I think the reason they don't combine shipping is that shipping is just part of the cost. No matter how many items you get, you still have to pay the entire item price which includes shipping. That being said, I had a $100+ order of 8 or so items, and they took $5 off. Not much, but I'll take what I can get.

I just did a buy-it-now on multiple auctions and waited for them to send me an invoice with a single price for shipping. I didn't really check to see if I had gotten any discount or paid full price.

I ordered 4 mags, a metal slide for my KSC Glock 17, upgraded recoil and hammer springs for my KJW M9, upgraded recoil spring and rod for my Glock 17, and a tactical flash light from them on December the 29th and it just arrived a half hour ago. They're damn reliable and have damn fast shipping! Package wasn't even opened by customs! =O I figured with the metal slide for the glock in there, they would have checked it for sure, but no!

Ehobby will definitely get more business from me, I highly recommend them. Just don't order guns or lower receivers!

Just put in an order last night for 2 more mags, a tightbore barrel, and new hopup for my KSC Glock 17, and the total was just under $100, including the $15 shipping charge, which I think is more than fair coming from Asia.

BTW matt, I just got a G&P metal slide for my Glock too, and it's really nice. Adds some nice weight, and increases the kick a bit. And it just sounds so damn nice with all that metal now. I'm definitely developign an appreciation for this gun. My KJW M9 is still my 'sweetheart' of my pistols, but the Glock holds a special place in my arsenal too.

I don't understand how canadian retailers can chare more than 65 dollars for a mag PLUS SHIPPING! when you can get them from ehobby for less than 40, shipped to your door!

And yeah, my Glock 17 has been gettin' some lovin' from me too! I love the trades on the new metal slide. I didn't get the G&P though... I've read multiple reviews that said they're very tempermental on the fit and the finish isn't that good. I spent the extra bucks and got this guy and I'm SO glad I did. Like I said, the trades are BEAUTIFUL and the sound. *drools* I love the nice *CA CHINK* sound it makes when you rack the slide back, drop in a mag and rack the slide forward.. I'm a glock whore, so my glock 17 and my glock 23 are two of my favorite pistols.

Very nice, and the trades were white from the start. I had to fill mine in with white crayon. But in terms of fit, I had no issues at all. I had all the parts transferred over to the metal slide and had it installed on the pistol in less than 5 mins. I had to rack the slide a few times with some silicone spray to get it all lubed up and operating smoothly, but once that was done, it was fine. It moves just as easily as the stock slide, fits as well, but sounds much nicer. The finish on it seems fine too. Ad yeah, that CA CHINK sound if nice too. I loved this pistol in its stock form, but the sound was always a bit too plastic for my taste (even compared to my WA 92FS). Not a problem anymore!

But yeah, it just kills me how Canadian resellers sell these items for over double (almost triple in the case of these mags) what we can import them for ourselves. G17 mags here are $65 plus shipping. I paid $23.99 for mine, and shipping charge was $6. Total shipping for my last order was $15, about the same I would have paid for shipping from a Canadian seller for the same items.

There's usually a few ways to pull of low prices like that. One is volume, order lots and the price and payment terms are better.

The second thing to do is stay in touch with the suppliers and when someone else cancels an order you snap it up at a deal. The factories in Asia produce goods and ship them but they have no ability to store extras on site. When it's in the box it has to go out the door.

Yeah, mine came with the trades already filled in really nicely in white. It's beautiful and fit like a glove! Only took me about 5 minutes too to swap out the slides and new recoil rod and spring, minus drying time for the super glue I put on my front site. KSC Glocks are notorious for having the front sites fall off at games. =P

What silicone spray do you use? I have yet to find one that I'm happy with, so I've only been using the AI Silicone Oil for now

As a side note he also leaves feedback on eBay, something that not all sellers will do. Another plus.

Splashx · January 11th, 2008, 16:16

I ordered 5 times from them and all of them were perfect transactions!

I always log in ebay.com and not on ebay.ca as some items are idem even if you can import them. and I always got reduced shipping cost when I buy multiple item from them my last transaction would have been cost 35$ for shipping but I paid 26$ for a drop pouch, goggles, a spring, a set of gears, a double mag pouch and a kit of G&P oil and grease

and when I pay insurance (3-5$usd), I have received the packages using EMS!!! I received my last package within 7 calendar days!

Yeah, I should have at least double my rating of 104 on ebay, just from people who don't bother leaving feedback. That sucks because it's the way to measure other members' reliability. I go above and beyond the call to make sure I have fast, excellent communications. I always pay instantly when buying, and always package items well and only charge actual shipping costs when selling. And I make sure the items are shipped ASAP once payment has been received. At the very least, I'd expect some feedback for that, ESPECIALLY when I'm the seller. But a lot of people don't even bother, no matter how good you make it for them.

And I have to say, the same happens on this board with the trader feedback. I've purchased about a dozen items from the classifieds section in the past month and a half, and I've left feedback (along with an "I left you positive feedback" PM to the sellers), but have only had 1 ever leave me feedback. It's too bad.

They always use EMS. Everyone of my orders I never paid insurance (why?) and always got my items in 7-10 business days from when they were mailed.

TokyoSeven · January 11th, 2008, 19:27

They dont always us EMS, if you order something small, they cram it in an envelope and send it to you via regular mail.

surebet · January 12th, 2008, 00:22

I bought a bunch of things from them recently, but there was a borked laser in the batch. I talked with them, they offered replacement part by the bucket load but since the emiter itself was wonky I sent it back with an RMA. Over the holidays. Via slow mail.

They turned around faster (1½ weeks, more or less) than I would have expected, and not only gave me a no fuss return, but also reimbursed the shipping and I thing threw in an extra 10$.

Love 'em!

Will these guys ship to Canada for items that are listed to ship to the US (Shipping prices to Canada are not shown)? I'm talking about the items that will not be seized by customs such as hammer springs.
