Anybody bought direct from Bullgear recently?

Planning on getting some PKM parts but wanted to make sure they'd actually arrive given they're shipped from Russia (Or was, maybe that's changed too?)

Do they use PayPal yet too?

Update: Took the chance, they still ask for payment to be sent via Friends and Family which but I need the parts sooo, I guess I'll update with the outcome in case anybody else is in my situation lol

I would always do stupid things to make my PKM beautiful... I attempted to order a rather expensive Zenitco stock for it from America a while back. The payment went through etc but it got returned at customs. Luckily they refunded me in full... I think the saying is "More money than sense"?

They sent me a tracking number about half an hour ago, it's looking good so far! 

Edit: I didn't think to check the email, they didn't send any tracking info just an email stating they would send tracking info. No tracking info yet (Saturday, so 3 days after paying)

Hmmm, sounds familiar.

Was it a hop up unit you were looking for? They seem very rare these days. A couple of places have the box mag inserts at least.

As dodgy as it seems, Bullgear know what they're doing is pretty cheeky so I think they're going to do all they can to keep you happy should any issues arise. It's within their interest to keep their business going and avoid any customers slating them and destroying trust.

I was going to order a gearbox from them, spoke to them on whatsapp and we decided that it'd probably get stopped in customs and wouldn't be worth it, so we did not do it seemed pretty trustworthy

Haven't heard anything from them since I ordered, no tracking info, nothing to suggest it's posted etc... Is this normal?

Sent them an email a few days ago, received a reply this morning. They forgot to send me the tracking info lol

Parcel seems to have gone quiet after getting to Rumown on Tuesday, hopefully it's on its way to the UK soonish

Well my bullgear stuff arrived today. 26 days from the day they posted it to my door step which isn't terrible from Russia. Everything seems to be okay, however I am disappointed by Bullgear themselves and their lack of customer service. Not sending me any tracking information until I sent them a few emails asking for updates which was less than ideal - However the items did arrive, and it was far cheaper than buying over here (If over here had the stuff in stock...)

Now to work out how it all works

Fire support usually have Bullgear stuff in stock

They've only just restocked the hop unit for the PKM after about 8 months, the mag insert has been out of stock for a few years and they don't carry the gen 2 gearbox shell...
