Thats fast.  Did you make any special comments about paint of trademarks, or did you just leave it up to them.  I'm thinking yours just slipped through customs, but mine sat in the official customs office.  TNT must have their own customs office.

Also, the M700 may be getting seized across the board.  

Who knows, there's no sure thing.

As realistic as that one is I can see why it would be.

I have ordered from Redwolf twice.  Both times I have been very pleased.  I was ordering only parts though, so there was no real risk of seizure.

I am under the impression that customs seizures are kind of random.  Further, I am guessing the month wait is for them to confirm the seizure and go through appropriate measures to reclaim the merchandise before giving the refund.

As far as ordering airsoft guns, I would go with Dentrinity or WGC.  Both deliver very fast.  I was fairly impressed with an order from UNcompany, but it was a chronograph, not an AEG, so I cannot comment about success of sending an AEG through customs.

Or you can use Zorks.com which is a US retailer and not deal with an Overseas company.  They won't charge you for the gun until they have it in their hands in the US and are ready to ship it to you.  Personally I like that.

About 2 years ago, I ordered from Redwolf, and sent a US postal money order (long story, not my fault) to em, and of course, it didn't work.  I never did get my money order back, but it was never cashed either, so I killed it to retreive the cash.  They didn't really seem interested in helping me.  Then again, when I did finally get my item, an escrow service was used, and I had the item for about 3 days before I remembered to release the money, and Redwolf never complained.

Need some help with ordering from HK
« Reply #13 on: October 16, 2003, 06:31:58 PM »
After a month of waiting, my tanaka M700 got seized.  I'm waiting to get my refund from Redwolf.  I got one HK order before, it was just a pistol from DenTrinity.

Here is what I really need to know.  Who should I order from, and how should I have it shipped to get a sniper rifle without it getting seized.  The muzzel on a sniper rifle has to be painted, it cant take a plastic muzzel.  If you have successfully received a sniper rifle from Hong Kong, let me know where you bought it, and how you had it shipped.

Thanks alot.
Joey
