INFO

Catalyst Surplus sells a consistently changing range of both new and refurbished surplus equipment. We take pride in the quality of our gear, and use a grading system to accurately describe our inventory. All items are inspected for damage and wear, and any items with damage affecting functionality are discarded. All used items are cleaned and/or sanitized as needed.

DISCLAIMER: Images shown in listings are examples of the product make/ model, and may not be the exact item in our inventory that you will receive. You will receive the same advertised model, but condition varies based on your selections.

Some items we sell have armor that has exceeded its factory warranty period. This is known to generally have no impact on performance, particularly for gear that hasn't been heavily abused, and we don't list items we deem to have any functional damage. Other consumables may also be past their expiration/ inspection date. We stand fully by the quality of the gear we sell, but as we are not the original manufacturers, we cannot provide any warranty or guarantees regarding performance. Be educated and regularly inspect your gear, no matter where you got it from.

REFUNDS/ RETURNS: Due to the life-saving nature of our PPE and armor products, the bulk of our inventory, we are unable to accept returns or exchanges. If you have any issues with your order, please contact us.

CANCELLED ORDERS: You may contact us to cancel your order prior to shipment. Shipped orders cannot be cancelled or refunded. If an unshipped order must be cancelled due to a customer request, the full amount minus the 3% card processing fee will be refunded. For orders through PayPal, this fee is 5%. For orders cancelled due to legal restrictions, there will be a fee of 10% of your total order value. Please do not attempt to place orders that defy your local laws.

ITAR/ SELLING RESTRICTIONS: The majority of the items we sell are ITAR restricted, and therefore we cannot personally ship most of them outside of the United States. We also cannot ship armor to banned states such as CT and NY. By placing an order you agree to abide by your local laws and import/ export regulations. A 10% restocking fee will be withheld for orders that must be cancelled due to legal restrictions. Please do not place orders that defy your laws.

YOU MUST BE AT LEAST 18 YEARS OF AGE TO PURCHASE ARMOR FROM OUR SITE. Placing an order that includes any sort of armor means you are verifying you are at least 18 years of age.

FELONS CANNOT POSESS OR PURCHASE ARMOR. We are not liable in instances where those who legally cannot own armor decide to purchase it anyway.

Orders may be cancelled at our discretion for a variety of reasons. Orders that we cancel for reasons not listed will be refunded in full.

We currently ship solely to the United States and its territories.

We strive to ship out orders as quickly as possible, general time frame for having items shipped out is 4 days. We DO NOT ship armor to any banned states (NY, CT) or anywhere that may violate ITAR or local laws.

Orders that are undeliverable due to an incorrect address will have the order cost refunded if/ when the package is returned to sender, but the shipping cost and processing fee will not be refunded. Please make sure the address you provide is correct, once an item is sent out an address change is generally not possible, and if it is, there is usually a fee for re-routing the package that you must pay to receive your item. If an incorrect address is provided we cannot provide refunds for orders that are delivered to the incorrect location, or for orders where the re-route fee is not paid by the customer (when applicable).

For those who try to bypass shipping restrictions, such as using forwarding services or forwarding through a contact in the US, we cannot be held liable for any resulting action, losses, or consequence.
