we stopped f**king around with this bloke and demanded a full and immediate refund. I myself am £180 out of pocket with this piece of scum. I have emailed him many times and, when he's deigned to reply, it's always been a bunch of bullshit that he comes back with. If he were a UK retailer, I would long ago have paid him a "visit" and got my money back that way.

As I have said elsewhere, tell everyone you know to never deal with "front of russia"!



When I want your opinion - I'll tell you what it is!
