<br />Sarge how much was shipping from HK and what retailer did you use???

Don't refuse to order from an entire country because of ONE mishap!  I have heard nothing but negative things about RedWolf.  I would never buy from them, but I still see people doing it all the time, then sharing their horror stories.  Just make an informed decision!

I bought my M4 (as well as CAG D's M4 of the same variety) from DEN Trinity.  The transaction was flawless!  We have also ordered from BoomArms, and UN Company.  No problems yet!

My only complaint is the time it takes to process a Bank Transfer Order payment, which is my chosen method of payment.  It adds an additional 2-3 days.

Another things is never use SpeedPost.  The ONE time I used them, it took one extra day.  Like Kurn, my parts arrived a few hours after we left for LC3.  It was a new mechbox, new spring, and some other internals.  Thankfully I did not require any repairs at the Op!  I usually use TNT.  "Shipping so fast, it's <b><i>explosive</i></b>!"

I'm not sure if this is with all shipping methods, but the last time I used TNT I got a duty fee from customs that was twice the shipping on the product.

I have no clue why they want it, but I got a letter from TNT that said I owe 40 dollars to US customs for 'duty fees', and on the back it had a list of items and 'toy weapon' was circled. Kind of strange that they would do that considering it was a spring and some peices of plastic...

Just pay it.  I know it's ridiculous that customs charges <i>us </i>to do their job, like they're doing us some kind of service, but as an upstanding citizen we must comply.  You can try to "fight the man", but you won't win.
