I'll let my fellow paintballers in on a little secret. The official sneak peek of Alpha Assassins takes place at FanExpo in Toronto this week. A roleplaying scenario game that utilizes paintball as one of it's game mechanics. I hear they're going to have lots of giveaways, prizes, and a special offer. Look for the people wearing the reticle shirts for information. How do I know this? I'll be one of the guys in the reticle shirts. Hope to see you there. Be sure to let me know if you're from the TechPB Forum.

There are certain sellers on eBay looking for a fast buck who couldn't give a shit whether your purchase is packaged properly, sent within a reasonable time, or even the actual product advertised! To me a reasonable time is shipped out within 5 days of payment, or worst case scenario a week. I'm sure some of you must know my pain. This is my most recent situation. I bought from three separate dealers on the same day. 2 were EBay sellers, and one online paintball site. The paintball site was the first to arrive. No surprise there, and shipping was from within Ontario to Toronto in 4 days. The next to arrive was from seller #1 which actually came from Quebec, and arrived in 9 days. A bit long but acceptable. Now here's the problem. Seller #2 whom I actually purchased the marker from, and is actually only a 4 hour drive from Toronto in Ontario caused me days of frustration. First of all I make it a point to check on my orders 5 days after payment to make sure things are going well. When I contacted this jerkler by email I found out that evening that my order hadn't been prepared yet because the seller was "busy". Translation, the seller completely forgot, or is just too damn lazy to respect the fact I have already paid $400.00 for something which is technically now mine to send it. I have the tank, mods, holo sight, and barrel already but no marker to attach them to. Talk about brutal. If you would like to avoid this same situation happening to you, I would make 3 suggestions.
1- when you must buy online, buy from a Canadian paintball online store if possible.
2- avoid buying things off of eBay or kijiji unless the seller is close enough for you to arrange a pickup.
3- if the only seller you can find that has the product you're looking for, or has an amazing price on something you're dying to have is nextgenpaintball on eBay? FIND SOMETHING ELSE!
