Wow this post is old and brings back memories! I used to work for them for about 2 years. The shop in Wokingham closed down overnight and we all got sacked on the spot! Its an alright company but after working there you get to find out alot stuff behind closed doors. I would go on to explain what happaned but it will take way too long. Something which is alot easier to verbally explain.

I live local to Mark who part runs the company. Havnt bumped into him in a long time but I heard bad horror stories about him when he closed down the CQB site.

Seen alot threads which mention I was/am a bad tech. I personally think this was far from truth. Most of us in the shop fixed the guns but only 3 of us could do it to a high/good standard. The rest just bodged the fuck out of them but ofcourse because I was the main tech everything which that shop repaired reflected onto me! I

Nah, they're crooks.

I'm sure it would be very appreciated and that a lot of people on here would love to read it.

Yea.. I know nothing about you or your tech skills, but this did not come out very well - sounds like you're passing blame without backing it. Just sayin'

Depends how you look at the company mate. The shop itself which I worked in was great, all the staff are friendly and even the internet side of the business. The main issue is that they dont sell airsoft guns because they love the hobby. They sell them because it is easy money. Which means they do alot of questionable things because all they want is the money.

Been out of airsoft for the past two years now mate so I havnt really got anything to prove. Still got all my airsoft stuff just incase I love it all again. I took pride in the work I did on peoples guns but to save money I was made to cut springs, use inferior grease, parts etc. Which took the quality of my work down. That did annoy alot because it was my name being put on all the work which came out of that shop because I was the tech there.

There were three guys who worked there who had no previous airsoft experience who they got to work on the guns. Bodges were made here there and everywhere. Quite often I would be handed a gun in loads of pieces and just told "fix it" because they couldnt do it. We got given every gun which was returned as faulty so we could fix them, some of the ways I saw how they fixed those guns were very questionable. On the outside they looked fine but open them up and jesus christ. Missing shims, badly placed/pinched wires. Not to mention the VSR rifles which were "fixed", they worked but for how long was the question.

 
In future, it might be a good idea to leave if you find yourself working for a company or person whose values you do not share or want to be associated with - and I am saying this not as criticism towards you, but rather, a general piece of advice that you might want to consider, not so much for the sake of the customers sake - but for your own.


Again, I know nothing about you, no harsh feelings!

Its fine mate no worries. It was nearly 3 years ago that I got sacked from that job. All in the past and many life lessons were learned.

 
Hi,

[SIZE=10.5px]I'm a relatively new airsoft player in London, i've been playing for around 6 months so I still consider myself a beginner. There are 2 reasons for my post;[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.5px]1. To warn others NOT TO BUY FROM justbbguns[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.5px]2. To find out who else in this forum has experienced similar issues with them.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.5px]For context, i have prepared a summary of my customer experience with justbbguns, see it below:[/SIZE]

I purchased 2 Airsoft rifles costing around £500 plus a load of accessories from this store a week ago. I went to an Airsoft game over the weekend and upon trying to use the rifles for the first time, they they both broke down within minutes. Both rifles had major faults, I had an on-site rifle specialist take a look at them and he informed me that they had already been opened and the Internals were tampered with, he said that they certainly weren’t new and are likely to be refurbished or returned faulty goods. I immediately tried to contact the store and have tried contacting them for 2 days, they don’t answer their phone, their online ticket system is a black hole which isn’t attended and after reading reviews I’ve seen how many others have experienced this very issue. They will sell you faulty equipment then avoid you and provide no means of getting a refund. Absolutely terrible business, this company are untrustworthy crooks, DO NOT BUY FROM Justbbguns....

[SIZE=10.5px]Has anyone else experienced similar issues with this company ? Whilst looking at google reviews i found hundreds of negative reviews all complaining about the same thing, they sell you faulty products, then avoid you and refuse to give refunds and replacements can take up to a year, which is ridiculous.  Please share you experiences here, also if you would like to share your details with me privately please dp as I am opening cases with trading standards UK & CrimeStoppers. Your help here to shut these crooks down and prevent them from ruining Airsoft for anyone else is much appreciated. [/SIZE]

Mmm, I have seen this issue of returned stock being sold as new levelled against several of the "fooBB.com" merchants.  Best of luck.

