Excellent quality gear from FAB Defense

Got a holster and mag pouch from FAB Defense. Both items arrived pretty fast and look solid. Holster fits my Glock perfectly, no issues. Color matches what was shown. Happy with the order overall.

Lack Integrity

Dec 22nd: Ordered micro conversion kit
Dec 31st: Received wrong part and asked for new one.
Jan 24th: Received random flashlight with no explanation why.
Jan 31: returned wrong micro conversion kit
March 17th: I emailed and asked if it shipped.
March 18th: Reply email to me saying the supplier was out of business and it was uncertain if the package would be sent to me.
March 24th: "Unfortunately, we are unable to refund orders that MCK was responsible for. Since they provided guarantees they could not uphold, we are not in a position to offer a resolution."

Conclusion: Scammed out of $261 and super pissed.

The entire buying process was messed up…

The entire buying process was messed up from the beginning . The part I ordered and paid for after 3 days was now not is stock . They then said how about a different color which they showed me a picture of wasn't at all the same as what was promised the it was for a different caliber and looked nothing like what I said yes to. the order was still wrong with not all parts that where paid for and no intrusions cam with it. it was so poorly packed in a short no rip bag and the part was just in the backpack that was on the order I'm amazed it wasn't broken. After 2 weeks of back and for they wanted me to pay for shipping the part back then pay for the restocking fee and pay to ship a new part. all with no written guaranty that they would finally get the right product to me. This is an amazingly poorly run company with the worst sales and customer service .As much as I liked the product is the past I will wait until a similar one hits the market. Buyer be ware on this company. total rip off

Hi Tim,

Before going into the details you mentioned here, perhaps it is best to begin with the order you placed - a conversion system for a Glock 26.
When you received the order, you complained we sent you the wrong compatibility, claiming you ordered for a Glock 17. 
Each pistol has it's own configuration, so when placing the order there is no room for a mistake - You placed the order for the wrong pistol. 
Since placing the order is the customers' responsibility, incase of a mistake - The return shipping and related fees are covered by the customer. In the multiple emails back and forth with our customer service, we asked you to relate to the configuration you actually ordered, but you did not relate to this very basic and important issue over and over again. 

As to your additional complaints -  

Processing time - Your order was placed over the weekend, we contacted you right after, to let you know there was an issue with the color ordered, and to offer alternatives. Inventory can change depending on manufacturing. As soon as we received your reply it was shipped, and received well within the guaranteed time frame. 

Color - In the listing you used to place the order, we state the following -  
"Stock & Front Grip Color:The stock color may vary depending on manufacturer availability. For the Gen 4X, the front grip color is also subject to variation based on stock levels.
Both the stock and grip may either match the system’s body color or be provided in black.
Please note that the product images on the website are for reference only and may not reflect the exact color variations."

Packaging - This is the standard way the manufacturer ships. Out of thousands of packages shipped, they have not been damaged. But, if there had been any damage caused, it would have been covered by your insurance. 

Missing items - Out of the entire order, there was indeed a packaging mistake, leaving the thumb rests ordered out of the package. Our reply was immediate, saying that we will send any missing items (on us, no one asked you to cover , as soon as we can work out the compatibility issue mentioned above. 

We are sorry you are upset, but your review is misleading.

Let us know when you would like to set up the return for the order. 

Thank you,
IDS Team

Hi Holly,

We are sorry to read the review you have left, and are also sorry the shipping process and experience did not go as expected.

Your package was indeed shipped off as guaranteed, but, as can happen from time to time during tranzit, the Post office could not locate the package.
When you reached out initially about the package, we began the investigation process with the Post office.
The process can take time and is out of our hands.

Many times in cases of packages "lost in tranzit", the package actually does reach the customer, even if it does not reflect in the tracking.
When you reached out again after quite some time, parallel to leaving this public scam review, we realized the package did not show up after all, a FULL REFUND was issued to you several weeks ago.

