Purchased two pins. Haven't seen SNAFU in a long time! Spent 13 months in NHA TRANG. Was surprised to find that pin in production. Great prices, excellent service.
Will purchase again. Thanks VetFriends

I want you to replace my ID card with my picture on it. An ID without picture on it, it won't honour to public.

Thanks,

Order 787320
March 27, 2019

I ordered $80.00 worth of items from this company. Two weeks later after not receiving I called the company. They stated the Post Office could not deliver to a UPS Facility Post Office Box in Alexandria VA. My complaint the company stated 1-7 days delivery. Its two weeks later no delivery or any form of notification. No tracking number or anything. I know this company tries to serve the Veterans needs. But I am canceling my order and I will never purchase ANYTHING from this company again. Absolute terrible customer service.

February 15, 2019

I love the selection of hats and military gear. My boys went on a camping retreat with our church and I ordered camping gear, flashlights, backpacks from vetfriends.com. I waited until a week before to decide to order (after looking all over for these items not being able to find them) so i was kind of nervous about getting them on time. Everything came on time and we were satisfied with all the items. I will definitely be ordering again

Smooth Exchange
January 21, 2019

I ordered a US Army fleece jacket for my father but it was a size too small. I called Customer Service & it was no problem. Even exchange. He loves the jacket & had his correct size within a couple of days.

Norb, We are sorry you had trouble getting through to us during the holidays. We are a small Veteran Owned Business. If the mistake is ours, we send you a return label and can either exchange, credit or refund your order. We hope you have some resolution now. Contacting customer service is a much more direct way to reach us, as we do not pay for Sitejabber and have limited response capabilities. https://www.vetfriends.com/about/faq_general_information.cfm Amy C.

Slowest order fulfillment I have ever been around! Makes the snail mail of the postal service lightning fast! They state Free shipping and charge for shipping. Lack of respect by not fulfilling the order in a timely manner. They Do Not return phone calls! Hats are shipped in an envelope and arrive flat and out of shape. They need to state upfront it may take up to a month to receive your order! This is one and done!

We are so sorry you had a bad experience. Some items state they are special order and take additional time plus your date was near Christmas and we are not nearly as large or well funded as Amazon. Free shipping is for members and orders over $100 as our website states. As for any damaged items, we would gladly send a recall tag and replace the damaged item. We are a veteran owned small business since 2000 and cannot afford to have bad reviews. We want satisfied Veterans.

I ordered from this site for Christmas gifts. The site stated "shipped before Christmas ". However, not only was my order not sent, when I reached out to customer service, she was beyond rude and stated she would cancel my order. I asked for return information and she cancelled and issued store credit. I waxthen told my item has still not shipped, 2 weeks after I initially placed the order. So disheartened as this site states it represents military service men/women.
This site seems to be a scam.

If your issue was not resolved please get back in touch with our team at [email protected]. We do not regularly surf these sites for customer service requests. Most sincerely, Amy C.
