Fav Online Paintball Store

[KC]

I usually don't buy new paintball stuff. But there are a few things I'M just going to have to break down and buy.

Who do you use for your generic paintball needs?
Who do you use and why do you like them?
Any shops you won't use? Why?

[Babylon 5]

Well I try the local pb store first and if they don't have it, I like Action Village. They have have quick delivery and if there has been a mistake they've fixed it for me quickly with no hassel.

Ebay.
Not always but the majority of the time its the lowest prices.
Most all the paintball companies have an Ebay presence.
Some of them ditched their online store for Ebay.
Only place I know of to buy from Sanchez Machine is on Ebay.
CCM has a pretty big Ebay store.
Smart Parts closes out all their discos on Ebay.
Just to name a few.

Depends what you are looking for

Action Village is very reliable
ANSGEAR has excellent prices (especially their deal)
Ebay rocks to find hidden jems

I've used Paintball Gateway and PBWarehouse for some small purchases.

Had an issue with an order with PBWarehouse, because my ship/bill addresses were different, so they called to verify that the order was legit. Good experience imo.

A recent ANSGear was super slow.

ANSgear.com - Generic stuff, but well organized, good prices, and lots of discontinued stuff

airsoldier.com - Cool oldschool bits, used markers, oddball parts

Actionvillage
PunishersPB
MoxiePaintball - ebay store
Firstcall
SmartPartsParts

Made orders from all of them recently and everything went without a hitch. However, dealing with SpecOps is a whole different story. Once they fix my ultralight issues, I will probably never deal with them again.

I use the local shop for anything I buy new. They are a great bunch of guys so I try to support them. They do have a web store as well. www.paintballwizard.com I would have no problem sending anyone there.

[punkncat]

I buy all my used stuff off the forums, and for the past couple of years I try to buy the few things I want new, and paint, from my local shop. Got to help the brick and mortars out or they won't be there to help me.....

I live in Pittsburgh so I been ordering from Central Ohio Paintball from way back in their black and white ads in APG in the mid 90's up to today. Never had a problem. Being that they are close to me, the cheapest shipping option has always only been a 2 day wait.

Let me know what you see that you like on firstcallpaintball.com. I may be able to help you out, if nothing else i can see if what your looking at is in stock. They have pretty descent shipping, although they don't really have any AGD parts they do have AirAmerica raptor rex rebuild kits. Always try to use your local shop when you can though, trust me I know how much the internet has hurt them.

[SaintScythus]

I'm going to have to disagree with Action Village. In general they do not have the cheapest prices, and when I ordered my Vantage mask a long time ago it took a full 3 weeks for delivery. If you are willing to wait and pay a bit more they are good but there are better options.

First-Call Paintball is very good, I ordered my DL Fibur barrel from them and it was at my door in 4 days.

[Old School 626]

I've had good experiences with Action Village. In 4 orders I've had one mistake which they promptly fixed on their dime.

Airsoldier was spot on for the odd ball parts order I did from them.

FirstCall gets a C- for the one order I've placed with them. I ordered and In-stock item that in reality was back ordered so they cancelled the order but never communicated clearly that they did so. Inventory Record Accuracy means something. I bought the item instead from an E-bay store named for some woman.... I forget, but the item ended up on my doorstep just a few days later.

SAK World I will avoid if at all possible. They seem to drop ship everything from it's original source or another source and delivery times can be a crap shoot. I don't know how they would respond if there were ever a discrepancy.

Pbwarehouse is great and so is zephyr paintball. I actually got a personal call from zephyr about an order that I messed up and they corrected it for me.

[deathbypaint1213]

I have dealt with actionvillage a little bit. Their warehouse is located in Illinois and I get a shipment from them at around 3 to 4 days using economy shipping. Their prices could be a little cheaper. I have also dealt with deadlywind and smart parts - both being very efficient. Otherwise, I buy most of my gear new from the local field. I have heard some good things about Zephyr - I know this guy that ordered an ego star frame and they screwed up the order. He called them, got the order all cleared up, and receieved free merchandise.
