      be sure to call them though, don't do an order over the internet. they usually give a better deal over the phone.

        I havn't used them yet, but I discovered



        They use the technology that I work with on their store which is how I came across it, and I don't even know if it is open, but the prices are very good it seems, and the number of items is impressive.

          Online I shop at Action Village(Paintballgear.com) mainly, but sometimes at 888paintball or i have shopped at paintballwarehouse.com. Also shop4paintball.com seems like a pretty good site.
          Whenever i can though i try to shop at my local proshop(Paintball Atlanta Retail Store). Gotta support the local field

            Patronize Your Local Shops!

            I'm a firm believer in shopping at a local shop. I like to deal directly with people. I've had a couple bad experiences dealing with big online stores.
            My 2 favorite places are...

            Capital Paintball, in Coventry, RI. Great prices, and Dave, the owner, is a real decent guy to deal with.

            Paintball Wizard, in Tewksbury, Ma. Again, good prices, good service, nice people. www.paintballwizard.com

            I feel that even if you have to pay a few extra bucks, personal service is well worth it.

              I agree with supporting local businesses, and still love to buy online to save money if I have done my own research. What I HATE to see is people going into their local store, checking things out and wasting the owners time and THEN buying online. That isn't cool.

                I use www.888paintball.com

                or www.G3PB.com (Terry at G3 Paintball is the best)

                  I usually shop from I&I Sports ( http://www.iisports.com) and Skan-Line ( http://www.skanline.com ). These 2 stores have less problems about order - shipping to Thailand.

                    I ONLY buy from my local store:

                    1.) Support local business

                    2.) If there's a problem you know where to go

                    3.) You can often get better deals or haggle

                      paintballgear.com sometimes will give you a better deal if you call. i got my mag from there, and ended up somehow with an extra $50 or so from what the price online stated. 888paintball is good too. though i plan on shopping locally when the new indoor place opens the monday before thanksgiving (yay! local paintball!) : )

                          Paintballgear.com for nearly everything paintball I've ever bought. Even after sales tax I come out ahead and UPS ground is like second day for me.
                          I try to support local retail shops (I could argue that paintballgear.com is local), but they never have the right color or the right brand etc. and it costs more.

                            another main reason I shop locally is that I live in Canada, and customs is a PITA!

                              I'm just a few minutes from Big Boys Toys www.bbtpaintball.com

                              The owner is, well, not a very personable guy, but his shop is usually staffed with local team players
