Ordering from Kapowwe.com ?

[lookout]

Ok so I placed my first order from www.kapowwe.com about 2 weeks ago. Since the order, they processed my Card ( no big deal if my stuff has shipped ) but, it's been about 2 weeks since I recieved my USPS shipping confirmation number and no package.. What's the deal ? It's only a NCstar Laser sight and the correct mounting hardware for my M203 so it fits tight. Should take 3-4 days from Texas. Of course I'm assuming since I have shipped heavier items to Vancouver Canada and they recieved them in 5 and that had to go through customs. ( Not to mention, I've had many orders come from Hong Kong, Germany, Japan and England that have been recieved by me in 9-10 days. ) Not all orders but most.

Anyway, I emailed them asking about my package to make sure it comes to the correct address. ( Occasionally the delivery people reverse my address and it goes down the street. They send it to 1101 instead of 1011 .)

Well, I got my reply from them today and they said that they were waiting on shipments before they could ship my stuff ? What the hell ? But, my mount came in so they would ship it out today, I'll be waiting about 2 more weeks for the laser to come in.

Why do people sell items they don't have in stock ? www.AirsoftGi.com doesn't do that. They actually remove items from their site when their out and put them back up when they have more.

Anyway, has anyone else ordered from them and had a delay for such a small order ? I mean come on, It's not an AEG for crying out loud. But, then again I guess I'm not the most patient person.

Regardless of your patience level, you are absolutely justified in your frustration. When a dealer promises you a shipment in X amount of days, it should get there in X amount of days, or at least within about 2 days of X. The reason that companies do that is because they know that they have to go through a complicated process to get you your order, no matter how small or large. They promise 2 weeks, but they know its going to be longer, than they make excuses about their orders being late.

As for this site "Kapowwe", it seems like a site to stay away from. Honestly does "Kapowee" imply "Airsoft"?

But sometimes it is just a mix up. My dad got me a gift that he ordered on Dec.9th for my Christmas gift and it didn't get here until Dec.28th. Turns out they shipped it to some house in Anaheim, California, and we ordered from a reliable company.

So had I been in your shoes, I'd have canceled my order, and taken my hard earned money elsewhere, cause frankly, I wouldn't support companies who let those kinds of things happen. You pay them to do their job, and no job=no pay.

So to answer your question, no. I personally have not had an order that screwed up. Of course I have never ordered from this site, nor will I thanks to your thread. You have probably saved a few people who will see this from the same dismay.

Also, I would not order from them because their prices are really high. Go to airsplat.com. Their prices are better.
