I've used 800paintball.com in the past. They're located in West Palm Beach, Fla., so regular group shipping to St. Petersburg, Fla, where I live, is usually overnight or second day. But, lately I've encounted lots of problems getting through to them. I was on hold for more than one hour today (I wanted to order some Diablo Blaze) and then when the guy finally answered the phone, he said they'd stopped carrying Diablo paint, and in it's place they were offereing NelSplat.

A couple of weeks ago I called them to inquire about a barrel, I called around 2 p.m. but they're voice mail kept coming on and saying I'd called after normal business hours.

I'd also e-mailed them several times and got no response.

In disgust, I called Paintballgear.com, got a sales rep on the second ring, was assured my Blaze would be shipped today and would arrive no later than Thursday of next week. I normally buy all my stuff from BBT, but this time I didn't want to wait seven working days for my paint.

I have delt with them a few times. The first time was fine. Good prices, nice, and reasonible shipping.

The next time they were nice enough but they said the thing I was ordering was $10 more than their ad siad. So I had to argue for a while to get the price advertised.

I wasn't disgusted at Paintballgear.com, but by the fact that 800paintball is only a three hour drive from where I live. And the fact that it seems no one there has a clue. And, I mistated what the sales rep there said, NelSplat didn't replace Diablo, he said NelSplat was the only paintball they had in stock. When my buddy ordered those Diablo Rec Balls not long ago, the Sales Rep told him it was the only thing they had in stock. HMMM ...

The 800 paintball site is messed up to. It has a bunch of bugs where when you click on a link, the link isnt their. It says page unavailable.
