    Amazon have a couple of free vouchers at the moment.

    One is a £5 voucher if you download their app and another is a £4 voucher which you get by adding 3 items to your wishlist. 

    Unsure if you can apply both to checkout but figured it's worth a shout.

    Quick update to my dispute against @LTPinney: 

    I won, basically. PayPal reviewed my dispute and refunded me the full amount about 40 minutes ago. 

    Nice wake up to my first present of the day! Have a great Christmas everyone!  :)

    Glad you got it sorted.

    Happy Christmas.

    Cheers

    Buyers beware! I bought a UMP off of user @LTPinney on the 14th November but have received no parcel nor an update since November 27th.

    Why the warning? Because @Dan1712 also bought from him and never received anything! 

    Started a dispute against him and the guy has responded but not got in touch with me.

    Do not send him any money!

    Tried to create a profile on ZeroIn but honestly the entire website is just not very intuitive. I can't post, reply to existing topics or even view my own profile.

    Would someone be so kind as to let the folks on there know not to buy from him? He's got an advert up at the moment (posted 4 days ago) for a GBB L85 in their classifieds.

    I'm not saying you did pull out? Lol

    All I'm saying is chaps,things happen, things get lost. 

    Why he hasn't responded I can't answer that question. 

    He's a decent guy. From my experience with him this morning. 

    @LTPinney you should reply to this post and message these chaps and just explain stuff.

    Oh I see what you've put on ZeroIn. "Nonsense claims" is it? Charming..

    I'm glad you had a pleasant transaction with the guy but neither me nor Dan did. 

    He promised Dan tracking numbers and 48hr postage and then never sent them. He failed to respond to any of my messages asking for an update.

    I don't mind late or missing parcels. I care about clear and consistent communication. Neither of which was provided. It's January now and we bought our items back in November and still have yet to receive our parcels or an update from the seller. What do you expect our feedback to be when the dude won't even respond to our PM's? He can drive almost 400 miles from Dorset to Birmingham and back again but not get in touch about a listing he sold which hadn't turned up in over a month? 

    Going off on the information I had at the time this is the warning I put out about my experience with this seller. 

    I'd have been much happier with a new UMP believe me. I paid and didn't receieve a product, disputed it after a month and then left appropriate feedback.

    MrFCastle
    Fair enough chap, but I don't appreciate your tone.

    Which I'm guessing is because your behind a keyboard!

    I just simply wanted to put it out there that I've had a decent experience with him. 

    I dont know all the ins and the outs of what went on with you guys. 

    With regards to. Messages and timings 

    So I won't profess on it I can only go of what he told me and didn't seem too farfetched. 

    Feel free to pm me to discuss further if you wish. 

    Instead of flaming this up. 

    Cheers.

    Just had someone on eBay try and commit fraud against me.. Fun times.

    eBay are thankfully rather good about that.

    G
    Gepard
    Sure are. Even as the seller all I had to do was phone them and explain what was happened. Lady was very understanding and closed the dispute, released the funds and forwarded the transaction to their frauds department for review. Pretty dumb scam - I have his full name and address. Lives about 20 miles away. Might send him a glitter bomb for Christmas.

    Looks like TaiwanGun has a got a bit of a sale going on at the moment called "Black Novemeber" - Very tempted to grab an AK.

    There's going to be a sale on AliExpress on the 11th. Good time to knock a few quid off your orders.

    To be fair every item I've ever ordered from China has arrived within the set timeframe. Even little Epackets come with tracking now so I can check up on the parcel every few days.

    Both me and wolf have had a similar experience of ordering , being able to track on Aliexpress but not being able to find any hint of it with any other tracking service once it’s not turned up and still says ‘in transit’ on there site ! ?

    Try 17Track. That'll give you all the updates at least until it hits the UK. If it then goes to Parcel Force you'll get their updates too.

    Can't believe I'm considering buying a free float rail for my M4. They've grown on me somehow.

    Currently looking for an AK. Please let me know via my advert if you have anything you're looking to shift:

    Quite surprised this evening - or morning I should say - when I'm browsing through eBay and see Mk7 helmets at <£40. What happened?

    6 months ago and these helmets were in high demand at >£100! Have all our soldiers been kitted out with Revision Cobras already? I'd have thought that would take at least a decade..

    Jedi_Master

    Are they genuine mk7 or some china made knock offs.

    G
    Gepard
    To me they look legit. But I wouldn't know what to look for on replicas - especially not from photos. Here's the listing: https://bit.ly/2Plp03k

    G
    Any leads on a replica for a Matech 600m BUIS? I like the style - if not the price!

    Did a bit of digging on the usual sites but can't seem to source one (if they even exist).

    Fair enough. I was going to let mine go for £40. It's a good sight

    Appreciate the offer mate but I'll have to pass for now. Will deffo keep you in mind tho!  :)

    No worries! There are a bunch of airsoft sights similar to it. Not identical, but have a similar compact base with tall flip up sight

    What's with all the bronze rails I keep seeing on M4s? 

    I'm sure somebody explained it to me but I just can't remember..

    Surely the whole point of cloning a military rifle is to be unoriginal?

    I saw someone the other day posting a tutorial on baking their TM sopmod rails in the oven to get then to turn FDE/Bronze.

    Sod that.

    Can't bake the TM rails, they're painted not anodised.  G&P are bakeable though!

    If you want to lose a few thousand brain cells head over to the PatrolBase community chat.

    I have a much more enjoyable way of destroying brain cells which also promotes the growth of new ones.

    I like the new announcements tab. Now I can prepare myself for when the site goes down.

    It tends to pop up and then hide and such.... lil fucker.

    Right so it looks like that only comes up if you have the 'news and information' thing disabled in your profile. But it really shouldn't - I'll find some way to turn that off.

    @rocketdogbert I know you like KRISS Vectors so I think it would be fitting if you had one of these as your backup:

    What? It looks like a mini vector! Stick a block suppressor on it and hey presto. Thought it would be right up your street!  :o

    Despite being in all day and about 5m from the front door apparently Hermes "Missed you" at 14:02. 

    Now it's gone back to the depot for redelivery.

    Living up to the standard I come to expect from this courier. 

    G
    Ordered a parcel on eBay. Turns out the seller is using Hermes as a courier.

    Less than a 50/50 chance of it turning up within the next 6 weeks.  :ph34r:

    Yeah, anything over a certain weight or size and I go with ParcelForce. Never had an issue with them.

    Anything smaller gets sent via Royal Mail.

    Hermes have always been good in my area, you're at the mercy of whomever covers that postal code. You must just have a crap person covering. Complain enough and they'll sack/replace them.

    @duff my experience exactly. Our old City Link driver was really good...

    Don't know what your paying or what you're budget is. We ran a VPS forum for a while and then gave up on it  as other sites tended to hog resources, going for a server of our own. <£25 a month from Kimsufi.com for a pretty high spec system that was our own hardware. So we had complete choice of OS and software to run and build as we like.

    Thanks, but we're fine. I'm just adjusting the resources to account for the new stuff we've added. Devastator has been using DO for years for the forums and I've been using them myself for about the same time on other stuff :)
