Errr - you sure you should be telling us that?

Anyway, what about the 'smaller' companies - like HPG, Sloth, Conspire, Black Mercury etc etc?

Do they give a 'good' service? Has anyone tried them recently?

Oh - and it's not just paintball companies (no pun intended) that screw up - anyone ever used PC World's on-line ordering system?

if you mean buying straight from dye??? ouch, pretty expensive prices
No I don't ;), cos their website is frankly annoying & confusing & yup, expensive. Their tech support is good though. Eg I told them I needed this part for my marker, & they just sent it me. -None of this 'we don't sell this part seperately' stuff.
We're sponsored by them; but I'd still put Planet above them.

I'm sure they'll love you when they read that.

A friend ordered an 06 Empire Fast pack from Fat bobs and recieved the 05 version....returned it...then proceeded to recieve andother 05 version :rolleyes:

So he was out of pocket on shipping, has no pack, and then couldn't get his money back, only store credit. Yaaaaayyyy for getting screwed around :dodgy:

Thats intersting Rosie..... which team do you play for?

p.s.... for all you peeps out there that think that the prices on the website are expensive.....

We always price ourselves above our dealers. We are commited to supporting our dealers and this is one way that we do that. If you want the best price, you will get it from our dealers and not from buying direct from us.
