We do our best at Charleys Surplus to keep our rates low, but we also must keep up with standard carrier rate increases to stay in business. Our rate is for both shipping and handling, and allows us to constantly provide you with the best service in the industry.

No. While our photos are representative of what you will receive, due to the unqiue nature of military surplus we are unable to photograph every single individual product we carry.  The item you receive will be functionally similar to our photo, but there may be slight differences including different markings, years, labels, or accessories.

It never hurts to ask, but unless our listing states details, we cannot guarantee you will receive an item with the specifics you are looking for.  We will do our best within reason to help you out, but due to our high volume of orders we may be unable to accomodate special requests.