We have reached out to you multiple times with no response - Both to make sure you have received the refund, and to request that should the package show up on your doorstep one day (as can happen from time to time), we also ask that you be fair and let us know, especially given we shipped the products + refunded the order. We would also ask that you remove the review.


Thank you for your understanding,

IDS Team

Can't get any better!

I bought their IDF jacket 15 or 20 years ago. I loved it even after it wore out and I just recently ordered a NEW one. It is better than the first one and it's warmer than similar stateside big name brands. The price was good and delivery speed was OK. Communication was excellent. What else can anyone expect. Highly recommended product and company!

DO NOT BUY FROM ISRAELDEFENSESTORE

DO NOT BUY FROM ISRAELDEFENSESTORE

ordered a Fast ballistic helmet, was in stock.
Charged me for item, then got email several days later saying the item wasn't in stock, asking me to please "hurry and pick another color" before those are out of stock.

Replied with how unprofessional that was, and that I would NOT be choosing another item unless a discount was provided.

They replied several days later with "will forward to our customer service department"

Never heard from them again.

Item in mention is listed as in stock still.

Scam, do not purchase items from this store.

Dear Ryan,

We are sorry to see you have chosen to leave your review public, even after our private correspondence.

We explained that inventory can fluctuate, that we contacted you as soon as the Black Friday sale was over and we began to process our orders.
We also mentioned that if you do not want the alternative item we suggested, we can cancel the order.
Your payment was never captured, as we were waiting for your reply regarding the switch of items.
You might not be pleased with the process, but it is not a scam as you mentioned.

Thank you for your understanding,
IDS Team

Horizontal and Vertical Mag Carrier and IDS customer service

I ordered both the vertical and horizontal magazine carrier for the ar-15. The package arrived quickly and the customer service was great!

In my opinion, the vertical mag carrier works great for an ar-15 with a pistol grip and the horizontal magazine carrier works better with a in-line rifle grip like my Keltec Su-16. I say this because it doesn't impede your support hand on the foregrip nor your grip on the firing grip on either of my rifle. Lastly, both mag carriers only fit STAGNAG (GI) mags, not my PMAGs, which is fine for me. I love this concept of this magazine carrier because I can grab my rifle in a stressful home defense situation and have a full mag alongside it. Great product and wonderful customer service and look forward to buying more products in the future!

By far the worst experience I’ve ever had. Very unprofessional and careless service. Did not receive my package and lost my money. Basically, they just stole my money.
After18 months of emails exchange with their customer service, they told me that they are sorry and their policy doesn’t allow them to refund me. What a joke. Thinking about taking them to a small claim court!

Unresponsive but great quality products

Recently received my MCK for my Taurus G3c and everything is great quality wise, my only problem with this company is their customer service. There is no way to call or text and their email service is, on a good day, able to answer 1 email a day. I had to resort to coming here and leaving a review in order to receive a more in depth answer but other than problems listed, great products.

We are sorry you feel scammed!
However...
You havent ordered Express shipping. You have ordered registered shipping. The order confirmation clearly states 14 business days.
Currently, according to the tracking information, your parcel has:
"Your item arrived at our OPA LOCKA FL DISTRIBUTION CENTER origin facility"
We assume you'd get it within the next day or 2 still within the promised time frame.
Please, once you get it and if all is OK, please remove this feedback.
Thanks

Dear Miguel,
We see no order nor emails or refund request under the name Miguel Garcia.
Nor we can see the shipping method you chose...
If you could provide the order number or any other detail to recognize your order, that would be helpful.

I have been waiting for my package for 44 days

I have been waiting for my package for 44 days, IDS refers me to USPS. But they never received a package. This appears to be a scam.

On Google I have the review with screenshots and tracking ID of my package as proof as well as the email from IDS. My parcel was sent as priority mail and should be with me in 4-15 working days. Customer service is slow to respond and doesn't address the problem at all. Today is April 3rd and I haven't heard anything.
