can I second this, Ordering some stuff and would like some feedback from others?

PS I know that this can be classed as a necro but better than starting a new one.

Yeh, they're fine. I've bought flash suppressors from them before with no issues (two orders in total) with the usual slow shipping. About 2 weeks they took to get here.

Well I made my 5th and 6th order from Asia Airsoft two weeks ago (a couple of LayLax/Nineball Glock gas routers and a TM Glock 50rd magazine). The gas routers arrived fine but the magazine was still marked as 'processing' four days ago when I e-mailed them to ask why it hadn't been dispatched yet. Firstly, e-mails to their support inbox were being rejected as their mailbox was full so I e-mailed their sales e-mail.

Didn't get a reply for 3 days so last night opened a PayPal dispute asking when they'd dispatch it - this morning they just refunded it with no explanation. Seems like a classic case of them not updating their stock then taking money anyway - I thought Asia Airsoft were better than this, but apparently not.

Still, I've had 5 other good transactions, but buyers should be beware of this especially if they're buying something that's a bit uncommon (e-mail to ask them if it's in stock first).

Same type of thing happened with a wgc shop order

Took money all going smoothly ready to ship then informed though some items were out of stock.

Asked for refund in full and cancel whole order as few things that were in stock were an afterthought tbh....

Days pass, eventually thought they better not try that restocking fee for any cancelled order crap so had to open a paypal dispute ffs....

Got my full refund but kinda put me off yet I know many on here rate wgc shop.

Just pot luck as to what is in stock but these oversea sellers do seem go a bit deaf when they can't fufill the orders their site says in stock

Soz for derail waffle but cheers for heads up

I've just ordered from Asia Airsoft, a few small bits and hoping they arrive as planned. Has anyone ordered any guns from them? Their prices seem really decent and they seem to stock some stuff that's harder to find more locally. I'm toying with the idea of ordering a WE L85 from them, but I'm concerned I may be hit with hidden charges for customs or something like that. Any thoughts?

 

[proffrink]

You will always be charged regardless of retailer unless you're very lucky. 20% + handling charge of £13.50 is standard.

 

[Super64]

Thanks mate, with the add on's it's probably not going to be worth it when I can get one in Europe with no extra payments.

Just an update to my previous post. I've now ordered 5 guns from Asia Airsoft over the last six months or so, 3 pistols and 2 rifles. So far 4 have arrived within about 10 to 15 days of ordering and I've not been hit with any customs charges yet, (the 5th one, an HK3P P226 I only ordered this week, so I'm still waiting for that to arrive. I hope I've not just jinxed myself.)

The pistols have come through normal post, but I was expecting to definitely be hit with some form of hold up and customs charges on the rifles, but my WE Scar H came through with no issues in August and my Ares L1A1 arrived without issue yesterday. I'd say they are definitely worth a look, good stock, reasonable price. I had a slight issue with my very first order a while ago, ordered a Peq box, suppressor and other bits and pieces. Most items arrived, but the suppressor was missing. I got in touch with them via email and received a phone call from them within a day or so, but I was at work, so they emailed me. The suppressor was out of stock so they gave me the option of an alternative or a refund. They refunded my via PayPal, no issues.

Just so you know, I have no affiliation with Asia Airsoft whatsoever and cannot guarantee that others will not be charged by customs, I may just have been lucky

Anyone recently had any issues with Asia Airsoft?

[proffrink]

Ordered two months ago. Not sure if that's recent enough. All arrived fine.

Probably put about two dozen orders through with them now and only had an issue with one, so not too bad.

 

[PT247]

thanks mate, they actually phoned me which suggests they are good, although not returned any emails since and I am £300 out of pocket until they reply

 

[proffrink]

Yeh, I had the same (documented in this very thread) and had to dispute a charge as they wouldn't reply to emails/emails being rejected.

I've ordered from them 3 times..all items turned up, but not all at the same time...I ordered items (which were in stock) on one day, the very next day I decided to order something else.  First order arrived just over a week later..the items I ordered 24hrs later from the first order..didn't turn up for a month.  But they are cheap.

 

[MisterG]

Are these guys much cheaper than ordering from Poland based suppliers?

Or is it they have a better range ( ?) of guns on offer

Cheers

They stated they had somit in stock I can't get outside of Hong Kong

 

[EvilMonkee]

Caveat emptor as always - I would email before hand to check stock levels.  Having been to HK recently I can assure you that the vast majority of these stockists are dropshippers who order in from a 3rd party supplier or alternatively hold very very minimal levels of stock.  WGC Shop, Redwolf and ehobby are the exceptions to this rule.

 

[PT247]

They dropped me an email today, they don't have the item in stock but are going to try and get one for me, although I am not holding my breath
