Re: ordering form abroad

yeah ordering from far away lands CAN take ages SOME times... swings and rounderbouts as they have stock of stuff!..

most people check uk sites first, find its not in stock then look else where. Most have a rountine in place for orders. site a, then site b etc ..

if multiple places have it, its then who can do it the cheapest with the cheapest shipping, while factoring in how long previous orders have taken.

i like to have google open for on the fly monies converting. And a calculator.

usually getting it next day will trump, saving a few quid in far away lands.

Theres only two sites ive had issues with, a certain banned of ebay, and an armour thats intelligent, the former id use if i had to the later stole my cash and ignore my emails, £80 ill never see again. UK company as well...

Re: ordering form abroad

thanks richardy,wanted to use my pistol at sabre force next week as i want to have a parcially complete and decent loadoat to use,only problem is that the price was pretty low and shipping was free,also no other sites had the item in stock i untill like a week after i had bought it,and a lot of the reviews i read were saying good things,i knew it would take a while,so id ordered it pretty early,4 weeks befor i actually needed it,so i would have thought it would have arrived on time

Re: ordering form abroad

I expect it was out of stock when you ordered it (even though it said in stock) and so they've had to order from their supplier and then send to you.

Just had this problem myself. Ordered an item that was "in stock" to get an email 10 days later saying it's currently in the manufacturing process...

It means they can order in bulk from the factory knowing that they've got guaranteed sales rather than holding stock that's not selling.

Re: ordering form abroad

Usually the aforementioned shop is pretty good, and I've had things arrived within a week!

That being said, last order placed on 21st I don't think has left HK yet....
