Special airsoft Supplies - a terrible experiance

[Cheeserush]

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

It would seem new people into airsoft where something is at first glance a really good deal. Only to then stumble upon complaint after complaint at a later date.

Ordered 3 guns from that shop this year and all arrived fine

I always use my credit card or paypal just to be safe with any shop.

You are Mark and I claim my five pounds.

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.

He would only need permission if it were a registered trademark.

Pretty sure the winged dagger is, I don't know for sure 100% as I served in another regiment and another army. Anyway, I can say 100% that there would be plenty of guys who would be unhappy if a business was doing things that could be regarded as being of ill repute and using their regiment's emblem/name as a way to profiteer from this behavior.

I don't think it is. Look at all the books and dvds that use the logo. The wee r in the circle or tm would have to be on the cap badge.

fair point but this is a business so I think the rules are different. I don't know tbh but like I said if the business is involved in some shady dealings or has a bad rep, the guys who legitimately earned the the sand-coloured beret won't be too happy about it.

The logo on their site is not the one for the regiment, it is merely similar.

Go to z1, SAS is and has always been a good way of throwing away money

He doesn't have ANYTHING in stock. He never has, and never will. Only once he's received your order will it get ordered from the supplier, however 99% of the time, he'll just pocket the money and not send anything.

Never ever give in to temptation with this shonky snake oil salesman.

Bit of a blast from the past as I haven't seen much on him for a long while but I was a bit surprised today when I saw a post on Facebook of someone actually recommending them! I'm shocked that he is still trading let alone getting 

Recommendations lol, I wonder if with Facebook taking over as the source of info for beginners he's taken advantage of the fact his isn't well know on it and going for a bit more of people's money. I guess there is a chance he has chaneed and is actually selling stuff but that's probably a long shot. Anyone else heard much in recent years ? 

 

[snuff]

I know him and not wanting to defend him,I've heard nothing but bad about him.I've purchased off of him but I'am in the postion where I can collect.Why do people still use him???Because he can supply cheaper than anywhere else and the temptation to save a few ££ overrides the glaringly obvious risk.

He is notouriously hard to get hold of by phone but he's always at his site in Reading,

I was at Reading the other week.  I was tempted to place an order, but after seeing all this nope!

Close call bud ! He’s like gonorrhoea, just when you forget about it it flairs up again ! ?‍

 

[Dentonboy]

The greatest shithouse in UK airsoft. 

 

[Sneaky]

I have found some other local sites to eventually get me registered once again, then I will go back to the Reading site and try not to give him any greef.

 

[emilianoksa]

How does he get away with it?

Don't we have laws against people not fulfilling their part of the contract after money has been paid?

 

[Sneaky]

Glad I didn't get burnt from him.  I got mys last game to play in October, then I will be registered again.  I told him that and he wanted to do some under handed stuff.  I'm surprised he is still around.  I look forward to seeing him when I am all sorted and have bought my RIF's from somewhere else.
