Search Tips & Tricks

We know how frustrating it can be to relentlessly search for the item you are after, and nothing shows up in the search results. Did you know, most of the time, we have the item you are looking for in stock, but our (not so smart) search bar does not show it to you!

Here are a few tips and tricks to help you navigate our site, and find the products you are looking for:

1. Search By Brands. A simple way to find your items, is to search for it by its brand. You can find our brands page HERE. You can also find the brand page of a product by clicking the brand name under the product title. Once you find the brand you're looking for, you can easily scroll through all the items we carry from that brand, and filter by options such as price and category using our filtering tool, and can sort by best-selling etc using our sort feature.

2. Search By UPC. A simple google search of the product you are looking for, and you will be able to find that product's UPC (Universal Product Code). Put the UPC into the search bar, and it should show you the result you are looking for 99% of the time.

3. Search By SKU. A simple google search of the product you are looking for, and you will be able to find that product's SKU (Stock Keeping Unit). Put the SKU into the search bar, and it should show you the result you are looking for 99% of the time.

4. Search By Category + Brand. Find the category your item would be in, example: Ammunition > Handgun Ammunition > 9mm. Click the category, and use the filter option to filter by brand. You can also sort these results by best-selling, A-Z, featured etc.

If you do not find the items you are looking for after using these tips, you can always email us at admin@tacticalsurplususa.com and we will help you find the items you are looking for, or see if we can source them for you.
