norwalk ct paintball store

[HoppysMag]

Smooth dave_p real smooth. my local store is kinda like that. they are nice and all but they will sit there talking to someone who isnt even buying anything ( cocker jocks goining in to look at all the shinny things no offense cocker owners) then when they do acknoledge your there they over charge you on paint,and air. a 68 3000 psi is like 8 bucks there. but the owner is real nice and they all are but they just need to get their prioritys straight. thats why i work at a field, free c02 cheap nitro, and discounted paint and field fee.

There's also ...

I belive the Norwalk store operateds a website called paintballgeeks. If they are the same, i have filed a complaint with the BBB on them. i suggest not doing business with them. They are incompetent, rude, liars, and all around jerks. BTW they have next to zero knowledge about AGD products

it must be said:
there is a gun/paintball store in norwalk, they have an online store as well, so this potentially reaches far.

every time i go to this place to get something, these people(owners included) seem put out to have to actually look up and take your business.

i am a 33 year old grown man, father of two, work hard every day. every time i go in i buy something, i dont hang around for hours asking questions, i am not a "pain in the butt" type customer. and even if i was i am a customer, period.
this place sucks, they are elitist jerks dont give them your business if you planned to be treated like a person.

Here's my review of Forest and Field Outdoor Specialties located in Norwalk, CT (4 New Canaan Ave) with two websites, paintballgeeks.com and forestandfield.com.

I justed visited the store you mentioned.

I would understand the negative impression all customer would have after dealing with this company.

Experience
When you enter the store, no one's there (no customers... just 1 -2 people manning the whole store).

They actually seem reluctant to help you or to answer your questions.

Bait and Switch Prices
Most of the paintball products don't have prices labeled on them so the prices vary depending on who you speak to.

If you happend to see an advertisement in newspapers or on their websites, don't expect them to give you those advertised prices.

No Refund Policy
They don't tell you this anywhere before you buy.
The only thing you see is "No Refunds" printed on top of the receipt.

Unethical Sales Practice
They have in big signs "Clearance Items" and the products listed below. Ask them how much a bag of paintballs costs (on clearance list). They tell you $14.99, but they charge you $24.99.

Recommendation
Avoid this place. They're unfriendly, unethical, and 100% unsatisfactory.

I bought a few markers from Eastern, and i used to go to them when they were right near the florence griswald museam (my uncle lived in that big brown house i front of it)...i could walk there, but not did my uncle move, so did the shop...i will normally hit up strategy plus nowadays...Grotons a long drive from Voluntown (right on the water though with DUCKS)

I've been there (used to live right up the street). Nice guys from when I've delt with them. Also, it's mainly a firearm store, so you don't have a lot of the arrogant high schoolers you do in many other shops (at least not the last time I was there anyway).

Really? Where? I used to live on Myrtle Street.

hello nieghbor across the pond, i go a pro shop in danbury called paintball plus and the owner is nice and pretty much all the people there are nice. Try going there if you got the time.

I have only had one good experience at a paintball store, in Modesto, CA. They took their time with me and treated me with respect. Generally, I get some teenage-early 20s idiot who doesnt know one thing about customer service. I actually had one clown at Delta Paintball in Concord, CA look at me when I entered the store and tell me "What do you want?" I guess I had interrupted some conversation he was having with some other slackers in there.

would this be CO2 or HP Air? If its HP you know why its blowing dont you. If its why I think, its a safe choice not to go back there.

yeah, they fill the tanks too fast and it shifts the oring in the nipple. i cant believe this old thread is back. i guess they still must suck over there. i havent set foot in there in years. i have good luck with getting my stuff online. i deal directly with indian creek and AGD, and order all my other stuff from C.O. paintball or paintball games of dallas. i get fills at the field. the store in meriden is pretty good and the guys there are all pretty cool. but that other place just sucked.

Paintball Plus in Danbury is a good store. My father lives in Danbury and introduced me to the store. I was only there once, but the people who were there were very nice.
