    Best place to tm ngrs upgraded

    It's got to be Sam at Kingdom of Airsoft in my opinion. Much like Enid_Puceflange I'm local to KoA, but I go to Sam because the quality of the work and his dedication to all things Airsoft are absolutely second to none. I've had many builds done by him over the years and I wouldn't trust...

    New Load Out

    At the end of the day it's your opinion that matters. For what it's worth, I think they're bloody gorgeous (as someone who usually values realism in his RIFs, I never thought of find myself typing that). 😁

    Rare Arms Servicing

    Hi Stu, Try Sam at Kingdom of Airsoft in Dundee. https://www.kingdomofairsoft.com/ https://www.facebook.com/share/196xKYi6cS/ IMHO, he's the best tech in the UK (and even further afield) and has a very loyal customer base. I deal with him in person, but most of his customers ship their RIFs to...

    Weekend Warrior Airsoft - Anyone Ordered From Here Recently?

    Hi all, Considering ordering some bits from Weekend Warrior, but I'm wondering if anyone has recently ordered from them.  There's a couple of things that seem a little off... Their website URL is 'WeekendWarriorsAirsoft' not 'WeekendWarriorAirsoft', and their logo and copyright info is...

    Sending RIFs within the UK - My Experiences

    I've seen a few threads regarding which courier or postal service to send RIFs with.  I figured I'd share my experience in the hope that it'll be helpful for someone!  Would be interested to hear any experiences that others have had also.  Parcel Force 48: Would Recommend Used for sending a...

    DHL/UKMail - Bunch of useless *&^£%£$%

    I agree with that - but it has a lot to do with their own Customer Services department (who requested it), as it's one of their methods of tracking lost items.  The seller has been good as gold and is sending my replacement AEG out today.

    DHL/UKMail - Bunch of useless *&^£%£$%

    She might have the required clout to get to the bottom of this! I believe my use of the word "theft" and suggestion that I get the local police involved put the wind up them...

    DHL/UKMail - Bunch of useless *&^£%£$%

    Slow progress.  DHL phoned today to say that the seller should now start the claims process.  The depot were very reluctant to check the CCTV (seems suspicious to me), but when they eventually did they said that they couldn't see a parcel of that description going out.  There's no exit scan...

    Thanks boss.  I'm waiting for a call back from the Operations Manager of DHL UK - this should be interesting...

    DHL/UKMail - Bunch of useless *&^£%£$%

    Update: The depot say the parcel definitely isn't in their bays. Customer services are now getting access to their CCTV to see what happened to it. Watch this space!

    DHL/UKMail - Bunch of useless *&^£%£$%

    On that note... If anyone spots a brand new in box G&P M16A1 for sale somewhere around Essex (private sale) please let me know... I'm currently mulling over whether it's worth contacting the local police station to see if they've had any reports of theft from the depot.

    DHL/UKMail - Bunch of useless *&^£%£$%

    They were bought out by DHL (part of Deutsche Post) a couple of years ago.  Anything you receive from DHL Parcel UK has likely got to you using old UKMail infrastructure.
