how long was you waiting for your stuff or what happind with you?
thats the first thing ya do if ya not getting any joy from them aint it dispute it with paypal

Turncoat

I had cancelled my battery order and asked them to deduct a cancellation fee if required. The guy agreed and said that I'd get my refund by the next day. I waited about twenty days but didn't hear anything from them despite a reminder email. So I sent him another email with the paypal dispute warning. I received my refund the next day but the guy didn't even have the courtsey of explaining the cause or apologising for the delay.

oh i see twenty days is a bit much alright
why did you cancell the order in first place?

Turncoat

I didn't want the battery because I had sold the AEG. The question wasn't about twenty twenty days, it was about not receiving any feedback. I thought they had scammed me.

sorry Shrad i ment twenty days was way to long with out cantact and that
did they deduct the fee in the end?

Turncoat

No, they didn't deduct any fee. They seem alright but you should have seen their prices last year. When I was getting into airsoft I swear I saw a TM Deagle for 260 or 275 on their website. Lucky for me I bumped into airsoft IRC and found other retailers who stocked the same thing but at much resonable prices.

Ordered a second Tokyo Marui MP7A1 @ 138 Euro.
EMail enquiry answered in 30 mins today. DHL tracking number received ok.
I don't know what these guys were like in the past. They are doing the business now and doing it right. Prices for genuine TM stuff are unbeatable.

There are loads of reviews on the web, It's a Toyko Marui.:). I just got this as I always wanted one since I first handled them. Very close to the real deal, balance & quality is excellent, should be perfect for cqb.
Here's a review: http://www.planetairsoft.net/reviews/review-tm-mp7.htm
There are extended magazines available in MAG multipacks.
Just have to find a retailer to get 'em in.

Firesupport.co.uk seem to have the 50 round (£32) and 100 round (£50) multipacks. The manufacturer is Star.

How are they as a mag maker?

I am very tempted to get the MP7 myself. I like the look of the MP5, but hey, it's a 40 year old design! :-)

hoplite

Rub it in why dont ya

Still I wanted an AK and an MP7 so I am satisfied. Whats the PSG1 like taking it out skirmishing yet?

Compton

I like it, it's a bit on the loud side, but I can live with it, it has a blowback thingy on the side. Really good scope with it, overall, it's well worth the 260 quid i paid, but tbh if it was 500 i don't think i would have been so happy!

tonyj_mc

Just had a look there Shipping was $12.00 Bear in mind as well that mask is not exactly the smallest item in the world, it was fairly bulk

Pretty decent, might order that p99 next see how that comes out

Whats the story with postage of guns from ehobby? dont they use ems?

Tony, if you're going to go for a P99, pay the little extra for a Maruzen.

We stopped selling the KWC brand because about 70% of them came back to us with broken slides. Even on HFC 134a, they arent reliable.

Richie broke a monitor here in the shop when he dry fired a KWC P99 and the back of the slide exploded .

Yeah avoid them things at all costs, i fired one as tony said, and the whole metal cylinder shot out the back, skinned my face and smashed Tonys monitor.,lol

moggser

tonyj_mc

Thanks for the warning lads, will take the advice i'll hold off for a while at $65 i can justify an impulse buy, any more and i'd rather a p90

TheDoc

Another great purchase and service from eHobbyasia

Purchased 10 star/magpul pmags on Friday or Thursday,

Arrived at my door this morning, thats seriously good delivery time.

For the extra 9 dollars, the express shipping is well worth it.

+1 for Ehobby Asia

As an update to this earlier post. I ordered the 5 pack of Star MP7 mags from Firesupport. Delivery was quick. Unfortunately when I checked the mags 2 of the 5 have no follower/spring. Firesupport have been pretty good though. Once I send on photos of the two wonky mags they are happy to send me out 2 replacements.

I can't really complain about that level of service.

The MP7 from the boys in Cork is the business as well.

Just want to give a big recommendation to Soldier of Fortune.

Great gear, costumer service, selection and what to me seems like decent prices for WW2/period stuff.

Yeah ordered from them before.
Posted out the order very quick, and had it
within a few days.

Need to buy a metal Pistol slide
from them but its alway out of stock and am alway tempted by their cheap price of the FAL's

Think I payed about 70 Euros shipping fees for an aeg,
and at the time it was 70 Euros shipping even if
it was a spring or slide, not sure whats postage is like nowadays.

The Website is best viewed using internet explorer
it does not seem to like other browsers.

Also stuff thats out of stock seems to be always out of stock.

There is an interesting section at the checkout which I
wont go into any details about as it would break the
boards charter.
