I ordered some plates towards the end of March - I emailed them twice asking for updates, and have not received any kind of response yet. YMMV.

Just got my shipping notification today for the plates.

As for plate carrier, what kind of PC are you looking for? What role do you see yourself playing in the game? Do you prefer to roll light or heavy? I don't know that I would recommend one of their generic plate carriers (looks like Condor), the Banshee gets pretty good reviews and provides good value.

 I decided to purchase the AWS operators choice. I found the AR500 is for sure a Condor rebrand,but will still be purchasing armor from them in the future. I'd love to here your thoughts on the plates when you receive them.

I seriously doubt they are a re-brand as all their gear is logo'ed with their company logo on it and it's a lot more costly than condor. THeir PC's seem nice but I haven't bought one yet. I did buy a set of their plates and they are pretty nice for the cost. I'd have no reason to suspect them to be up to something shady like rebranding.
