Luck of the draw. Have a 2" molle pistol belt held by customs because the seller put airsoft in the description

I was nervous about an XM-177 moderator coming in…
Came through okay, but it was definitely 50-50…

I find it weird that I never had an issue with Gelblasters coming through, but did have a few smaller parts cause issues or confiscated, but that was a few years ago now, and didn’t have the higher scrutiny/risks then as there would be these days with the tightening down on Gelblaster legalities.
I certainly wouldn’t be risking hard earned money on a gamble like this 
Yes,have to be honest.And we did pass the custom for 98% of the time from 2021.And it’s not a 50-50,it’s 98-2 
Yeah and we are planning the Australia and USA warehouse.Have to tell everyone the truth before we have stock in warehouses then you don’t need to worry about the 2% risk.Still on the way!!Will get you informed if we have a warehouse in Australia.
and full refund if custom take away the package,but I can totally understand you want to get the gel blasters without any risk bro.No one want to wait for nothing 
Where do you ship from, China, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia or the Phillipines etc. ???

Yes,that’s why I say if the gel blaster is mainly made with nylon,the it’s super safe to pass the custom.If you order a gel blaster full of metal,like 80%- 90% metal,it feels and looks just like a real gun!!then custom will definitely take this away.
From China,the factory are in China.So we get the latest updates.
That’s stupid lol…never write airsoft in your shop is the basic thing.
Yeah cool 
I certainly know from running a Gelblaster Custom Modification business for a few years that there is definitely a cut and dry process when it comes to importing complete blasters and individual parts from overseas suppliers.
You have stated that you 100% guarantee that your products will arrive to your customers, and if seized by our ABF, you will fully refund or resend.
This sounds great to me as a safeguard for anyone here in Australia purchasing your products, but it will probably take a bit of time for a few customers to give feedback as to whether they were able to receive their purchases through Customer, or ended up with having to go down the path of trying to refund/resend anything that the ABF has seized
The P90 V4s aren’t really new… saw this unboxing for them last October. 
Must be taking them a while to make it to Oz.
Here’s another look at them.

The custom will randomly pick some packages to check.If the package is not picked,then it’s 100% safe to go.We can track your package to see how many days did it stay in the custom.If it stays for half a month(for Australia,USA should be like a week),then it’s probably took away.Then we will refund you first.If the package recovered to be delivered and you received your package,then you can pay us back at that time.
Anything picked up/withheld by the ABF will have a letter sent out informing the buyer that they need to provide evidence/paperwork to prove the legality of the product for import, or if not able to provide the necessary documentation in a timely manner, the product will be destroyed.
So the buyer will certainly be notified by mail if there’s any issues with the product, and not have to wait for weeks not knowing what has happened to their purchase.

Yes!Then we will just give a refund if we can’t fix that problem.And let’s see our community friend BME could help us out
Gotta say…
We could try that…
Or, alternatively, we could continue to support the small independant gel blaster retailers that are local.
You know the ones? The retailers who started up at the beginning, put in the hard yards and were proactive about getting the hobby off the ground here in the first place. The same retailers who have actively fought to keep gel blasters legal in Queensland for the last few years and are still doing just that. The ones who are totally invested in this hobby not just financially. God knows enough local businesses are winding up as it is, if we lose the rest due to lack of support we’ll all need B709 permits to buy a blaster.
I question the ethics of suggesting ways to get around legalities of import… it’s a pathway to getting the hobby banned outright. We already have local suppliers who have sweated over the correct and legal process at great expense to their businesses, I believe they deserve our support for that.
This forum should be about sharing information, showing off your kit, helping each other out, having a laugh with mates, not spruking.
Might want to dwell on that for a minute or two.

Very well said, thank you! 
I must say that I treated my Gelblaster hobby business the same way I ran my Hot Rod business when it came to supporting the local economy.
Every product/part that I required was always searched to procure through local suppliers first, then interstate suppliers second, then if unavailable in Australia, then I would have to source from a supplier overseas.
It was never about the cost, but always about keeping the money flowing through our own economy before giving it away overseas.
This is where online shopping and importing of overseas products has decimated our business economies in this country, where people don’t go down the streets shopping anymore, where it’s easier for them to sit on the couch at home, order what they want online and then wait for it to be delivered to their doorstep, and the bulk of their money is going out of the country…… not into our own economy.
Sure it’s extremely convenient, but is also the reason why many shops/businesses are closing in this country and a walk around the shops on an afternoon/weekend has barely any people to be seen on the roads or footpaths……… which is extremely noticeable here in small rural/regional towns

I think it’s pretty safe to say, I contribute a fair amount of money, into the local gel blaster economy😀
That will continue, to be my preferred way to shop, supporting local businesses, with local warranty support.
However, in this instance, the p90 is not readily available.
Ihobby have the V4, for $240.
That’s quite expensive, as xforce were selling them at $180, but are out of stock.
It will probably be awhile, before the the v5 is available in Oz, particularly if it’s in low stock production.
So having decided I want one, in this instance, it’s worthwhile ordering from overseas.
Particularly if it’s half the price, of what I hobby charge.
I am a big supporter of local businesses, however, in this instance, I have no qualms trying out a new vendor…

My psuedo rant wasn’t a criticism of you, BME 
or anybody else you buys from OS, we all do for various things.
There is, however, a right way and a wrong way to buy complete blasters, n’est-pas? My gripe was with the suggested dodgy method.
All good, water under the bridge and all those other cliched platitudes. 
All good…
And I agree with supporting local businesses, regardless of industry.
Good, long term relationships , between client, business, and supplier are the way to go…
Ebaying the crap out of everything, certainly hurts local businesses…
