    Placed order on the 10th, shipped on the 20th, arrived today the 24th. I used ordinary airmail and there was no hold up with customs. Very happy. I bought in a few bits for two AUGs and another few bits to hold as spares for other repairs. I might have a small problem though. I ordered two Lonex M90 springs which on the website were categorised as General AEG Springs, now that I have them, they are shorter than regular spring and labelled PSG-1 :( Am a bit dismayed. Hopefully their cutomers service will hold up.

    The search is coming up empty so I'll ask.

    Does anyone have experience dealing with http://airsoft.tiger111hk.com?

    Cheers.

    I bought some kit from This Tribe last week. Top class service and great prices.

    www.thistribe.com

    Click here for Trustpilot reviews.

    Every bit as good as Flecktarn and RVOps, often a few pounds cheaper. Good automatic emails, responsive to customer questions, reasonable postage and quick delivery. Excellent all round.

    Bought a couple of bits of kit including a spare mag for my sidearm on the 12th April from gunfire.pl, when the package arrived and I tested the mag the co2 capsule just vented immediately, tried several times with same result. Opened a complaint with gunfire.pl and they requested that I send it back, which I did the following Friday. Currently the 16th of May and still no replacement mag or refund. No replies to emails either. Advice: AVOID gunfire.pl <snip>. Worst retailer experience for quite a while and 32 quid out of pocket! :mad::mad::mad:

    Never forget, the end goal is zero firearms of any type.

  • Registered Users Posts: 17 Aidan!!


    Are there any stores which the boards airsoft community agrees are great for ordering from? I'm interested in a gun but don't know any reputable online stores.

    I just received my boots from AirsoftEire and can agree that their service is excellent. They've answered my questions quickly and when you order from them they give you multiple updates on its status (awaiting payment, received payment, packing, shipped)

    Even though they charged me for the wrong flashlight after I told them they took the time to ring me and apologize and also refunded the money. Quick (and free if you spend a certain amount) delivery as well

    Buying stuff online and then going in to collect is a brilliant service. Online prices without the hassle of delivery.

    Im known by name in there but im not sure if thats good or bad :D .

    Hi,
    I'm new in this game. Can I buy a ASG from outside of Ireland, and send it by post to Ireland?

    HOBBYKING

    Hi all I used hobbyking in the past to get batteries with no issues.

    I wont be using them again , after a long unsatisfactory last order.
    I ordered 2 small Lipos on 17/05/14 ....... they finaly arrived today.

    It seams airlines will no longer ship Lipos on board.Hking customer sevise either didnt know or wouldnt admit it ,I my corispondances with them over the missing items they were useless telling me to wait 45 buisness day and them get back to them at this stage it had been two months , then after another month and another email they said they would open an investigation which would take 60days. the 60day would have been this Wedenesday.

    Maybe there still good with other items but dont get lipos off them.

    Placed order with airsoftbay monday late afternoon. Reveived at 1 o'clock the next day. Fast shipping, was kept up to speed with progress by automatic emails. No issues whatsover, id definitly be dealing with them again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 300 ✭✭Mastercolm


    Just a little heads up. Evike.com looks like a tempting place to buy with low prices and a good reputation off youtube but, I have emailed them over 10 TIMES with the same question on whether they would fit a spring to an aug to make it legal in Ireland. Seems like they don't want Irish costumers.


  • Registered Users Posts: 107 ✭✭ShetlandViking


    Does anyone know what happened to Black Scout Airsoft Supplies? There hasn't been a new post on the Facebook page since April and the website seems to be gone
