oh my, i did not expect this any time soon, but me too

GUYS GUYS GUYS we have a new status? what on earth does that mean

The Gaol has a varient of the surrender kill. Basically if your close to someone, say 3 metres, and shout surrender its up to them to take it or try to shoot you. Basically, its a courtesy they may refuse so be prepared to shoot or be shot. Within a metre the rule on surrender is compulsory. There are a lot of close quarters encounters there and pitch black areas. So basically if your gun is up, aimed at someone point blank, you are to surrender. So really only used if there is no chance of you not winning the engagement if the trigger gets pulled. I have never seen anyone there offer surrender besides when they are close enough to poke someone with their gnu barrel. Prevents american style running round corners and into rooms screaming 'bang bang' like some rambo/neo hybrid who thinks they are invincible. In my opinion that sort of behaviour removes any skill in the game.

Mines just getting the warehouse scans. Still held in customs i think

The issue with lazers I feel is that its easy to say you wont aim at the face. But when someone peeks a corner at you, and the only thing you can shoot at is their face, what do you do? not shoot? Because everyone, me included would instinctively fire off a few rounds at said peaking individual. With a lazer on... Well, then you have just risked giving them eye damage, all be it unintentionally. Happened to me at a Gaol night game with a guy running a green lazer, didnt get me in the eye, but was all over my face when I peeked the corner. In gameplay there are ample situations from lack of alternative targets to random muzzle sweeps that can make the best intentioned player inadvertantly lazer an iris. Quietly I have always been suprised when I have found sites that allow lazers. But I also know of many that dont.

Wonder if our parcels are in the same batch? Even if mines tg and yours gf. I rang in. Apparently that means customs have them?

aaand now its.... Held in Warehouse UPS is holding the cargo at a secure facility, pending instructions and agreement.

hmmm, definately seems like there is movement going on at ups with everyones tracking changing somewhat, mine has returned to

mines the same, but i was told they scan them every 3 days, so i guess we should at somepoint today get another 'import scan'

is there a point where we can en-masse go to stanford le hope and get our parcels? i mean if they cant do the last leg of delivery...

ukara deadlines and lack of uk stockists... but thanks

As I face the prospect of weeks of 'import scan' every 3 days while it sits in London, I'd suggest avoiding looking at their twitter or other social media accounts. It doesn't paint a good picture, its somewhat demoralising. I'm just going to watch my Paypal charge back timer, just in case (180 days I think?). If people start pulling the money back from retailers due to UPS's incompetance then surely thats going to have an effect as to who they choose to deliver for them? Also, I paid UPS's imports on Paypal, so I'll claim that too, that might make them squirm a little too.

like @L3wisD mine too has reverted to in transit...

So rang again as my tracking stilll claims yesterday. guy on the phone is saying it should be on its way to the local depot (northampton by tomorrow). but if nothing happens after 3 days, then i can initiate a 'lost package' investigation or some crap. So my earlier smooth sailing on the order is starting to feel tenuous

No updates. Still says yesterday on eta. Dont know why. But the lack of accuracy in the updates are really annoying me

as of 4pm today the parcel is officially late. no update of the tracker. the Defcon airsoft package has at least arrived

Caved and rang them. One guy read out fridays status saying more documents required and put ne on hold to make enquiries. Then a woman i could barely hear picked up. Stated its cleared customs but still in london. Though is adamant that its coming by end of day today. Time will tell

So the tracker says my thing as being updated at 5 this morning. Though detailed view has not changed since the last posted screenshot. Still apparently due this afternoon.

currently mine is down as this. I would not hold my breath on delivery until it is in the Northampton depot, which is where everything ups has ever delivered me gets dispatched from. though im hoping being down to having cleared customs as being a good sign at least? With Ukara expiring on the 27th, im assuming that hurdle has now at least been passed? *touch wood* hoping i can get my mp5 and mp443 soon (and for defcon airsoft to actually send me that m14, its been a week since ordering from them, got no delivery notification or anything, its just down as completed on their website)

so mine now has the status Original documents required (Immigration documents, Visa etc) / Your package was released by the clearing agency. so is that 'its cleared and all is well' or is that 'we need more info' is Schrödinger's delivery service now it seems

and thats the page after that

so its just me that gets:

link me?

found their website not really operable? i mean, the airsoft page it sends to gets a security warning and then sends you to a hosting page? unless there are many norfolk based sites called combat?

i assume you have done the rif declaration and payed the fees?
