What is the best place to buy paintballs online?
Im looking for quality paint, low prices, and good shipping.
Any specific type of fall/spring paint that is really good from your supplier too?
I love Zen for summer, but I need a fall/spring blend to start using.
I don't play in the winter, I just mod so I don't need any paint then.
Thanks in advance!

I've never bought from them, but they seem to have a big selection. www.paintballonline.com

I disagree with you there Twistedpsyche, I check ed em out and they have less than 25 different blends and they don't give you any information about size or blend. Prices looked ok, but Im not that big of a connoisseur of paint.

I pretty much buy exclusively from actionvillage.com now. I've bought from them four or five times, and the packaging has always been great (like, "the paintballs are packed inside giant bubblewrap stuff" great). The shipping always arrives within a week, too.

Their prices are fair compared to everywhere else, and if you buy more than $100 worth (which is only 2-3 cases depending on what you're buying), they don't charge you shipping.

Oh... and they've never been out of stock for more than a day or two, and whenever I've sent them emails, I've received responses within 24 hours.

Anybody like e-paintball.com? They seem to have some sweet prices on top notch paint.

I buy from Firstcall Paintball on Ebay. They have pretty good prices when you buy 4 cases at a time. The only downside is they dont have a lot listed at any one time.

Whatever you do, never buy paint from Order Paintball.

Actionvillage, hands down, the best of all. Free shipping over $100, great prices, and never fails me. The only problem i had one time wasnt even a problem, i received a pair of pants i didnt order :)

I've never ordered paint from actionvillage, but I know someone who buys 40 cases of Marballizers from them annually. He says he's never had a problem with them. I've also ordered from them 3-4 times and it's always been hassle-free, inexpensive and really fast shipping.

Can't go wrong with them.

DXS paint has always been good to me. I typically buy Bronze or (if I've been really good) I treat myself to Silver.

ive got to hand it to firstcall paintball. My last order was placed on a sunday and I recieved it on tuesday. I was amazed. They are located in Va so shipping to the east coast is fast. Great customer service too. Ive ordered many times from paintballgear.com aka action village with only 1 broken ball out of probably 20 or more cases. either way you cant go wrong.


Since we are talking about paint, anyone know a good place to buy bulk field paint? Probably 25 cases+

i normally buy cheap stuff. Zap spank or cryptic is what i buy. i have always liked Zap paint. they r cheap and rarely have any problems with them. i really liked the cryptic, but the spanks were good also but i did get a bad batch that were soft but my gun still fired them without breaks.

AVI is pricey imo. They charge $60 for marbs while firstcall charges $45 if you buy 4 cases.

Though I have never ordered it from Action village I've used DXS Midnight. Actually it's usually all I use. I get it from my local store for the same price as action villag, so really no point buying it online.

Typically it's a good paint. Breaks on target, not in the gun.

I buy my paintballs from Hustlepaintball.com

They only sell ZAP paint, on 2 kinds of paint if you buy 4 cases you get one free. Free shipping and a no broken balls guarantee. They sent me a bad batch once, I called them and they sent me 5 cases free to make it up.

Where are you seeing a four-pack of marbs for $45/case on FCP? :confused: This is what I see.
