On-line paint

[Dräko]

Have ayll had good experiences buying paint on-line. Me and my freidsn are pretty weary of it becauser of shipping and all. i would really like some ffedback because for us its like 80.00 a case for medium level paint. its terrible, i know you can get good prices on-line though. So whats your experience, and where do you buy from

[MuckRaker]

I buy all my paint online from http://www.Paintballgear.com. I used to buy from 800paintball because they are located in Florida and their regular ground ship was like getting next day delivery.

The thing to buying paint online is to get regular ground shipment. When you order next day, 2nd or 3rd day you run he risk of the package being handled "roughly" by the shipper which can result in busted balls, paint that is. Also, try to find an online store that's located close to your location, within three or four days ground ship ... that way you're not waiting for a week or more for your paint to arrive.

If I order paint from paintballgear on Monday, I'll have it by Friday of the same week ... just in time to hit the field on Saturday or Sunday.

I hope this helps.

I've had some good experiences buying paint online. I recently puchased some Marbs online from http://www.skanline.com. They had the best price ($56.00) and the best shipping ($10) for ground UPS. I got the paint yesterday and they packed it very well. There was a ton of popcorn packing material with about 4 or 5 "fragile" signs all over the box. I got the box within four days. I checked around on all the popular paintball sites and found that skanline had the best prices. I've purchased stuff from them before and they've been great.

I have yet to order paint online. I run more risk then any of you! why? because I live in Hawaii!!!!! AIR only! Im kinda worried to buy paint online, even though the prices are much better then the shops over here. I wonder if they ship by boat? might take 6 to 8 weeks though, lol

[amargio1]

What else does membership give you ... our store sells a card for $10 bucks ... no field fees for an entire month. Field fee is $10.

[amargio1]

[Creek]

http://www.acepaintball.com Get on there mailing address,they have online and store sales once a month.Should be in 2 weeks for the next one

[amargio1]

[Creek]

Well i know him too you better ask him 2 weeks ago they where selling them for that i can prove it if you want i got the tag right here along with the IMpluse they sold me. I got 2 cases for that price and a case of El tigre for 42 bucks.What am i explaining this too you for i dont need too.

[MuckRaker]

Dam ... you should know by now that Creek don't mess around.

[amargio1]

i buy from pmi and unless their seconds they cost the dealer 48.00 bucks. maybe he made out on gun...i don't no...dan has good store and good customer service.

[Dräko]

Wow look at what a rukus ive started

[Creek]

Didn't make out on the gun either really I paid 450 for it.On line be 425.Buying from the store s 25 bucks more,but if anything goes wrong with it you take it too them and they fix it for free.Paint wasn't 2nds.I deal with 3 shops up here. I have one that only charges shipping too our team.

[MuckRaker]

I've got like four more weeks in this damn brace ... hopefully the doc won't tell me anymore bad news when i see him next week ... So i'm stockpiling on paint. I got a case of Diablo Blaze last week, now I'm looking to get some Team Colors ... Anyone know what their "Gold" fill looks like?

[amargio1]

creek, you do not have to resort to lying...I spoke to dan the owner of ace paintball last night.anyone can go to his site and see his price for paint...dan said he would never sell marbs for that price you quoted ..evan with his best sale price he will not sell at 45.00 per case ...1000 rounds that's diff. story...you may love ace and i agree w/ you they have a fine store,but the paint i have nothing out there can touch,quality or price and don't evan compare freshness...please do not order from us as it would put you over the edge...

[Dräko]

Hey now, this thread isnt about buying paint from This online or That Online, its about buying paint Online, haha that made no sense. You get the point though
