ThisisAlex Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 hello, i noticed that airsoft guns are a fraction of the price of what we pay over here, is it reliable to buy from america and do you et your gun taken off you from customs if you buy from the states?

Supporters Rock-climby-Dave Posted October 27, 2010 Supporters Share Posted October 27, 2010 they are a fraction of the price OVER THERE. once you have added extorionate shipping and customs charges, they are basically the same price anyway, but with a longer wait. and there is a HIGH chance that you will never get your gun as customs like to sieze and destroy almost everything.

ThisisAlex Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 i totted up the cost of shipping and the gun i wont still a lot cheaper so does customs and exports take your gun from you if they find it? do you actually know of anyone its happened to?

AF-UK Founding Member Deva Posted October 27, 2010 AF-UK Founding Member Share Posted October 27, 2010 If you don't have a valid defence to prove that you are an airsoft skirmisher then you will never see the weapon. You are also liable to taxed on the item, I can't remember price ranges, but it could easily be £30. If you have a problem with the item it isn't really that easy to return either.. it's a lot easier to buy from within the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Rock-climby-Dave Posted October 27, 2010 Supporters Share Posted October 27, 2010 you need a valid defence to bring it in. ONLY UKARA registered players ever get by and even then they have a hassle. make sure you tell customs about it before you bring it over, so they are expecting it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
