Unfortunately the only one who's paid for them is me!:mad:

We'll be sure to keep an eye out for them if they wander down to cork , either being offered to the shop or indeed the site.

Private Snafu

Unbelievable man:mad:, which shop were they destined for?

Will keep an eye out around tallaght anyway

Moromaster

We'll keep on eye out for these to see if they are been offered for sale on site;);) which part of the country did they disappear in?

Stercus Accidit

Yeah, if all retailers and sites keep an eye out for a boot load of g&g's for sale we'll be doing well.


Hate to hear that mate, were they insured?

Rhinocharge

We'll keep a look out down the South East.
Has the delivery been reported as stolen to the authorities?
If I were you I'd speak to the courier company regarding insurance, not perfect I know, but it will take the sting out of the loss.

Goes without saying adverts is being watched (as always). If anyone spots somethign that is otherwise missed, don't hesitate to PM the moderators directly. Don't go posting on the thread challenging if suspected of stolen goods.

Supplier has told us to do nothing.We should be covered we reckon.So no financial loss.
I'm just annoyed cause its top gear and'll take a couple of weeks to get more!

Stone.cold

we will keep our eyes open down here for ya richard if we see anything you will be the first to know

Sorry to hear about the misfortune.

However I would suggest ( since i've seen similar situation hamper honest people and give them grief)

Those rifles are THE most common rifles that are sold and used from the G&G range in this country. So people should have caution before they launch into someone with questioning, cause I know if someone started giving me guff they'd get a quick **** off.

How exactly does a delivery get stolen?

Also you have a very low post count, what connection do you have to the retailer that lost them?

Also I'm only aware of like 2-3 retailers that stock G&G.

I dont mean to be inquisitive, but the last time someone posted up about having their kit nicked, I witnessed a young lad get harassed at a site by some older gents, with good intentions, but were trying to be a cheap copy of gestapo and that young lad had a very bad introduction to airsoft.

Having some more details might help the situation...


EDIT:

Had a quick look your hobbyairsoft. Sorry to hear, that puts my mind at ease anyway, sorry I was slow on the uptake.

However it still stands that people need to be careful when trying to be a dirty harry around the place. There is easily over 150 units of the plastica series out there since christmas.

Tommyboy71

That sucks Richard. Will keep the eyes and ears open for you.

Some valid points.The last thing i want to do is cause that.However i am the retailer!
Still, maybe better to lock this thread and just collect the insurance.Really dont want what your saying to happen.

Still I would hate to see people getting away with stealing from this fairly small community. But you're probably right.

Mervenut

They are most likely to end up in car boot sale/market type places, let's all keep an eye out and let rica know if you see anything that might look dodgey!

Smokerkl

Dont want to sound dumb but how the f**k does a shipment that size "go missing"? Surely they send by recorded post ie courier who have reciets and tracking and signatures and ****?? Surely tour not saying they were simply lost in the post??? I mean obviously if any of it goes up for sale in local markets car boot sales or the like ill be onto them and let you know I just cant understand how these can simple get nicked???

defenderdude

That's a sh1t one Ricka. Sorry to hear it.

Regarding being offered the kit for sale - we all know the legit sellers/players but if anyone's uneasy asking history - it's easy ask for a place of purchase or to see a receipt for a gun (you will know by the reaction if the seller has something to hide...).
Why should someone have a problem if asked properly and respectfully...
Jeees, when I see some of the questions being asked about relatively insignificant items offered here - asking the history of a €300 gun shouldnt be an issue but I agree there is a possibility to offend, but a degree of common sense needs to be applied.

Like everyone else, I certainly will keep my eyes and ears open.

I'm not sure but, by any chance does this stuff have unique serial numbers?

GoTac

Sorry to here about that richard we will keep our ears to the ground.

zero19

Thats a pain, i'll keep my ears and eyes open

lochdara
