HELPPPP!!!! 007AIRSOFT
 

Hi. I ordered my KSC .45 USP about 2 MONTHS ago and still have yet to received the pistol. Ken has been easy to work with however recently he has not replied to any emails and i have already paid a 200 dollar deposit!!! does anybody know what the hell is going on or have had a similar experience? THANKS!

The fact that you put a deposit means the gun wasn't instock. If he had to order it in just for you it's pretty much expected it's going to take up to several months to come in with his next order.
If you don't order from instock items it's best just to not think about when it's coming and just be surprised when it gets here. Thats how it is when their are 2 dealers for the whole country

I ordered a gun that wasn't in stock and it took a little over two months to arrive. Be patient, you'll get your pistol. Just don't bug the guy and he'll let you know when it arrives. I'm thinking of ordering a new toy myself and have no qualms about getting it through Ken.

Yeah. I ordered my MP5 about four weeks ago. I'm in no rush to get it, even if I think about it everyday.

I'm editing your title because making statements such as yours is considered libel and grounds for restitution against charges for defamation of character.

Next time, be a bit more careful about the wording you use, and make sure you've cleared issues before making such inflammatory accusations against good businesses and people.

For your first post, you're already not off to a good start. I suggest treading carefully.

Ken's a good guy and $200 isn't something Ken is going to skip town over:confused:

Ask for your money back if you can't wait.

or try an email asking the status of the order...

you gun will come in next week ken told me (cause i'm on the same order) that with all the places being outa stock and shipping.

you should be ready to wait a bit with what airsoft is like right know.

Indeed. From what I hear, he makes a good penny retailing airsoft guns.

You think mine'll be in that order too?

lol sry guys i have no problems with ken himself hes a great guy from the beginnin nice to deal with jus lately didnt reply so i was wonderin wut was goin on plus gettin a little jittery from the waitin time! no offense meant to all u guys =] thanks for the quick replies lets my conscience sit nicely

sry nik i was only asking about my gun.

madlz, how old are you?

In my honest opinion, people who get a GBB as their first or only gun often get it for all of the wrong reasons (Plink targets in back yard, carry around to intimidate people, pretend its a real gun, etc.) Lots of kids toting around airsoft pistols in my area (Markham, near Pacific Mall...) pretending they are the real deal.

You can't really game with just a GBB. If you're sincerely interested in the sport, you'd pick up an AEG of some sort.

Not saying that he's going to mis-use it, just throwing the idea out into the open.

lol man you guys are harsh quick :p nah its not for stupid stuff like that! believe me if i wanted to act like a thug i would just buy the real thing lol. im an avid scenario paintballer and i want to try to get into airsoft because its more real! its more rare than paintballin in toronto (ontario) so im gona start off with a GBB... i had to work for all that 380! when i finish up summer i should have enough to buy an AEG so i can have 2 guns =]

Anyways this problem is solved so u can lock the thread if you want :cool:

PS: anyone know where i can find airsoft events or even an airsoft field in toronto / GTA?

Yup, in the "airsoft events > Ontario" forum/section. Simple, eh?

I don't think that is True at all, In fact many of the people who got their start into airsoft at TTAC3 in Toronto... (I stopped counting after 100 new first timers ) started out with a pistol and 2 mags... which is all you need to play indoors... many caught the bug with no more initial investment than a paintball mask, a pistol and 2 mags... total cost less than $400 .. and a lot of those have gone on to buy a lot of guns and gear after they knew that they enjoyed the activity and could justfy the expense..

The bar does not have to be all that high to get started.. Although I agree that it is not really practical to play outdoors with a pistol...

yeah, i spent a year with simply a pistol and my paintball mask at TTAC3. nothing more fancy than a hoody for "gear". I didn't have the money to get an AEG, and all the other crap needed to keep it running, as well as to be able to play outdoors. i still feel much more comfortable and fluent with a pistol than I do with any sort of long gun.

Common guys enough with the crap talk.

What someone choses to play/do/buy is not up to you to decide if it's right or wrong and he shouldn't play because blablablablabla.

