Zarrin Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 (edited) Done a little bit of mid winter cleaning and removed dead links from the UK retailer list. Will get round to EU and Asia when I can. If any owners believe your site has been removed in error please let me know and/or provide an updated URL. Thx the following have been taken off: http://uk.redwolfairsoft.com/ - Redwolf HK still exists, RW UK seems to longer be in service after being hit by a fire some time ago. Can anyone confirm this? will remain off the list for the time being. https://hwairsoft.com/ https://www.battlezoneairsoft.com/ https://shop.a2supplies.co.uk/ http://www.red1airsoft.co.uk/ https://www.targetszone.co.uk/ https://camoraids.co.uk/ https://www.cheapbbguns.co.uk/ - Not sure if this is actually down or not but refuses to load due to certificate or potential hijacked link according to Norton - taken off for the time being.

Zarrin Posted January 28 Author Share Posted January 28 Maintenance complete: Asia https://airsoft-asia.com/ (gone, but not to be confused with Asia Airsoft which is still up and running. This is a shame though, airsoft asia was good, used them many times. http://www.gunnerairsoft.com/ (that is an absolute tragedy - anyone who was around during the mid 2000s ACM boom, will feel this one) EU https://www.airsoftarms.eu/en/ apparently became https://www.darkbull.eu http://www.ussli.com/ closed/down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooperman26 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 On 02/11/2024 at 07:02, Cooperman26 said: I emailed them to ask if they would accept my “sportsman’s association” membership in replace of UKARA. I’ve not used them just yet so unsure of the delivery times etc but I got the following response; “ we have no difficulty in accepting your request to send a RIF as a member of this Association if it is considered a valid defence in the UK. We have already accepted other defences other than the UKARA and have had no difficulties with UK customs. We do not have a complete understanding of what is and what is not accepted in your country as a valid defence, but if you feel that your membership of this association justifies the purchase of a RIF then I encourage you to proceed with your order. We will prepare all the documents to send your order enclosing the correctly completed RIF defence. Kind Regards Danilo” Hope that’s some help! Update ; So, I took the plunge and made an order through these guys for a shotgun RiF, there was abit of a hohar with them asking for UKARA, and I had to politely remind them of the above email to which they were fine with in the end. It seems they are based in Poland, not Italy as I presumed for some reason. They dispatched the order in good time, however, their chosen courier is UPS. This is the major red flag I’m afraid. I’ve always had issues with this company, their website and app are a minefield, always asking to sign up for access to contact them, update details, get special tracking updates etc. Item has landed in their UK sorting depot, passed through customs and has now been sat in their warehouse for nearly a week. Trying to contact them is a nightmare. In summary, fine website, awful courier, so if you do make an order make sure you are not in a rush to receive.

I find UPS really easy with customs. Usually they e-mail me an RIF form, i fill it out and send it back and they release my stuff. No issues with them so far.
