Wcg Shop

I was about to post a thread regarding WGC Shop then I saw this.

As it seems to be the only place right now that has VFC/Umarex USP9 mags - rarer than rocking horse keech apparently - I was wondering if anyone had experiences of lighter non-RIF packages from them, what charges are etc. I'm only looking at buying two so should be a very small package.

I did find on EBay a TM USP9 mag however I'm not sure if its compatible with the Umarex.

Serves me right. should've bought a 1911 or Deagle but no, I had to be smartthick and want the sci-fi-ey USP didn't I, and then found out the mags are non-existent. I did chib the retailer a few times but their reply was "meh".

Bought quite a few bits from wgcshop and never had issues. They can be slow regarding dispatch but as long as you stay under 135 pounds it should be fine. Before you buy it check mlemart.com and other HK based retailers you may find a better deal or lower delivery cost.

Echo this for WGC, and HAO & Impulses101 - not bought from Redwolf. A recent order from WGC took 16 days from order to delivery. Order total was roughly £133 with approx £30 shipping. 

 
Thanks for the feedback gents. Looks like I'll finally be able to get my USP9 mags after all. Oo-rah!

 
Just have to offer another shout to WGC Shop. Ordered on 18 July, delivered earlier today.

MWS was almost £200 cheaper than UK prices, and even with shipping of £93, its a decent saving. No additional customs charges either.

 
I was about to ask. I plan on ordering at theirs for the first time in 15 years. I remember that import tax being claimed 4-5 months after reception of the order.

 
Don't tell me that! ? 

I placed another order with them a few days ago for some more Guns Modify P-mags. This is my fourth order from them and so far, no charges.?

4/5 months seems super excessive, @C-Diddy did they use E-Express?  Parcel Force in the UK?

Generally e-Express is 40 bucks for 2kg

 
@ak2m4E-Express is available on orders under $1,000 HKD (approx £100) which my last one was. The rest have been UPS IIRC.

Mind you, it was 15 years ago, in France, where civil servants have a very meridional work culture, and processes and paperwork are unduly complex. 

But it did come and it was a nasty surprise. I tend, from experience, to think that the State/the Crown never forgets about its dues and always ends up claiming them.

It is really anoying that they have this new policy of a £100 limit for e-express. No one else has this limit (just size and weight).

I recently ordered from them making sure it was under £100 to miss this limit and keep it under the £135 limit for goods so not import duties and VAT are charged. However they marked the shipment as a gift. This has a duty and VAT limit of £35 so I ended up paying the duties and processing fee when it was not due.

 
To counter the rather positive reviews above - I ordered 3 hicapa mags from them in late December. The pretty fast postage is unfortunately where the good service ends - one of the mags turned up with its fill valve missing its entire outer part - so is loose in the mag, with obviously no gas seal to speak of, and no way to tighten it. Their stock response after several emails is the same - 'we check every mag before its sent out, so you are lying'. Not great!

I've only progressed the paypal claim earlier this morning so not heard back yet. Worst case, i only lose out on £20 - and frankly, less if i can work out how to extract the broken valve and replace it -  so not the end of the world, but I was still rather surprised by the response!
