Zero One and their Consistently Dubious Business Pratices

[joshcowin]

I will agree with ed on this one z1 forums are a sham to airsoft and make themselves lol silly by not letting to mention any other retailers. As for the shop i have had a hit and miss with them first time ran smooth as butter.2nd time I had to send photo evidence aswell as ukara for some reason to purchase a gun which then they took 6 working days before they sent it out and came out with the excuses. Even at the nae some of the guys seem very clicky and off don't get me wrong a lot of them are decent people. I think if you stick to fire support,airsoft zone and patrol base you can't go wrong

Online I didn't have a problem apart from one item which wasn't sent until I called them and asked where it was.

But when I went there in person the guy serving didn't seem happy I was in the shop more like an annoyance and inconvenience even though I bought a case pistol 2 mags and gloves but hey ho

Had a similar thing at socom tactical. Went there about 18 months ago to get a back up gun for friends to use and a new tac light. Asked to try out a gun to see how it shot lad behind the counter just shrugged and said cant do as on his own in the shop and carried on chatting to the other lad in the shop he obviously knew. Didnt offer to lock up for a few minutes or anything.

So I thought whatever went to look at lights and they had the element foregrip light combo but was way above the price of any where else. I asked if they could do anything about the price got a curt no while he rolled his eyes at the lad he was talking to.

Walked out and will never go back which is a shame as normally I try and support local businesses.

I can't vouch for whoever served you but I bought my Krytac LMG from them yesterday and the staff were all really helpful. I got a bit salty a while back as there was a mix up on a BB order I placed with them(to be fair it was a mistake, they apologised and it was all sorted), but I thought I would give them another go and I'm glad I did. I'll put all the info about yesterday in the places to buy thread.

Might have just walked in a bad day but I am not very forgiving.To be honest best service I have ever had from a uk store was patrolbase.

I'm much the same when it comes to shops to be fair, if I had someone be rude or act uninterested it would take some convincing to get me to go back. The only experience I really ever have with shops is the sales side of things as I think it's a massive ballache sending stuff back months down the line, to the point where i'd rather get the local tech to sort it for me and be out of pocket.

I have made about 5 orders from them over the past and TBH only had issues with just one order which was an item which was shown instock on the website but out of stock in reality, wasnt a major problem they just refunded me the cash.

Mind you i have only bought 1 gun from them and that went smoothly, everything else from them has mostly been parts, mags and accessories.

As for their forum i have made some decent buys on there and often they even have more classifieds on the Z1 forums than on here but again i hate the way they moderate it, any mention of any retailer or if theres anything they dont like the sound of then BAM! warning.

Personally my go to Airsoft shop is Airsoft Zone in Romford.

 

[proffrink]

Oh yeh, Zero In has the most classifieds of any UK forum. Far more than on here, but like you say it's just too poorly moderated for discussion.

Just went to order 2 items with a value of 20 quid...

Royal mail 1st class postage 8 quid....

2nd class 7.50...

That's bloody ridiculous as the items weigh sod all

Actually put me off buying them
