So I was browsing around and posibly considering beginning to buy paintballs online. Anyone have experiences with service, quality or overall experience with online stores and purchasing paintballs?

**PaintViper** · December 26th, 07:57 PM

My first time I bought a case of paint online, 2 bags were broken. I was pretttttyyy pissed. It was also my last time buying paint online.

However, my friend buys paint online alot and never has any problems with it - I guess it depends on teh brand and where you get it from...

Isn't shipping a *****, cause of the weight?

**mavsfan31** · December 26th, 08:01 PM

Always get ground shipping. Air shipping can mess things up.

If you get free shipping, it's not a problem. Just order 2 cases at a time and see if any friends want to.

it matters where u get them from if u get it from a nice place they will package it nice but if u get one from a crappy place u r screwed

**Sh00t em Up** · December 26th, 08:47 PM

pm me any nice places be sure to space.

**Jester of Paint** · December 26th, 08:51 PM

go through well know places such as the village ect. also look at the shipping for places and see if they will refund or replace the item if it is damaged while being shipped

Doesn't xpaintball have free shipping? I think they sell paint?

**Sh00t em Up** · December 27th, 10:28 AM

Yea they have free shipping and I got my pants through them so I may go with the village or xpaintball just because the one place down here that sell them for a good price (RPS Premium for $25) is constantly having to restock and reorder so they sometime dont have good priced practice paint.

i got a thousand paintballs online and not one was broken ill pm you the site but its not free shipping unless you get over a certain price =\

***phantom_rocker*** · December 27th, 10:40 AM

jsut go to a sight where u get free shipping for oders over sooo much. I bought paintballs online a few times, none were broken when i got them

***DarkTamer*** · December 27th, 10:44 AM

I've ordered abuot a dozen cases of paint online, shipped via UPS. Never had a single ball broken. It was many different kinds too, not just one kind.

i know you dont want to hear this, but support your local paintball shop. then you have no shipping fees, and shouldnt have trouble with getting ****ty paint

QFT.

I agree to support your local proshop on most things, but IMO paint is an exception. If most proshops are similar to mine, charging $65 a case for Nel-Splat is just bull****.

**Sh00t em Up** · December 27th, 11:26 AM

Ok maybe I'll call ahead and reserve a couple cases

xpaintball:

Anyone have this code?
pm

**Sh00t em Up** · December 27th, 08:14 PM

How about no.

***prodigy911*** · December 28th, 01:57 PM

I never buy paint from our local shop because they dont sell cases they just sell by 100, 200, and 300 and its 18.00 for 300 paintball I just cant make all of that last so its not worth it the shop is real crappy and its the only one close to us but for buying paint online I would suggest village I have only ordered from them I didnt have a single ball break.

**BrokenMonkey** · December 28th, 02:30 PM

My local shop is $42 per case of core paint, pretty good deal it think.
