Airsoft GI - Out of Stock Inventory Answers - State of the Community Address

[residentpainairsoft]

Don't be that guy man if you have a problem with it maybe YOUR airsoft retailer can help you out VVVVVVVV

[prezjords12]

This video just kinda makes it look like its not their fault for all their stuff being out of stock, that incident happened about 2-3 years ago, and this video was made over a year ago, stop stalling already! You have a lot of customers not picking you anymore for their airsofting, including me!

[chairsofter1911]

sometimes, you guys say its out of stock, but you happen to have it.

[SwadianRPServer]

UGHHH get the flaming hog damnit... me and 5 of my friends want it...

[randomdude1426]

lol im so lucky i live in hong kong. airsoft is like a fuckin national sport here

[ChadnAngies1Fan]

Didnt you put the kjw .22 tactical carbine on pre-order and then you took it off your website?!?

[TheCaptainAlmight131]

What if what I want is supposed to be made in Taiwan?

[JdmTheMilitaryMan]

I wish Evike took note of this video, maybe they'll actually send me the item after I buy it for once. I cant tell you how many times I've bought something that wasn't marked out of stock when it actually was and then had to cancel the order cuz they have no idea when theyre getting it back in stock. its annoying as hell. its happened so much I just dont bother with them anymore. and Evike's customer service is a pile of shit compared to ASGI's.

[gto3440]

it also doesnt help that alot of shops around the country order most of what you guys get in stock for their own shops...ive seen videos from supposed ''big time dealers'' saying they get most (if not all) of their stock from you guys...i personally think that makes us suffer when we try to order from the best and most honest dealer...though it is understandable why they would order from you guys for that very reason...but they also need to realize that we want our guns from you guys...not them

[turtletongue22]

why dont we just fucking make the guns!!! shit!!!

[thawhiteflip]

i just want a damn TM 1911A1

[alertsik]

but china guns kinda suk....................



[lasallegreenhills]

@alertsik you do realize that most guns for airsoft are made in China Taiwan, etc

[alertsik]

@lasallegreenhills well yeah taiwan is the preferred country of manufacture

[WisconsinMilsim]

exactly, evike obviously had 2 mags instock cuz this tan mag i ordered, i ordered 5 of them and they put it on backorder and screwed me over and i havmt got them in 3 monthes

[sieve5]

*cough*evike*cough*

[JungSwon]

@llamamilk96 if the airsoft products were made in the us, yeah that would bring job opportunities, but like u said because of the labor problem the workers will have to get minimum like $7 per hour...that means a little spring pistol from china tat costs $20 would actually cost like $200 dollars or more(not a statistic, just random numbers) and there seems to be very little people in us that would want to work at a manufacturing factory for toys and etc.

[ImmexicanBITCH]

@Mysterysandwitch evike has the same stuff at a better price thats y i shop at evike but i like these vids

[SpartanCXVII]

@ImmexicanBITCH Yeah but what Tim says about them is true. They like to hold on to your money.

[llamamilk96]

Everyone saying that manufacturing airsoft guns in the united states are right. If they are made in the US you could restock more quickly plus it would create jobs helping the economy. The only problem would be labor because in china labor is cheaper and thats why people choose to make their products in china.

[fearthegeeklord]

Wait, are you saying that you're illegally smuggling airsoft guns out of china?

[AbyssalHunt3r]

that explains why g&g are like always in stock lol

[Mysterysandwich]

Some of out competitors think that its okay to take your money *cough* Evike *cough*

[zeldaman234]

well this just goes to show that we need to pull out of china and start making things here in the U.S. of A!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Chawwwwwley]

Tim I was actually surprised when you told me you can't materialize airsoft guns out of mid air because you are in essence the asian jesus

[majorSH0CK]

HMMMM maybe you shouldnt have new things every week

[HowsTheHonda]

Howcome we can;t order from AirsoftGI&Evike anymore?

every time we try to place an order it says unavailable to ship to address.but the airsoft shops here are still ordering from evike and airsoft gi whatsup with that?

[reeldeal16]

wait a sex does that mean i could order a gun and never get it?!

[grogyboy20]

ok earlier when this video first came out there was an argument about gi vs evike.....gi is better because of the reason tim said half of the itmes on evike r pre-order....plus if u try to post a comment on evikes youtube videos it says comment pending review....meaning evike looks over the comment and desides if they want to post it or not its because they dont want any bad press gi doesnt do that

[triggrhappywardog217]

ppl need to stop buying chinese crap!!!!!!!!!!!! they own us because of that.

[baken911]

I've waited 2 fucking months for a gi g 700 and i still don't have one!!! evike baby here i come.

