AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
I had problems with them, so did Frizzle Fry and only god knows how many others. I used paypal but it still took forever.
What a nightmare that was... The best part was calling CP, sending pictures, and having a guy call me back immediately and scream "What the *****" on the phone as he opened the attached pictures.
I wouldn't touch ANS with a 10 foot pole, which is a shame because I still use their old LVL7 bolts.
That's a shame too.
I don't want to make too big of a deal about it though but i seen some not too good things over at PBN, with the same tracking scam as they pulled on me.
I'm no member over at PBN but there is still some good people over there to help.
And i think it's mostly because they don't have the things in stock like they say they do.
It would be cool if you could go down there Rudz and ask how Christopher Davey's order is doing lol.no joke
Update;
called USPS today and guess what?
NO record of them shipping it back out to me.
The USPS post told me that i should have the new Tracking # that i had request from ANSgear.
It just gets better and better.
Update:
It looks like i'll be getting the blender out just to make sure i can eat my hat haha.
I recieved a Delivery Notice in the mail taday and looks like it's 99.99%ANSgear.
I can't pick it up till tomorrow and i'll keep you guys posted with pictures soon.
Update:
Order Received from ANSGear at 12.30 Pm
Thanks goes out to them.
Order from TheMagSmith was also Received today at 11:15 Pm
and a big thanks goes out to them as well.
I gues i'll start the blender.
I just put in a complaint to the BBB for deveptive ad practices
Company Information: ANS Xtreme780 Chambers Lane, Ste. 210Simi Valley, CA 93065Website: http://www.ansgear.comPhone: (805) 522-8700 Complaint Text The Company modifies paintball markers (guns) with their own body kits and markets the product as an "ANS" branded product in the "ANS" brand section of its website. Essentially a body kit, with another company's gun internals. Meaning the gun tech at ANS had to modify and take apart another company's product, doctoring it, in order to make it the ANS branded product. The product that I purchased had a failure that should have been covered under warranty however and when I called ANS about the product, they said in an email that it is not their product and that I would have to go to the other manufacturer even though the marker is clearly labelled and "ANS Razor Ion marker". The other manufacturer in question is called Smart Parts and the ANS Razor Ion was not placed in the Smart Parts section of products but ANS'. Additionally they have me the run around regarding warranty for the marker. They said in an email which I kept that ANS warranty's "their" products for a year. Then when I showed them proof of purchase, they backtracked and said that the ANS Razor marker was not their product. This is clearly deceptive advertisement. Resolution Sought: Revise and state in each ad it warranty practices for equipment they market as ANS branded equipment. Date Problem Started: 5/21/2010Date of Transaction: 1/21/2010Amount in Dispute: $0.00Invoice Number: 74876Complaint Type: Ad PracticesProduct or Service: Company is a third party distributor of paintball equipment.

As long as "ANS" has been around,... this one you linked for "ANS Xtreme" has only been registered for 1 year with the BBB.
Another thing you could do,.. is report them for using "ANS Xtreme" where it is a registered name with the company "ANS".
Personally I would avoid them as there are many other GREAT e-stores out there.
Sometimes they have crazy deals, and that is the only time I use them now. Some deals are just so great that it is worth the little bit of hassle and poor customer service.
