Great. I ordered a new HPA tank for my gun from pbgear about a month ago. Finally they ship my stuff. With the luck I have, I am going to have the chance to play ball this weekend (I live 2hrs from the nearest field currently. Makes it hard to play often...). So now I have to hope I can borrow a tank off someone or I wont be ballin for a while more. I don't like my luck...:(

So I'm wondering, what's the longest backorder you guys have had?

pbgear is horrible on backorders i think i ordered some stuff and they say if the main stuff is in stock they'll just send that and send the smaller stuff later well my gun (spyder amg and some accessories)was all in stock the only thing out of stock was a pack extreme rage, i think (this was over a year ago so i forget) I ordered in september and by feberurary i gave up NOTHING came. I ordered some stuff that was in stock and ended up getting that in about 2 weeks. For the next 7 months or so i would check and the pack was never in stock...

Ordered a tank cover from a1paintballs.com the 25th of December. Hasn't shipped, heck, I can't even contact them. I think I got ripped. Avoid at all costs.

EDIT: almost immediately after posting this I get an e-mail saying it's too far on backorder and they credited my account.

You can't fault pbgear.com for the backorder on the Extreme Rage pack. Their packs are made in Taiwain, and they were held up in customs forever due to SARS. We waited on ours directly from ER themselves and it took like 3 months.

I waited an extra week for my barrel, that's it.
My friend was waitign over 2 months on the backorder list for a bko on pbgear, he cancelled that and has a cocker now:rolleyes:
I never had a backorder, they just sent me two orders of the exact same stuff. damn pbgear.

Nearly a month on Logic Paintball..

Other then that, I am extremely impatient with backorders. If it gets backordered, i'll cancel it and buy elsewhere..

If pb gear backorders something, but sends out part of your order aren't you responsible for the extra shipping costs? I seem to remember that.. it irked me, why was it my fault something got back ordered and why should I pay for it.

issue of facefull, 12-vt revvy and a pair of small jt gloves.

None of which I could use. I needed a jt proteus. (still took them a while to get it to me...)

Yeah, I sent them back... this was like 2 years ago...
Already had a revvy, already read that issue of faceful, and I got big hands... :p
None of it would have done me any good, so...

It would be cool to other somthin that worth 5 bucks in pbgear.com and they send u the wrong thing which is a very expensive gun. That would be a dream com true!! lol

I dreamed one night that someone sent to me like 5 x-mags by mistake but oh well.
