Back in Airsoft wheewww!

After being out of the sport for a while due to affordability (university student), I'm back. I ordered a well mb08 from the states (airsoft gi) and it cleared customs yesterday. I'm soo excited, I wanted OD green but it was out of stock so I ended up purchasing tan. Got the gun for 25% off so a total of $110 excluding shipping.

Did you have to pay extra brokerage and tax? Also did you buy the Canadian upgrade package?

Upgrade package are for guns that shoot less then 366.

This sniper shoots ~440 fps, it'll clear perfectly.

The gun itself was low, $110, I HIGHLY doubt he had to pay brokerage and taxes.

I thought the legal speed is 366 - 407? wouldn't 440 be considered controlled firearm?
My personal experience is that UPS always gets me into brokerage situations, other shipping companies have been fine for me. Hopefully he's not dealing with UPS.

Lol no. 366-500. Usually if your item is over $100 that's when you get hit with taxes and such. I order parts and stuff from Brownells a little over $100 and is fine. Upsp FTW. I know several people that grab WE rifles with discounts on GI and evike, but pay brokerage and taxes. Still cheaper then local.

366 is the lower limit to avoid the prohibited replica status. The upper limit for uncontrolled firearms is 500 fps and/or 5.7J muzzle energy.

UPS sucks.

I absolutely agree about UPSP, i ship with them on evike and even when it's like $200 i don't get any trouble. I always pay more for the UPSP option over the UPS one, but on airsoft GI i only seem to find UPS...

yeah

I think you can allow it if there is a team that does it. But also if you do all assignments PapersBattle.com of work on time, then you can be allowed to use it. So I wish you good luck.
