Damn Buyairsoft.ca
 

Buy airsoft.ca, I have read many threads on how bad they have been in there service, shipping, getting the right orders. But ofcourse I found something I wanted. So I buy a Red Dot Scope. It came in 4 or 5 days. So the timeing was good but I open the box and I put in the batteries and I turn it on. It worked, a few minutes later It just shutoff and I tried other batteries and everything. Then I just tried to mount it in my M4 to just see how it looks because I am going to ship it back to them and get it again. Then I look and they didnt put in the Knob(Sp?) to screw it to my rail.

WTF is with Buyairsoft.ca

hahaha... and on that note I strike buyairsoft from my list of retailers to buy from.

They were already on my list of "loser establishments to avoid." This just reaffirms my early judgement.

you finally caught on.

Yeah, they were worth dealing with when they had their ICS and others.

I guess so

I always find it funny when you hear a story like this. Everyone tells the person to stay and away and yet they still try.... better luck next time?

First off I really must ask why blame buyairsoft.ca for a product not working? If you maybe got 4 of them that didn't work I'd blame them, but do you blame Wal-mart itself for getting a bad product out of the box? Buyairsoft.ca has nothing to do with who makes the products.

you cant expect an ACOG for only $22.50 lol! The same RDS is available from one of my suppliers for $4 each, cheaper than that if I buy more than 30 at a time lol! Yes they SHOULD have checked to make sure all the parts were there just before shipping it out but just like wal-mart, they don't check every product on their shelves.

I've made numerous purchases for mulitple people from them without a single problem to date.

that ill happen

I blame them because of the numorous times this has happened

Like I said before, they should make sure all things are in working order before shipping them but not every company does. When you buy something from a company for $20 when the company purchased that item for only $4 each or less wholesale...

Simply put you get what you pay for....

I've ordered a $319 order from them with quite a few stuff in the shipment.

all worked fine and everything was right.

But I find it very immature of you to blame a store for the product not working, that's the brand/manufacture's fault.

If you want to blame Buyairsoft, you are free to blame them if they won't exchange it for you.

I still havent gotten my "Okay" on the exchange.

You guys have a very strange way of thinking. Its an online store and not the one that you can find in any city at 10min from your home. Have an item exchange (if you can) can take weeks or worst months.

You cant run an online store like this. I dont see anything normal here with missing parts and a non fonctionning item.

I buy all my stuff with ehobby and i have close to a hundred parts and accessories ordered from them and never, i say never i have received a non fonctionning or missing part item.

What is it with some ASC members that always take the side of the store? Do you have some relatives there or what?

Thanks for the infos Mike ill make sure to never do business with buyairsoft. If they cant verified the product they are sending to me then they dont deserve my money.

When you do 100 sales in a day its not easy looking through every single box for every single tiny part. Most of the time it's a simple, open the box and makes sure its not broken in terms of glass cracks and that it powers up, that is all.

Ive run a couple businesses and I know how hard it is getting parcels out on time with people breathing down your neck! You take one extra day looking parcels over before shipping and you get yelled at by the customers for not having the parcel out on time!

The RDS stopped working AFTER a time... so they would have checked it to see if it worked, it did, end of story and it was shipped off. That is a manufacturer defect, no fault of the website.

As for the part missing, that is the fault of the manufacturer although MAYBE the website dropped it while testing to make sure it worked.

The only time Id blame the website for the same problems this guy is having is if the website refused to offer a refund.

Im not taking buyairsoft.ca's side in this because of personal issues, I just know how hard it us to run an online store.

I've had problems like this from online stores such as Hanwei (on swords none the less), walmart, the source, and many more.

IT JUST HAPPENS!

...........often as you can see!

How do you explain then that some retailers dont have that problem at least not as often as Buyairsoft? Ehobby have more than 50000 sales and still take the time to verify everything they sent. (notice thats why they have more than 50000 sales) If you cant hold an order and take the steam and the time it require to pack and ship an item youre in the wrong business my friend. For me its worst to receive a non fonctionning item than receiving it one week later.

Damn it you guys are blaming mike for receiving a defective item, wake up people. At least he have the right to vent a bit.

If it was only Mike....... but thats not the case here i think. If Buyairsoft read this and change their way to do business then we can say we help them to improve. thats all!

edit: some typos

Im not blaming mike, Im just saying blame the manufacturer not the website! Comparing ehobby stock to buyairsoft stock is like comparing airsoft to clearsoft!

