Planet Eclipse Retail Store In Manchester…

In the near future Planet Eclipse will be moving its Head Office in the UK just down the road to a brand new purpose built facility in Manchester, England.

Once the move is complete we will be in a much better position to be able to drive Planet Eclipse forward in all departments. Over the last few years the emphasis has shifted away from the retail store to a manufacturing, research and development lab, service centre and distribution hub for the Planet Eclipse range. We have also over this period established connections with several UK based retail stores that now stock the Planet Eclipse range of products. So we now feel that the time is right for us to close the doors on the store and let the other retailers around the UK do what they do best and service the face to face customers on a daily basis. We have not taken this step lightly at all and we have the upmost confidence that the stores in our UK network are much better placed to give the walk-in retail customers an overall better level of service.

The Planet Eclipse web site store will remain OPEN. Internet and telephone mail orders can still be placed and will be fulfilled as efficiently as normal. www.planeteclipse.com

To all of our loyal customer over the 19 years the Planet Eclipse store has been open, thanks for all your support, war stories, memories, do-nuts and for helping us to get where we are now. It’s a sad day for us but this move means we can concentrate more on what we now do best (making kick-ass paintball products) and letting the UK retail stores do what they do best.

So with a heavy heart I’m very sad to say that the last day that the Planet Eclipse store will be open will be Saturday the 30th October. The good news is that on the 30th of October there will be a mega ‘get this stock out of my shop’ Sale. We have a bunch of gear that just has to get out of here and NOT taken to the new place… So stick the date in your diary and come on over and say goodbye and pick up a bargain or two…. (more details nearer the date)..

Just paintball and Phoenix paintball have attended our Tech Seminars so will be able to help you out tech wise. I am sure more of the UK Retailers will be attending our next Tech Seminar to to able to offer you the same level of support.

We will still be teching guns at Planet Eclipse's new head quarters. You will still be able to bring markers to the new facility for service and repair but with prior arrangment only and will be a drop off and collect at a later date service.
