ikarma70 Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Hi guys, have any of you ordered anything from evike and are they any good? Thanks Andy
Guest PT247 Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 You'll have to pay import duty and tax plus the ParcelFarce fee, evike are a reputable seller though.
Supporters jcheeseright Posted January 26, 2017 Supporters Posted January 26, 2017 You'll end up paying a LOT more than you expect, especially with the $ - £ exchange rate at the moment.
Supporters TheFull9 Posted January 26, 2017 Supporters Posted January 26, 2017 If you've ever imported anything before and know what to expect, then no reason not to use them. If it's the only place to get what you need then go for it, just be sure to look around. I'd generally recommend the large Hong Kong airsoft stores before the american ones. The US stores sometimes have weird rules about what they'll export (even non-ITAR products) and tend to charge more for comparable shipping from what I've seen in the past.
ikarma70 Posted January 27, 2017 Author Posted January 27, 2017 I have imported stuff before so no shocks there. I can only seem to get m40a3 mags from evike!
tinkle60 Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 You mean these?: http://wolfarmouries.co.uk/asg-mcmillan-m40a3-magazine-20rd.html
Mr Monkey Nuts Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 or these? http://uk.redwolfairsoft.com/redwolf/airsoft/Magazines_VFC_Sniper_Rifles_VFC_M40A3_20rds_Magazines.htm and these: https://www.airsoftsniperparts.com/product-page/b1fb185a-9593-6359-7ea8-73b069f04c98
ikarma70 Posted January 27, 2017 Author Posted January 27, 2017 No none of those, these are more like the l96 style for the Cyma m40a3. http://www.evike.com/products/55543/
Supporters Shizbazki Posted January 27, 2017 Supporters Posted January 27, 2017 Evike are pretty darn good, they have some stuff that neither the UK nor HK lots sell, but if it can be helped i normally gowith ehobbyasia where i can. Expect customs charges though. That said some stuff they sell can be absolute theft, they do these seals http://www.evike.com/products/33981/ which you can get in the UK, i ordered about 50 of them for less than £10 from Eastern Seals
tinkle60 Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 Import woes aside (and recently I have had some real woes) Evike are good to go.
ikarma70 Posted January 27, 2017 Author Posted January 27, 2017 2 days later and still no reply from them so I won't bother however thanks guys!!
Supporters Shizbazki Posted January 27, 2017 Supporters Posted January 27, 2017 They do take a while to reply, normally 3 -5 days

Er.. well I don't know about that specifically, but 98% of the gear and guns I own I also imported from HK or the US. Once in every couple dozen shipments (and only ever with full RIFs) I'll get a delay in customs, but that's the worst I've had.
