just wanted to say, i e-mailed Eirsoft the other day, got a reply in no time to my question, for good service

ciarancummins · 20-07-2007 2:34am

Has anyone received an order from rsov-keith, without receiving a tracking number from keith? I got the order confirmation, but my follow up mail bouced back (rsov over-quota). I'm wondering will it arrive any day now, becasue he was not able to send me the tracking number??

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 · 20-07-2007 9:52am

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 · 20-07-2007 10:13am

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

Hagakure_irl · 20-07-2007 12:21pm

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

padmundo · 21-07-2007 3:52pm

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 · 25-07-2007 10:33am

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

o1s1n · 31-07-2007 1:22pm

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 · 31-07-2007 1:26pm

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 · 31-07-2007 1:30pm

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 · 31-07-2007 1:35pm

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--] · 31-07-2007 1:40pm

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.

o1s1n · 31-07-2007 3:07pm

Oh by the way Shiva, firing squad for being post 1000

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 · 31-07-2007 3:16pm

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)

o1s1n · 31-07-2007 3:25pm

Cheers

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 · 31-07-2007 3:42pm

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 · 31-07-2007 3:49pm

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

Damn my youthful good looks

ambro25 · 31-07-2007 4:04pm

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.
