i was ordering adboys and clicked on the rong one.when i checked out i forgot to change it and i was stuck with that

yank_in_eire

Just heard back from the oh-so-helpful folks at UNCompany in response to problem with my last order, namely that the so-called compatible reinforced barrel I ordered in fact does not fit the receiver at all, and that the delta ring is too big for the receiver threads.
Apparently I'm supposed to "use force to get barrel to fit".:eek:
And despite the fact that I can slide the delta ring over the threads without it engaging them at all (a clear sign to me that it's too big but what do I know) they assure me that it does fit. Maybe their crystal ball is on the fritz.
I don't know at this stage if I'd order again from them but will reserve final judgement until the situation is sorted.

Got my quote from Keith on Sunday which was 163stg and included shipping of 56stg and an item for Scope included. I forwarded the funds by Paypal. To day I recived an order shipped conformation and in a seperate email from Keith a note saying he could not supply Scopes item (:( Sorry bud) but the shipping had increased from 56 to 64stg:eek: I have just sent him an email and asked for an explanation. So will wait and see what he says.

Edit: Only problem is it has been sent to the Post Office and is due for shipping tomorrow.

Heard back from Keith as regards. the over charge. Told me that that it was becaus the 5381 was heavier then the 3681 fair enough (was originaly going to ge the 3681) but he over charged me on the weight and cost of the mags. So I mailed him back to see what he is going to do ie refund me the xtra money to paypal or keep it on credit for my next order.

jeeze yank, i am quite suprised by that, i use both them and wgcshop as they normally dont bs at all...i would push for some money off the right one, saying they sold you a pup...

yank_in_eire

Here's the update: They told me to send the parts back and if there were no scratches on them they would send new ones and credit me for the cost of shipping the stuff back to them, which isn't a bad deal, but as I explained to them, fitting the parts was so tight that it scratched the paint on both the receiver and barrel, so I don't know if that will work. I'll keep you all posted on the saga...................

For the last order I had to ask them what the delay was and found out that they had shipped it 2 days previous to my enquiry. I then got a reply with the tracking number. Did you try all their email addresses. If you need them let me know.

boody hell two days, think they might become teh high-end retailer (after Eirsoft of Course). what was the shipping costs like?

Hagakure_irl

Well i was in the shop last Friday, so he had to make a call to get the charges, but i payed:

162 euro for the TM M4 RIS
68 euro for the HFC M190
The shipping and handling service came to: 88 euro.

All in all i think it was good deal!!

tonyj_mc

88 shipping is not bad fo shipping, the prices fror the AEG andpistol are bloody brilliant

Hagakure_irl

Yea i really couldn't get over the prices in their shop, i was telling o1s1n i got 4000 0.20g BBs for 4 Euro :eek:.

Hi Caran,
It all depends on what you order. If its somthing small he will only send like reg post. I got a box of mags from him for my MP5 not so long ago and they were only sent normal air mail without a tracking number. Its only the guns or somthing heavy he will put the tracking number on to save postage costs.

EDIT: Try this email address keithamy@netvigator.com

Just thought I'd mention Redwolf's service team. They are fantastic. I got a Marushin Super Redhawk off them which started leaking gas after 14 shots and they correctly diagnosed the problem from my description in my email and gave me detailed disassembley instructions and instructions on how to fix it. Had it sorted in a jiffy. Thumbs up...

Hagakure_irl

Got myself some camo, helmet, vest etc from ehobby.

Anyone else having trouble getting in contact with Keith from RSOV? I've sent him four emails now over the last couple of weeks asking about a gun and he still hasn't replied.

Is there something going on in China I don't know about? I'm very tempted to just buy it somewhere else.

The Master

Oisin all the emails I've sent kieth in the last
few weeks have still not been anwsered either.
But an order I placed last week has been delivered without delay

o1s1n

Hmmm. That's very strange. See the problem is, the gun I'm trying to order isn't on his site. But he mentioned being able to get anything so I thought I'd give it a go.

