            Err.. Correct me if i'm wrong, but don't you pay import tax if you order it yourself from AGD? I hardly see any difference except for the fact it will be on your doorstep faster after ordering, (if they have the parts in stock that is) and without any suprises from your friendly customs officer. I'm in the same boat as you guys, and glad i finally can order it trough Jungle Supplies. Their service is top notch! They knew i was into mags and they contacted me before placing an order with AGD, asking if i needed anything.

            Maybe i'm paying a little extra this way, but this way i dont get to bother with paying those damn customs fees.

                  Well, i live in the netherlands, so customs fees can/will differ from UK customs. I believe it is about 25% of the total cost, one part being customs fees, the other taxes. (19% Tax over here)
                  maybe you can find a site for UK customs and find out the rates on importing luxury items.

                  Unless it has a value over 20 euros in the netherlands... You could get away with the sender labeling it a lower value and gift, but packages do get checked by customs regulary.

                  A friend of mine bought a phantom pump out of the US, and the dutch customs held it untill he picked it up personally, because they werent sure what they were dealing with. After explaining it was a paintball gun and paying duties he could take it home. Ow, and if there's no indicated value of the items inside the parcel the customs officer guesses the value, and almost always not in your favor...

                    when i had my marker shipped from the states here (when i came for school to the uk), the package was marked gift of under and certain amount and marked the label off as used sporting equipment. The royal mail man just left the package with the school and that was that. P.S. Where in the netherlands are you? I was just there 2 weeks ago and I must say its a beautiful country

                      For the record: AGD-USA will NOT label order packages as gifts. We stick to the letter of the law.

                        We have started to import Automags into the UK.

                        At the moment the UK is flooded with low cost electro guns which all the kids are buying. The woodland paintball scene was decemated by SupAir paintball and the promise of TV coverage. Finally the penny is dropping and realisation is setting in that paintball is un televisable and so there is a very big movement back to woodland based tournaments and walkon days.

                        With the domenance of low cost electro's we have been quite tentitive about ordering large quantities of AGD products and have decided for the time being to stick with the non electro markers.

                        We have in stock Classics with ULE bodies and also a mag made specially for us by the geniuses at AGD. Players on the receiving end of paint from these new Mags (we have called the Euromag) have been stunned by the range and accuracy, something that people who already have Mags are well used to.

                        As we go into the new year it is our intention to keep stocks of the Classic and the Euromag and all spares for them. We will also be keeping in stock Level 10 kits, ULE trigger kits etc.

                        Whilst our initial focus will be on the Mechanical side of things, we have no problem in adding any products that anyone would require for any other AGD products.

                        We have also set up a website with the help of Curtis Whalen where customers can get technical help. There is also a link to this forum from there as well.

                            Yes, thing can't change soon enough. We have set up a UK National Paintball Club to promote woodland walkons, big games and tournaments which is gathering momentum and will be very big in 2007.

                            Curtis helped out so much with the website and we thank him very much, he seem to know everything there is to know about mags.

                            My level of knowledge was Level 7, which I played tournament with for around 7 years. With his help the mysteries of the Level 10 and ULE trigger are becoming clear.
