Nonexistent customer service. After reading these reviews, I'm glad I didn't get around to ordering from them. I wanted to order an expensive SOMS bag but was concerned about measurements. I called their clueless customer service reps twice trying to get answers to my questions before buying a $350 bag. Both times I was promised a call back, and nothing. I'll spend my money somewhere else.

Poor customer care Placed an order realized I ordered the incorrect size call to cancel. They said that I could not. I would have to wait for it to be shipped and then return it eight days later it has still not shipped no emails you’re better off ordering something from wish you will get it sooner. I will be returning the order. I really wanted because of poor communication and shipping.

Horrible Customer Service! I loved my 511 side zip boots. Actually had 2 pairs but when trying to reorder them with a LEO discount the costumer service was awful. I was on the phone for over an hour where they transferred me 3 times then left me on a blank line for 20 additional mins. Because of this experience I’m ordering shoes from Bates or a different company. So sad that they promote being Law Enforcement friendly but can’t even direct one caller. I thought they would be better!

Loaned 5.11 my money for 3 months Bought and paid for a backpack early December but didn’t receive it. Figured Covid Blah...Blah...Blah! Not sure what has happened cause I can’t get a response from customer service. So then a few days ago mysteriously a email popped up refunding my money with no explanation. So I apparently patiently waited for almost 3 months for a refund. What a garbage company!

Great products when they decide to ship… Great products when they decide to ship them. Order showed processing for over one month. When I called customer service said she would send message to warehouse. Item shipped next day but month after originally ordered. Gave them another try and 1 item showing pending 1 week later. Called customer service and very rude guy told me item was on back order. Love the gear but from now on I will order from third party. Midway , academy, etc… 5:11 has horrible inventory system and order fulfillment is not good.
