So I am trying to put together a target list of sites I am planning to pitch my products to. I have the sites I like to use, but that's a very bad way to structure this project I have going on. So I am asking:

What e-commerce sites do you use to buy firearm accessories?

Thanks!

John

If I’m looking for value:
AIM Surplus
PSA
ArmorAlly
Ar15discounts
Righttobear
Granite Ridge Outfitters

If I’m less concerned w value:
RainierArms
DSG Arms
BCM

If we’re talking small parts for cheap:
Combat Armory
Damage Industries LLC
 
OpticsPlanet.com :D

EDIT: So I can learn, can the folks who are laugh reacting this comment please tell me what's wrong with my recommendation? I've had nothing but good results and great prices with OpticsPlanet, so I don't see what the problem is. Maybe there's something about which I am unaware. I'm willing to learn if there's something to know, provided it can be taught without someone being an ass.

They have a strong reputation for having terrible delivery times and poor CS. Based on my operations knowledge, they do a ton of drop shipping. I don’t think they stock very much. The unrealistic delivery times seem to be related to some flawed (at best) or deceptive (at worst) logic around inventory availability at their suppliers.
I only order from them if I’m ok with a 1mo delivery time of something they claim is “in stock”.

Optics Planet as bad as the rest of them/Optics Planet Sucks

Back in October I ordered a pretty big quantity of 9mm and 380 ammo at a great price with a 4-6 week lead time. I was told at that time my price Was locked in. IIRC the 9mm was around $12 per box and 380 about the same maybe slightly higher. For the next 2-3 months I would get notices that...

I pretty much exclusively buy from Primary Arms lately. They run so many random 10%/12% sales it's ridiculous. Shipping is really good as well.

I'm with everyone else here in hating optics planet.

They sometimes have good prices, and sometimes they have something when no one else does....but then sometimes they just *say* they have it. Heck, sometimes they list stuff that isnt even available anymore, and leave you on "backorder" forever.

Ive gotten stuff from them, but in VERY, VERY careful about it.

Ah okay, thank y'all for bringing me up to speed. :) I was not aware of this reputation, now I am. I can certainly see not wanting to deal with a company that has burned you on product availability before. Thankfully that hasn't happened to me with any of the items I've ordered from them, but I recognize that accurate, honest inventory management is an important part of any retail business model, and if they don't have that, they'd be a no-go.

I like DSG Arms a lot as well, especially for higher end stuff. Their Mil/LE discount isn't a set rate, near as I can tell, but is pretty damned substantial on top shelf/Gucci stuff.
 
Safariland, Tacticalholsters.com (G-Code) and targets from Challenge Targets so far. I make all other purchases local whenever possible. Yes it cost more. Yes it takes more time. If a LGS doesn't have what I am looking for, often times I will ask if they can get it. Having local brick and mortar gun shops is something I am willing to support, and do quite heavily. If I had back all of the money that I could have saved by avoiding LGS's, I could probably be a year ahead in my retirement schedule. We need them. Shop local.
 
In order, in the last couple years, semi regular. There are others but its been a while.
DSG
Primary Arms
Midway
AIM Surplus

Big Tex Ordnance
Primary Arms
Lanbos Armory
