Ordering from overseas

Postby EnarahRovaaniik » Mon Apr 28, 2014 7:52 pm

So is ordering from overseas, i.e. ehobbyasia or redwolf, almost 100% safe? Is there really much of a chance of anything getting caught up in the process of importing it, or maybe even the merchandise being damaged?

There used to be issues with customs back in the day.
I've not had any issues in a long time.
Sometimes shit is slow or places(like ebairsoft)will not tell you that the objects aren't actually in stock.
But you should be fine.

So on average how long would it take for something to arrive, assuming it's actually in stock and nothing goes wrong?

It also depends on what you are ordering. An AEG will usually ship a little slower since it's a larger box then say, a box of midcaps.

Where you're ordering from plays a factor as well. Some use different carriers.

But besides that, I've had 0 issues with any overseas order (WGC, Redwolf, Ehobby, ebaybanned, airsoft global, etc)

I'll just be ordering a handgun, albeit a very large one, but should that just be around 2-4 weeks from redwolf?

I have always had good luck, haven't ordered anything recently but I have gotten things faster than things I order in the US

I've ordered a few times. Had a slight issue this time. They hadn't sent my package after I payed, so I emailed them and they gave me a weird answer in Chenglish but it shipped out.
I'm the osiris of this.
