    Oh, I've already got my refund from eBay, even though the item is still notionally in transit. No messing around, just fire in with the dispute at the earliest opportunity.
  2. Rogerborg
    I used to, but not any more. In the extant case, it's a late dispatch. In any case, if they've given an indicated delivery date then that's a contractual term. They're perfectly welcome to increase their estimates, and I can make an informed decision on that basis. I'd rather wait two weeks for an honest seller than be bilked by one who promises 3 day delivery than takes over a week to even dispatch.

    Incompetent arrogant crooked thieving filth, I'm saddened that you've resolved their mistake at your cost. This, right here, is why I now file a "goods not received" dispute the moment any order from a business seller is later than the indicated date, or if it contains the slightest deviation from what was promised without prior agreement. No waiting, no excuses, no nuance. It's either complete and on time, or the contract was breached, and not by me. I've got an eBay one to file at a minute after midnight tonight, even though the goods are now ostensibly on the way. Nope, no benefit of the doubt, if it's reached the point where I've been able to escalate it, there's no further basis for trust.

    I hope no daft Scunt falls for it.

    Mmm, airsofters are already delusional enough about the performance of our assault-toys without adding tangerine trees and marmalade skies into the mix.

    Heroic, I'd call it quits at 25. I took 4 litres of water today but only got to drink 2 since we got into a literal fire-fight before the end of the day, and our priorities changed rather sharply.

    Nice one! Also, you jammy git. Also to the also, I'm surprised that they didn't put a bit of time into sorting it, given the desirability.
  9. Rogerborg
    Is the correct answer. I hope that you just went with "Goods not received" and didn't go into the (irrelevant) backstory. It's hard on EU sellers, and I don't blame them for the problems being inflicted by bureaucratic parasites having a dick swinging contest. However, they're businesses, they know the score with contractual obligations.

    Trying to be charitable, he might have been having a bad day after realising that he'd taken on a lot more than he could deal with. But that deserves an apology later. If he's just shrugged it off then it's likely to happen again.
  11. Rogerborg
    Oof. OK, sounds like you've been properly mugged off. Well, he's made his choice, all you can do is to make yours.

    Sorry to hear that, druid, it's sad to hear that a good site has gone bad. I'd sack it off for the owner's attitude, there's no fixing that. On the money though, I actually appreciate Mrs Owner's honesty, and I think we need to have an honest conversation about that. £25 per person for a full day plus maybe a couple of quid profit on BBs or bangs is great value for us, but a poor earner for sites. I'm astonished that they manage to run at all on such thin gruel. Compare that to pack of chavs where they turned over £600 in 2 hours. It rather sounds like the site owner has decided that you're more trouble than you're (literally) worth. If he's trying to make a living from the land, he could actually be right about that. So it might be best to just wish him the best of luck and move on.

    To be fair, TaiwanGun and GunFire gear might take on collector status soon.

    Can anyone spot short / stubby / Vietnam style M4 mid cap mags in stock anywhere at the moment?  E.g. the Battleaxe 110rnd metal or plastic ones. They seem to be out of stock most places

     

    Fat Bobs have high caps at £13 plus £6 postage which would be the fallback option, but I'd prefer mid caps.

     

    Bespoke has 20 round real caps which are a milsim too far.

     

    I've currently looked on:

    Patrol Base (the best selection and prices if they had any, which they don't)
    Airsoft World
    Land Warrior
    Arnies
    Bespoke
    Fat Bobs
    Bullseye
    Ammo Drop
    Zero One
    Targets Zone
    UK Airsoft
    And even the BBGunz4U shower.

      I grabbed a couple of EPM1-S's a fortnight ago, been waiting ages for them to come to the UK. Got mine from PatrolBase. Crazy how many BB's for such a small mag.

      They do look pretty good, I might hold out for a restock.

      Fire Support have just restocked with 10x M16VN 80rd low caps.

  15. Rogerborg
    That is fully relatable.

    Nice job. Fans are the only real solution to fogging, I can sweat up anything less, even dual pane with Revision wipes. Is the mesh hot-melt glued on top of the goggles?
  17. Rogerborg
    Huh, the Mandarin Empire must have given me a decent social credit score, I've been getting stuff from AliExpress within 2 weeks, and under a week on one case. Given the absolute mare that folk seem to be having importing stuff from the continent or the colonies, I'd still rather gamble on our Chinese overlords, if for no other reason than the sheer volume of tat flooding in from there probably swamps the fun police in Border Farce.
  18. Rogerborg
    Edge 2.0s start at £200 and upwards, and that's if they were in stock which they don't seem to be. That's my total budget, and I've come in under it with the DMR barrels, cylinder and spring. I know that Specna's QC and OEM have been patchy, but the EDGE 1 has all the parts that I want, and I'm prepared to take a gamble on the bearings and gears holding out for a bit. I'll be sure to flag up if I've guessed wrong.

    Specna Arms EDGE SA-E02 M933 carbine, my swankiest purchase to date. Mostly decent, one really disappointing part though, full review here:

    That, exactly. I'm sorry to hear you got sucked into that and it's great that you've finally climbed out of the hole. Lenders who aren't charging interest are reliant on preying on people who can't afford to pay it back. Low interest rates are the twigs and leaves covering the elephant trap of usurious debt collection, and it's long past time that this practice was looked into to see what actually keeps these companies going. Rant aside, until that happens, it's a real consideration for 2nd hand sales. And inflation makes interest free credit even cheaper by the time you've paid it back - even if you do have the lump sum up front, you might as well use interest free credit to benefit from that. In fact, the only time I'd use credit now is to exploit it when I don't need it.

    "Then you'll have no problem shining it in your eye, then the eye of its owner, for 3 unblinking seconds, right?"
  22. Rogerborg
    I think it's reasonable enough to the right buyer. That means someone who wants that exact package, and has that money ready to hand. I wonder how much interest free credit offers from retailers are going to factor into that. £750 now versus £100 next month (then the future will take care of itself) might appeal to some. I'm really not a fan of credit culture, but the reality is that it makes dreams come true (at the cost of some future nightmares).
  23. Rogerborg
    Well, bugger, but I'm not at all surprised given the ongoing issues with Border Farce and Useless Parcel Stealers. You think that would be the sort of thing that they might flag up on their site though, I can't see anything about it, and they haven't emailed customers with UK addresses. With the amount that folk are being stung for VAT, duty, and couriers billing recipients for handling that, I did the sums and just ordered from PatrolBase.
  24. Rogerborg
    Except you can knock 4% / £6.60 off that if you leave it in your basket for 24 hours so it's £158.40, delivered. But his comes with 6,000 rounds of "Bad Ass"... aaaahahahah, 0.2g BBs. I'd hope for the sake of my sanity that the postage cost has an extra digit in it. I'm not sure I'd pay £60 for the whole thing delivered.

    STUUUURGEON! [shakes fist]

    I know, it only mentions hospitality, but I'm inferring no change to anything.  Sports only ever gets mentioned as an afterthought.

     

    Looks like indoor airsoft is staying shut until at least November up here.  I'd lay odds that it's not re-opening until next year. If ever.

     

    I've tried to stay away from politics, but this puritan wee bism is loving playing the reluctant dictator, while criminalising more and more things that she doesn't approve of (i.e. fun).  It's the Presbyterian way.
