Our Grading Process
Each item is inspected by our warehouse team. We remove damaged goods, test zippers/snaps, and sort into:
- New - (New w/ tags, New-in-bag, New old stock)
- Very Good - Minimal signs of use. These items may have slight wear or minor cosmetic imperfections, but overall, they are in excellent shape.
- Good - used but are still in good working condition. These items may show moderate signs of wear, such as fading, scuffs, or small repairs. Despite these cosmetic flaws, Good condition military surplus items are fully functional and offer reliable performance.
- Defect - Heavily used and may require some repairs or refurbishment. These items may have substantial wear, tear, fading, stains, and other cosmetic flaws.
Sustainability Matters
We divert over 50 tons of high-quality gear from the waste stream annually, supporting circular economy goals and giving your customers authentic, durable products with a story.

Bought a lot of surplus from here. Excellent customer service and staff is fantastic. The bargin bins are a really cool feature of the store.
Hydration Carrier - OCP - Used - w/ NEW Bladder
US Military Surplus Backpack ACU MOLLE II 3-Day Assault Pack USGI
I ordered the grade 1 - like new. I think it is new as it looks like it has never been issued or used. It's a great pack for short hikes and makes a nice overnight travel bag too. I am very satisfied with the item, the price, and the speed of delivery!
US Military Surplus Backpack ACU MOLLE II 3-Day Assault Pack USGI
Fast service & very reasonable pricing.
I bought an U.S. Military Surplus Medium Field Pack Rucksack MOLLE II Complete - OCP/Multicam - Very Good. Well, I'll tell you what, this item is NEW. How I know it was new? I had to assemble it, that's how. Not a tear or a scuff of any kind on this thing. Everything to assemble it was in the rucksack. All I had to do was go search how to assemble it on the internet. It was simple to put together. And the price was fantastic. I ordered it on Saturday July 5th and got it on Tuesday July 8th. I will go to this seller again. I am well satisfied. Thank you.
I love my PCP Hydration Carrier from Forest City Supply. If you need military gear, give them a look before you search anywhere else.
Better than described. Great value and condition for the money. A great family to do business with.
Exactly what I was looking for at an unbeatable price.
We bought this tarp thinking it would be pretty worn yet still useful especially at the bargain price. Nope, arrived looking closer to a new item. We are very very happy with all the purchased items from Forest City.