[7OscarMike]

The china ban was news long ago as for your business here...

you are about 6 months to late on your speech...you lost my patronage 3 months ago.

[ThePeturd]

what i would like to see with your barcode inventory thing, is an actual number on how many you guys have in stock in the warehouse, and how many more will arrive in the next definite shipment.

[stupify4life]

like sooo many of evike's item's are on pre-order. that's why i dislike evike.

[INDIANAfisherman37]

if some of the guns i would love to have arent back in by October 31, i might i have to switch over to EVIKE!!!!!!!!!!!

[ThePeturd]

@INDIANAfisherman37 thats not the best idea. of the 3 orders ive placed at evike, one was delayed 2 months, 1 was partially shipped with the rest discontinued, and the other delayed a month. not to say they arent a good retailer, but they need to step it up in terms of customer service. ive only placed one order at airsoft gi, but it was on my doorstep in about a week.

[INDIANAfisherman37]

Can you guys please put on the website when approximently the gun will be back in stock? Im running out of guns to buy!

[legendxesiv]

At least you know when guns are unavailable..... unlike Airsplat.

[DoubleOhQuang]

Pre-Order....haha, yeah right. Like evike.com, where half their crap is on preorder or backorder. I'm never ordering from that website again.

[ccoollkkiidd]

Thank's for being honest. Another point goes to airsoftgi!

[Killermuffin1]

China effs everything up.

[xjleitex15]

im so pumped that the fmg4 is coming out soon but then again by the time i buy it its gonna be out of stock ..probably in a day or two

[djgunner258]

is the bar code system called rfid?

[orchimaru123]

I REALLY NEEED TO FIND OUT WHATS THAT GUN ON THE COVER ECHO 1 AGHH

[HurtsWhenYouLaugh]

1:30: Evike burn. (OH SNAP)

[JaksProductions]

here is a little suggestion for you guys :) : you should get a proper microphone for the audio, the one you are using at the moment is just terrible. the video quality is okay, but the audio ain't. dont take this comment to seriously, its just a suggestion.

[Arekkusu723]

Pre-order? *cough cough EVIKE cough cough*

[bunnystein223]

Its funny the only ones that are are the high end comapanies like VFC that are made out of china are in mass quanities lol

[hoffmanna32]

@SERGEANTM36

ya when i found this out it made so mad i olny shop airsoft gi now

i bought an m4 on pre order and never got it i had to demand my money back

[MrDEGROSKY]

arent g&g from taiwan? if not ive been lied to and want my money back. if so why are the g4s out of stock?

[SERGEANTM36]

Does Evike do this

[cccplt]

one more question....WHY DONT YOU HAVE ANY TM AEG's !!!!!!!

[MurderousPandas]

Why aren't there any Wal-Marts in Afghanistan?

Because there's targets on every corner!

[bonya666]

@MurderousPandas haha

[st4ngeI2]

@MurderousPandas bwahahahhaha - zing - well done sir, well done

[triggrhappywardog217]

@MurderousPandas haha!

[AfrojacX]

@MurderousPandas AAAAAAAAAH

*Ba-dum tssssh*

[solidus927]

@MurderousPandas HAHAH!!! !AWESOME!!!

[jasondaman8]

Not to bring down AirsoftGI or sound like an ass, but if you have a good relationship with these chinese manufacturers and you have the money to make sure things happen, does that mean that AirsoftGI is partaking in the smuggling of these airsoft guns? I am only asking an honest question that I clearly don't understand the answer to.

[Hunter1428]

Is this the same for the UK as well? because a lot of our stuff over here is out of stock!

[softairfan93]

airsoft gi is so great, they really care about their purchasers and they really read the comments. Thumbs up

[TMSAirsoft]

so we don't legally own our guns. we just bouught an illegal gun that hay been illegallly sold from china.

[dzMonsterr23]

so all ur guns were summgled from china O_O

[TheAirsoftdude1996]

GO AIRSOFT GI!!!!!! ALL THE WAY XD

[MrJd0808]

This is why i shop at airsoftgi THEY LISTEN TO THE COMMUNITY.

[Arathlo]

Tim, ASGI Staff, ASGI buyers, you all fucking rock.

[mrdaniels4]

1:35 OH SNAP!!!!!

[attmlb]

Okay Tim i'm glad you were frank that was really good especially in that you explained why, i can keep waiting if it means we get them at a better price and completly legitimitly. Thanks tim for once again doing somthing no other retailer is doing. 1 more reason why im going to be making most if not all of my future airsoft purcheses from you

[slycayman]

THANKS!

[TKDgeehun]

Thanks ASGI for doing the right thing and giving us the best quality equipment! Good luck!

