Mikey stop moaning! .......... Don't like it then leave

People that have banners are paying customers, simple as that! If you paid and this happened you would be the first to moan!

so are we allowed to do group buys then?

 

[Flawless]

I totally agree with this and am not moaning Im just clarifying.

If a group buy is from a US dealer is it allowed?

Cheers

Im not neccesarily moaning, I'll continue to buy from the states as its always cheaper for me. All im saying is that small amount that does go on cant affect people that much

Same question here, I pulled mine group buy from the US just in case there would be potential problems anyway.

well i must admit i would prefer to buy things from the UK shops but if they don't have it or it will be like 2 weeks for them to get it in then i get my stuff from the states i use punisherpb at least they have them in stock and it works out cheaper but not all the time their is times it works out the same as buying it in the UK its a personnal choice i think were you buy from but i see were the mods are coming from but what you find with the UK shops they will never price match with the US shops thats my 2p worth

its not about price matching, its about supporting local businesses, how is paintball supposed to grow in the uk if we dont support the business behind it ? Ide prefer to give my money to somebody like Jamie from slothball.com than Hank Cherokee from some american firm. Keep it in the uk, the more we support our uk shops, the more we will be rewarded ie higher stock levels, and larger variety of products

Nice sentiment, but I want my (limited) cash to go as far as possible and as such most of my buying is from the states now, I just can't afford UK prices anymore.

*Edit* I'm not disagreeing with the purpose of this Rule-enforcement

the only problem i have with buying from UK stores is the markup, just paintball.co.uk put some ion ups on the site recently, £34.95 for some red eyes, pfft, you could be 2 pairs at $25 each and ship them over here for the same price, UK retailes know they can get away with it aswell, i know there are inport fees, but they dont get the stuff at dealer rates

simple answer - look at other uk shops - there a plenty about. just paintball does seem quite expensive to me ( no offence intended) but there are cheaper alternatives some shops cheaper for certain things than others just shop around before you go to the u.s.
