Respected Retailers - BuyPaintball.ca

Listen Up!

I have something that needs to be said about a particular retailer, and before you go making assumptions, NO I haven't been asked or enticed to write this article. I was inspired to write this review after my interactions with the customer support team who I've come to know as 'Nick' from www.buypaintball.ca.

Buypaintball.ca:

A small, family-owned paintball shop located in London, Ontario (exact details to follow) and I was floored by their service quality and pricing.

Now it typically takes me having some sort of real personal connection for me to mention a retailer on here, my Paintball Weazels post came from my acquaintanceship with Mr. Sarge Morin, but in this case I couldn't NOT write up a review. Having come across BuyPaintball.ca in my search for my very first marker package, they were one of the best prices for the kit that I could find ANYWHERE. I can honestly say that they'll be a staple in my paintball gear search from here on out and that ANYONE looking to get themselves some 'balling gear NEEDS to give them a browse.

If you're a London local, or if you're going through the area, you should definitely check out their IRL (In Real Life) store Flagswipe Paintball. I've listed "buypaintball.ca" but that's just their online operation.

Superior Service:

So, a little more about my experience aside from the competitive pricing and generic references about how awesome it was getting to talk to them.

I was in the market for a Tippmann A5 marker package (as you guys will no-doubt know from my posts thus-far) and came across Flagswipe/BuyPaintball.ca in my search. I sent an email to them inquiring about the package they offered, what options were available, and I sent this on the SATURDAY of the long-weekend. I then settled in expecting to be made to wait until today to get a response but on Easter Monday I get a bright-and-early email letting me know exactly what they can offer, the details of each item in the package and again folks, all of this coming in on the Saturday... Honestly, I'm barely ABLE to haul my butt out of bed on a Saturday, much less on a long weekend but Nick was ready, willing, and able to help me out.

I'm sure Nick'll wind up reading this and potentially be a little perturbed as to how I managed to snag a pic of him as Google wasn't giving up anything and I couldn't find a "meet the staff" type section of the Flagswipe website. If you want to check out the video I screen-shotted this from and more, you can find them on Youtube HERE or by searching for "Flagswipe Paintball". They're also on Facebook HERE. 

Flagswipe's Calendar of Events - 2013

Honestly fellow 'ballers, You owe it to yourselves to take a look at Flagswipe/BuyPaintball.ca. If you don't, it's your loss and that's not being harsh, it's just the truth. Their facility caters to everyone and anyone, they've got indoor AND outdoor playing areas, paintball, laser combat simulation and airsoft... Short of the kitchen sink there's not much they DON'T have and really, would you want your kitchen sink being on their paintball field? Haha probably not.

Cashing Out:

I can tell you right now that I'll be putting some serious coin into the Flagswipe cash registers (digitally speaking as I don't get to London often) or at the very least I'll be looking to them first for any gear I need. I've never met a retailer so customer-focused in my paintball expreriences. If you're looking to get into the sport, please check out www.buypaintball.ca. It's for your own good. I'd say "Tell'em Joshua sent you" but it wouldn't make a difference... EVERYONE gets the best customer service possible regardless of who you know. Quality service, equality and paintball for all! That's how they play the game.

That's all for tonight readers, just remember...

Keep calm and throw paint!