You can certainly chose to help him decide, by posting suggestions and all of that, but going on a witch hunt only shows one thing. That you are unfriendly :(

Some people need to be a bit more friendly... it's a team sport/hobby, no reason to go hunt down someone because all he has is a pistol (thats just one example).

Not everyone has $1000-$2000 to spend to start airsoft.

I didn't get that impression at all.

Anyone with a Desert Eagle should be satisfyed. You just feel so badass when you've got a pistol that is comparative in size to some of the AEG's out there...

Mmmmm...hand cannon. Mine scares me:D

I started off with a TM Desert Eagle. The only reason I didn't feel badass was because it was...EBB....:shame:

damn nik well if that is u in your avatar then ur badass now!!

Anyone will look badass with a big gun and a moustache. Especially chicks.

Thx for the mental pic...

No, thats not me (a guy from Britian). I'm not that badass...yet. I'm waiting on my first AEG (hence why I was wondering about my order being in Ken's next shipment). However, thanks to the miracle of the gear section being for every one (not just age verified people), I'll be bad ass in no time.

Ken did not rip you off. I ordered in april from him and paid in full. Received tuesday. Don't sweat it.

Any time I've dealt with 007.Never had a problem. Ken is a great guy.

Yeah. I've entrusted $120 to him before, and most recently $860 (ouch).

So does this mean the whole customs thing with ken was resolved? If so he's back in business right, ive been gone a while.

Apparently. But he has limited supply of guns available, still...another retailer in a very small industry = :)

Yeah. He can get you your gun, but he keeps nothing instock (gun wise). It's simpler that way if you ask me.

If he gets raided, and has nothing there, he won't lose any money. Wow, it almost sounds like we're talking about drugs :D

At the last game I was at I was talking to someone that told me Ken is now importing through a licensed arms dealer, and is thus highly unlikely to get raided. I haven't heard anything to this effect from anyone else though.

Okay but who else has order from him? Because I want to order something lol.

I have. It's been about 5 weeks now, but it should be arriving soon.

Ditto. It'll five weeks tomorrow since he confirmed payment.

Great guy to deal with. i got a $850 aeg from him about 3 weeks ago and it wasnt working, Sent it right back under the warranty and its being repaired right now. He isnt one of those guys that is going to try to find some loophole around things, he's a very honest guy.

One thing is that he gets tons of emails a day from tons of people about little things like,"wheres my gun" and "how much does this cost". And when that accumulates, the emails take longer to process and get through. Really, when you got questions like that and you want them answered now, you might as well pick up the phone, pay the 20cents or w.e for long distance if applicable and ask him, it will only take a minute of your and his time, and you get instant results!

WTF?... Now id love to hear wtf is up with that... What brand was it? What gun was it?

Interesting, is he taking orders from WGC or UNcompany or Redwolf?

From my understanding, he was ordering it from Redwolf.

Thanks Illusion, time to slap money down and order ! LOL

ken is the MOST stand guy i've EVER dealt with.

thing is with ken he really cant keep anything in stock. because what ever gets ordered as either been paid for or has been claimed for before the order is sent out. but there is a wait time.

i ordered back in early April and if ken was not the most amazing/understanding guy around i wouldn't have had a pistol for the JOC 24 hour game. i tolded him another small time dealer in calgary had the KSC USP .45 in stock and that i would like to get my money back to go pick it up so what does ken do? ask me for the other guys number so he can call him and explain what was going on and that he would deliver the funds for my gun to him personally so i could pick it up later the same day.

to me thats THE definition of customer service.

great customer service and good smith skills, now if only he could learn the rules of a dead man and he would be great.

Yep, Ken is the kind of guy who is doing what he is doing for us, the airsoft community, not for himself.

nice, but has anuyone heard from him within the last week? ive been emailing him over and over and nobody is answering the emails. i asked if i could have my 200 deposit back.

holy crap kid, you just had well over 20 people tell you to trust this guy & have patience yet you asked for your deposit back?

Well it's this kids money. At least the greater community knows about him though so if he stirs the pot, we'll know his tenancies.

well the thing is trevor on the board said he could get Echo 1 AEG's for around 350 which is about 20 dollars under what i paid for just a pistol and he claims it'll ship fast so i might as well just go for an AEG if i can get my deposit back. If i cant get my deposit back ill just hang tight then.

my grandfather once told me "you get what you pay for," now at 32 everytime I decide to go half ass and buy shit I am reminded of him.
Do what you want you can either buy a good GBB as a starting platform or an Echo that you can throw out in a season and then buy a real AEG, there is no "cheap" ways to get into this sport, we would have found it already.