[gto745]

i was view # 4000! yay!

[TheCrazed556]

@gto745 Mine says 3,999 views... 0.0

[XxsHaDoWxOfxInTeNtxX]

lol tim with his big words

[UnknownProductions0]

the idiots in china should bring their factories to the US. quality goes up, production goes up. everyone wins.

[lalew2]

@UnknownProductions0 - cost will also go up - labor is cheap in China

[bjb9976benboben]

So from what i understand the problem is with chinese manufactured guns, right? So why are guns such as kwas which arent made i chinia never in stock. I ordered a kwa m1911 awhile ago and paid for it but it was out of stock, your website said it was in stock and im still waiting for my m1911.

[DarkEclips]

Anyone else notice that half of Evikes Online Inventory is Pre-Order. Its fucking stupid. AirSoft Gi all the way.

[tychothereborn]

Another great reason why I have only gotten my airsofting stuff from ASGI

[TheMil360]

This is y i only shop at Airsoft Gi no BS

[rangerofgondor8]

I want to but a tim patch!

[obertmovies]

thnx tim

[egoleech]

I'd love to order from you but you don't ship overseas.

But I understand that. too much shit to take care of.

[st4ngeI2]

Tim - with the power of Airsoft GI (and other large US retailers) - is there a reason why (or maybe it's already happened) that you couldn't band together and push some of these rebranding companies to begin manufacturing right here in the USA?

I personally wouldn't mind paying more for a quality US made product as it would mean a longer MFG warranty, better customer support and RMA, better distribution and availability etc..etc..I think US mfg would make the sport even more popular.

[protogenxl]

@st4ngeI2 They should move production to American Samoa it's technically America but it's Not.

[NickDenning3]

@st4ngeI2

id like to see a reply from ASGI on this comment

[kingd3001]

@st4ngeI2 <----I strongly agree with you

[HOTTESTHERE]

@st4ngeI2 and sweden might consider buying in more if this happend to so i would also like this to happen

[wombimbi]

@st4ngeI2

copyrights? that's a majority to why its done over there in the first place. cheap labor, materials, and loose government up until recently. prices would go up exponentially for them to be produced here... that's why there are many moving towards taiwan and other countries for mfg while the company HQ is in china

[DeadMetalGraffiti]

i wish Airsoft GI could materialize Airsoft guns!

[KCIDvGIBvATTOGi]

tim is like, the fuckin... barack obama of airsoft..

[Reptile656]

@KCIDvGIBvATTOGi That's not a good thing....

[snowball807]

@KCIDvGIBvno timmeh is badass barack  can suck #**#

[ultimentra]

Hell yes finally, someone gives evike the big middle finger they deserve! Go ASGI! Also, sportsline models are on the rise to fill in the gap people. ICS, SRC, G&G sportslines will always beat Chinese Clones!

[Dogfather95]

YAY! NO MORE CHINESE CLONES!!

[metalchocobo410]

woahh this makes perfect sense!!! no wonder all the clones disappeared

[TheJedi270]

We feel the same way about it. cant get it dont sell it

[TheJedi270]

Thank you Tim. As a retailer you saved me from having to say it myself.

[imdarrellkthx]

I just asked my friend about why America doesnt make them, and pretty much, if we made them, you'd be paying the price of custom guns for even standard m4s.

[madtweaked]

I would rather perfer to see that an item is "Out Of Stock" than to say "Instock" and then order the item only to find out from the sales rep that its on "Backorder" and they still take your money. It has happend to me 4 out of the 5 times I've ordered from certian airsoft retailers (I will respect ASGI wishes and not say who it was) lets just say it wassn't ASGI :)

[tthalott]

leapers or UTG has a building in Ann arbor .MI

[ArcticFox1095]

maybe if they would open up some airsoft manufactoring places here, there would be jobs, dont have to worry about illeagality, and even better quality control! who cares if the company doesnt make a bigger profit than before! atleast youll make a profit.

[DarkEclips]

I think its better to have the item out of stock instead of like Evike and their god dam Pre-orders. I ordered a JG Bar-10 and its been a month and a half and still nothing. They took my money but not im just waiting everyday for the dam email that it's been shipped.

[cheezequeso]

Psh evike man they been saying they would get in the Matrix bar since Febuary and its still not in

[tthalott]

@cheezequeso wat evike does is they put matrix in normal products name and ses its theres pretty much and they think matrix is the best

[SwordStinger]

oh so when do you think you can get the UHC VP-70 airsoft gun

[g4bandit]

I'm glad I got my guns while they were still in stock. but the prices were much higher than they should have been because of this =/

[OverwatcherWang]

Tim looks angry when he says "Don't forget to have FUN while playing airsoft."

