That is true, and I still firmly believe some San Marino shops deserve to burn and their owners being hanged from their testicles. Over the years some of my teammates had a number of bad experiences with some of SM shops, including not having a proper return policy, trying to avoid free repairs/replacements still within warranty, and one of them literally got scammed to shit when he paid €300+ for a TM G3 SAS and received a TM cardboard box with a 2nd hand JG g3 inside (no, that ain't bullshit, I was there when the guy received the package and opened it).
Decided to take a leap of faith with Softair Games after reading about Asomodai having received what he ordered in a short time.
Ordered some striker parts + a ETU upgrade kit and it got delivered within 24 hours, everything was in perfect shape.
So yeah, SG is excluded from the "shops that deserve extinction" list. for now.
For all the other stuff I need, I have my trusty Emperion ❤️ which also sends free patches with each order
