US store

Buds and Suds · October 5th, 2007, 23:33

Im looking for a US store that I can order online from, thats close to BC... and will ship to Canada. Im not ordering guns of course but im looking for:

Scope mount M16 handle
Scope
BBs and Mags (if possible)
and other BDU/gear related surplus stuff and holdsters.

Sure this has been a topic of many previous discussions, but any help would be appreciated. Thanx

why order from the states, because of the price difference?
in canada i use airsoftparts.ca, because outside a whole gun juggelz can get frickin' anything. from the states i use airsoft extreme, but only as an emergency

Scopes and scope mounts are (sometimes) export controlled. FYI.

Ahhh, I wondered about that, but I thought...you can buy scopes anywhere, but not many people hunt with red dots I guess...heh. But I did want to shop in the US cause of the price difference. I saw a part I wanted that was $19 in the US but $40 at 007. batteries are around $59 instead of $79...ect ect. even paying a %15 duty is still alot cheaper cause I was going to order alot of parts.
plus I cant find this scope anywhere else.

look for those things in canada, order form the US and you usually get hit by taxes and the privelage of customs opening your package

I've never had Customs open my gun parts before, save one occasion when I bought a receiver a few years back.
However I do know that shipping it through the border is a pain, so I tend to bring anything from the US into Canada myself.

Try airsoftextreme or airsoftGi.com

Ordered a G36 wire set from Airsoft GI because Airsoftparts.ca was out of stock.

Airsoft parts price was $40, Airsoft GI was $25 (seemed like a great deal)

When I finally get it from UPS they inform me that they added as $17 brokerage fee onto the item so after tax, shipping and everything my total was $62 which is probably a bit more than I would have paid in country.

Better to just keep your money in the country, support your fellow Canadian and not our less than appealing downstairs neighbours.

Hey thanks Dr. now I'll know not to order from them although I might later on.

Buy from the "eHobby Asia" Ebay store.
Cheap shit, even WITH shipping, it's usually cheaper than anywhere else WITHOUT shipping. Stuff gets to you in 7 or 8 business days, and I haven't had a problem with them. I've ordered from them 3 times. One order was about $60, the other order was about $20, and the last order was about $100. I didn't get duties applied on any of them. I have an order coming right now as well!

Primary rule when buying from the states (besides making sure it's legal to ship here):
Avoid UPS at all cost. Get it shipped USPS or don't buy from them (not sure about FedEx since I haven't dealt with them before).

Fedex is fine.

If you have to have it shipped anyways, why does it matter how close or far the store is? The difference in the cost of shipping between Washington to BC versus Virginia to BC is negligible. The time difference will be a day or two, max.

BTW, I like Garlic City Airsoft in Gilroy, California.

Fair prices, great customer service. See my review here: http://www.airsoftcanada.com/showthread.php?t=45491
