shootSOFT.ca
 

Whats the recent news with this site, is it a scam, do they fruad people?

They have been known to fruad people left and right.

EDIT: Sorry... Thought I had read buyairsoft.ca in the title. My bad.

Thats extremely unfortunate on my part since have already made an order with them. Its the stinger R34 for my lil bro, gladly it was cheap.

PLEASE REPLY IF YOU HAVE HAD RECENT DISPUTES WITH airSOFT.ca...Or if you belive it is a good, trustworthy site to go through

Edit : Same boat as Crunch. Lol

Shootsoft, dude, not buyairsoft.

He was replying to me on that. Read my post above.

Yes indeed i was talking about shootSOFT.ca lol....and my brother will be 18 next month soo no worrys on that

SHOOTSoft Garbage
Softshoot.ca
Hows shootsoft.ca?

shoot soft
shootsoft

those are just by a quick search
nothing good

Ah, understood.

I had only read your post after your edit and didn't put 2 and 2 together.

Is there any way to cancel my order?. It was made in full with my credit card through paypal.

And does anyone reccomend waiting it out to see if its deliverd, or should i just try getting my refund now?

Plz reply

a buddy of mine ordered a holosight from thm for like 120$ and it is the same one that is on dealextreme for like 40$. Bottom line shootsoft is terrible.

how about you read some of the links?
see what they did

email them
get them to refund you the money

next time use THIS

You paid.... So you agreed to their term& condition..... And they did nothing wrong.... So Paypal will not give you a refund....
For that, you'll have to talk to the owner of Shootsoft.... Maybe he'll give your money back......

You can try contacting them to cancel your order.
Since you paid with paypal if there are any issues you can always file a dispute against them if required.


You are up here ----------------




You need to be down here----------------

Please calm down. This in an internet forum, responses are not always immediate. If you are having doubts about your order than you should have attempted to perform some research prior to ordering.

This isn't a chatroom, it's a forum. Wait and you'll get a reply, if people feel like spoonfeeding you answers.

Sorry Just a little frustrated at the moment, Does anyone know the owners contact info off by hand?

TIP :Look on their website ;)

WOW cant belive this. So there is no 1 that has ever got guns oderd from them?. Or just no 1 stupid enough too order from them

http://www.shootsoft.ca/clearsoft/co...r357naq7815tr5

Or perhaps any contact emails that would have been sent to your inbox in regards to your order may contain another contact email that you can also use.

a little bit of both

look at their contact us page emails phone numbers mailing address is there

use this websites search function before you do anything!

the questions you've asked have been answered many times before

theres at least 20 threads on shootsoft alone.

Dude.... RITZ took the time to send you some links..... Go read them and you'll see that you are NOT the only one.....

Jeez..... Calm down....

shootSOFT is more than a live, on the last year we have ship more than 2000 AEG around the Canada, we do have more than 3000 members and you can see our store is still growing! Soon it will be a walking store, and more it will be an indoor game site!

shootSOFT is the store with the most choice for AEG and GBB in Canada!

I just bought a gun from buyairsoft.ca so was that a bad choice? I have the tracking number and it is recorded and been shipped with Canada Post..

There have been mixed experiences with them. Many have said that they've had bad experiences. Personally I've only dealt with them once and I had a good experience. Mind you, this was before they were taken over by CAS (Canadian Airgun Supply). I haven't had any experience with them since they were taken over. Even though their website looks a lot better.

Yeah but what is bad about them though? Specifics? Are they just fraud do they ship out cap guns instead? I got my order and all and the tracking number and Canada post has the parcel so we'll see..

The search in the upper right exists for a reason.

Just did. Mixed reviews. All in ones perspective whatever..

neurotic worrying fretting noobs, omg did i get rip off? omg my gun dont work now did i get scam? oh no i just order gun but i now reading that its crap can i get refund?

how about contacting the fucking store/site that sold you the item, does this look like shootsoft or buyairsoft's customer service website?

use the search and see what others have experienced, the search box IS there for a reason as Kalnaren said.

