Following a ridiculous experience with Hoplite, I was able to dispute charges, get my funds back, and leave them in the dust. With that being said, the product I had chosen (LTC 26605) were the plates I felt met my needs and I really wanted to go ahead and purchase them from a reputable source. I came across Saber Solutions previously on arfcom and had a good exchange going back and forth discussing various plates on the market. Well, low and behold Saber Solutions newly carries LTC plates. I reached out on May 1, 2020 to see if it would be possible to special order the LTC 26605 plates, I was told that Saber did not have them in stock, but would reach out to LTC to verify their stock and availability. The very next day we touched base, LTC had them in stock, ready to ship immediately, Saber invoiced me, I paid, and we were off to the races. Plates shipped from LTC to Saber Solutions, repacked, and sent on their way to me. That brings us to today, 11 days after payment, I received my plates, packed extremely well, individually wrapped in bubble wrap, boxed with adequate packing material and a cardboard divider along with a personalized thank you. This is what customer service looks like.

Onto the plates, the 10x12" swimmer cut 26605s fit perfectly into my medium Ferro Concepts Slickster with 0 play, they fit seam to seam, top to bottom in the plate pockets. The covering on the plates is sealed extremely neat, the seams all look great. Weight wise, they feel excellent and the triple curve fit my body well. I am very happy with my choice and thrilled with the customer service provided by Saber Solutions, LLC.

Glad to hear your first internet purchase went well.

Today I’m going to try ordering from the amazon, stay tuned for a review.

Thank you for sharing your experience and I'm glad that you're happy!

Saber Solutions are great people, they will always get my business

I’m really the most stoked these fit my slickster so well.

Piling on the praise train, I sent Alex several rapid-fire inquiries and he responded to them all quickly and patiently.

Also wanted to chime in... patriot_man (aka Melon_Killer) has been one of the best sources for hard armor info I've seen to-date. Seriously knowledgeable no-BS posts in a market full of snake-oil salesmen. I'll be putting in my first order from Saber Solutions shortly. You guys have definitely earned my business.

Honesty goes a long way in any business, but in one where they are selling armor it’s the selling point for me.

nice.  I paid about 550 for my 26605s from hoplite, and it took about 5 weeks vs the 8 days they promised.  Mind me asking what it cost you, and shipping time from saber solutions?

Shipping time was in my original post, right about 12 days total from invoice paid, to unboxing these for this post and getting them into my carrier. Oddly enough, TODAY I received the order canceled email from Hoplite (you can read all about my hoplite saga in a separate post) just shy of 8 weeks post ordering (and being told they would have shipped that week).

$535.60 shipped for a pair of 10" x 12" swimmers

+1 on this.  Great service, he took great care of me and threw in a shirt and hat.  Will definately go through him for future buys too.
