    as the title says 'Has anyone ever had any problems with ordering airsoft guns abroad online?' and i was also wondering has anyone bought an airsoft gun from ehobbyasia as i was thinking about ordering a gun from there but i was afraid i would not recieve it after paying for it due to customs and it being over the one joule limit. Thanks

    Ehobby will downgrade it below 1 joule for about $20, but even then it can still be held by customs for taxes and sent to the Gardai for testing to confirm it's below 1J:)

    well i sent away for a special item last week.It's my first time doing so though it is not an AEG so there should not be a problem I'll let you know how it turns out.But 20 quid says I'll get screwed over somehow

    Hi, I bought my l85 from ehobby last xmas. It was stopped by customs I was rang and told I had 3 days to prove it was under 1 joule and if not it would be sent to the gards I emailed ehobby and they were very helpful the sent me on a headed letter in an email telling customs that it had been downgraded to 328 fps.. I drove to shannon and gave them this and they released it straight away. They told me the main reason it was stopped Is that the chinese sometimes state the item cost less than you paid so they will have a smaller duty bill. Customs looked my l85 on ehobby up and saw it cost alot more than was on the chinese customs letter.. i sorted this out easily as luckily I had printed off the paypal receipt and was able to prove how much I paid. As long as you get them to downgrade it and supply a letter and keep paypal receipt you will be fine. Also be ready to get hit for 90 odd quid in import tax from customs/UPS for any regular sized AEG, thats on top off the ridiculous delivery charges you pay when ordering the AEG.
