Experiences/advice with Airsoft retailers.

I reckon at this stage customs have it because it was shipped on the 23rd.
So it really should have arrived ages ago.
You'd think they'd let you know though.

have you tried putting your tracking number in to anpost's website

Hey lads,
Anyone ever have problems with Ehobbyasia?!?!
I've heard great things about them but from my experience, not good.
I ordered a Prometheus barrel on the 21st March, said it shipped March 23rd and still havent got it after paying extra for 3-5 day shipping.
I've emailed them 3 times but they only replied to my first one and the reply I could barely understand.
I know it might not be there fault its late but surely they could have better customer service?!
Any tips would be great.
Cheers.

Did you use HK Post?(EMS)

Used TNT and UPS from them before, no issues bar UPS charges:rolleyes:

Thats Speedpost EMS then....they have an issue with airsoft gear and Ireland that I dont think was ever sorted, even though they got plenty of letters explainting/complaining about it. Thats why I paid 35USD to ship my PPK:rolleyes:

moggser

ive got plenty of stuff from the regular post and always get it never any issue
for shiotes and giggles try the royal mail website and see if its there

Well I paid 25 extra for 3-5 day delivery so they better refund me the extra I paid.:mad:
There was no other option on the site for picking a different delivery company other than standard and express?!
I wont be ordering from them again.

Maybe it was sorted out then, I remember around a year ago they began RTSing any airsoft destined for here. Retailers/The IAA will likely know more.

When did it leave HK? An post can have up to 2 days delay for tracking to be listed. I've had stuff in my hand before their site displayed it in the country.

Its saying on the HK post site that it left there on the 23rd.
So it should really have got here a few days ago.

moggser

ah see there on the 23rd it might not of left even tho it says it did and 7 days later its the 30th/31st then with easter holier's bringing us right up to the 7th (tomorro) so i'd imagine it might arrive on the tracking sys by thurs

Your probably right there Moggser. Never thought about the hols.:o
Sure as long as I have it by the weekend I'll be happy enough.
Thanks for the tips people.

NO....no ya dont
bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedin hate anpost in kilbarrack where some of me stuff seems to end up for some reason when im in town
and they have this licker of windows thats there and my gawd he's as thick as four short plank's....need to give him a wolly pop to get him to get me package's

MerryDespot

I second that Moggser. Got home today to find that a parcel of stuff has been sent to my local post office as they could deliver it (surprise surprise) during the day - maybe because I was at work. So - does the postie note which delivery post office it's at? Of course not. Instead I have to ring both Blackrock and Ballsbridge (and maybe Irishtown - I think there's one there too) to figure out which one it's at (as it could be any of them) and then get out of work (in town) on my lunch hour because they are closed by 5:30. I wouldn't get stuff over the net unless I can't get it somewhere here (usually bdu stuff which seems to be tough to find). At least when you shagging pay for something and walk out of a shop with it you don't have to worry that you'll get the run around trying to get your hands on stuff that is yours and already paid for!!!

Barrel came today in one piece from Ehobbyasia.
I think I better call off the dogs.
When I think about it it wasn't too long overdue with Easter hols and that.

..... this lot?

Can't find anything on them on this thread, any feedback appreciated

kebn

Anyone ever dealt with this lot?
http://stores.shop.ebay.ie/sight4us__W0QQ_armrsZ1

They seem to have a good rep (and they're offering free delivery) but just thought I'd double check first, always been a bit wary of ebay.

I've ordered off them before. Had no problems with the order bar Irish customs seizing my scope, but that had nothing to do with seller.

That's a way nicer looking model than the other FTS mount I've seen. Tempting, I only stopped using mine because it fell apart :-/

T.w.a.T.

They're a little on the pricey side when it comes to shipping. Not even RSOV are this bad.

moggser

oh jaysis yeah i found that out the day i posted that just forgot to post back and tell everyone not to bother

slipped me mind like that elusive bar a soap in d block :)

Not strictly an airsoft retailer but still relevant. I recently got an iMax B6 Balance Charger but the supplied cables all had Deans connectors. Rather than change all my batteries/AEGs from Tamiya to Deans I ordered some custom cables from Component-Shop. Prices were very reasonable, communication was excellent and I had my cables in 3 days. I can't recommend them enough.

Anybody have the pmags from pro&t? What's the quality like. Also what's the shipping/communication like?

their communication is great from past experience, they ship fast and they arrive fast. Unfortunatly the pmags are hit and miss with receivers, only fit 2 of my 5 m4 style receivers, some would click into place others wouldnt and some that clicked into place wouldnt feed. In the in end sold them and went for the pts ones which feed perfect in every aeg i have.

tonyj_mc

Markom5a, shipping from pro--t.com is decent enough 5-8 days if i rememeber right, comm is not too bad either. the mags themselves look quite and feed ok once i gave 'em a quick spray of lube, not bad for the price as spicy says as well they fit fine in the masada, one of my g36 (with M4 Mag adapter) and the scar, it won't fit TM SR-16 or the Dboys M4

Markom5a

Ah crap iv a cybergun m4 which I think is a dboys rebrand anybody know if the real pts mags work in it?

How are RSOV Express for delivery times lately? Just picking up a few external accessories for the WE CQB-R.

J.D.R

Fpor me, they usually get to you within 10-15 working days (2 weeks), but I have heard lately many people things are getting stuck by customs
