Special airsoft Supplies - a terrible experiance

[M_P]

In reality, they're probably lieing, id bet they don't actually have it.

Your other option is to use a ready-mag, not ideal but will do the job

 

[paperpirate]

yep just run away and hide from them. if your new airsoft scotland/ world is were quite a few (me included) purchase their first RIF. cheap enough for a first rifle and good service (usually, heard they are starting to go downhill)

Ordered from the site a month ago and same story. Feel like a total noob.

Trying to get my credit card company on it now.

 

[hilander]

it doesn,t matter if he sells to people with or without ukara as they dont get there guns anyway.

 

[Richard65]

The address on their website is only 10 minutes from XSite at lane end so could pop round next time we go to the site (probably at the end of this month).

From google maps it looks like a residential area so probably someone just operating from home with limited stock space.

 

[joshcowin]

get all the people who have been scammed which is 80+ on his doorstep and back door dont think he would be walking for a long while

It eventually came, 3 months later... And a refund!

Anyone else thinks there should be a pinned blacklist?

 

[Alexb111]

Two_Zero, I believe thats a good idea but it has to be done carefully because while some sites are terrible for everything others are hit and miss on service and so you'll get arguments about what warrants a spot on the blacklist.

 

[Deva]

I think it would only be this lot on it. You can put someone like JBBG on there but it only takes a little bit of common sense to realise a sub £50 item is not actually going to be the same or better than a £150+ item..

was thinking just that, or competitors might bs.

 

[Rock-climby-Dave]

TBH, Competitors in airsoft are few and far between. Most shops get along well with each other.

Some companies are looked on less favourably by other shops, but only really 2/3 that I can think of and they all have decent customer service really. (and no, I won't be saying who they are)

as Dev said, only SAS would be on the list and their website is a long way behind where most decent shops are now it looks dodgy anyway. a quick google search will return that they are not to be trusted with anything.

JBBG sell cheap shite, but their customer service is supposedly quite good.

Oh for god sake....... I ordered with him last night stupidly. Few hours after I realised he never asked for a UKARA which smelt fishy so I done some digging.... by digging, google finished off my search bar for me 'special airsoft supplies con artist'... Order totally 165, in the pending stage of paypal which means i cant open a case until its completed apparently. Any advice for a moron like myself to get my dollar back?!

 

[proffrink]

AFAIK, 'pending' means the account cannot accept/has not accepted the funds or doesn't exist. It goes into holding for 30 days and - if unaccepted - is returned to you.

Just make an email support request or phone PayPal and see.

So he emailed me back this evening, he seemed genuine, obviously it's hard to get over the overwhelming negative reviews this guys got. But he said he could post tomorrow, as the reason he didn't today was because I ordered the wrong gas and advised me which one to buy. But if I still wanted he has no problem cancelling the order. When I replied explaining I wasn't happy at the reviews I would like to cancel, he was prompt and very understanding.

Obviously I'm not going to argue with people's experiences as it may have saved me a lot of money. But from my experience, Mark was quite reasonable.

He is until you're a few months down the line and it still hasn't arrived, as that's when he stonewall's his "customers".

 

[Sacarathe]

I wish someone would correct the spelling mistake in the title. :/

 

[Infanteer]

Not sure how the SAS association would feel about this bloke using the winged dagger on his website either... highly doubtful that he would have permission.

 

[Dentonboy]

Cannot actually believe the guy is still in business...who on Earth is buying from him?!