Sent me an email about two weeks ago asking for the number of it on Redwolf. I sent it back to him and heard nothing since

Very VERY tempted to just go with ehobby instead.

Shiva

I've been in touch with him a lot over the last week or so, so no issues with getting a response.

He did mention though, thats he's completely snowed under and working 16 hour days for the last few weeks without a break.

[--SC(+)PE--]

he went down the road to wgcshop to get me one of my beretta's , im sure he'll hook ya up 0isin

I'm sure he will in the long run alright.

Just getting quite impatient. My airsoft fix has been a long time coming.

Bah :eek:

Well...if I'm going down....I aint going alone...

Dont think I didnt notice that a couple of days before we all went to Barrage you posted here saying you were 28 years old.
And then in Barrage I overheard you saying you were 29.

Seems like *someone* missed out on a birthday firing squad recently.....

... 29 and still an art student?

something is fishy.

o1s1n

You must have been dreaming! I'm only a young fellah of 23.

But you're right, it was my Birthday on the 23rd...but that was over a week ago.

Don't worry. I made sure to give myself a good bb pepperin'.

CR@P ... happy birthday dude. Remind me to shoot you 23 times for luck.

(cripes 23? I feel old)

23 on the 23rd of July...and on the same day a film comes out called The number 23 which is about the weirdness of the number...23.

I don't even know where to start with how weird that is.


...

Jesus this is off topic

Shiva

Well belated Happy Birthday anyway...I could have sworn you said 28, then 29
(I'll refrain from mentioning that you look that old )

Its all good...it just brings us closer to arranging a firing squad for poster # 2000.

o1s1n

Ah not to worry, it's a nice change. I usually have difficulty convincing people I'm 23.

Damn my youthful good looks

Some of ye might remember me posting about eBay shop chinapetsupply for aimpoint red dots (and other similar items).

Weird thing is, it's no longer a registered eBay user, yet I never saw anything bad in their feedback, which was pretty decent and extensive enough.

Anyhow, as I've just contacted the manufacturer of the red dot (M3000) I bought from them to find out where/how to change the battery (CR2032), I must praise the manufacturer's customer service: 4 hour turn around to my initial query, with step-by-step photographs attached to their reply email, itself phrased in proper English.

So, if you ever wondered who are the chinese guys making all these super-quality replicas of aimpoints, eotechs etc. you see on airsoftnews.eu - Xinde optical factory is the name, visit them here. 3 thumbs up.

My propane adaptor arrived today from airsoft-innovations.com . Only took 6 days, and cost a measly EUR22 incl S&H. Brilliant turnaround (and cheap as chips). o1s1n - you've no mention of these guys on your manufacturer sticky - maybe worth putting them up there..

o1s1n

It's not up there? Thanks for pointing that out, I'll add it now.

I didn't realize it was that cheap...? That's a great deal alright.

o1s1n

It's actually there already...under accessories

ciarancummins

I also received my plastic orange propane adaptor from airsoft inovation in a couple of days, all I need now is a GBB pistol! Very quick turnaround and quite cheap.

Ciaran

o1s1n

Hang on a second.

Plastic and orange? It's brass isn't it? the one I saw was.

Ah it's the new version 5 design! I haven't been keeping up with their products.

I ordered mine on the 22nd July and got it today 31st.
Had no communication apart from my paypal reciept
but it arrived safe and sound.

I had wanted it to be metal! but alas it was not.
Yer man has now some injection mold I think and thing
I read the plastic ones are more durable. But still!!
I dont trust what looks like a plastic bottle top with a gas lighter
refill tip on it.

Its pre assembled so dont think it comes apart.
Dont have propane and dont have a GBB yet
but soon hopefully.

Remember, ciggie lighters hold propane as a liquid and they're all plastic. TBH, the plastic is more likely to withstand duffs and dings - it wont get bent out of shape too easy. And, as it's a one piece construction now, there's no tiny bits to lose. Dont forget, if you lose it or break it, EUR22 will get you a new one in a week (maybe Shiva should order a heap??). I too was expecting the brass yoke, but the plastic adapter is damn solid and looks like it'll last.
