This summer will be a busy one for Service of Supply. We’re going to all sorts of crazy places, and so periodically we’ll be out of the shop for a few days at a time. We are still going to make the attempt to ship orders at least twice a week, and when we’re in the shop we’ll ship daily. Do be prepared to wait a few days for your order to go out. I’ll try my best to update this thread with information about any delays. You can count on the order being processed and going out, just can’t count on next-day shipping… Thanks for understanding. If you do have questions about when an order will ship, feel free to text.
An update July 15, 2025- We’re still looking at occasional delays, but the big trips are past! Now it’s just the 2-3 day adventures away from the shop, usually connected to weekends, so shipping might be delayed a couple of days than our normal “next day out the door” efforts. I hope you understand. Now this is the final year for me in public education- I’ll retire after next school year and dedicate at least another 4 years to Service of Supply. I have 30+ years of a military collection to send off to the next historian out there. So if you are reading this, you probably are a budding or serious collector of WWII memorabilia, so if you have not book-marked SOS please do it. We’ll start featuring some great items that’s I’ve had for decades, some very rare items too. Funny how time flies. I remember buying WWII leggings for a dollar a pair at Ed’s Surplus in Lynnwood, Washington when I was still a teenager. How would you like that? “Oh look, a helmet liner (khaki webbing of course) for $5” -Too rich for my blood back then. These days it’s a miracle to find an original mess pan at the Goodwill at all, let alone finding those three times a week for two bucks in the 90’s and early 2000s. I once bought a fixed bale pot for $3 at the Goodwill in Yakima, Washington. Yep, those were the days. So in the next 5 years that same fixed bale pot (with new paint and repro chin strap) is going to be on my site for at least $150. And that’s a great deal! Right??
