Yep I have used them, their site is flakey and sometimes the paypal order does not get processed by their system. The first order i got from them went out nice and quick. The second order took ages and there was no communication at all. I went as far as raising a dispute on paypal with them and then my shipment arrived out of the blue.

I'd say you will get the gear but they are not good at communicating.

cheers mate,i'll give them a bit longer to see whats going on.

Got my aks 74 u on thursday from gunnerairsoft.Full metal but the grip is made from the cheapest plastic ever!Order took long but concidering the gun was only back in stock last thursday its not that bad.only had to pay 29EUR on taxes because gunner did not include shipping charges on the package.

UNCO seem to be up to there eyes lately, very slow with dispatching orders, and even slower replying to e-mails if your lucky to get one.
Maybe they could do with taking on a few extra hands, even just to respond to e-mails.
The best test is to send tech queries to the main HK Dealers ie WGC, Red Wolf, Den Trinity and UNCO and see how long it takes to get a response.
Best wishes.

I reccomend TNT as a means of posting your airsoft gear.
Only took 2 days from Hong Kong to my doorstep with a very useful tracker on the website.
Plus there were no nasty hidden charges unlike UPS

Whenever I've had anything stopped by customs (not AEGs though) I received a letter by post telling me how much I had to pay and giving 2 weeks to pay it. You pay the bill and they send it on.

Seems like there's a couple of ways they do us, I'd a parcel shipped from the
USA arrive this morning via USPS, postie delivered it to the door and showed
me the Customs invoice (parcel had sat in Portlaoise since last Friday).
I paid the postie cash and he handed me the parcel, I had thought he'd just give me
the Customs bill and I'd have to go to sorting office to pay and collect.

RC car fanatic

tanks for the info but it was released after two days and there's €19.91 customs charge on it (the whole package cost about €190 ).Does that work out about right?

What courier do redwolf airsoft use?

Beast ASI

A variety really, changes quite a bit.

Usually EMS though.

scotBlue

I ordered a g3 off gunner, all together about €100, expecting it this or next week. Will I be charged extra by the postman?

Puding

could have too, the max you should pay is 25 -30 euros

Its coming from Hong Kong, how fast do you expect it?
Anything I order from there generally takes 2 -3 weeks to arrive once its shipped and you've given them 6 business days so far

Masada

if its a registered package from ehobby they usually come in less than a week., but with the paddys day holidays and the increased number of deliveries for the postie it could be held up. ,should be with ya in a few days.,

Stercus Accidit

Redwolf sorted me out as I double payed them via paypal, paypal wernt much help.

Redwolf service is quite helpful, to me they seemed more willing to help than any issue I've had with ehobby, saying that redwolf are very busy so expect a days delay in replies.


Also

Dealextreme, though not really airsoft, are quite good, I think bullets mentioned them before, but anyway, got a great 7W torch and mounts for the m4, and batteries and charger, have to say, great value and shipping, free and not that slow at all.

Got ACU from ebaybanned fro $59 and some nametapes/rankslides/dogtags/unit patches from 1800nametape.com for $25, all including shipping.
The ACU is great quality, ripstop type, and is a very close match to real ACU (using visible light anyway)

I also got a Mich 2002 replica from ebaybanned. The chinstrap sits halfway up my right jaw, after fiddling with it over a few hours. I need to take out the straps and manufacture some new ones so I can have a fully fitting chin strap. good quality helmet though.

I've had to pay VAT and duty on perhaps half of what I've ordered from them.

Pending customs inspection on my kart EBR from RSOV looks like theirs a bill on its way fu*king customs :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Puding

howdie folks

im a complete newcomer to this forum, but ive a huge interest in firearms, replicas etc, just a weird hobby of mine.

Just wondering is there places around dublin to look at airsoft weapons etc?

and what price are we talking

im a big ebay customer and the products on there are ridiculously cheap for what im looking for, its not competitive play etc its more a collection

but they dont ship to ireland

examples would be pistols from 5€ and rifles from 20€

i have heard of irish colectors paying in the hundreds, for what i see on ebay for nothing

is this true?
are you guys paying big bucks for your equipment?

cheers
