Krylon -

I wasn't close enough while painting my gun, but calling their customer service helped me figure it out, and they sent out two new cans within a week without any question or need for proof of actually buying them.

Wellco -

A pair of my Wellco boots came apart, and Wellco replaced them very quickly and without getting the old ones back first. Same as before, excellent service and a definite two thumbs up for Wellco.

And of course, I can't mention Wellco without mentioning Practical Tactical. Tim hooked me up!

I LOVE my VCL-ICB's. They required pretty much no break in what so ever and have kept me from slipping and falling, or twisting my ankle a few times goin down those hills.  Even though their not water proof mine still didnt get wet inside when going through 3" deep water... And of course Tim has great prices on all the gear you need. And hes local so thats a plus.

Airsoft Extreme -

I have done business with them many, many times, and on the occasion that something does get screwed up (even if it's my fault :D) they will pay for return shipping and have good customer support to boot.
They also didn't mind talking to me long distance (even though they were picking up the tab). I must also say they have a great selection of things Airsoft.

Aimpoint -

My Aimpoint came with the old style caps with no means to attach a retaining strap.  Called them up and Paul in customer service sent me out a set for free.

Tactical Tailor -

I recently bought a lot of stuff from Tactical Tailor, and there were about 4 or 5 errors.  (Sending the wrong item, sending the incorrect amount, etc)  But they made everything right very quickly (Overnight) and let me keep about $100 of gear that they had accidentally sent me.

Surefire -

Broke the lens to my combatlight by dropping the bezel on concrete. Emailed Surefire, told them that it was broken, and all they asked was for my mailing address. Package came a few days later.

Tactical Assault Gear -

Great selection of stuff. Run entirely by active Marines and Navy in San Diego. Great guys with FAST service. I did an email/phone transaction (the only way to get next-day delivery from them) with them mid-day on wed before OP:LC3 and I was worried that I wouldn't get my stuff in time. They got it to me on thursday no problem. They were also out of my size in the gloves I ordered, so they included a very nice TAG shirt with my order and a handwritten explanation. These guys are GREAT!

Both of these manufacturers were good to me, and I figure the least I can do is spread the word.

Camelbak -

On two separate occasions, I've had leaky Camelbak reservoirs, and both times, Camelbak has sent me new ones, without any fuss or returning the defective product or even proof that I even owned what I got a replacement for.  Very good in my book.

The first item they replaced even had to be sent twice, because the first time it was lost in the mail.  Again, no fuss there, and when the 2nd one arrived, it had some pretty fast shipping on it, too.

Wellco -

A pair of my Wellco boots came apart, and Wellco replaced them very quickly and without getting the old ones back first.  Same as before, excellent service and a definite two thumbs up for Wellco.

http://www.wellco.com/

And of course, I can't mention Wellco without mentioning Practical Tactical.  Tim hooked me up!

Anybody else have similar experiences?

1800nametape.com / Spurnametapes -

This company rocks! Ive ordered three times from them and never had a problem. My first order was for personal name tapes, the second was for a custom name tape, and I recently ordered some Dog Tags. All 3 transactions went very smoothly and I received the items on the expected dates. The build/stitch quality of all 3 were very good. Look into them when you want to get some embroidered nametapes/insignias etc.

SKD Tactical -

SKD Rocks!  I placed an order on Friday night, well after closing time (about 18:00 here- they are in NY). They shipped on Saturday via USPS. I got my stuff Monday. That S&H only cost $5, too.

Strategos International / Strategos Store -

I just got some stuff from StrategosStore and it was awesome.  A paraclete TX-II (that most places have for at least $65) was only $41 and shipping was incredibly fast!