Take everyone's advice that you are getting here, the people providing it have been down your road well before you

Some of us have even came back up the road :) Some really good advice prested here for you, its not a cheap sport and personally one decent GBB is worth more than a crappy AEG, my two cents for what its worth.

you know what.. this isnt the first time Kens fucked up. Im gonna side with the angry noob

This sport/hobby IS expensive to start and to play but damn... it's worth it :D

Fantastic, my money just appears in my pocket. What's this work busniess you speak of?

Selling our bodies, for intimate sensual encounters every Thursday at 7:45pm on the corner of Bronson and Nepean in Ottawa, Ontario.

I'll see your sensual encounters and raise you with my pornography sales.
I am able to feed myself because people are social introverted or lack basic social skills.

But back to the topic though, there are some things in life you just cant skip out on when it comes to the real deal. Kraft dinner, I know the crappy no name stuff is cheaper by a 50 cents or 75 cents but you cant skimp on the real thing. In my opinion same thing goes with AEGs. Then again if it was only a 75 cent diffrence between a CA and a JG...eh I dont need to go into that.

ok guys sent him back an email saying ill hang tight for the pistol...i hope he replies sooN!! the boards been great lotsa info and stuff thanks.

just to reaffirm, is there any modifications or anything that i should be worrying about for the KSC USP .45 standard? should i upgrade any parts that are necessary to the durability of the gun etc.

before i decided on the KSC i also considered the HFC M190, even though i thought berettas were less cool than usp's.

why is the HFC M190 Full metal / auto version is so much cheaper even though it is full metal and automatic! anyone?

i will answer this questions this way;
why is the new porsche carrera 4s so much more then a new skoda?
Q-U-A-L-I-T-Y
remember my first post in this thread I mumbled something about getting what you pay for? do yourself a favour and buy the cheapest airsoft shit you can find and soon the extra $20 you saved here and there isn't going to seem like such a deal

I have one more little peice of wisdom for you; only a rich man can afford to buy junk

JAYHAD. good words indeed.

I bought a g36c and such and so, a while back, before these darn boarder/shipment shinnannagins mind you, but great service, god bless 'em.


Only 2 retailers left in canada!?!?! Its like depriving fish of water! what happeneds when all the used guns get used up and the Classifieds turns into a land of dust and debris!?

hey, just a quick question, does anyone know if ken is away on vacation or something? Because i have called him 4 days straight and he has always been away.

ussually in his news section on the site it will tell you or you will get an autoreply from email

There are always alternatives...

Pffft, the only good thing hasbro has done was affiliated with takara to use there transformers molds, and even then, they cant even paint them well.

Nope. Apparently the most recent news is the release of the TM Type 89s with mech 3round burst.

yupp, and the autoreply is the same as always.

Sorry about hijacking this thread. Anyhow, I've recieved an e-mail from Ken this afternoon regarding my order for the KJW P226 and he has started the process to issue refunds for those who have requested them. I guess some items never showed up even after a month of ordering from Ken's suppliers. It's nice to know that Ken is still a reputable source for airsoft enthusiates in Canada (especially when the suppliers don't fubar the process). Many users who have fired off numerous e-mails should get a reply today about their guns in limbo.

Nick.

Yeah, I received an email from him this afternoon aswell.

Well, there was more to it, but that will answer any questions concerning the arrival of newly purchased Airsoft things from Ken.

shit im the only one who didnt get an email back!!!

didnt recieve any emails back, nor is he still answering his phone. This man is impossible to track down.

I don't think he answers emails/phones over the weekend. Like any good business he is closed on the weekends. So he most likely has a large back log of emails on monday. Can't explain the phone though.

yeah i know about weekends, but ive emailed twice i believe and phoned him everyday since last monday, and no answer... But, hopefully ill get a hold of him soon.

FINALLY ITS HERE! CHECK OUT MY NEW THREAD!!!
