Well, I didn't even mention "roll's"....... 

























Sorry to get back on topic but I recently ordered a complete us loadout from sof and it took over a week and a half to arrive. I phoned them up to ask about the order and they said it was due to the helmet I ordered requirng conveting. I don't really mind as I don't need the kit for a while, the only thing I don't understand is how everyone allways seams to slate sof for being the most expensive. I did a little tesco/asda syle price comparison for a basic us loadout between sof and epic militaria and as you can see sof is considerably cheaper at the moment.

ok so it may take a little while longer to arrive but thats quite a saving you have to agree.

Some things are loads cheaper.
E.g german inf assault badge is £6 from them and over £10 elsewhere...
However...
Equally an RAC helmet from Sabre is £15 and it was £65 from Sof
The point is not 'never use sof' its 'dont blindly buy all your stuff from one stockist' - shop around.

My issue isn't pricing, it's quality. I've never bought anything from them because when I've checked it out at a stall it's just been a bit....thin. ![]()

























Just checked their website and to be fair to them they do say this on the front page--
Delivery times.
Due to an increase in orders and moving warehouse some Re-enactment orders are taking a little longer to send out, we are trying to get all orders shipped within 5 days. If you do require the order quickly please e mail us after you have placed the order, with the date you need it by and your order number. We hope to be back to normal shortly.
well it does amuse me that you get complaints when deliveries take a week or so ...coming from a Medieval and Napoleonic living history background we'd sometimes have to wait a year for some bits and pieces.

Its because i told them to put up a notice about the delays. I thought it was unfair that if you needed the item for an event, and ordered it in good time. That potential customers should be notified of delays..

my US webbing from them fell to bits after 2 games
its good for the stand around at shows thinking your cool, but ANY kind of running or jumping (and yes i do sometimes) and its bolloxed

You should be alright they are improving on times..Just had something delivered quickier.
This is a thread about SOF and their delayed delivery problems. It is not for arguing about other things. OK?

Recently received an M1 Carbine pouch quite quickly which I was happy with. In a different package I also received someone elses package as well!
If anyone ordered a Trail Classic butane gas stove and a Fallshirmjager tshirt with a picture of a Fallshirmjager with FG42 over his shoulder on the back...get in touch
I haven't sent it back to SOF because I'm not paying p&p for their mistake.

If buttons fall off its authentic.
Landsers had to sew most the buttons on their uniforms after they were issued as they fell off easily from the facory/stores.

Placed an order online on Sunday.
Arrived on Tuesday.
No complaints here.
They seem to have got there act together now. I ordered stuff on Saturday as next day delivery, and they arrived today.
Yes, I placed an order on the 4th and it arrived this morning (11th) by 48hr carrier - no complaints there. Looks like they have sorted the warehouse/despatch problems (for the moment anyway).