What criminal offence have they committed?

It's a shame you missed the other threads/search results about them as they have quite the reputation for being a blight on airsoft.

Hopefully you can get your money back.

Have a read here, https://www.lawontheweb.co.uk/personal/faulty-goods 

When it comes to faulty goods many consumers are unaware of the protection and statutory rights they are legally entitled to. Shops often exploit their customers' uncertainty and violate shoppers' statutory rights by shirking their legal responsibility to remedy situations by offering refunds, repairs or replacements.

Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, traders are legally responsible to sell goods which are

  • ‘as described’, meaning the the actual product must match any description(s) given to the customer before purchase by which the goods are identified
  • of satisfactory quality, that is they are of a standard that would reasonably be expected taking into consideration the price paid and description. In appropriate circumstances the quality of the goods will include freedom from minor defects, durability, safety, and  appearance and finish.
  • fit for all purposes made known to the seller at the time of purchase
They sold me & many others faulty products, if they knew that the guns were faulty (Which is suspect they did, considering the amount of faulty guns they sell & the fact that my products had been opened & tampered with prior to my purchase) then that is illegal

 
Got my first springer from this place, terrible service and completely ignorant towrads their customers. That said, the $70 I spent was well spent, love my trishot and couldn't get it anywhere cheaper.

 
You'll probably want to cite Fraud Act 2006 S2 Fraud by false representation rather than CRA 2015 if you're going to accuse them of being criminals.  CRA enumerates your tort rights, it doesn't create new criminal offences (except for obstructing an enforcement action or purporting to be an enforcer).

On that, I've invited justbbguns to exercise their right of reply in this thread.  Mostly for the lulz.

Pretty sure that useless fat cunt would take two years to one finger type "fuck you" on this thread.

 
Sitting Duck said:
This thread will never die.....

People will always buy from there first and regret it, like most of us did

by then it is too late to read this thread - you got scammed....

BUT - if you discover this thread then you will soon take a little comfort that you are not the only one to be tucked up

JBBG must spend ££££ on Google Adwords - coz they always come up top when looking for airsoft or bb guns

Hence so many newcomers get swept along and accept that this guy knows his stuff

(Bull$hit deffo but Airsoft hmmmmmmm.....)

if there was a Lidl or KwikSave in airsoft - it would be based in Twickenham

Hopefully people learn quickly and just buy from these clowns once or twice

think JBBG know this too and can't mug ya over & over again - but by then it won't matter

another sucker stumbles across these "pro's" in their search engine,,,,,,

The saying "one born every minute" comes to mind and so it continues - just like this thread

Unfortunately I am there latest victim it seems, I only just signed up to this forum, after spending £500 on faulty equipment from justbbguns, now the same old story goes on with them not answering the phone or reply to my emails/tickets. What a bunch of crooks, surely there must be a way to shut em down to stop them scamming anyone else. 

Let's see what trading standards & watchdog come back with...

 
Airsoft Forums UK saves the day again, I was thinking of getting an M249 from these guys. Think I'll either pay the extra to get it from Zero One or hold out for a good second hand.

In all fairness I usually avoid them like the plague but they had a Classic Army M249 on sale (£260 instead of £360) so I caved and took the risk and fuck me they delivered.

I got the M249 in good condition besides a slight crack in the stock which I fixed in 5 mins, it also came with a high cap but i instantly threw that shit away and got a box mag.

So far ran it 3 times and gun works perfectly!

That being said I might as well be Robert Patterson cause I am "the lucky one" it seems as everyone else seems to be getting screwed over.

So I probably won't risk it again........... unless they have a £200+ discount on something
