So I was interested in picking up 2 2011 byt dump pouches, 2 2011 bt id holders, 2011 bt multi holster, and a 2011 bottle holder.

Shipping to Canada should not exceed $30 right since its all soft goods andeasily compressible right?

I've bought stuff before from ans and I can probably fit all of what I listed into the smallest box they've sent me. And the shipping for that would have only cost me $18 st most.

And yea I checked pb gear Canada. Quite a bit more expensive than ansgear. But ongoing to scheme a plan I hope :/

I believe ansgear uses only ups or fedex, which charge more to ship internationally than usps.

and shipping from the U.S. to here was 25$, if i were to order it directly from the manufacturer it would have been 40$. It's tiny, but really expensive to ship.

Or you can order from badlands pb and they are located right in Canada and from what I've seen they carry everything ans gear does and price matches ans gear. Why don't you just shop at you local pro shop and support a local business?

Badlands rips you off big time. Last couple times I tried to do the above, they said they only price match for Canadian buisnesses. I wont support a company catering to noobs trying to rip people off. Select paintball has more reasonable prices, and they are canadian based pro shop.


Point and case:

Ninja 68/45 - BADlands - $184.99 before tax

- Select - $140 tax included and they threw in a pro reg on it!

Grillz lense - Bad - $28 (they recently stopped selling these)

- Select/hero surplus, just about anywhere else - $24 for dual paned.


Dont see the reason why you need to prove other places sell for less EVERYTIME you go buy something.

Ok I was mistaken on badlands. But then why doesn't he support his local pro shop. I buy from my local pro shop unless they tell me they can't get it.

It's discontinued and paintballgear along with MR still sell them for much more than ansgear.

I do support local businesses such as pinnacle paintball supply, MR paintball, and paintballgear.ca but bottom line is if it's still to expensive fuck it, I'm buying elsewhere to force them to be more competitive. I don't just hand my money away for free, businesses have to earn my cash.

Well that's a horse of a different color. I didn't know the products were discontinued. I know my shop will order off of ans gear for me and since my shop is an ans gear licensed dealer ans gear charges him wholesale for most products and ships to him for free. He makes a profit and I save on shipping cost. You might wanna see if your shop can do that for you so that you can save on shipping.

I bought 600$ of product off ans gear and had to pay 95 when it came to my door. Shipping kills but ans has it all for so cheap
