Experiences/advice with Airsoft retailers.

deepimpact

Thanks JDR, just looking to pick up a few external accessories of low-ish value.

J.D.R

Oh god, if I can give one piece of advice...

DON'T!!!

I have bought so many accessories of low-ish value, that if I hadn't payed for them, then I would probably have been able to afford a VFC at this stage. It's an addiction.

But, yeah, RSOV are good. just watch for customs

deepimpact

If only I got that advice 2 years ago JDR, I'd have less crap clogging up my room

I'm after an EO-Tech 552 for a project I'm working on, but I'm a bit snowed under by the different "brands."

Just need to know which type would be least problematic before I commit funds as I am aware of lemons for all the clones.

Nothing major - just bought a MAC-10 mag last April ($45 with shipping) and received an empty registered A4 envelope - albeit with a small hole in it.

Long story - but suffice to say I allowed the paypal claim to expire (in good faith like a fool) as ehobby said they would replace it once they got confirmation from the GPO here that the item was missing.
They got that and still nothing - not even communication.

Have done a fair bit of business with them over the last 3 years - mostly through ebay - mostly good experience to be honest and I know there's a load of you out there who think the sun shines outta their asses and that's great.

But I judge a retailer on how they treat and behave with their customers when there's a problem.

Ahhh, I dont give a s hit about the money anymore - but their customer service is so fcuked when you have a problem that it's simply not worth the time and hassle dealing with them.

Not really interested in a debate on the merits of these fukkers either - just my vent...:rolleyes:

Well a big fcukin "FCUK YOU" to Mr eHobbyAsia.

Anyone know what Gunner are like for shipping, communications etc.? Looking to buy a few accessories from them (namely a HBAR kit)
EDIT: Nevermind, I see one of the Irish retailers have it

thermo

does anybody know what redwolf are like for shipping?

tonyj_mc

redwolf are bloody fantastic for shipping, 3-5 days if memorey serves me correct, only problem is pretty much everything will get hit for vat / duty + whatever fee UPS charge (think its ups)

Dread-Lock

I find it takes them a few days to actually get things ready and sent out, but after that its just whatever shipping option you select. Can't really praise them anymore then any of the other decent Chinese retailers. That being said they're not worse so yeah I'd recommend them (Just placed an order with them two days ago).

From my personal experience they usually ship same day or next day. Shipping can be expensive as they seem to only offer courier for payment with PayPal or credit card. They seem to mostly use UPS from my experience but they do use TNT from time to time too. You're also nearly 100% guaranteed to get hit for VAT and an admin fee with couriers.

www.airsofteire.com - fast shipping as always (order Tuesday and its on my door step Wednesday).

I made an order last Sunday and I'm still waiting for them to send it.

Seriously? When will you learn doc?

Dread-Lock

Funnily enough the only retailer I've never had a single problem with in two years of ordering airsoft gear is ebaybanned. In fact not only have I never had a problem but he's gone out of his way more then once to help me.

Harakka

Hadn't ordered anything of ebaybanned in nearly a year after they royally screwed up my last order. When the AABB WA engraved receiver appeared recently had to have one regardless, so took a chance. To my shock they had it shipped in 3 days (and emailed me the correct tracking number) and it arrived 5 days later. Think I got lucky .

When I can walk into a shop here and have readily available magpul treats at not OTT prices ? :P

moggser

i made four orders off the dreaded banned in as many weeks and they went with out a hitch

what i do before making the order is i ask them have they got what it is that i want in stock and when they say yes sir we do i go for it there and then

TheDoc

Usually do the same, this time round got told it was in stock, paid, asked for tracking number, nothing

Then got a mail last week, so dont know what the dealio is like.

I guess you cant complain when its so cheap and free shipping but with so many people getting grand orders, always wonder if they just flag mine to intentionally piss me off after the various rows we have had.

They still owe me a fair few quid aswell the snakey bastards.

Heh, they really must have you on their ****-list with the amount of issues you have when you order.

FWIW, I've never had a problem with ordering from them either, but I've moved away from their cheaper clone stuff ages ago and now original branded gear as I can.

I've ordered stuff from rsov express and I've gotten it pretty swiftly. I'm going to move as many of my small purchases there for convenience.

Do you actually get your items faster with RSOV express?
As the two times I've used it it took the usual 3 days before they sent it off and the 10-14 days to receive it.
The only thing that was faster was the checkout system. And seeing as I've already registered on RSOV its not really that much faster at all.

deepimpact

I was never comparing it to rsov, tbh I use rsov aswell, but I get an extra % discount from rsov express, so I use that more often.

I just don't buy from ebaybanned anymore.

Daz1214

lads, ive ordered a few bits from ehobby and selected the 10-20 day option...are they fairly good at staying within that time?

Oh right my apologizes, I misunderstood you. But the question still stands, do you get items faster with RSOV express? (Just looking for other peoples opinions/experiences).

I was in sgairsoft on saturday. Thought i'd go up and have a poke around.

Wasn't talking for too long but they seemed like nice fellas. Good amount of stock too, which is nice change.

Had lots of reasonably priced tac gear, mostly multi-cam, and optics.
Good amount of spares and the little auxiliaries which can be difficult to get, mesh masks, gloves, elbow/ knee pads etc.

sucre

I know the guys from Airsfot for all, theyre solid, at this stage youll probably have ur stuff, i already got 3 from them!!! enjoy mate!

TheDoc

Well I checked the tracking number this morning to see whats going on with my package. Ordered an angled foregrip about 3-4 weeks ago and nothing.

It says on the HK postal site

"27th of july returned to sender"

I've asked him to just refund my money and I'll buy elsewhere.

Useless shower of dopes.

Forgot to post about good experience with Airsoft-club

Ordered 2 rifle cases last Tuesday, left HK Friday and arrived this Tuesday. Probably the fastest delivery I've got from China so +1

Doc, are you this persistant with everything? Or they really don't like you.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, "treat 'em mean, keep 'em keen" really applies to Ebaybanned's relationship with Doc.
