Paid for Premium Shipping -- Item Still Hasn't Shipped…read more I placed an order with ArmyNavyUSA.com on 02/19/2026 at 9:41 AM PST. At checkout, they offered three shipping options: Ground Advantage, Priority Mail, and UPS -- with UPS being the most expensive option. I chose UPS, assuming the higher cost meant faster or at least prioritized handling. It is now February 26, 2026, and the item still has not shipped. When I reached out to customer support, I received this response: "Unfortunately the UPS option is not a fast shipping option." That explanation is baffling. If UPS isn't faster, why is it presented as the premium-priced option? Charging more for a shipping method that doesn't actually expedite processing feels misleading at best. After looking into the company's reputation, I noticed their Trustpilot rating sits around 2.3 stars, with numerous reviews specifically mentioning slow shipping and poor communication. What's even more concerning is the pattern of nearly identical owner replies apologizing and promising to "improve processes," while the same issues continue months later. At some point, repeated apologies stop meaning anything. Paying extra for shipping, waiting a full week without dispatch, and receiving vague explanations is frustrating and disappointing. Transparency matters. If processing times are long regardless of the shipping method selected, that should be clearly disclosed before customers pay more. I'm genuinely curious to see what generic, templated response will appear under this review. Hopefully it includes more than the usual "we're working on improving." Buyers should read the reviews carefully before ordering. Also just look at the photo they have on Google Maps...look at the front of the store...do you want to order from here?

This was the WORST customer service experience I have EVER had…read more I placed an order OVER a week ago, and it still HASN'T shipped, so I called to cancel the order. The male representative I spoke with was EXTREMELY unprofessional and disrespectful from the moment I said I wanted to CANCEL. He responded with a condescending tone and said, "Are you aware NYC has high restrictions on using batons?" I replied that yes, I am aware, and I have purchased from your company before. He then QUESTIONED me further and asked for information to verify if I had actually made a previous purchase--as if that had anything to do with the current order. What does that have to do with the fact that my order hasn't even shipped? If you are TRULY concerned about customers being aware of local restrictions on the items you sell, then you should clearly post that information on your website--ideally somewhere visible BEFORE checkout--so customers can read it and make an informed decision before placing an order. I firmly stated that I wanted to cancel and receive a refund regardless of whether the item ever ships or not. At that point, he began to "WARN" me that if I canceled this order, the company would not process any of my future orders. I actually laughed at how absurd and unprofessional that sounded, and I told him that was perfectly fine. He then abruptly said he would issue a refund and hung up on me IMMEDIATELY. BYE~

I was helped by a couple of young guys on the sales floor; high school age, eager for the sale, and they did a great job. Their professionalism and friendly service reminded me of my first sales job, and I have to give them props... it's not easy, especially these days. I called ahead about a hard-to-find field jacket liner, and they knew exactly where to take me on arrival. They even let me try it in my jacket to make sure it fit perfectly. By the end of my visit, I had also picked up a hat and handkerchief. Service was that good! The store has an incredible selection, Carhart and Dickies, true surplus, you name it! (with a great bag selection btw). I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend Browns Army Navy on Broadway in Astoria.

We've shopped at Paragon for decades and always had good to great experiences there. The staff is…read morewell-informed, has integrity and the merchandise is of excellent quality. Tonight l had another great experience at Paragon thanks to the sensitivity and good nature of Mike R in the upstairs shoe and boot department. As a rule, my 88-year old husband doesn't like to buy himself new clothes. But after what feels like weeks in this polar vortex, with him stubbornly trudging and slipping through the snow in old rubber rain boots and a cane, l stopped hinting and put my foot down: we were going to buy him some warm, waterproof boots with cleats. Knowing that he might only put up with one outing, I decided to scout Paragon on my own, first. Mike R. advised me he had only one style of boot that fit what l was looking for and not many sizes left. When he came back with a size in the ballpark, l asked if he could hold it for me. Mike was blunt: he couldn't do any 24-hour holds with the stock so low, but he could hold it for two hours. I thanked him, explaining that if l bought these and presented them to my husband as a done deal he would never even try them on. But we'd be back, within the hour. When we arrived on the floor, Mike picked right up on the dynamic: this was not a customer for a hard sell. And so Mike was the soul of discretion. He kept a low profile, talking quietly and only to me and showed up just often enough to be helpful. He was patient, kind and l got the feeling he was enjoying the challenge of selling without ever even connecting with the guy trying on the boots. And Mike's strategy worked! We made the transition from my husband's original reaction to the only boots in his size ("l hate them!") to walking out with four pairs of socks and that same pair of warm, waterproof boots with cleats. I am deeply grateful to and frankly in awe of Mike R, Paragon boots department. Thank you!
