MrMcG Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Has anyone used this guy/shop before Bought some bits Monday paid 12 quid for postage which was meant to be next day. He gave me a ref number but when you put that onto royal mail site it comes back with nothing...
Airsoft_Mr B Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Haven't used it myself but I know people on here who have and no problems as far as I know Can't say why the tracking reference doesn't work but then again I don't think they're ever that accurate or useful anyway
Root Admin proffrink Posted September 10, 2015 Root Admin Posted September 10, 2015 Yeh, I have. Was fine, but it was only something small.
MrMcG Posted September 10, 2015 Author Posted September 10, 2015 That's cool I won't panic yet Was for a torch and a gas mag sent him a mail so will see if he gets back to me.
Root Admin proffrink Posted September 10, 2015 Root Admin Posted September 10, 2015 £12 postage for that? Was it a milspec torch or did you just need it fast?
MrMcG Posted September 10, 2015 Author Posted September 10, 2015 No just a kriss vector internal torch and a hi capa 4.3 mag And it mainly because I wanted it for last night haha but never mind
Root Admin proffrink Posted September 10, 2015 Root Admin Posted September 10, 2015 Hm, that's bad then man. If it's guaranteed next day you need to get a portion of that £12 back - if you don't complain then the issue will persist. Maybe it was a mistake on Dave's end, maybe it was Royal Mail - but if it was guaranteed then someone needs to be accountable because you wouldn't have paid more than £4-5 for that ordinarily I'd wager.
MrMcG Posted September 10, 2015 Author Posted September 10, 2015 Yep exactly totally agree and I will be asking ref a refund of some sort just want it to arrive first before I kick up a fuss as there is a chance I guess it's not been sent yet or royal mail have confiscated it...
Root Admin proffrink Posted September 10, 2015 Root Admin Posted September 10, 2015 Yep. Why he/they would send it via Royal Mail when the rules about compressed gas containers is so clear is beyond me. There's a good chance it's been confiscated if it was sent. Hope it gets to you soon.
Supporters Esoterick Posted September 10, 2015 Supporters Posted September 10, 2015 Not used them but would ask for at least the difference between standard and next day delivery to be refunded. Remember the contract is between the courier and retailer, so don't let shops tell you otherwise.
MrMcG Posted September 10, 2015 Author Posted September 10, 2015 Checked the tracking again now, guess what its been sent today!!! Says processed on the 10th Little bit peed at that if I ever get an answer to an email or a phone call I'll be asking for money back on postage
Root Admin proffrink Posted September 10, 2015 Root Admin Posted September 10, 2015 Certainly do so. That's a ridiculously long dispatch time anyway.
MrMcG Posted September 10, 2015 Author Posted September 10, 2015 It's a shame he had some good stuff Live and learn
Root Admin proffrink Posted September 10, 2015 Root Admin Posted September 10, 2015 Probably a simple mistake, but I know if I saw an invoice I'd given with next day delivery that was only dispatched 4 days after it was ordered then I'd be sending an apology e-mail.
skillfulmmd Posted May 15, 2017 Posted May 15, 2017 I've ordered from Dave a few times and always had great customer service and turn around times. Even spent a long time over E-Mail discussing custom builds and his opinions on platforms. Also great if you are looking for AK platform guns and gear as this places has loads include zenitco furniture.
AnotherOopsie Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 Placed an order for a few little bits & pieces on Thursday and paid for next day delivery but no parcel yet. Received an email saying they have my order but that's all. Reading the shipping policy it says: "We Ship all items as soon as possible when your order is received, this is usually the same day, however, at times when we are very busy it may take us a day or two to get through to your order. This means if you pay for special delivery / Next day delivery there is no guarantee the item will arrive the day after you have placed the order, instead the item will arrive the day after we dispatch the order (via your selected courier method)." So it's really one day delivery after they dispatch your order. Not the best in my opinion.
AnotherOopsie Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 Update: Order has been dispatched 5 days after order for "next day delivery." Dont think I'll be using them again.
MrMcG Posted June 28, 2017 Author Posted June 28, 2017 Just placed an order myself as it's the only place with the part will keep track of how long it takes

Dentonboy Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 Saw their stall at the Bexley Airsoft boot fair in April. Brother asked if he had any VFC 416 gbbr magazines. Guy behind stall said 'not here but on website' so we looked later that day, but no joy. Sent an email and the reply was 'no, we don't stock those.' All a bit bizarre tbh.
MrMcG Posted June 28, 2017 Author Posted June 28, 2017 Well just had my update and order complete and marked as sent!
Paltala Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 They seem to work well for small orders. Bought a G&P 1 inch CCW to CCW Barrel extension yesterday. Arrived today.
Albiscuit Posted June 29, 2017 Posted June 29, 2017 Ordered a few bits Monday night (late) paid for normal delivery and the package was delivered on Wednesday. Maybe just unlucky for some with the delivery! I have no faults with the site or service. thought they would be a bit pricey as it seems a bit niche for parts etc, but was the cheapest I found (only ordered a scope, protector and some iron sights) but was actually a tenner or so cheaper than patrol base for almost the exact same items)
Chopper92 Posted June 29, 2017 Posted June 29, 2017 Ordered from Daves before and everytime they have been brlliant , prompt postage and reasonable prices , whether you are buying a unique scope to give your rifle that operator look or to some smaller unique attachments at parts it always the best quality \!

If you order too late (outside business hours), your order will have been processed Tuesday morning, not Monday evening. Even so, even if they did process it Monday evening, it won't have been sent out for delivery until Tuesday
