Galaxy Army Navy

Almost everything here is beige, brown, green, camouflage printed, more beige and gray. Find combat boots, aviator style jackets, winter hats, ski masks and the biggest backpacks ever at Galaxy Army & Navy. I wouldn’t call this place a bargain but it serves it’s purpose. You’ll find some canvas sneakers and belts here too. All the items in this store are sturdy, built to last.

Ordered 4 pairs of bdu cargo pants. great quality and great service. easy buying on the website and fast shipping… thank you — usmc vet

The guys were helpful and polite, they allowed me to bring my bike in the shop while I was trying on boots. They also gave me a discount off the price when offered cash.

Just Terrible ! I wish I would have read these reviews before I purchased from this online store ughhh. I ordered a Black — Military GI Style V-​Neck Sweater (Acrylic) in size 4XL. The item was not timley to arrive and don’t bother calling the customer service phone number you might as well be dialing an Ex that you left at the altar in front of a thousand people. (they’ll never answer or return your call)
Needless to say the item finally arrived and it was WAY too small and made of cheap material. I previously ordered the same item in a 2X from other company and they didn”t have any larger sizes so we choose to purchase the item from this merchant. Big mistake
The 2X was a bit snug so we figured the 4X would fit great. This item definitely had to be mismarked because it fit about the same as the 2X. Such a waste of time.
The 20% restocking fee and their deduction for shipping is ridiculous! Seriously what on earth is 20% needed for it? And then to deduct the intial shipping costs and not return anything to customer is bad business.
My total cost was $ 50.94 plus the $ 5.95 to ship the item back to them = $ 56.89
And I received back $ 35.99
Never again !

I bought a «military» web belt online and I got a poor quality cotton belt with a flimsy buckle. I’ve had quite a few web belts, mostly from the US Navy, with solid brass buckles and I was very disappointed with their inventory. I promptly returned the belt and they charged me a 20% restocking fee. The belt didn’t even come in any packaging. The other items they carry can be had for more reasonable prices at other stores.

They sold me a horrible item so I took back and explained that its dangerous to use and I don’t feel safe using it but he acted like a mean old man and said too bad and didn’t let me return it! Do not go here! They rip you off and don’t care. Bad business for sure. Oh not to mention the other worker said he would need to get the owner but after I asked him he just stood around. this place is horrible business!

As prior-​service military, I would recommend Galaxy for your military surplus needs. They have well stocked authentic government issued uniforms and equipment at a fair price considering it’s Manhattan. This is one of the better military surplus stores in NY because they don’t have regular fashion clothing. The owner is knowledgeable although the staff may seem a bit unfriendly but still helpful. I’ll definitely come back for more gear

For an army surplus shop, this store is clean and organized. The guys are cool, and are helpful with finding you the right size, color, etc. We’ve only shopped in the store (not online) and would recommend it. And in NYC, there are things you can do with cash that you can’t do with a credit card.

I felt pretty badass while shopping in this store, I was pretending to be GI Jane. Wait a second, who am I kidding?
I was trying to buy some supplies for an upcoming trip and found this store to be very helpful. They are filled to the brim with military stuff and it is mad chaos. But it seems like all the workers in the store knew how to maneuver through the chaos. Cool, there is order in entropy!
You’ll find all sorts of camouflage items, including pants, thermals, jackets, vests, skirts, blazers, socks, underwear. The mostly only have men’s wear, so I wasn’t able to get any clothing here. They also have all sorts of hats, socks, bags here.
I did manage to buy a pair of «jungle boots.» They only have men’s sizes but if you tell them your size, they will find you an equivalent male size. All the workers here were helpful, but just remember, it is a male dominated kind of store, so they were a bit curious as to why I was there.
In any case, the jungle boots worked out well. I was also able to get a pair of desert goggles here also.
Also, their return policy is exchange only. This place is a nice find, given the location. A bit pricier that Uncle Sam’s on W 8^th, but a good place for military stuff.

I had asked them at the store for size 13 but they brought me size 12. The bigs were tough and I thought they fit, but I didn’t want to push down on the toe in order to fully test it out. Well, turns out I needed to bring it back. Early in the morning while still wearing the boots for the first day I returned to this store. They had a note on the window saying they weren’t going to be there. Online it said they were opened. Next time I came back they complained that the boots were (slightly) worn. He asked me for $ 40 to make up the difference. I looked up this place and it has 16 negative reviews and a BBB rating of F, and they haggle. They always ask for cash, they don’t have price tags. By far the shadiest establishment I know in NYC.

We are going to an 80’s themed costume party and decided to get dressed up as characters from M*A*S*H — so of course we needed an olive green jeep cap for Radar. I waited too long to get the ones I saw on eBay but found out that Galaxy Army & Navy not only sells through the auction site but they have a store in Manhattan. Unfortunately, when in Manhattan I am usually in my car. .. I did not want to have to pay an arm and a leg to put the car in the lot for a $ 6 hat. I called first to make sure they had what we needed and then again while parked by a hydrant a few doors down. The gentleman had me pull around to the loading area where he brought out the hat, made sure it was correct and then he came back out with my change. I hope to visit them on a day when I can take the train into midtown to check out the whole place but I wanted to share that my experience was awesome and I am thankfull for the help I received. Now our costumes are complete!

The store is packed with great stuff. I went on a Friday afternoon because I was looking for a bandanna for an upcoming party. I found them online but knew there was no way I could order it in time for the party so I ventured downtown. The store was a little overwhelming seemingly over-​packing the shelves with everything they could possibly find. With a little help from an associate I found the bandannas and dug through for the ones I wanted. The associates were nice and the owner I think was behind the counter too. My friend found a mother load of firefighter suspenders in every color so he was in his glory. I also picked up a khaki shirt I didn’t think I needed but couldn’t possibly leave without.
I would go back.
