Seriously over $100 just to ship two plates?

I’ve had the best luck with eBay for stuff like that. I got 2 ar500 plates off there for $85 shipped. As well as just other big and or liquid stuff other places won’t ship.

Cost me like $30 at LAPG and about $45 at Botach. Bulletproof it wanted about $40 I think with their rebranded Hesco 4410s I think it was. RMA armament I think wanted like $60-70. I live near Anchorage though so if you're further north or somewhere less accessible by land I wouldn't be surprised if it cost more.

I ordered a set yesterday. Same total. I did use the GMLODMD discount code.

I'll report back when they arrive.

T.Rex Arms has the L210s often. When I last looked they were $270 DOH! $370, with $5 shipping.

More for the plates, cheap shipping. Comes out close to the same. Buy from whoever has them in stock.

[ETA: Alaskageown was correct. They were $370 for the plates, not $270. I blame my fat fingers and tiny little potato keyboard. But still a good price w shipping.]

RMA ships plates up via UPS and its about $70-80. Not great but also not horrible to support a vet-owned and reliable business

Brownells carries some RMA plates, too.  And cheaper shipping.

You can get 4% back on Brownells purchases if you sign up and start through ActiveJunky (https://www.activejunky.com/invite/240517). And yes, AJ is a purchase tracker; there is no free lunch.

Plus, Brownells Has discounts that usually pay for shipping or a bit more (depending on how much you are buying). Look here: https://www.ar15.com/forums/industry/Current-Coupon-Codes/333-194866/&page=34

On the subject of armor what color carrier is everyone using? I'm look at 4 billion tons of white bullshit out here and thinking my ranger green ain't a good choice.

I would use some sort of woodland camo one(and do). It’s easier to put over whites over it. Not to mention unless you are in the tundra there is trees around that will still be green/brown/etc in the winter.

That's how I shipped plates from Afghanistan to NC.  Flat rate and registered mail.  Use the long flat medium box.  Registered just APO requirement.