I did.. I'm not really worried just was curious.. Unless you were directing your attention to the orig post

nah not you, the original post and the attitude of some noobs that we get here

When i ordered the gun i though that their site was pretty legit with the pay logo's and all that (Misterhard & Visa) and it is well done so i didn't really have a worry with it. Not like some other sites i have seen that look like some half ass jabronie designed with Microsoft paint and some html editor.. I was just curious of some insight. I have had only problems once when ordering something. Actually 2wice. I bought a mixing board from california and it was delivered by DHL and they kept missing my house at the time. The driver was suffering from the downs. And another time i bought a Randall Amp Head from musicians friend that was a blemish but when i called and asked what that meant for it's condition they said it was prob just a scratch on the head. When i got it it was completely broken, well the outer casing.. I sent it back and they gave me a brand new one..

ah ok fair enough, buyairsoft has been around a while now, and even though their products and customer service haven't been the best, I've yet to hear of them outright ripping someone off but not sending them their gun.

Quit scaring off the noobs Pus, we run out of people to shoot at when you do! If they're underage however, invite me along next time, we need a scary face to deter them!

hehehe I scare because I love :)

Cause he's from Scarborough.. Thats how they role!!

Yea... packing a 9mm semi-automatic.

Whoa! There's a time and place for things like that, and this isn't either....

Something Wierd is Happening With shoot soft
 

Well I ordered a tokio mauri vsr-10 clone from them on February 15 they said if i wait they will give me a bag of .25 bb (4000 BB) its Now april first and they wont reply my emails anymore. the site also said the wait was up to 20 buisines days and up to5 days of shipping. So right now i am confused. :(

p.s
My Order cost me $206.00 I dont want to loose that !!

Not to cause any site disputes but maybe a list should be kept of places to avoid that scam people.

There is, the reviews in the AV section act as that. If people would do their research they would have known our feelings a bout shootsoft.

Haha April Fool's! no gun for youuuu hehhehehe

Very disappointed to hear that. I knew LeGros + his 2 business partners, but i haven't seen/heard of them in a couple months.

+1.

You n00bs really need to start doing your research. There is TONS of information on ASC. Take a few hours and just look through the different sections -you don't have to read everything, but know what's available. Oh, and just because a handful of people have given a retailer glowing reviews doesn't invalidate the several dozen who didn't.

Especially the reviews made available on the actual site in question. I cant believe people still fall for that shit. Those are the kind of people you could probably sell the moon to, night after night.

3 dozens on more than 3000 customers that nothing!

I'm very suprise if you did not have answer from the customer service, please send me a PM I will give the information to the person in charge of the customer service!

shootSOFT have grow so fast in the last few month we have hire 2 mores persons to help us, and soon it with be a street Store, and than a AIRSOFT ARENA!!!

Christian
shootSOFT

You are correct, from a mathematical standpoint. From at customer service standpoint, it is an UNACCEPTABLE number. It should be 0 or the smallest number possible of RESOLVED issues.

No kidding.

Honestly, those 3 dozen whom got screwed should have been passed on to someone who would take the issues and deal with them. Not following up on customer service is how you lose business and reputation. Basing your service on just out weighing the bad with good is a terrible way to deal with things.

damnit, just ordered an l96 (370$) from them, that was 9 days ago, was expecting it to arrive sometime today, but never even got a tracking number? Getting a bit nervous, will have to wait it out, hope everything pans out.

Youve been here for 3 years now? You should have known better.
Have you even looked at their website? 20 days till they ship it. Ie. you wont get a tracking number unless its shipped.

The newbs i can understand... but you? Cmon people do some damn research. Your inability to do any research for yourself is not going to make anyone WANT to spoon feed you.

As for Legros, Considering all the allegations against you, I think a PR campaign in the form of posts every page or two isnt going to really help you. A response or attempts to find a solution would. I would clean up your act and get your shit sorted if you want to repair the damage to your reputation. Its obvious that what your doing now is not working for the general airsoft community.

2000 guns sold? but how many are from repeat customers? How many of those are vets? And how many of those are uniformed newbies who dont know any better? If you recall, I once attempted to purchase a gun from you (back when you were selling better quality stuff on asc), while I got lots of promises from you, I never got any results. Instead of leaving you bad feedback (as the transaction never took place), I was courteus enough to just let it drop and spend my money elsewhere. Walk in store or not, people dont forget shit like that. I know I wont.

i am in the same boat i ordered a tokio-marui vsr-10 on Feb 15 that cost me $206 so after 3 days i asked him why my order wasn't shipped yet he said it was back ordered i asked again in April and he said the same thing and says he doesn't know when my order will be back in stock due to delays.

So demand a refund.

You might want to ask for your money back man. A third of a year to get a rifle in is unacceptable. Delays are not your problem, these are businesses and as you are paying them to provide a service you need to stand up for your rights. Take your money, get age verified and seek another retailer though the retail section.

