I am local to them.

I just ordered some soft armor and opted for pick up vs delivery.

It is supposed to be in stock and I can pick it up in 1-3 days. I would think tomorrow would be enough.

No walk ins due to covid. Appointments only.

Assuming I get "permission" to come get my items I will ask them about the delays and see what they say.

Not that they would let me.

Hello Midwest Armor,

How was your weekend?

Any update on the good news you mentioned two weeks ago?

I have an email from the 12th saying they would ship in a day or two.  No update.  

Maybe before the 2024 election.

I sent an email 28OCT2020 to follow-up, and received a reply stating:

Team is currently shipping and we are expecting to get everything out by end of day Monday, and tracking as well, here so everyone has their plates next week!

This is the only time I've seen a specific date mentioned, so hopefully that means they have a plan of operations to get these moved.

No new update even though I was told I would get a shipped update by last Friday.

Edit 11/01 got a email saying my order changed to preparing for shipment.

I picked mine up in person this morning. Spoke with Chuck. Nice guy. I asked about Andrea and Aneta since I dealt with them via email. He said they are in the DC office so I didn't get to connect a name to a face with them. For the record I got soft armor from them not plates. I verified that they had what I wanted in stock before I ordered. I just didn't get over there until today.

I asked about the topic of this thread and he said they have some stuff going out today and tomorrow but I don't want to speculate to whom if anyone on here. I can't remember exactly what plates he said and I don't want to start any drama by misquoting him. I would just say stay positive and hope yours come soon. He did say that if anyone has lost faith they can get their money back, but when plates come in and you change your mind and want back in you go to the back of the line. Is what it is.

My March 20th order that switched to "Preparing for Shipment" status on October 20th is still in the "Preparing for Shipment" status.

My June 4th order switched to “Preparing for Shipment” status last night.

Long time preparing for shipment on the March order...

Just received a email saying that my order was getting prepared to ship.

Also received a response to my last inquiry and they stated they were swamped and it would be 2 days to ship.


Well the 2s are getting less and less.

2 months
2 weeks
Now 2 days

Got this email.

Hello Treebush,

Apologies on delay response to this ticket, system auto assigned these to wrong queue for some reason.  I also saw you called and will give you a ring tomorrow.

Yes and we are working overtime trying to get all these out here within the next 2 days, your order included of course!  It will be a 1 day ship over to you.

Appreciate the order and patience; stay safe and will chat tomorrow.

March 20th Order - "Preparing for Shipment" notice on October 20th - shipped on November 4th.
June 4th Order - "Preparing for Shipment" notice on November 1st - shipped on November 4th.

Looks like they may be merging peoples orders if they placed multiple.

Definitely. There are no logos on the front and the label says L210 (Made by Hesco for Midwest) opposed to STX.

I’ll have to say the L210 plate is a massive improvement over a 4401. It’s feels 1/3 of the weight and 1/2 the thickness. If they made a L210 multi curve it would be ceramic perfection. Lol

Very happy with this. Would buy a second pare if L210s without question.

The Venture STX (Tencate CR2000) is pretty much exactly that. I think I’ll still have a coupon for a pretty good price on them if anyone wants some.

Nice plate but at current price of $499 I’ll hold off for now. I’m sure they are worth every penny but I have spent far more on armor in the last 6months than I should.
