Sacarathe Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 http://www.rainbow8.com/ Good prices, and since a few people received order now, clearly legit and real. Few people have shopped here now, did they mark down the package valuations risking potential issues with customs?
Root Admin proffrink Posted March 6, 2016 Root Admin Posted March 6, 2016 Most of these companies won't mark down unless you ask - they stand to make no money from incorrectly marking value so generally a request is needed from the customer. They're an excellent site though. 3 orders with them now and all dispatched and delivered quickly.
Hef Legend Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 Their prices look almost to good to be true, MK23 for £82.39....TM G18 for £78.86. Can't see any pricing in regards to shipping though. not even at checkout :S

Root Admin proffrink Posted March 6, 2016 Root Admin Posted March 6, 2016 Shipping is alright. I posted them in the 'Share a Bargain' thread for their prices - they are the cheapest for Marui GBB stuff.
Hef Legend Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 Aye, I'm eyeing the Mp7, Mp9 and Recoils. I like the look of the Sopmod
Hef Legend Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 Aye, I'm eyeing the Mp7, Mp9 and Recoils. If they stocked TM MP7 AEG Midcaps i'd do an order. Let me know if you order, we potentially could share the order and postage. I was going to get the sopmod, shipping is £60ish
Sacarathe Posted March 6, 2016 Author Posted March 6, 2016 That's quite high, I couldn't find out shipping without giving them my full address (after making an account).

Head Moderator Jedi_Master Posted March 6, 2016 Head Moderator Posted March 6, 2016 ^^ so that is about £334 total on invoice.
Root Admin proffrink Posted March 6, 2016 Root Admin Posted March 6, 2016 Indeed. You will see the 20% VAT for that, however - no way the believe it's just £12-worth of gun Their shipping on magazines and the like is excellent though. Wouldn't spring for EMS though unless you're very impatient.
Aengus Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 What's people's experiences with customs (import duty and vat more specifically) Do they mark values down and out parcels as gifts?
Root Admin proffrink Posted April 23, 2016 Root Admin Posted April 23, 2016 They do, yes. You'd need to put a note on to be sure.
Aengus Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 They do, yes. I'll put a note on to be sure. In order comments? Or Paypal?
Root Admin proffrink Posted April 23, 2016 Root Admin Posted April 23, 2016 Order comments. I usually email just to be sure, but I'm pretty sure they're one of the companies that quote low regardless.
Aengus Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 Order comments. I usually email just to be sure, but I'm pretty sure they're one of the companies that quote low regardless. Emailed them yesterday at 3 but still no reply
Root Admin proffrink Posted April 23, 2016 Root Admin Posted April 23, 2016 Did you put the order in? I order then ask (not that it should matter).
Aengus Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 Did you put the order in? I order then ask (not that it should matter). No (planning on getting tm m&p magazines from them but need to get the actual gun first) How much is shipping btw?
Sacarathe Posted April 23, 2016 Author Posted April 23, 2016 How much is shipping btw? See the post above on that.
Aengus Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 See the post above on that. That's for a gun isn't it?
Sacarathe Posted April 23, 2016 Author Posted April 23, 2016 That's for a gun isn't it? What was your question about?
Aengus Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 What was your question about? Postage for magazines
Crashtest33 Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 2 orders in the past 4 weeks. Both turned up within a week!!! No import duty (UK doesn't really care about items from HK or China anyway. They don't have the man power to check them all). Can't remember what carrier they used tho, sorry. Johnny Yu is great. Always responds to email very quickly although his written English is pretty basic that being said it's a hell of a lot better than my Cantonese! Gonna see what they can do on an AEG soon.
EDcase Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 Another happy customer. Purchased here because it wasn't available anywhere in UK. I did have to pay tax before it would be delivered but still slightly cheaper than UK price. Took about 3 weeks to arrive.
