depends on how they pakaged it
my first box i got 2000 rounds (4 bags) in every bag i had atleased 8/9 break. but a friend got some from a diffrent site and they added a lot of paddinh and only had 1 crack. find a reliable site and make sure they stick a fragile sign on it.

when i ordered my paint from pbgear i didn't have any breaks!:)

I've never had a broken paintball in any case that I have bought online. I always order from www.pbgear.com They are great.

[Namniar20]

Pbgear is great to buy paint from. I have purchased 2 cases of paint and all of the paintballs were in great condition and zero breaks in the bag.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to add an area for stores, both online and brick-and-mortar, to the reviews section?

Thought the paint is alot cheaper there is a big big BIG chance they will break since they are put on trucks driving across the states and all. But I never take chances with them since they are about the same or cheaper her at my field.

You've never ordered paint online. How would you know if it's going to break or not? I've ordered countless boxes off of pbgear.com without one break. Many different brands too. The paint I get is extremely fresh and unbroken. No dimples, breaks, or anything of the sort.

I have never ordered paint off the Internet.
I have had some friends do it and he had a couple of breaks.

The thing is, once the package is shipped out of the factory, it is not there product any more so anything can happen to it. (most of the time, balls break during shipping, not packaging from the factory).

i don't mean to be an arse but how do you think paintballs get to stores/shops/fields?

they are all shipped by trucks (it's not like some guy just walks with cases of paintballs from the factory and delivers them to stores)

if you are gonna order off of the internet get them from pbgear.com they take pride in their shipping.

(i know i'm being an arse and i appologise for that but i wanted to bake a point)

Ive ordered several boxes from diffrent online stores and from paintballgear.com i ordered 15 boxes and a total about 20 breaks and from onlinepaintball.ca ive ordered about 25 boxes and only about 5 cracks and no breaks. onlinepaintball.ca is my favorite cuz each shipment the box is packed tight with styrophone chips and about 20 red stickers sayen "WANRNING EXTREAMLY FRAGILE HANDEL WITH CARE" and the site also throws some stickers in the box too as a bonus if you spend more then 100$ (i spend that much on one or 2 boxes of paint anyways. i hope this helps

[LadyPballer]

The bottom line is this. If you have paint shipped, which we do on a regular basis, there is always the chance that you will get a few broken balls. If they are packaged right, you shouldn't have any problems. But don't be discouraged if you do get a few broken ones. It's normal.

Carry on!!

Hey guys, I have a follow up question. Im looking at starting to buy paint online because of the prices, but how much do you guys pay for shipping usually, because if its going to be a lot (added on to the normal price), then I might as well get it from my pro-shop, even though its expensive as hell. Help please.

[BigMike5794]

in most places if you pay more than 100 dollars they will ship for free, thats what i always do.

[Lopez17]

I've ordered from PBGear and First Call. I've never had the good stuff break. I ordered All stars, Hellfire, PMI Premium and Evil. All cases arrived fine with no breaks. I also ordered 10 cases of Draxxus/Diablo Seconds. These things broke like glass on concrete. 2 out of every 5 bags had significant breaks. You very much get what you pay for.

[LadyPballer]

I agree. If you spend over $100 bucks you can usually get free shipping. If you don't spend that much, they can charge up to 5$ per case for shipping. I know this from experience.
