I read all the posts, I ignored them. I tried to give Evike the benefit of the doubt. I guess I should have listened. Placed an order around Feb 22nd or so which had a status change of "processing" the next day. That's it... It's now March 2nd and I've heard nothing more. I've emailed twice, ignored. I decided to call last night and was told they couldn't check my order because their internet was down and to call back in 20 minutes. Tried to call back in 20, guess what? CLOSED! I needed a few various items but the red dot was for a game so I ordered it from Evike thinking they could handle a one (1) item order and get it shipped out so it would show up in a week or so. Guess I was dead wrong. I also placed an order with RSOV who ALSO had the same red dot. I placed both ordered at the same time within 15 minutes of each other and the RSOV order just showed up. Pretty sad that RSOV who is all the way in Hong Kong can process, ship and have my order delivered faster then Evike can even let me know whats going on with my order. Glad I paid with my Credit Card via PayPal. Going to call them tonight and ask them to ship it or give me a refund. If they don't do one of the two within the next 24~48 hours I'm just going to do a charge back, cut my losses and order it from RSOV.

Epic failure, part two...
Called Evike back again tonight after work to find out what the hell was going on with my order and I finally got some useful information, well some what anyway.
My G&P T1 will ship roughly on the 15th... The 15th of APRIL!!!!
They tried to sell me a silver G&P T1 which would suck on a black gun. They tried to sell me a different red dot too. Even offered to upgrade me to the G&P Comp2 replica which was $30.00 dollars more but I have a LaRue Tactical riser already for the T1 so that didn't help much. I was pretty dang hot from the whole point of the thing anyway so I told them I wanted a full refund NOW!
Lets recap... It took 9 days, 3 emails and 2 phone calls to find out the thing was out of stock and back ordered til April 15th.
Epic failure! I will NEVER order from Evike again. Annoys me because RSOV has basically the same dang sight in-stock and my RSOV order I placed the same day is already here. I would have ordered it from RSOV has I known Evike was going to suck this much.
I see a lot of people say they will only order from Evike if they absolutely can't find the items else where. I'm pretty sure RSOV or one of the other Hong Kong dealers will have pretty much everything Evike does so next time, I'm just going to cut out the middle man and order from Hong Kong for that kinda stuff. Lesson learned I guess. Off to RSOV I go to order one I guess.

Evike is the worse. I feel your pain. Back in early January I had placed an order with them for a Scar L. 3 weeks later I finally received my red dot, mags, flashlight and a sling but no gun. About 6 emails 4 phone calls later they tell me its on back order. So I told them I want a full refund for the gun. Well some jackass took his sweet ass time and didn't get my refund in until about 2 weeks after I told them I want my money back. It took almost a month to get my money. This whole dilemma cost me about 150$ because I over drafted my bank account because I had to pay bills, the money wasn't there when it should have been. Evike will never get my money EVER again. EVIKE+AIRSOFT=FAIL!!

Evike Epic Failure Part #3
Well, as stated above I requested to cancel my order. They offered me 10% off if I wanted to buy something else so I finally decided to change my order to some other items they claimed in-stock.
It took them 2 days to finally SHIP the in-stock items and I had paid $11.60 for UPS, they sent the dang thing USPS First Class mail.
Ugh... They better credit me the difference in shipping or I'm going to do a charge back for the whole damn order threw the credit card company. Principle of the thing and all.

Evike is pretty hit or miss. I ordered a G&P rifle and a pistol with three mags and it was all delivered on the projected date. That was my first order from them tho...

I have had mixed experiences with them. Sometimes they are very helpful, sometimes i end up takling to some customer service rep who obviously doesn't give a crap about doing his job. Sometimes the merchandise is what it is supposed to be and sometimes it is crap. Sometimes the orders are backordered and not sent uptil I call them and gripe about the orders being late.

Ditto same experiences on recent orders with Evike and ditto on future ones...I'll only order from them as a last resort.
What amazes me is how bi-polar they seem to be. Some players have never had a bad experience with them, others have had nothing but bad experiences. I'm also amazed at how 'tolerant' people seem to be towards them. I've heard all sorts of excuses from other players such as "They are very big and very busy" and "3 weeks isn't that long to wait for an order of Airsoft stuff." I think they have just gotten very arrogant and accustomed to treating people like crap.

I ended up cancelling my back ordered M99 because they further back ordered it and didnt send me any notification. Now I am waiting for a refund. The guy said would take between 1 and 3 business days, it has been more than 7 days and still no refund has been given.

I haven't ordered from them in a while but I've never had any issues with them.