The reason ehobby has less problems with defective stock is because they buy BETTER stock to begin with from their resellers!

buyairsoft buys from crappy retailers and thus sells for cheap prices....

Well we agree on something. But now people will know what they are buying if they didnt.

Thats why reviews exist and thats why people come here and post threads. Online buying is not always an easy task and a few heads up are always welcome.

I always like to see ASC members come here and talk about their experience with a retailer, negative or positive. Like i said if a seller cant take negative as well as positive comments they are in the wrong business.

But i agree if you want to go the cheapest way thats what happens. But i still have problems paying $30.00 + shipping for a defective item.

Sorry for jumping on you that way Drache. It seems to me lately that buyers always take a full blast of shit when having a negative experience and i have to admit that im a little tired of that.

well you sure seems to be taking Ehobby's side. And that's a store.. I believe =)

I understand what you are going through as well. Its just as an online seller I see way too much blaming of the company when manufacturers are to blame, is just a little upsetting.

Well yes, Ehobby is just an exemple how things should be made. I mention Ehobby because they are in the few ones that have good services and prices so i tend to promote those stores. I think we all search for that.

But if more and more peoples say that Ebobby often sell defectives items, i will not take their side, i will like to know it and will reconsider my choice and move to another store, even if its a bit more pricey. But there are many ASC members that buy from them with no problems at all.

In most cases i will always take the side of the buyers simply because in these kind of online businesses (any selling business if that is) thats them who are important. If you cant listen to your customers you will miss their business. When i sell my stuff here in the classified i always make sure to keep this in mind and imho there are some stores there that should do the same.

I also often buy from ASC members with good rating, and ive never had any problems with the online stores in the Canadian retailers and International retailers that are in the top tabs too.

If you remember there was a time when people were only buying at those stores. If it was in the tabs it means that you can buy from them and be assure that you get a good service. Now those tabs dont seems to be updated often and with all the stores that pop up in the last years its getting pretty hard to find a good one. So i surely appreciate to have feedback from people who bought from them.

I still dont understand why Ehobby is not in the international retailer tab yet though.

Well so far I'm lucky. I did 2 transactions with them and so far so good!

I would stop there buddy. This is just a few

I really like the speedy delivery and the friendly and prompt replies to my
e-mails. Everything went well when I bought my TM VSR-10 OD clone w/ scope except it didn't come with the scope rings like it shows in the pics on the website. I e-mailed them back and they said they should've been in the box. I looked and they weren't there. Buddy told me to go to Walmart or Canadian Tire to get some rings there. That really pissed me off. But hey, when people are a thousand kilometers away, they can say what they want to me!!!


The gun is pretty sweet though for the price.

Overseas chinese stuff can be hit and miss. Sometimes this happens. But when judging retailers you really have to look at how they handle a problem once it happens - communications, speed of response to your problem, willingness to refund or replace, etc. On that basis one can make a judgement.

I would not make excuses for retailers on the basis of volume or poor comms - those things are ENTIRELY within their control. But drop shipped chinasoft stuff on the cheap, you can't expect the world of. Adjust your expectations of that stuff but hold the retailer accountable for his actions for sure.

Good luck.

I just got an email back fromm buyairsoft.ca. They said that they are not letting e exchange the scope buy are giving a refund.

Its a paintball store that sells airsoft to minors. What you expect?

umm, paitball store??

Please Try to avoid buyairsoft.ca because this does happen often. I'm not saying that they dont have good products. But its taking a chance

Funny story bout Ehobby...order a fuzzy logic battery charger from them..arrived within a couple weeks..Packagin was fine..product was in excellent shape..Only problem was they sent a European power cord with it,Wish someone had a camera on me when I pulled that outta the box..Luckily a home computer power cord worked..aside from that no probs with them and have order roughly a grand worth of stuff.

check the shipping address, domain owner etc. Its a paintball store and has a field also I believe.

Do they not sell the paintball online then?

A European power cord. Wow I would have given the dealer shit

Yep, it's in my perverbial back yard...but locals can't even go pick up the items...we have to pay $20 to get it shipped to us.....which is why I never have ordered from them....

and the fact they do sell to minors has been somewhat of a concern, but there is nothing to be done about that.

just be glad that the aeg's are clearsoft not airsoft

Darwin always wins in the end...

Buyairsoft.ca doesnt only have clearsoft but it does have a numurous amount of it.
