Well that's probably a DBoys so not a bad make or price.

But Iam sure you will get a nasty surprise whe you register and find out what the actual price of postage costs and you will infact get it cheaper and handier if you went into a walk in shop here.

Also that's web sight is based in Poland where the fps levels are allot higher.
Remember in Ireland it must be under 328fps or 1Joule

I believe they are a Dboys aeg. Never had one so can not comment on its reliability.

However, i don't think you'll get a shock at any extra costs from there. Within the EU so no VAT charges. They do provide a downgrade service which from what i remember is not expensive, about €15 if i recall. Postage is not expensive either. Will cost at €14 via courier from them. Considering that is roughly the same as most retailers will charge postage from within Ireland i don't consider it expensive.

When's the last time you ordered something? I went to order a few bits not even a gun just a stock outer barrel and RIS and was quoted €35.57 postage for those three items also they have changed courier service in the last few months

They lowered there prices a month or so ago. It was announced on their facebook page.

To downgrade put a M85 or M90 spring in your shopping cart with the AEG and in the comments section ask them to install it for you so that it is within the limits.

The only way something was €35+ on postage is if your order is over 15 or 20 kg. Their prices go up in weight brackets. But the cheapest price is up to 10kg.

Taiwangun changed their courier service to UPS which is cheaper now. Go on to their home page and scroll down to "cost of delivery".

Last time I ordered a gun from them they downgraded it for free.

I have ordered from them a few times and I would recommend the guys in TaiwanGun to anyone. They are quick to respond to queries, and were willing to fix problems with an AEG I got from them at their expense. If you buy the spring at the time you get the gun they will downgrade for free.

The did change from DPD (reasonable price, but so slow I am sure they sent stuff by donkey cart) to UPS recently and their charges have come down.

There is a flat charge until you get up over a set high weight, so it can be expensive for small things. But you can see the charge applied if you go through the shopping process, and before you actually place the order.

Well I stand corrected they've obviously become more reliable then I previously thought

Is the set weight still 10kg?

Something like that, I bought a load of gear from them and the postage stayed the same.

Updated delivery charges now that they are with UPS:

Actually found one thing that's tad rediculous the €193 USP I can get one posted for that price from airsoftguns.ie

c28omzk7ihsxv0

That's a once off really. It is a KSC though - they are a very good brand, I have one

Oh I know would be holding that match if it weren't for you also you are aware that's upgraded so it isn't standard KSC

CpcRc

It's the full size match version. Airsoftguns.ie have the compact I think.

Ahh now KSC's are pretty good stock too, some even better than tms IMO. Only problem is the stupid hop up unit and rare (and that usually means expensive too) buckings...

THE MINDER

With regards to the OP -it does'nt just look like a dboys-it is a dboys! You can buy that brand through Irish retailers-They are fine as as a starter gun(until you fire something else-no offence to dboys owners!) IMO if you are keen on the sport go rental first and ask other guys you meet on site what they think-you will see lots of different stuff on the field:)

by the way, taiwan gun is very well known on their local market (read: poland), I`ve ordered from them for years and never, ever had any single one issue, as well as a lot of other lads I use to play with.


Its well worth giving them a shout on bigger orders and discuss possibility of lowering the shipping price etc. and negotiate free downgrade (maybe).

As long it will be worth their while (read: order bigger than 1 rifle and pack of bbs) they can be very cooperative, and cheap.

johnmc_carthy

Ordered a few bits off them a while back, got gas pistol, molle plate carrier with dummy armour an a Velcro pistol holster for €80 (and a bag of bbs) will downgrade for free too, def buying my next aeg off them.

Hey guys, does anyone know if stuff bought from Taiwangun is subject to customs inspection?

c28omzk7ihsxv0

Generally not no. And mate, get it downgraded, they do it for free
