Propane adapters/Evike = bad customer service

Or...or...order it from AONW and have it shipped Monday, to arrive today.

That worked for me--I just got my parts delivered today.

That's only enough time to process 18 orders. This is why "processing" time is quoted in 1-3 days. Placing an order on a weekend means that you can pretty much guarantee that 3 day processing time. If you really want them to process it ASAP, you need to call them and pester them about getting it shipped out (if it's in stock, which Evike doesn't like to update on their website). Yes, you want it now, but you aren't going to get it now. You have to wait. If you really wanted it now, you should have gone to AONW and purchased one on site.

I would agree with this except for a few minor details... For example Evike is both a on-line and Brick and mortar store... therefore, the gentlemen filling orders are probably NOT the same gentlemen that are taking care of questions about M-4's.
Secondly by Your math, at 18 orders a day, they would be able to process the first 100 orders 5 days not 3, and this doesn't account for any more orders they may get during the week... This means they would need to hire a second employee to also do this same job, which will make the time it takes to process orders less...
The fact is... EVIKE sucks... they ship their low end crap out fast and make is as easy as possible so they can get return customers that will either buy more low end crap that will break soon, forcing they buyer to buy more stuff... OR they will buy higher end product from Evike that is over priced... That's just how Evike works. That's why the veteran people say it sucks and all these newer players try and defend it again and again...

If you really wanted it now, you should have gone to AONW and purchased one on site.

that is the truth!

I would recommend the Airsoft Innovations. Even though it's plastic/nylon, it's the best one, in my opinion. MadBull would be second, but stay away from the Sapien Arms if you can.

I ended up grabbing a madbull off evike because they were the only place that had the kp45 tomb raider mags still in stock. My first experience with Evike and I say they SUCK! I order it Sunday night and its tuesday and they still haven't shipped it or gave me tracking info. Order says it still processing to the shipping center... I order a lot of things online and all of them have shipped by the next day I ordered. I just hope it comes in by friday because I will be out for the weekend.

I would have bought it from AONW but they do not sell! KP45 Match Magazines.. I bought my Kp45 there so why would I not buy mags.. I check their site and I didn't see it and then I researched and found only the Match magazines will fit into this gun.. ASGI said so and I want to be safe. Like I said most online places I buy usually ship next day for me and if Evike does it in 2-3 days while say ASGI, AONW does it in one so I I will buy from them whenever I can. Its just the fact that they are the only place that sells the stuff in stock that I had made this order.

I have never had an order from Evike, ASGI, KWA, workingpersonstore.com, 511tactical.com, or any other retailer ship the next day. It takes time to process the order. Processing an order includes: printing an invoice; checking inventory; getting a shipping quote; physically pulling the items from their locations; packaging; and being picked up by the shipping company. You need to learn patience. Like I said, the only way to get things aright the shazaam now, is to walk into a store and buy it right there.

To prove that something is up and fishy on Evike right now. Go to Evike and see that they are back ordered and processing time is no 3-5 days to process orders due to the new system. I had a bad gut feeling about this and I was right. Just bad luck is all. If you are saying the only way to get it right is to walk to the store and do it, what store can I go to to find a Kp45 match mag if AONW doesn't provide it?

On evike, there not responsible for the products they sell, you should do research before you buy something. There are many great deals on evike, for instance, a custom we tech 1911 hi capa with 2 mags and free shipping only available on evike for 110. I bought it for my first sidearm, all metal, no leaky mags, works great. Say you want to buy paintball 6mm bb's. You use them in your aeg. They break, cause a problem, and your all upset. You can't blame evike for a product you bought from them but you didn't like. They get their products from the companys and they sell those products through their buisness for money. Really it's like buying an item that comes from a company just at a different price. Call me a nub all you want if I buy from evike and say their good. I have had excellent service and no problems with them. The worst thing they say is that an item is on backorder.

According to Nakagawa's post on ASR:

As for the mag compatibility, the only thing stopping it from using other KP45 series mag is the metal mag well on the bottom of the pistol grip. I took it off one time to see if my mag from my KP45 would fit and it clicked in fine (however I also had to take the magazine base plate off the KP45 Mag, due to the fact that the Match mags are longer).

So, you can use regular KP45 Tactical mags in the Match. Now you really have no excuses. Stop bitching about having to wait for something when you failed to do the necessary leg work to fully understand what your options were.

What if I specifically wanted match mags? ASGI did a review that said that the usp only fitted match mags so I wanted to be safe. I like buying the match mags because that's how my gun should look and it would match with my other original mag. If you can see tactical mags and match mags look different.

I stand corrected EVIKE SUCKS! I called them and they said it will be shipped on memorial day which is not really a working day so its going to be on tuesday and it will probably come friday or saturday... Two weeks of wait if you expect anything from evike.

[Jester316]

I generally stay away from retailer reviews. They will hype up a product so they can sell more. Case in point saying that only the math mags work. Others work and are available. Really, stop bitching about waiting. Try waiting 8 weeks to find out if you passed an online nationally certifying test in your chosen career field.

I'll have to do that when I get my engineering license. No pressure really since I am ahead of the game and usually don't fail. I almost never read reviews unless its from a reliable source. I will wait, its not like I am going to any game soon anyways.

[Patrick750]

my friend has an adapter with a spring that only releases the gas when the nozzle is in the mag or whatever you're putting it in. mine is just solid red and spews gas whenever i screw it on or off. super annoying.

I win, Evike sucks! So finally, after more than a week for Evike to process my shipping order they decided to ship my stuff. Happy to see that they were sending my stuff finally, I started to not care anymore about the wait. But then today I received an email about my MATCH MAGS being out of stock and they have no ETA when I asked them. If they were able to produce a ETA I would have waited longer but screw that it could take two+ weeks for them to restock and another week for them to process the shipping again. Funny thing is their site says their magazines are still in stock.

At least my propane adapter & other stuff is coming. But the main objective was to obtain MATCH magazines which Evike failed to do so.

Great Evike just wasted my time, thanks a lot Evike. *Refund*

I concur with OJ.....ASONW, Precision out of Spokane or AEX out of Santa Clara almost always get stuff to me Pronto. I like to deal with them as they are closest to me / us. From asia I like ehobbyasia or uncompany, although I must grit my teeth when paying freight.

Dude did you not read? I would have gladly purchased fron AONW for I get almost all my stuff there but they did not have MATCH mags. This was my first time purchasing anything from Evike.
