EHobby should have them as well. I got the USP Compact metal GBB with a spare mag, both from EHobby. Spare mags are not exactly cheap though. Mine was €30ish

Helmet covers don't fit too well on USPs:p

Mark_Sc · 10-10-2007 4:04pm

Think i should send an email about shipping costs?
or just pay the same as it is for US?

liamo333 · 10-10-2007 4:10pm

Pay the same.

kdouglas · 10-10-2007 4:11pm

Mark_Sc · 10-10-2007 4:16pm

Ok thanks

tonyj_mc · 10-10-2007 9:55pm

another big thumbs up for e-hobby, ordered some small bits and mags on saturday last on my desk waiting for me monday morning,

thmbs up as well for http://search.ebay.ie/_W0QQsassZcentury-digital for radios, got it delivered today after ordering it on saturday with a cheap throat mic,

i know the mic is gonna be crap but the radio looks the buisness, will have to wait til its brother arrives and i read up a bit about it to have a proper opinion on it, will post a review when it does

big thumb down for An Post, neither tracking number would work on their track and trace, despite the package sitting on my desk :mad:

EyesOnly · 10-10-2007 10:43pm

big thumb done for An Post, neither tracking number would work on their track and trace, despite the package sitting on my desk

I had the exact same with my last package and it still doesnt show up.

cpb · 12-10-2007 2:13pm

Big +1 for flecktarn ordered stuff on Wednesday arrived today (friday). Great service.

Cuddlesworth · 12-10-2007 2:19pm

A big thumbs down for Airsoft Scotland/World.

Order delayed close to a month now with no order confirmation, no response from e-mails and a message on their answering machine saying don't bother leaving a message as they won't listen to it. Forums that staff members used to frequent they have been avoiding.

Would advise that you avoid at all costs.

liamo333 · 12-10-2007 3:16pm

AirsoftScotland are really busy ATM. Keep calling them, you will get through to them.

Are you serious ?

liamo333 · 12-10-2007 3:29pm

Yup, They dont say that exactly but they say they get somany calls they dont have the time to reply to all the messages.

I tried ringing, got a message which said don't bother to leave a message. the phone is on a auto divert during the day most of the time, I know because they turn it off at 6. So they don't even want to bother talking to anybody. Which is about as bad as you can get as a retailer. Frankly its not just me, there are tons of other posts on other forums saying the same thing. If you are a retailer and you have too much work, you hire another worker not ignore your customers. Its a sickening way of treating your customers.

Thats why I asked...I get totally stressed out with the volume of emails and phone calls I get sometimes, at ridiculous hours of the night, but at the end of the day, they're calls from customers and you don't ignore them.

Mark_Sc · 12-10-2007 5:20pm

Thanks lads
Bloody thing just went off the shelves!

iceage · 12-10-2007 11:59pm

Very satisfying experience with eBay shop fullvermonty for US Unit Patches. Better quality than it looks, reasonable P&P, quick despatch

Item bought:

Plus, being from Sheffield (UK), gotta love the play-on-words for their biz name (they're based in Sheffield, Vermont, USA).

Stercus Accidit · 15-10-2007 7:14pm

Anyone know where I can get one of these?

Bar wgc shop as I already know of them but is there anywhere else doing this style of scope? Preferably with not that much zoom, 1.5 - 3 maybe.

I'm looking for a cylindrical style carry handle scope for the m4, preferably in metal.

Anyone have one similar or know where I can get one?

cpb · 16-10-2007 2:35pm

Purchased 3 name tapes in woodland digi for €6.75 incl p&p from www.1800nametape.com took 5 days including the weekend to arrive very impressed. Good quality as well, now all I have to do is convince the wife to do a bit of sowing.

liamo333 · 17-10-2007 3:49pm

BIG thumbs down for http://www.rstacticalgear.com/cat_511.cfm orderd some stuff from them on sept 23rd and i got an email the other day saying that it had been sent to the "shipping department"

Mark_Sc · 17-10-2007 3:55pm

But that one makes my ass look big...

Tzetze · 19-10-2007 4:30pm

Quick question for any of you guys who have ordered items through UNCompany.

I paid for an order via paypal approx. 30 hours ago. I realise that with the time differences they wouldn't have had an opportunity to process the order until today (assuming there isn't a huge backlog of orders ahead of mine).

I was expecting some sort of confirmation of payment and tracking number for my order at some stage today. As of yet, I haven't received any email from uncompany.

I know my patience is lacking, and it's early days yet. But should I be expecting an email before receipt of my items, or is it just as likely that the items will turn up at my door without hearing anything from Hong Kong?

(I realise that this has probably been discussed in this thread already, but (almost) 1300 replies is a lot to have to trawl through for an answer.)

liamo333 · 19-10-2007 4:33pm

Did you get an email from paypal?

I did, yes. As soon as I made the payment, I got the following from paypal...
