|
I am trying to gain information on the different places to buy airsoft stuff from. So far I have found out that redwolf seems ok and their shipping time is good, kapowwe is the same but their orders took about two/three days to process, and finaly airsplat who took my order on the 20th and then took a week just to ship it out. I got 2nd day air to get it for the AHAT game but UPS never even has the tracking updated to show its been shipped. I also order a rail for my MP5 from wcg warehouse and they had good time in shipping but it was $20 shipping for a $20 rail. I am trying to formulate an opinion on who has the best shipping to please add on with your own info on these companies or different ones.

I've found Redwolf to be good so far.
I like www.airsoftgi.com too. Every order I've placed with them it's been processed the next day (I order late at night), and if it says 3-day shipping, I get it in 3 days.
I have found that Airsoft Extreme takes a few days to process their orders. I ordered my wood stock for the M-14 on a wednesday with 3-day shipping, but it didn't even ship until saturday.

An update on the airsplat situation, I contacted them and they said they shipped the order the next day and UPS seems to have lost it, so now I get to see how well there customer support works.

I like redwolfairsoft.com. I ordered a medium size order from them on a Sat. night, it was shipped out on Monday morning (0430 hrs), and I received it on Tuesday afternoon (around 1000 hrs). Very fast shipping in my POV. And they also seem to have a lot larger selection of products that I can't seem to find anywhere else.

Before you post next time, know what you are talking about. Check their website and look at the prices. If anything, one would assume that their prices are cheap because it's overseas. It's the shipping that costs a lot of money. You can still get really good deals though because you are not dealing with as many third party companies such as some US stores.
Also, I deleted a post that said they are european. Wrong, they are Hong Kong.

Yeah, or you could go with www.ricksairsoftarmory.com; I would say that their shipping is the cheapest that you are going to get when it comes to a U.S. retailer: $0.00 for shipping when you buy a classic army AEG. I'd say that's pretty good. And his prices arn't too high and all.

www.wgcshop.com all the way. War Games Club has been good to me for years. They have a great selection and the best customer service I've ever received. The number one place IMHO

I've had my stuff here in 3 days. It'll take 5-7 days at the most. I've never had a problem with customs but I claim the full value of the packages and also dont try importing anything I shouldnt.

I like redwolfairsoft, and have issues with how wgcshop.com stocks items; popular items are constantly out of stock/sold out status. If you asked to be put on a mailing list for 'notification' of the items availablity, it is hit or miss with them. To each their own I guess.
www.dentrinity.com however is becoming my new favorite overseas seller. Although their cart system is screwy; place items in the cart, they send you a shipping quote within 48 hours. Usually they ship Hong Kong Post if it is a small item, which arrives via USPS. Bonus on that, Sunday delivery, which I have had happen twice now.
Domestic sellers, you cannot go wrong with www.airsoftextreme.com Extremely knowledgeable staff and good selection on parts/accessories. Second bonus, they fix the f-up's created from local shop's unknowledgable staff, plus call if there are issues or concerns, or to provide status on work.

I like www.airsoftadvantage.com . My M16VN was ordered on a Saturday night and was sent out monday morning. Then it got delayed though, UPS did something. And they have a flat rate of $5 shipping, good if you buy an AEG or other piece of expensive equipment.

I have only had one gun seized by customs, and the store that I went through, (redwolf) shipped a second gun at their cost within 24 hours of my notification that it was seized. (I forwarded them an email from UPS who was the shipper, after the gun was sitting in Alaska for three days)
The only time a gun will get seized is if you order it without covered tm's or orange bbl/flash hider. Redwolf cuts out or colors in the trademarked information on the boxes and manuals, and on the actual gun covers the marks with a thin sheet of plastic which is white glued on, where as most overseas stores and almost all domestics use either a putty or dremmel tool to grind off or cover the trademarks. The only way around this is to order a replacement metal body which is will not be obscured. Go figure.
