Jolley Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 just bought one of my latest guns off action hobbies must say the service was great and arrived in the channel islands in 5 days i think that was pretty good so i am starting this discussion to hear and share opinions about the retailer for future purchases
the-sarge84 Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 I have bought from them in the past and they are great to deal with. Always a fast reply to any e mails. I did buy my ebr from them and found obw cheaper else where, but thats my fault. It did also have a faulty hop rubber but that was easy sorted as was changing barrel anyhow. They have a great range of stuff.
the-sarge84 Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 Should have said found one cheaper not found obw cheaper. Sorry. =-O
Techno Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 I've had great service also, and whenever i have ordered ammo from them in the past it has always came in 1-2 days. Great shop all-round really!
dazzer306 Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Ordered from them twice now and service was great delivery was 1/2 days emails to say was on way
Hibernator Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Swear thedeliverys like 60 quid to england? They are in Milton Keynes, I highly doubt the delivery is that high!

TacMaster Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Actionhobbies are okay, I just think that they should offer a 2-tone service as I like the RiFs they sell. Wolfarmouries sell many of the AEGs Actionhobbies have on their site I like the look of, but I don't trust Wolf's VAT amount. VAT is 10% of the product's price, so for example, an SRC M16A3 should be sold for £164.98, not £179.99.
Supporters TPI Posted January 3, 2013 Supporters Posted January 3, 2013 it was raised to 20% begining of last year actually
Hibernator Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 it was raised to 20% begining of last year actually Yup - and it was 17.5% before that! £149.99 plus 20% VAT is indeed £179.99
TacMaster Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Yup - and it was 17.5% before that! £149.99 plus 20% VAT is indeed £179.99 Bloody Wikipedia
xiJamesss Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 He's probably thinking of ehobby your right there :L
AF-UK Founding Member Deva Posted January 4, 2013 AF-UK Founding Member Posted January 4, 2013 VAT hasn't been 10% since the 70's!
coke Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 I always seem to only end up buying my things from action hobbys quick and easy great shop
alwaysontheoffensive Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 good as gold, nothing but praise, had a faulty battery problem with my good old cm16 raider, couldn't isolate whether it was battery, charger or motor, so they sent replacements for all three, for free!!!!
Hav0c Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 I bought my eye protecion, spare lenses and some gloves from ActionHobbies and it came right on time. Postage wasn't to pricey either, thumps up ActionHobbies!
MrNexus8 Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 I bought my first and (so far) only gun from these guys last September, the chap who runs it (Paul I think his name is) was as knowledgeable as they come, in my opinion, couldn't do enough for me and was very friendly/polite ... advised me not to buy a more expensive gun too, so it didn't seem just about making profit. Really like this place, recommended if you live near. It's 4o mins from me but they're so good I'm prepared to travel.
ipxfreeze14 Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 I live in Milton Keynes and I find it an amazing shop and here in MK we are lucky to have it
remus Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 its where i got my tompson (back when they had it at a really low price, should have bought 2...) and not had a problem at all with their service. would happily buy from them again.
inhen Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 I took my spare parts gun to their shop in MK last week and got what I hope is good advice. well the majority of the advice given tallied up with what I've read about hi speed and the rest just made sense. They have got virtually no stock in atm due to Christmas but I picked up a few bits and had a 2 hour chin-wag.
