i never buy paint off of the internet but pbgear.com has diablo blaze for $45 a case and free shipping on all orders over $100, so i was gonna buy 3 cases, has anyone ordered a case off of the internet and had broken balls in the bag when it gets to their house?

If you buy paint over the internet, get it from www.firstcallpaintball.com. They have great, cheap bulk paint specials with free shipping. I had 4 bags (out of 16) broken, and they sent me another free case of paint, no questions asked. GREAT people, GREAT customer service. That's the ONLY place I buy paint online. I don't think pbgear guarentees in-tact paint. They would probably blame broken paint on UPS. Go www.firstcallpaintball.com!

Ive ordered 4cases from pbgear.com so far, and all of them have been packed well and havent had one break. And if you order over $100 worth of paint, you get free shipping. $110 for 2 cases of evil, with free shipping. Not a bad deal if you ask me.

Hey, cdawg, how good are those Diablo house paint?

Fir $128, 8,000 paintballs seems like a good deal. If those balls are decent, I think I may pick up a few cases.

I actually have bought the bulk house paint twice. It really isn't anything special, but it's about 3 bounces on the shell strenght test, and it flies!

thanks, i'll probably buy some pbgear.com paint, up - I can't decide, Diablo Midnight for $42/case or Diablo Blaze for $45/case...

I've ordered several cases of paint from PBGear and I've never had a broken ball. But I may have gotten lucky, I've heard some storys of broken balls tfrom there

I've ordered dozens of cases of paint from PBgear without a single break.

never ordered online, but I shot Blaze at Mardi Gras. My E-Mag LOVED it! It was outstanding paint! :)

I have ordered at least 15 cases from them. The only time I had problems was in the winter (cold). I have had about 4 bags with broken paint out of all of this. With paint over the net, there is a high chance of breakage. But cleaning a bag/4cases or so isn't that bad. My breaks usually only had 1-3balls/bag broken. Simple enough to clean.

I still order from them, but have had some little troubles, out of stock(happens the most)--one small item missing from order, some broken paint, nothing major. There customer service is ok, nothing spectacular. I will continue to order from them.....