I mean, the guy has time to travel to cuba but not secure your order and its great that he has new employee's but in the month + since he hired them your still sitting with nothing but your metaphorical johnson in your hand wondering whats going down.

Good luck.

a wise man I know once said, Deeds not words.

Oh god, Shootsoft selling full black G&G's. :banghead:
Although they are still plastic, this is bad, I know Buyairsoft is doing this too.
Looks like Buyairsoft and Shootsoft want to ruin airsoft by selling AEG's to little kiddies, who's mommies pay for the guns. Then somehow think its a good idea to go play in a forest "away from people". Its bad enough they had halfbreeds, but now that they have Full plastic black, this is bad. Very Bad.

I purchased an Mp5 for a friend through them, and it was 20 days till shipment and I got it. Took it down and upgraded and my friend is happy. That was last year and now another friend has gone ahead and ordered a rifle from them. No problems yet, but I can tell you that in both situations I strongly recommended they choose another retailer. Me buying from them was simply due to the lack of stock elsewhere and the impatience of a close friend. I have no experiences that are negative but I get the chills everytime I hear the name.

I Ordered From Them!!!
 

i ordered from shoot soft in february i still havent recieved my order :(
they say there backorderd and dont know when my gun will come in!!!

Thanks for the update, many of use where wondering if the status of your order changed in the last 20 minutes.


Seriously though. Like a few have already said. Get your money back. Get age verified. Seek another retailer.

cheers.

Just what we need, 5 year olds running around on the streets of Toronto playing airsoft without goggles.

How so? Let the little fucking monkeys shoot their eyes out, it'll teach them a lifelong lesson...

The lesson will be: Its not my fault I was stupid and put my eye out. It was the fault of evil airsoft guns. Even the soccer moms and the government say so!

ahh yes the soccer moms, touche

Which is why our community makes every effort to clearly and firmly dissociate itself from underaged players with crapsoft.

Yes our community does do this, but does it matter? Its not like the anti's will ever acknowledge that we put massive amounts of effort into promoting safety and responsible gun use.

This is not what we want here.

YouTube- Walmart Airsoft Gun Unboxing

say no to fruad

In and by itself, no not really: the antis will be anti no matter what, they want zero guns, period. There's no reasoning with it.

Will it keep certain retailers from still selling to minors? Or parents careless buying guns for their kids and then failing to supervise them? No.

Will our promoting safety and responsible gun use and proper use of airsoft help? Only those willing to listen, which in most cases aren't the people mentioned above anyway.

But if an incident does happen, you want to make sure nobody (read "the media") can turn around and point a finger at us, or show some report on CBC about how they enlisted some 12 y.o kid who was then able to easily get access to a gun because of us.

Hmm. your comments make sense. However I still think its a loosing battle. Those who are inclined to point a finger at us will still find a reason, even if its just "this would never have happened if those guys at ASC didn't make airsoft look so fun and enjoyable."

Got my L96 off Shootsoft (When it was new, mind you). Came with the barrel scratched up, BBs scattered everywhere (inside the HEAVILY beaten box), the trigger guard missing a piece of plastic, and one of the sears snapped in half.

I would hardly call that new. Still, I was reassured that it was 'new' and because I didn't want to go through the hassle of mailing it to whoever his distributor was -- I ended up opening the gun and fixing the broken parts with some epoxy.

I haven't dealt with Shootsoft since and have no future plans to.

LOL

I initially considered them for buying my L85 two years ago but the email & PM communications threw me off.

Days to over a week worth of waiting to get a copypasta reply in Jean Chretien' style frenglish that left a couple simple yet critial questions unanswered (along the lines of "is it already in Canada" and "will you test it before shipping") made my "buyer sense" tingle.

Yeah but that's going to happen whatever we do; so if/when it does, you want to make sure it's clear to the uninformed masses, and maybe especially to authorities, that we actively discouraged it, promoted safe and responsible ownership and play, did everything in our power to keep it from happening, and condemned rather than condoned those who did facilitate it.

