I can't get a GBB

1

Had a thought it would be badass to get a GBB Hi Capa or at least some other handgunblaster, now it became something that won’t let me sleep at nights (It’s 2AM btw) simply because I can’t do that. In search of GBB blasters all I found is Australian shops that won’t sell me anything because I’m not in Australia and few dropshipping websites that claim to have worldwide shipping but won’t ship to my country and honestly it’s obvious why but they said “worldwide” so technically I’m allowed to complain

Fine, got in contact with my personal dropshipper who provided me some AEGs before and you know what he said? GBBs are illegal in PRC and he can’t buy me any.

Worst thing that local market don’t offer any kind of GBB gel blasters, despite that airsoft ones are very easy to find and have wide variety.

What am I supposed to do at this point? Honestly I don’t really expect any help, just wanted to voice my frustration

Check with Pistols – AKgelblaster

She has some GBB pistols, but it will depend on the shipping to you and how likely it is you will receive it whether you can purchase them or not.

You’re in Haiti, yeah?

What’s the reason for the overseas companies not shipping to you? :person_shrugging:

Maybe it’s got something to do with appearance laws.

Excuse me, my profile flag aren’t visible?

5

No luck there neither, my country is simply not on the list there too

6

It’s hard to make suggestions when you don’t say what country you are in.

7

My bad… the white stripe at the top of your flag icon isn’t visible on a white background, makes it look like a Haitian flag. :thinking:

So… Russia?

8

He mentioned PRC in his previous comments, which leads me to believe in China somewhere?:thinking:

My bad…… he’s in Vladivostok.

9

Oh. Didn’t think of that. Yes, Russia

10

Russia, yet only a stone’s throw from China.:joy::+1:

11

For real, yet despite of it any package delivery takes a damn month🥲

12

Wow, I guess China already send us a lot of stuff via air and boat so a few blaster toys can fill up a container or something. Not sure how it works.

Must be they come with toys for us and we backfill them with food and coal haha :man_shrugging: :rofl: Just joking around.

It’s actually dumber, since it’s a stone’s throw from China they consider only shipping by cars, but for some reason local postal service don’t want to build infrastructure to receive packages in Far East region so everything go through European ones. Been a problem for decades, all we got is one empty promise in 2015 or something. Genuinely fuck Russian Postal service, they not only ride turtles but refuse to understand concept of fragility

Ouch, mm had had a few failures in the past here with delivery services etc.

You’d think they’d have a reliable rail service for the people between your countries. Well I would of thought anyway.

Says I that my gov shut down a lot of ours and sold it off to private companies in 1994(I better not say what gov that was :rofl:) and they closed it all up, all road truck freight now. Oh now we got no diesel, all grinds to a halt.

Idiots, have such a chance to prosper but blow it on going green or some other pie in the sky idea. Hydrogen, blow billions on that, Batteries, this that the other. Can’t even charge their cars up to go away for the weekend.

We just dirt bike ride down the railway lines now. :rofl:

People are flogging the sleepers and railway xing signs, be a hell of a job getting it going again out here when it is something we relied on going back 200yrs. Can’t even get a road fixed as it’s chopped up by overweight semi trucks that the bloody gov just announced they will be allowed to carry their max load due to fuel shortage, jesus some of those load over 60t truck and trailer smash our shit roads to pieces :rofl: :rofl: see if I care I’ve got a 4wd, bloody idiots. I’ll send them a bill for new shocks and tyres :rofl: :rofl:

Sorry for the rant, but that’s some of it, we employ the gov to provide us services. Not the other way around.

Not all doom and gloom, just set your forward goals and aim for them as much I get constrained I survive, by the skin of my knees some times. No wonder no young people want to try this unless born in to it.

You are located right on the border, and yet I’m south of one of the MOST remote cities in the whole world and can get shipping from China within 2-3 weeks………… and about 2 of those weeks are spent travelling across the entire width of Australia to get here!

Anything from Singapore,Taiwan or Malaysia is sent straight to Perth here on the West Coast and have been on my doorstep within under 7 days from the time of ordering.:flushed::+1:

16

I frequently get orders that cross China, and fly to Australia quicker than they make the trip an hour drive to me!

17

LOL I’ve had that too. Still the best one is when my new phone did a whole freaking lap up the east coast, even went over to Perth then on to Brisbane via Adel, zoom there it goes, and disappeared. Guess I bought it for you guys haha.

I was following the tracking, hang on a minute I’m over here guys. Even the retailer and courier company couldn’t work it out so they just overnighted me another. Hilarious. I was spewing, where’s my bloody holiday around Australia :rofl:

Since it turned into grudge on shipping instead of what this topic about, I think it would be ok to share a story that would fit this discussion.

Once upon my obsession with certain musician got to the point I decided to get their official merch no matter what. What would you do? Pay, write down the address and wait. But that’s not the case for me.

Pay
Russia is under SWIFT ban and also Visa/MasterCard local debit cards are disfunctional overseas. All new cards works under different payment system, but has exactly same problem.

How did I manage to get over it? Certain local telecommunications corporation providers help with casual payments that became impossible to do by your own, for my case the only option was one-use American virtual cards. I dunno where they get those, but it worked. But it didn’t cost the amount card actually had, that’s how $60 price turned into $100

Delivery
Most first world and some third world businesses are either legally not allowed or can’t do anything with Russia, (including this forum, I can’t access it without VPN) so on delivery tab it is simply not on the list. Thank God there’s two dropshippers who ship me goods and one of them agreed to become the middleman in this. They gave me address, I paid some dimes for delivery, and started waiting.

Wait
There’s another dumb thing going on. I expected it to go like this.

But the package was sent to Germany, and somehow (I don’t remember how and looking at map I can’t even assume how) got to China. From China to me… I told you before.

In total it took 2 months.

Was it worth the wait? Nope. Print quality is the worst, hoodie is in big-enogh-to-don’t-stuck size despite I picked size two times bigger than mine, I’m late for starting a refund process, and the worst thing nobody recognises this merch in public. Too niche I guess.

Moral of the story: be grateful for your country not being hated on geopolitical arena

I know a online pal who is studying in Belarus.
He often goes to local club attending airsoft games.
But when he gets back China, his balsters and replicas just remained Belarus
