    good retailer, done many orders with them


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 363 ✭✭Mando Commando


    A few of us ordered from them before Christmas, all went well. Good prices on a lot of stuff, got a scope for reasonable money among other things, and it turned out to be a decent bit of gear.

    Their shipping costs are very lowd (DPD). They say that shipping anything up to 30 kg costs 120 zloty (30 euro) and I confirm that as my last order weighed 27 kg :)

    Their prices are great but quality of their products is rather low.

    Dealt with them a few times and they have always been very good. They are very helpful in offering to do modifications, installations or upgrades on gear you are ordering for them, usually for free.

    My last order there was a problem with the gun. I ended up fixing it myself but they replied quickly when I talked to them, and were planning to give me a replacement and refund the delivery costs.

    No complaints and I plan to use them again.

    yes, normally for free if you add the spring to an order, although you will need to email them to confirm

    http://www.taiwangun.com/parts_and_accesories_hand_gun_accesories/external_barrel_for_kjw_replicas_from_g23_series_kjw-2135.html

    Would it be a good idea to get someone ordering a few bits for people and splitting the postage?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 499 ✭✭Beez

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,261 ✭✭✭Puding


    the courier they use is 100% road based so takes a bit of time to get across europe :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 110 ✭✭Marcin B


    No hidden fees. They use DPD and it always takes them 7 days to deliver items.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,919 ✭✭✭1man3letters


    awesome news, do u know what the deal if im not here when they deliver?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 110 ✭✭Marcin B


    They leave a note with a telephone number. You just call them to arrange the pick up.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,638 ✭✭✭F.U.B.A.R


    wait wait wait a second you can order aeg's have them downgraded (If you add correct spring to the order?) and it just arives at your door roughly within a week???? And was customes involved in this at any stage???? :confused:

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 110 ✭✭Marcin B


    Me and my friends bought a total of 8 AEGs from them. All downgraded for the price of spring with written down chrono results. None of the packages were open by customs. And yes it's always around 30 eu for 30kg.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 229 ✭✭mikeyod123


    so even if i buy something tht only weighs 1k ill have to pay 30 postage?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 110 ✭✭Marcin B


    One thing though. When we tried to send two of their guns for repairs they refused to cooperate.

    But in the end fixing them here turned out to be cheaper.

    By the way, they have some APS guns in stock :)

    They use DPD so to price might be lower if it's under 10 kg. Best to ask them yourself.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,638 ✭✭✭F.U.B.A.R


    savage! :D and what are their prices like compared to retailers here?(would check myself but ive been baned from the dongle for running up a rather large bill :O moral of the story is dont use em for youtube and online gaming :rolleyes:)

    I've ordered off them a few times with my friends when I wanted accessories, or recently, a certain AEG. Here are a couple of answers to yer questions based upon my experiences with them.

    They charge shipping at a step basis. Any package weighing 0-10kg costs approx. €35 in shipping. There is no cheaper shipping rate than that to answer your question. The positive thing is that you can get 2-3 AEGs at this weight between yourself and friends and split the shipping so it's only something like €10-15 each. Orders weighing 10-15 or 10-20kg (don't know for sure) cost approx. €40 to ship. €40 was the most I've paid for orders that were 10kg+.

    You must include a note at the paying process that you wish to have the AEG downgraded. The shipping usually takes 5 working days (a week in normal terms) but this is from when they hand the package into the courier in poland so overall wait to arrive aslo depends on how long it takes them to find all your bits and bobs together for the package.
    No customs do not typically get involved because you are ordering from a country that is within europe and not from outside it like with China or America are. Part of being in the european union affects trading between countries I think (junior cert business was a long time ago so don't press me on the details,haha tongue.gif).

    Now to anyone who is thinking of ordering from them and getting the AEG downgraded, as far as I know they do not have M90 springs (the one you'll need for Irish limits) in stock at the moment. A M100 or higher (the number after the M denotes the approx. speed it can project a .2g BB before taking other components in the AEG into consideration to give the final speed it will achieve) will most likely push your AEG over 1J and hence make it an illegal firearm under Irish law. The strongest spring under a M90 they have is a M85, which is pretty useless and will leave your AEG very weak.

    This leaves you with another option. You ask them to remove the original spring which puts it over 328 fps from the AEG and buy a M90 spring in Ireland and get a retailer or Tech to install it for you or you can do it yourself if you know how to work on an AEG. After this you should have an AEG which is within the Irish legal limit of 1Joule(less than 328fps or 100m/s with a .2g BB)

    Also, just because it's lower than 328fps or 100m/s with a heavier BB than .2g does not mean that it is within the 1 Joule limit. 1 Joule is calculated using the speed and weight of the BB.

    Usually it's around 25% cheaper. I go there mainly for BBs. Their own brand is called P&J and a bag of 4000 .2 cost just 5 euro. So far we bought over 20 bags of that stuff and never had any issues with them.

    True, they do the 25kg boxes or something don't they for about €130-150? Haven't bought BBs off them but my friend got a few and he's had no issues with them either.

    They do but only 0.20g. It's 138 eu for 25 kg. The description says it's 122 700 BBs :)
