Where to buys accessories from?

[Sammy Sandbag]

I need to get a few things (ASA, hopper, etc) and searching online is driving me mad. I'll find one place that has one of the items, but not the others and so on. I'm trying to get as much stuff at the same store to cut down on shipping. Buying local isn't much of an option.

So far I've found that Xtreme Paintball has nearly everything I'm looking for other than a HPA tank. But they seem to have multiple websites, which concerns me.

They can be found at http://www.anythingxtreme.com , http://www.xpaintball.biz and http://www.xpaintball.com . The first two appear to be identical, but that later is a different, and they have some items that the others don't have. Obviously I can call, but I wanted to know if anyone here had any experience buying from them.

Also, if you can recommend any other reputable online retailers or comments on the following.

So far I've searched: paintballgateway.com zephyrpaintball.com actionvillage.com hotshotpaintball.com

Thanks in advance

I would try to buy used. There are some really good items for a fraction of the price and they are guaranteed to have them in stock. Most of the online stores have to order the items in before shipping them to you.

I'm constantly checking the online classifieds, but sometimes it's just easier to buy new and know what you're getting.

Thanks, I actually looked through that before, and is how I found a few of these places. Problem is that I have no idea if they are good or not (quality customer service, fast shipping, ect.)

Any comments on Xtreme?

i actually have never dealed with them b efore because i have found everything i have ever needed from here or on ebay,ill use them as last resort

[SR_matt]

try actionvillage.com they have most products. if you cant find all at one place you might jsut have to find 2 places that togeather have everything and pay a little mroe shipping

what tank are you looking for? most tank compaines will sell direct (at least corssfire and guerilla do for sure, i think others do as well)

Personally, I prefer to shop online at these sites:

County Sports (http://countysports.com/)
Action Vilalge (http://www.paintballgear.com/)
Compulsive Paintball (http://www.compulsivepaintball.com/)

Try 'em out, I've had good luck with all of them in the past.

I'd trust Action Village. I've never actually ordered anything from them, because I just drive out to the warehouse and buy everything in person. So if you are worried that it is some weirdo running a business out of his shed, I can speak to the fact there are many people there (you have to walk through the call center if you have to use the can).

I asked for some paintball stuff for Xmas (imagine that.) and I pointed my family in their direction. They didn't mention any problems with the service.

I have also ordered from anythingextreme and doropaintball have no complaints.

ive ordered a few hundered bucks from AV and gotten it shipped to me, no problems at all.

I keep hearing good things about ActionVillage, but they seem to have very little in stock right now.

[SR_matt]

well its kind of expected being the end of the holiday season and depending on exacts some times you get taxed on waht ever you have in stock as of the first of the year. they should be stocked up again in a few weeks

Yeah, I kinda figured that's what it was, but just wanted to make sure they weren't like that all the time. Some of the lesser known/recommended sites seem to have a lot more, but I don't like going some place that isn't heard of much.

I've had many good experiences with ActionVillage. Alot of their stuff is out of stock, but they have such a big selection that you can usually find what you're looking for if you're willing to go to a different brand. They have alot of really good deals. Plus, if shipping time isn't an issue, they do free shipping over $80. If you can't find it all on actionvillage, you can do $80 of it there and get the rest somewhere else and shipping will be covered.

I have also used Xpaintball, and it took them so long to ship my marker that I forgot it was coming. It wasn't backordered on the site. I just assumed it shipped, so I forgot about it. It showed up about a month later...

I have ordered a few items from anything extreme and can say I had no problems. Everything went quickly and smoothly. They also were nice enough to get in contact with me regarding my credit card to not have a case of identity theft. I was shipping to my Parents house and not mine as a gift for my little brother. As for Action Villiage they are also very good and quick to process your order. Either one is a good option
