did you have to pay customs ?

SniperSight · 24-03-2009 3:17pm

Never had any problems with them.
Have had to pay customs about half the times I've ordered from them.

aarondignam · 24-03-2009 3:19pm

thanks lads
god i hate customs
its a 200 euro order so ill keep my fingers crossed hopefully it'll be ok

anyone order aegs from there or is there a ban on that now ?

SniperSight · 24-03-2009 3:22pm

There isnt a ban, but you'll find the majority of RSOVs AEGs fire a good bit over the limit and I cant recall whether or not they downgrade.
I generally use them for parts and accessories.

aarondignam · 24-03-2009 3:24pm

so customs would actually test them ?

Well I'd imagine so..... If they get stopped that is. And if they stop a gun over the limit, well I think we know what happens then!! Its not worth the risk.

I'm sure you could ask about downgrades, but in most cases AEGs are in my experience best bought Irish or from WGC(they do do downgrades).

moggser · 24-03-2009 3:44pm

gunner's do downgrades well they try any way lol there parts are good but workmanship is shoddy they charge too depending if its a up-downgrade lol
i mean ya can pay for a upgrade to put better parts in to it and also brings the fps down to our current limit
but they do tend to make a shamles of it at times

Stercus Accidit · 24-03-2009 6:53pm

They are fond of boring holes in things to reduce fps :rolleyes:

Fiach Dubh · 24-03-2009 8:11pm

Or clipping springs like they did with my FNC

It came in legal at least but it was firing at 220-230 fps.

Or when wolfie got the full package done on his AKS74U and it crapped out after a few games, turned out the anti-reversal latch spring had snapped, first time I've ever seen that. Fixed it and then the main spring snapped in two :eek:

Still at least they do downgrade which is more then most asian retailers do.

Stercus Accidit · 24-03-2009 8:22pm

They are very inventive when it comes to being lazy, some lad just sitting in the corner with a drill, waiting to be chucked some poor aeg, probably not even out of its box, he just aims and brrrrrrrrrrrrrrzzzzzzzzzzzwhee and an aeg or gas gun is like a piece of ineficient balistic swiss cheese.

Replacing an air nozzle, ok, I had to patch up a gas system with solder! Thankfully it worked, but sheesh, not only that but foamy spongey ****e glued into the trigger mechanism.

Gunner airsoft, pay for the downgrade, or pay for the downgrade!

Fiach Dubh · 24-03-2009 8:26pm

Gunners have a really wierd setup for their dowgrade options though with only some AEG's having it. They claim it's because they haven't had much success with some AEG types but they, for example, have the Kalash AK74 with the option but not the AKS74 which is the same gun internally. Very strange.

Stercus Accidit · 24-03-2009 8:38pm

Hmm, the kalash ak's are easier than a tm to get the GB out of too.

I'd say its an oversight in implementation on the web site, rather than a rational issue with downgrading.

Given gunners size, I'd say they have quite a few staff, not all of which give a damn or consider the irish market downgrade as important, alot of their gear going to the US I'd imagine.

I will be sure, and advice others to also, make it clear via e-mail you want a downgrade using an ms90, not a drill or other ruinous method.

Have a quick question , ordered from Redwolf yesterday and upon returning to them after paying through Paypal , I recieved an error message saying 'send email to us including your unique order code , email address etc'. So i went to paypal and it said the order was processing and I then went to order history on Redwolf and it said the order was processing.That was ok but I only recieved and email from Paypal for a receipt of the money I sent , but no email from redwolf like I usually do. Would this be due to it being the weekend or what? Has it ever happened to anyone else?.

Its happened to me once or twice....whatever process they use seems to pick up on the error though, and my orders were processed as normal. Probably no harm to drop them a line if you want the peace of mind though.

