Retailers, Ranked

GBU 2.O!:open_mouth::thinking:

20 Daffy Ducks.

Frankly not impressed by the young two blokes at X-Force Northlakes. In the past, the front counter staff (minus Miss Personality - thankfully left) were generally quite professional and on the ball, but seems standards have dropped considerably since.

Scott needs to pull these current two into line, esp the dark haired homie with moustache as his approach is just way too casual and unprofessional. Most of the time I see them very casually sitting there on their phones shit talking as if it’s a bro’s social catch-up at the local hang out dive whilst customers are in the store browsing around. Not good, esp when there was kids with their parents hearing ā€˜c#nt’ etc.

Furthermore, I was intent on purchasing a WE Tech 1911A1 MEU (wrap around grips), and was verbally quoted $390 - which I stated was very odd given the RRP was around $450+. However they were adamant that $390 was the right price. Upon deciding purchase and putting it through the till, it was actually $470. I didn’t buy it in the end, and quietly walked out in disappointment.

They might be the biggest, but unfortunately their QC is not the best.

If iHobby are supplying other retailers on a wholesale basis, it’s up to the retailers to do their own QC. They’d be buying straight out of iHobby’s container, boxes sealed.

That said, they should of course do their own QC on things they sell direct.

Can’t speak for everyone who’s had dealings with them, but iHobby have always done the right thing by me with any warranty or quality issues. :person_shrugging:

I wouldn’t even bother dealing with a retailer that doesn’t even state their location.

Besides if their prices aren’t :triangular_flag_on_post::triangular_flag_on_post::triangular_flag_on_post: enough!

Pull your other knob CGB :point_down::point_down::point_down:

WE Tech brand are supply by Tactical Edge Hobbies. They are the sole agent/supplier for WE Tech products and they didn’t explore the vast product line of WE. Losing the edge to all it’s competitors.

How does that relate to the context of my post?

just for your information

Yeah nah I thought I was clear I wouldn’t touch them with a ten foot pole…

I ALWAYS shop around looking for the best price, I can’t afford not to. Even when I do splurge it’s still only on something I’ve researched and found the best possible price on

But cheers

Doesn’t go for all online stores, akgelblastersau is reputable and ships from his home with the return address as a po box, doesn’t mean he’s not legit and he also has reasonable prices, same with stingops, online business, ships from home with a po box return address, have bought from both and received my items in a timely fashion

Obviously caution is advised and references can be saught on the forum on this thread and the odd other thread or two, pays to do your research

Yep I’ll 3rd that even me in a restricted state. I can’t have complete blasters sent, I know that as I keep up with my states legislation as I have to. I have to for my work, pretty simple.

Parts like o rings or nozzles etc, are fully allowed. Pretty simple really.

I know I’ve spent days pouring all over the legislation for my state which is different to other states. As long as I do that and know 150% what is and isn’t allowed I’m right. I know I am. The reputable shops when they changed the legislation I emailed my licence direct to them no worries so they wouldn’t get in trouble just for accessories as they were still working things out for half a year amnesty etc. Went not too bad I thought. Better than nothing.

@shadow187 Yeah nah I thought I was clear I wouldn’t touch them with a ten foot pole…