If an incident happened tomorrow morning and some wannabe-clever news type decided to come poking around to see if they could find something they could stick on us, they'd be dealt a swift backhand after reading a few of Pusangani's replies to underaged kids trying to get a gun :P

And I think most people are still sensitive enough to realize "this would never have happened if those guys at ASC didn't make airsoft look so fun and enjoyable" is a bit of a straw man fallacy... sorta like the arguments against tobacco sponsorships, which would have us believe simply seeing the logo will make us want to smoke (everyone in marketing would be on welfare or flipping burgers at McD's). And just to rant, that was like the one single positive contribution tobacco companies were making: now they're selling just as much tobacco products, making as much profits, and all those sporting and entertainment events that were receiving money are now underfunded. Good going, Big Brother, thanks for saving me from that horrible duMaurier logo.

shoot soft not a scam !!!
 

The Guy finaly sent my order in the mail so everybody calm down it takes a while:p
Ps Be Kind He is doing his best !

Everyone IS calm; YOU were the one panic posting every 20 minutes that you'd made a purchase from him.

And some people do have legit complaints.

Weren't you the one freaking out a couple pages back???

2 months ago, i ordered over 900 $ worth of airsoft guns and gear. 2 months later, they send an email saying the company does no longer make G&G MP5 blow backs, so they offer me a different m4. i told them i wanted the kjw m4 gbbr from their site, and was willing to pay the extra. i recieved the whole package 2 weeks later and had saved over 150$, either of them forgetting or i dont know, but that i made a good deal.

up to you guys to decide on this if they are good to buy from or not.

So basically you paid for a gun that was shown in stock, they lied about having it. Then they tried to offer you a M4 when you ordered an MP5. And in the end their mismanagment of customers orders worked out in your favor because they forgot to charge you, when they could have just as easily lost confirmatin that you had paid. Yeah I want to deal with that company :rolleyes:

Lol sounds like a crapshoot, good for u tho

u do know the management is on this site right?

no, i diddnt know lol.

We have take the decision to do not charge the extra!


Christian
shootSOFT

Well that was awfully nice of you. Its always nice when a retailer take the decision to do not charge the extra. And Im being serious. If you honestly (which I will take at face value as I don't know you) made the active decision to provide a slightly more expensive product at discount due to a mistake then kudo's to you. Keep up that kind of Customer service and Im sure the community will appreciate you.

Also, pusangani gets +10 internets for predicting the lulz.

Not sure if this is a stupid thing to post seeing as this thread is a little old so I am sorry if I bother anybody. Anways my friend orderd $400 worth of airsoft gear and guns from shootsoft and has waited 35 buisness days without the gun even being shipped yet, and I guess his emails are being ingored. Me speaking from his experience I wouldn't recomend buying from this retailer.

How did he pay?
If he payed Paypal you can put in a ticket.

I feel like i'm getting ripped off again from another company from Quebec. I WANT MY ORDER CANCELLED AND MY PAYPAL C R E D I T E D!!!

to all airsofters
 

hi there, i ordered my stuff of shootsoft.ca on September 24th and now it's October 28th i still did not revive any of the stuff that i have order and i for one wasted 789.00 and for another i think that this website is a scam because this laddie alain monique emaild me and said that it would take 20 business days to order she did not supply me with a tracing number, i asked several time's for it she just ignored my god dam fuckin emails and every time i get pissed of and send emails that regard my order she either ignores them or she send's me back smart remarks witch pisses me off, remarks like '' talk to me politely and then well talk'' in a few words shes trying to say that i'm not gonna receive my packages cuz it's a scam so take my advice and no one order of shoot soft.ca they are a shit company, they have lousy works man ship, lousy service and terrible prices.

take my advice do not and i mean DO NOT ORDER ANYTHING OFF THIS WEBSITE IT'S A SCAM.

THANK YOU THAT IS ALL

You're not the first one that got scammed by them...lol....

Just earned him/herself a nice, long vacation. What a way to start your intro.

Welcome to ASC.

Maybe those who had problems with shootsoft can use this site to let know fellow airsofter about shootsoft?

http://bizinformation.ca/www.shootsoft.ca

Not all airsofters are registered with ASC

How do they scam, they're a legit business. Yeah ok they sell to underage kids/mommies who get nagged by their kids to buy them a new toy. But that's only because buyairsoft doesn't have a age verification system (not trying to make it sound like it's ASC) they dont check customers for their age.

And the fact that they market 460 fps guns to kids claiming that it's a better gun and makes the player super cool and awesome (which is not cool)

So tell me in what part of that is it a scam?

Before CAS had baught out Buyairsoft, they had left a very bitter taste for a 'lot' of players. I guess people continue to believe their the same.

That, and yeah. I wouldn't want to support a site like that, CAS has kind of slapped ASC in the face with their actions as well. A lot of people didn't like that.
