Best Chinese retailer for WA M4

Just wondering what peoples opinions of Redwolf vs wgc in regard aftersales service as i dont want to be stuck with a borked blowback m4.

If it were me I'd get an Irish retailer to import it.

No offence, but if i wanted to buy it from an Irish retailer i wouldnt have posted a thread.

well i dont know about the aeg but i will say i have bought off wgc and redwolf recently, both quite a few times. in every single case i was charged customs from redwolf...even items that i would have expected they would have let pass due to the amount. add to the the courier adding their bit on top, it adds up.

from technical knowledge i have had great help from both of them.

i will still buy off redwolf but i think i will be switching to wgc again for larger items.

i also am currently buying an aeg for the vietnam event, a g&p aeg as it happens....comparing prices wgc does appear to be cheaper...however on your item i think they are all pretty much on par pricewise.


i have moved away from uncompany basically because they never seem to have what i want in stock.

hope that helps...

I've been charged customs on anything I've bought from either WGC or Redwolf, which has been a lot. Everything from rifles and pistols to hop units and gearbox parts. I've taken to doing it as a last resort now. It's become a heck of a lot easier and cheaper to source items in either Ireland or the UK now. Also, it means no unexpected funny business with shipping or cod charges along with a heck of a lot quicker delivery times. Last item I got from WGC, I was waiting on it for 2 weeks, then a further week for it to deliver from the dispatch centre because I wasn't in when the courier arrived and he didn't bother to call.

For the wa m4 gbb i would go with red wolf, i;ve had some good customer service from them of late, wgc have taken to making you pay via bank trans at the moment with guarantee where as redwolf still take paypal and guarantee you the parcel.

Everyone always chim get Irish get Irish we sorry but some stuff you can not get , the only wa m4 i came across in the uk was 500pounds almost a 100% mark up at the time, that could have changed by know thought, Irish does have its down sides, and not everyone has a problem with buying aboard i've brought 1000s of euros of gear with very little problems, there 2 sides to everything.

I agree, I've spent an ungodly amount of money with WGC and Redwolf in the past. I've always found the charges to be a pain, along with some of the hassle you get with courier services. If EMS were still shipping airsoft parts, I'd recommend Redwolf straight away. It's the courier system that puts me off overseas orders lately.

couriers can be a pain, but i think it depends very much on the driver, all the drivers in my area kinda know me know, they delivery parcels to work without me even having to ask, will always check there for me and i;ve never had an issue, if your in a different area with different drivers i know i can be harder and more of a headache.

to be fair i always budget for paying customs ,around 25%. if i dont have to pay then its a brucie bonus.

Followed by me wishing i'd ordered more stuff :mad:
