5 WORST PB companies

[jenarelJAM]

I too have never had a problem with actionvillage. Everything is shipped fast, I get tracking #'s. They give free(but slow) shipping over $80(even paint), and they package the stuff nicely, lots of padding. About their out-of-stock stuff, just don't buy stuff out-of-stock. It's not that hard. They have 13 different brands of ____, in 4 different colors each. I'm sure that you can find one that will work, even if it's not your absolute first choice.

My hated store is Xpaintball.com, they sold me a shoddy Xstream, I had to pay return shipping for the exchange. The replacement was shoddy, again I had to pay return shipping, this time for a return. $30 of shipping and 4 weeks later, I still hadn't used my new emag and I still didn't have a tank. Then I called Tuna and he helped me out.

And I can't remember for sure, but when I bought my Spyder Imagine around two years ago, I think I bought it off Xpaintball.com, and it took 3 weeks before they shipped it. They didn't mention it was backordered when they took my money.

You cannot lump TAG with Devils Den. They know each other, and Devils uses TAG boards, thats about it. I understand your point but it is not fair to lump companies together like that.

They're also screwing over Logic with Pred II boards.

You can still not lump TAG with Devils Den, like I said before.

SP wins my vote for the worst ever, just for being greedy bastards and ruining the game with their "me-first" attitude.

WGP-only because they sold out. It makes sense for your own personal well-being, but Bud Orr must be having a few sleepless nights after looking at what they've done to the cocker.

Brass Eagle-$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ is all that matters. Remember their masks with the thin lenses that broke? When asked about them, they said they didn't believe it was enough of an issue to redesign the product. The ASTM soon told them otherwise.

Honorable Mention(disappointments)

AGD-After all they've done for the game and the products they create....they just pack it up and leave us with all the other money grabbing companies.

Triggernomics-a company with some good ideas, but not enough fuel to take off with it.

Actionvillage is great, my buddy's dad ordered like $300 worth of stuff from there a SS freak kit with SS back ect, they sent him 3 SS freak backs and 2 SS freak kit inserts.

Al Mollick and Porno Paintball...

Probally the worst hack of a customizer ever. Lets just say electronic cockers involved piano wire...

I've placed at least 4-5 orders from Action Village. While they've never sent me the wrong thing, there's been a backordered item in every single order that they wanted to charge me additional shipping for. Eventually, I got the hint and started to be very careful to wait until everything I wanted to order (or at least the stuff that I didn't want to save for my next order) was in stock. Later, I got the rest of the hint and started avoiding ordering things from them altogether.

Anyone consider the that the likely reason action village is always out of stock is because as soon as they get some stuff it flies out in a couple of days. I would wager that they get a certain alotment with each shipment, just like other companies, but their popularity has the end result of making a lot of items unavailable until the next shipment.

Good store IMO. They are essentially standard bearer for online pricing of pb goods, and as long as what you order is in stock you will have no issues. Correct me if I'm wrong but I also think you can choose to hold shipment until the entire order is in stock and then (because they only have to ship once...) they charge you once for shipping.

Well I would have to say K2 just for the horrible lack of quality thats been appearing in new cockers.

And Cushman. Im sure you dont know who that is, some guy made vacuum molded plastic "dress up" kits for Tippmanns and stingrays. They looked HORRID. I mean truly and horrificly bad, imagine taking a real gun and shrink wrapping black plastic over it, thats how these plastic kits looked. He used to post on the Tippmann Forum alot and blatantly pimp his stuff. When people on the forum questioned the quality of thin plastic kits over your gun, and told him how bad they looked, he flipped out and went on a flaming rampage.

Walmart- Way overpriced, cheap good, lack of knowlege of the sport.

Smartparts- Horrible quality control, but decent markers.

Phychoballistics, there is nothing wrong with them. Also just to let you know they purchased a large order of Dye's UL Cocker bodies. They were then used on the Lightning autococker.
They were really Dye bodies, but they were lower quality.
