    Anyone had any problems with Paintballgear.net?

    Anyone? I heard good things about the store, and their prices speak for themselves, but Ive had a ****ty experience with em.

    I was ordering a new tank and mask. Initially I was ordering a 45ci 4500psi PMI tank, but it was backordered. The mask I was ordering was backordered as well. When the mask came in they told me I could speed up my order by switching tank brands. I told them they could switch it to a Crossfire 45ci 4500psi tank if it would expediate things. We were communicating via e-mail up to this point.

    The guy accidently changed it to a 68ci 4500 Tank, and I emailed him telling that he did. I dont know if he didnt get the email or ignored it or something, but it never got changed. I called monday when their customer service was open but I guess it was too late or something, it was already "shipped", so I said **** it, 68 is fine (which it is). The guy said he would work on getting it changed, if he could (there was a chance he could have stopped it from leaving the warehouse). I left him my number and he was suppose to call back, but never did. Credit card was charged, items were listed as shipped, invoice recieved, so I assumed it had gone out.

    The shipping was UPS ground and a 3 day delivery was estimated, and the item had shipped out early on monday. Friday rolls around and nothing is here. Today (tuesday) I decided to call, since my UPS reference number wasnt working (I assumed the link was messed up on the order status page, as a few of the links are broken or direct you to the wrong page). I talked to them today and they said for some reason it was possible, that they may not have actually shipped it. That they didnt have UPS pick it up. I ordered my stuff around May 26th, its now June 18th and nothing has been delivered. Im not very happy. The guy was going to investigate it on the warehouse computer and call me back tommorow. As far as Im concerned they can give me next day air or shove it and give me my money back. Ive waited long enough for this crap to come, should have been here last week. Whatever, maybe this was just a fluke experience, but I wouldnt deal with this store again, even if they have very good prices. Guess Ill be shopping at the various New England Proshops from now on, cuz Im sick of playing telephone tag with various customer service reps trying to get my order straightened out.

      Well once they sent me a 90* fitting instead of a 45* gas line fitting like I wanted, but no biggie it was ok. Other than that their products arrived on time, well packaged and neatly arranged. I gave them the thumbs up... Sorry to hear of your troubles with them though.

          Wow i must say that im surprised that someone had problems with pbgear. i only deal with pbgear or skanline. ive ordered about 3 times from them (not including times ive ordered paint wich is probly 10 or more times) Even though i find them reliable, its sad that everyone else doesnt have the same good experience in dealing with them.

            i have ordered from pbgear only one time, but the order seemed to go through and everything was fine... My bad experience was with acepaintball.com I ordered a 51ci crossfire stubby and got there e-mail, it said that it was backordered(was not shown on site) so i decided to e-mail them back and cancel it. I never got an e-mail back from the telling me that they canceled it, so i sent another. About 4 weeks after the order and cancelation i got an e-mail saying that they had shipped my order. I e-mailed them once again saying i did not order this product and they never responded to that either. It has been about a month know that i have had the tank and i havn't been able to call them because of their hours that they are open. I would not reccomend Acepaintball to anybody... just don't want anybody else to have to go through such terrible service and support, like i did.

                        I have ordered from the over the web, and by calling them. Never had a problem either way. All the complaints about products being on backorder, and not recieving them I just find that it is much easier to call them and place your order you talk to a real person, they can tell you right then if the product is on backorder or available. It is just much easier to talk to a real person, then get some online shopping cart.

                          A more usefull question qould be 'has anyone NOT had problems with PBgear?' .


                          I can't count on one hand the times I have had problems with them. From them sending me the wrong stuff, to just saying they never recieved my payment all together after it was billed on my credit card.

                          its not something that i grasp, its something that i fake, as i'm falling through the cracks
