iAcorn Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 After purchasing a plate carrier and SERPA holster from these guys I can safely say they are a great seller. Their website looks great, is easy to navigate and has a decent selection of gear. They dont have a huge range of AEGs though. But I didnt look at them to buy rifles. Whats more is they offer a membership for £5 per year. This gives you 10% off ALL purchases and products. Considering I bought a PC and SERPA holster from there I have saved way more than I paid for the membership. Their support was also first class. They called me to say that the SERPA holster was out of stock, with a resupply coming in the following day or two and dispatched my PC at the same time. Delivery was the next day (today). In short. Excellent products, reasonable prices and great customer service. 9/10 for them (deduct 1 for not having the product in stock. But then again SERPA holsters are popular and right handed are usually sold out anyways). Huge thanks to juni0r for telling me about the site.

Hibernator Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Seconded. Been buying bits and bobs off them for a couple of years. They only recently started doing airsoft guns, specializing mainly in real steel kit and gear. The website is now a million times better than it used to be and the service is always top notch. They have lots of kit that is hard to find elsewhere. Once you've bought from them they tend to post you a catalogue full of goodies quite regularly too - it all gets very tempting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexb111 Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Oh dear, I've spent the past 4 hours looking at their website and have favourited kit and stuff worth about £700 in all. Looks like my salary for the next 2 months is spoken for already :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam_G Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I should get commission!! The shop is even more tempting. The service is great and most of the guys that work there are airsofters. The prices are not the cheapest but the kit is all top quality and most things are in stock. As said they have only just got RIFs back in and they are now a KWA stockist doing all the latest gas rifles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iAcorn Posted October 21, 2012 Author Share Posted October 21, 2012 Indeed you should get comission. I keep browsing and seeing items I want. I found their Magazine stock is pretty hard to navigate to though. My SERPA Thight setup should be arriving sometime in the next few days. Happy times!

Lickystrike64 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Bone question time, but is this the same USMC PRO shop in Pompey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam_G Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Yeah....was renamed UKMCpro. The one in Southsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lickystrike64 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Thought so. I'm just a ten minute walk away too. Sweet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedle Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I've popped in the shop a few times for mags and consumables. Very helpful staff who know there stuff, I know a lot of people round this way that buy there and the feedback is always excellent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvchan Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 been a few times and find them a little up themselves, with no room for haggling!! why spend a £5 for discount, when you can go round to Combat South (five minutes away) get better kit better service and you can always negotiate a good price.

Panda Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 You just need to be careful with their website, and better off calling them. I've ordered stuff before which shows in stock and been told days later that its still on back order or in customs somewhere. That particular issue was regarding lefthanded IMI holsters for P226 and 1911's which I waited for a month to get until even they got embarrassed about it and substituted for the more expensive Blackhawk holsters. Once you get on the phone with them, they're nice as pie and go out of their way for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sako Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Bought the Bolle Raider Ballistic Safety Glasses Kit from UMCPro, price was excellent in comparison to other online retailers, delivered the next day. the online store has plenty of products to spend your hard earned on.

FreeFrag.UK Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I've attempted to order a UBACS and some other items. Royal mail appear to have lost the package and as it stands UKMCPro have failed to offer any solution whatsoever. The staff offer assurances that they'll rectify the problem but also state that they can't do anything until an investigation by Royal Mail has been completed. Complete jokers. It's a shame as previous experiences have been excellent and they offer some great products but it appears as though once an issue occurs you're stuffed. Avoid.

mintsauce5 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I purchased a pair of Wiley x gloves from them a while ago , they split around the knuckle protection after being used twice (under a month after purchase), they flatly refused to do anything claiming it was wear and tear ! Fortunately went direct to Wiley x and they replaced them straight away , would never use them again . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd argue we don't know the time frame here waiting a short while is acceptable but if it's been 2 weeks and they aren't offering refunds/replacements then I would go the chargeback route. Chargebacks are actually bad for your credit rating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Rogerborg Posted March 21, 2019 Supporters Share Posted March 21, 2019 My experience has been that chargebacks take so long to be actioned by the payment handler that the goods will have been delivered, or any reasonable merchant will have resolved the situation, before the handler even contacts them. Unreasonable ones, like SWAT, appear to only take action when they are contacted and facing a chargeback. Do you have insider knowledge of why initiating a chargeback (even if it was on a credit card) would effect your credit rating? I'm struggling to see why, and can't find any suggestion that this is the case. I stress initiating, since ideally the issue will be resolved without the necessity of performing the chargeback. But if it's not, then the chargeback is going to be necessary anyway, regardless of any ding to your credit rating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musica Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Seems I am misinformed. Must have been fraudulent charge backs I was thinking about. If the merchant isn't willing to do anything for an unspecified amount of time then you've paid for a product and it hasn't arrived a charge back is acceptable.

Supporters Rogerborg Posted March 21, 2019 Supporters Share Posted March 21, 2019 In principle, the first recourse should be to tell them that the contract is at an end pursuant to Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 section 42. In practice though I'd just sod that off and initiate a chargeback the instant any trader starts making noises about "Postie must have lost it", because otherwise it's just more delay, delay, delay before you get your money back. There's also the principled point that it's literally irrelevant to the contract between the consumer and the trader. Any trader should know that it's their sole responsibility to ensure delivery without undue delay, and they can't outsource that to a third party. Attempting to do so is an unreasonable attempt to dodge their statutory obligations, at which point it's game on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeFrag.UK Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Small update. My order turned up albeit a week late. Communications wise they weren't particularly helpful. I can't prove it but based off the turn around, interactions with their "customer service" team and postage used on the order itself, I suspect that my order was dispatched late. There are a couple of bits and pieces which I'm after which only they seem to stock so as such I'll be forced to place an order with them again in future (unless I can find an alternative) but I'll adjust my expectations accordingly.