Go **** yourself u stupid ****, you put a dispute on the full amount and I've already refunded you all but 4.99 as I was waiting on another paypal purchase to go through website. All orders since had being paid through worldpay therefore the 4.99 was temporarily on hold.
Now you can fly up my hole as u'll be waiting as long as it takes
You queer ****

Daz1214 · 06-04-2009 8:14pm

great way to do business

moggser · 06-04-2009 8:17pm

aint it just
only for they are so far away id be down to pay a visit
thats even if they have a place

Daz1214 · 06-04-2009 8:18pm

id be surprised if they make enough with that attitude to be able to pay overheads

moggser · 06-04-2009 8:30pm

the way i figure them now is
if you order something they have your money to pay me back my refund
and if your waiting on your refund younoy gonna get it till someone else buys something

Stercus Accidit · 06-04-2009 8:48pm

A business is only as good as its worst served customer imo.

You can send out an aeg thats been payed for and get money in, and everyone is happy, its when theres a feck up you see how actually good they are.

Ehobby, for example, are grand 90% of the time, but when theres a fault they are a pain in the arse, gunner recently too, but mistakes happen, and e-mails over looked, when ye reply like that, thats where its an attitude problem also.

Feck em.

Sadly, the ridiculous clown car prices they have on their website for TM stuff will still keep pulling people in. They'll keep on stiffing people, knowing that Irish people are rubbish at voting with their feet. Sigh.

Masada · 06-04-2009 10:02pm

ROFL, thats brilliant.

anyone who buys from that eejit after seeing this deserves to be shafted.

As I said in my earlier post, if they send you an order confirmation for anything you order, then you have them. There is a contract in place, and you just have to be willing to file with the small claims court to nail the buggers.

aarondignam · 07-04-2009 2:08am

i was just looking at those prices and how can they be right ?
like is it all legit gear or what ?

moggser · 07-04-2009 9:17am

well they tell you its a wharehouse clear out
you seen what they said to me so i'd stay away from them if i was you
up to you do if ya like the abuse he's good for it lol

Flecktarn · 07-04-2009 11:29am

Back in January I got a Tm mk23 of them bought on the Monday got it on the Wednesday.

Overall the service was good but as you have shown moggser they are cowboys

Stercus Accidit · 07-04-2009 12:52pm

I'm sure the retailers on here know the wholesale price on TM gear, are these guys actually making a profit?

If they are it must be a very small margin.

They are selling dead stock, warehouse clearance items, bankruptcy stock, end of lines. They are probably buying odds & sods at 30% of it's RRP.
Margin may be ok with such stock, but it comes with no warranty. Hence the majority of retailers don't touch it.

tonky · 08-04-2009 5:34am

Probably best to email to confirm item is in stock before paying.
I got two TM MP7A1 from them without a problem, delivery in 48/72 hrs.
Brand new quality Toyko Marui items, perfect.
Granted, when buying clones, a "warranty" is useful.
But at those prices for genuine TM gear, It's hard to resist.
It's up to ppl to decide for themselves.
The guy seems to have a unique approach to customer relations

Fair enough, was meant to be a parody of the reply moggy got, but I obviously missed the mark, sorry Tonky.

TheDoc · 09-04-2009 2:12pm

Tactical Gear Depot, now some apexpro ****e, is a woful shop I'd advise everyone to stay clear off.

I ordered two Eotechs of them a month ago. They arrived in due course, but both of them broken on arrival, I believe one has fixed itself magically but the other is still broken. After 5 e-mails, and waiting 3 weeks, I have received one response from them saying " Sorry for delay our server went down how can I help" and thats it, absolutely no response for them on how to fix the matter.

I'm demanding a refund of them now and they can go ****e if they think I'm sending the Eotechs back at my expense.

i ordered etechs off them when they where tactical gear depot about the same time you did, i found they replyed to e mails the very next day....(i sent a few off to him) he had good english, "Omix_nigo" was the person i was talking to. My eotech seems fine so far...

gerrowadat · 09-04-2009 2:32pm

Since they became apextacpro they went to ****e. Your man omix is a legend, but I think he only does trade now.

Avoid.

sliabh · 09-04-2009 3:55pm

I ordered a vert from apextacpro about 3 weeks ago and it turned up exactly 5 working days later.

You're welcome.

As for the comment regarding the wholesale prices of the Marui gear, some people got amazing deals, especially on the PSG-1, as all of those prices were actually lower than our wholesale prices. No competing with them, fair play to them. :cool:
