yea, for $30 they really are quite well built and worth it, trying to make one yourself would probably take longer than it takes to just ship one over

You could replicate it very easily on a lathe in not too much time at all. If only I were still in secondary school! Could have used the CNC in the engineering room.

Ah well, $30 is nothing. How much did they charge for shipping?

liamo333

Around 9us.

Keith in RSOV will get anything you want from WGC and Redwolf at no extra cost. He is very good at repling to emails as well.

The first time I got my order from RSOV and EHobby, I spotted the postie down the village when I was picking up my daughter from school so Ilegged it after him. Found him having lunch in the local garage so asked him if I could have my packages. I think he knew well what was in them as he started to chuckle at me.:D

Mark_Sc

i love that feeling:)

CrazyRabbit

Does anyone know if BFSL is still open? Derek still hasn't got back to me about my order. It's been weeks now.

I'm all for helpig the local retailers, but not if I don't get reasonable service...

Mark_Sc

I hate that feeling:(

padmundo

It took me so long to put it back together I just hung it in my cabinate. Havent had a chance since to do anymore with it but I am thinking it might need a new gear box. It wirrs but nothing comes out. But it does look good.

Spitfire666

Customs tag on the 17.5% for items that are bought from outside the EU. stuff bought in the UK would have VAT included in the price already.

I think....

I checked my old order from Un Company (by old mean two monthsish) and UPS delivered it. They technically picked up the tax tab for me, so at the door I paid them and the charges broke down like this... I paid 21% to the government and then ups charged me 21% vat on that 21% percent to the government as well as a 5 euro handling charge...

Seriously lame...

I was about to order the JG AUG from rsov which came to E75 with 2 mags but then noticed that the shipping was 65....
Does that seem like alot to anyone else?

kdouglas

that's probably about 5kg in weight, so shipping is probably about right...

it's pretty damn fast too, normally 5 working days to get from hong kong, that's not too bad, especially considering itll spend two days of that in ireland

Mark_Sc

hmm shipping on my hfc m92 was only 20 and that weighed about 2.5kg... 40 seemed about right to me.. ah well guess ill have to waitt another monthor two

whufee

got my new order today, from Uncom
but.....
but............
but.........................
fking 21% VAT on top of 500 bucks, 624.6euro in total ........

liamo333

Oh what did ya get?

kdouglas

cursed vat... seems to be no avoiding it these days

Mark_Sc

have many *that place where we can get clones* orders been stung?

kdouglas

sssssh!

not so far i think

o1s1n

Out of paranoia we should probably stop putting up any more VAT information. Well, information about stores which aren't being charged any.

The recent stings are more than likely down to a stricter customs office after it was moved. Still though, you never know. Probably better to err on the side of caution.

Mark_Sc

Get the orders in while its still cheap lads

Captain Chaos

Just wondering who much do Uncompany charge on shipping for and average 3kg AEG to here?

I'm not too worried with the ''after'' costs.

16airassualt

has the different shippihg costs on the website.an aeg should be aroubd 35-45$

Ample Free ...?

I.ve gotten 4 deliveries from UNcompany, 3 AEGs, each with some extras, and a package of mags and batteries, all 4 were in and about $110. Sorry but your going to have to pay for good service and good range of products:p
They're a great company though, at the moment I'm getting an upgraded M14 along with a bipod, when they were upgrading it they noticed I hadn't ordered the adaptor to attach the bipod to the AEG, they simply sent me an email with a quote and a link to the adaptor so it could be added to my order.
They're proffesional and considerate, a nice mix me thinks:D

Do any of the M4s on rsov have metal bodies?
or will i have to go for classic army?

Im sure some of them do but you would be better off with CA anyway.

kdouglas

all the ones i can see on rsov are made by DBoys, paul has some of them at hrta which are plastic but he said that there is another version made by DBoys which is full metal...

CA arent necessarily the best from what i've heard, for the price you pay, apparently their quality control is not great, you could get one and nothing would be wrong, but you could also get a bad one which could cause alot of problems

Edit: just found one on rsov with a metal body here, not bad for £50

Irish Trinity

you do know they do the prices in euro ?
