Amen to that paintbattler

[pbguy888]

Gosh thats wierd Ive ordererd probly around $1000 and never had any problems at all.Guess im just lucky.

Actually I have never had any trouble with Pbgear. I've also placed about 17 orders with them over my career (so to speak) and the only time they did anything that was bad was in my very first order when they "forgot" to ship my mask.

[meanelvis]

i've gotta agree, i cant say much for their customer service.

50% of my 4 orders from them were wrong in some way (once they sent 2 of everything i had ordered!), and 1 order that i ended up cancelling was put on hold by them without notifying me.

from my experience, and that of quite a few others, shopping at pbg is a hit-or-miss gamble. my e-business goes to county these days.

[PaintballSucka]

also when I cancel orders they dont cancel them!

[darklord]

I like PB gear/actionvillage.... haven't had any problems. Just make sure that the stuff you are ordering is labeled "In Stock"....otherwise you might not see it for a long, long time. Also for some reason PB gear likes to open things up and none of the stuff I've ordered has been in original packaging, with a few exceptions.... it's all been in ziplock plastic bags. Other than that the stuff I've ordered from them has come on time, and I haven't had any problems.

I have ordered lots of stuff from pbgear and have not had any problems,also alot of my friends have ordered from them and have no problems at all.

Well lets continue the story. Today I was notified by customer service and they gave me the story. The tank had actually never been in stock, they had made a mistake, they would get it and ship it out next week. Yadda yadda yadda. Well I got kind of pissed off after I sat down and thought about this, I mean essentially they charged me for services they did not provide, and thats kind of illegal. So I called back and spoke with someone else, and they told me that the tanks WERE in stock, and that she would ship one today or tommorow, and placed a new order for me.

Im in a circle of lies, not to mention it appears with the new order number the lady gave me Im going to be paying for shipping again. If I get charged a ****ing dime more, well I may do this anyway. I think Im going to call up Mr Discover Card INC. and sick them on PBgears asses saying that they charged me for services they did not render, then when I get my money back go buy the tank from Boston Paintball Supply or some store that carries a tank thats comparable. Im sick of dancing around playing phonetag. Stupid PBgear.net.

[darklord]

Boston Paintball? Man, I go to BP when I need my tanks filled, or I need to buy paint or something. They rip you off at BP. Seriously I saw a boomstick at Boston Paintball for something near the price of $150, and keep in mind that's not even the titanium kind.... if you're going to try a different PB supplier, I wouldn't recommend BP, I'd try places like paintballarmory.com and countypaintball.com beforehand.

[MCollier]

The thing about places like BP is negotiating with a manager. I know they sell the freak kit at around 240-250, but my friend called the manager and he ended up purchasing a Freak Kit, JT Flex 7 Thermal, and a 12v Revvy all for 310$, which is a very good deal from a store. I went to the BP store and salisbury and they didnt have much, and the field wasnt looking that great. Since PBGear.com finally shipped out my tank, and they say it will be delivered Tuesday, ill wait and see what happens.

[DiRTyBuNNy]

Shopping at PBGear.net is like making a big order through a drive-thru window at McDonalds...you're never quite sure what you're gonna get till you get home...you ordered Fillet-o-fish, get a Big Mac...you want fries, you find a Salad in there..oh well...even though it's sometimes a couple of bucks more i just order from the manufacturers..if not i go through 888-paintball...always been good to me..i was miffed when something wasn't upgraded to 2-day shipping..but it would have been a free upgrade anyways so oh well..

[SlipknotX556]

I never really had a problem with Pball gear. I just ordered a Large redz gear bag from them, it was in stock and I put 3 day shipping, hopefully ill get it.

[Raptor3359]

i have bought all my gear from them. My gun, mask, tanks, hoppers, everything never had a problem. My 2 brothers did the same thing and everything went right. I parents bought me a case of paint from there and it came in fine, no breaks. Prices there r great which is y i buy there. I few years ago they use to reply to my e-mails in a day or less now its pointless e-mailing them.

Good and Bad

I've had had both good and bad experience through pbgear. Once I ordered a Flatline 47 3k for 90 (what a DEAL!). Anywho, they sent me a crossfire 47 3k. So i sent it back, told them, and they said the flatline was out of stock (wow, this is how they ALL start). So, to make a stupid story short, after talking two 357 people, 12 managers, and spending several days on the phone, I had the flatline second-day aired to me. Well, they never had it in stock when I talked to the morons, but luckily once they did have it in stock they got it out quick. Other than that, pretty good dealing with them. But, after reading some of these and thinking things through, I will start to buy most stuff at my local store. I just bought a Dye Attack pack 3 tube and the new Dye pants for 100 there (for both items), so prices not too bad. I also NEVER order paint online, cause at the store they check it and stuff, and really you don't save much online because shipping can really cost a bundle, and the prices just keep going up. Man, 10 bucks to ship a mask. Well, there's some advice, but, all-in-all Pbgear.net is the best paintball site on the net, period, end of discussion, no argueing.

[PaInTbAlLeR476]

i like a couple of other members have had good and bad experiances with them. (mostly bad) First the Bad.

1. i ordered my TKO from them and was very excited w/ the mag i ordered a parts kit 10" dye SS,and an elbow. Well 5 days lateri get the order no barrel. I call em up. Te guy i was speaking to said that the barrels were never made and were never going to be made so he didnt know why they were on the site. Of course i beleived it to be BS so i cancelled it. Next day i went to 888paintball.com and what do you know????? 888 JUST added it to there web site. BS on pbgears part.

2. Ordered a 88/4500 PMI n2 tank from them(said it was in stock), and a titanium colored TKO drop(also "in stock") 2 weeks later i call tanks not in stock the guy says they are getting more in tomarrow so i wait. 5 days later i call and NEITHER the tank OR the drop is in stock. SO i say fine cancel the tank and send me a diff color TKO i got black. 2 monthe later i decided to find it the tank were in stock yet(by this time i already had my ND tank) nope STIll not in stock.
Good

1. MY mag came somewhat on time.

Conclusion

If you have questions for them NEVER EMAIL THEM they never get back to you. ALWAYS call

Conclusion number 2
I am never going there again. Since that last problem i have never visited the site. this took place on chritmas day this entire ordeal. My spyder broke so my parents gave me 200$ to help towards a new gun(i had 300 so i wanted to get a couple nifty exras) yeah screw pbgear i hate em a whole lot.