[kmastakzr]

Evike does that preorder thing. They take forever to ship and have left me on the line for at least 10 mins. I support ASGI 100% for their outstanding customer service, quick shipping, and ethical business.

[satanicwolf360]

anybody know if they deliver to england??

[fatmanpez]

maybe stocking up on better grade guns would be better, or investing in un heard of brands that do things right

[AlliedAirsoft]

Thanks Gi! needed to know what was going on.

[darkerik411]

YA I WAS A FACEBOOK ASKER

[masonf18]

I miss the old PSA.

[superchinnychinchin]

there no putting half of their things on pre order..... cough cough......evike

[MikeG1679]

Evike will take your money!

[gaarachibikun]

SUCESS!!!

[Jakelton117]

GI Your the best :) I really hope that the community can understand that shipping things from China, especially with the current legal issues, is not a simple process. I know I am not going to go buy any cheap Chinese crap from Wal-Mart while you restock, because GI, you guys care :D

[AirsoftinGamer]

this is the main reason i havent bought a single thing from airsoftgi in over a year as for evike/airsoftpost ive made about 6 seperate orders since last year and most items had pre-order on them but i still got them within 1-2 weeks

[juantheswan561]

AIRSOFT GI IS THE SHIT! I LOVE TIM.

[XxXxYourselfxXxX]

Lieing baldy !

[XxXxYourselfxXxX]

Lieing baldy !

[RadicalSrfrBoy]

so in a way ASGI is supporting something illegal in another country? LOL

[MP5rules]

@RadicalSrfrBoy no. they are doing the opposite...

[RadicalSrfrBoy]

@MP5rules oh. well as long as theyre not its all good LOL. im still a fan of ASGI anyway

[NotQuiteTheMan]

Is that what happend to Ares PPSH-41?

[americanpaintball]

thats bull i think tim can materialize guns out of thin air... him and his god like powers....

[CallsignRaven1]

Wait wait wait, they can't materialize airsoft guns out of thin air??

[cmzangetsu1993]

there is no porblem with the whole out of stock thing in my opinion

If china cant make guns China cant make guns. I personally don't mind saving up a little extra cash to buy a higher quality gun like a G&G or any other guns of that caliber

[MP5rules]

@cmzangetsu1993 some people and new players can't afford taht. Did you ever buy a clone?

[cmzangetsu1993]

@MP5rules to be honest no

i started out with a crappy walmart gun

and than i saved up enough to buy a WE PDW

and a WE 1911 MEU

and than realized that i should have baught an AEG

and a G&G sportsline is only 140 bucks whichs is in the range of clone guns and is still significantly better from what i have heard

[DarkJester117]

sorry I mean does this inckude the CA Full Metal M14 EBR Airsoft Gun?

[Snipeyou1]

you make it sound like its drug deal

[DarkJester117]

does this include one of the M14 EBR airsoft guns?

[DwarfioHax]

Tim, dress up in some baby get-up. Use it in a skit, or don't. Just do it.

You look like such a baby, and I love you.

[psychosniper333]

i hope top tech makes an new t4-18

[CharlieJulietEcho]

This video pretty much covers why I went from using Evike exclusively to using AirsoftGI exclusively.

[Merceinarie080]

this is why i like asgi i think their customer service out performs that of any rival company love you asgi keep up the good work

[Airsoft109z]

POOP! D:

[halotango3]

i wonder why there arent any american manufacturers of airsoft guns

[BlazerTheAshbringer2]

@halotango3 echo1 my friend....echo1

[xxMRGRENADExx]

@halotango3 are gearboxes patented? if not then idk a us company should make them

[chilidaugz]

@halotango3 Because you have the right (under certain conditions) to purchase a real firearm. Airsoft wouldn't last as long if it was.

[MaisonHorne]

@halotango3 I think the US would crack down MUCH harder on licensing and patents making replica guns very expensive to produce.

[zackromack]

@halotango3 (Im an American) but probably because most Americans are to lazy.

[aldave]

@halotango3 I think there is, but with extremely limited quantities and extremely high prices.

[rpglover101]

@halotango3 Because the USofA isn't a nation of producers. It was, once. Now, it's a nation of consumers. We get most of our products from southeast Asian countries.

[ChunkyMilkProduction]

@halotango3 actually UTG surprisingly has one of their higher grade m4s around $220 that is made in the US

[SiXAXiSMofo]

@halotango3 kwa? lol

[jasondaman8]

@SiXAXiSMofo KWA is made in Taiwan

[halotango3]

@SiXAXiSMofo theyre made in taiwan...

[airplanenut89]

@halotango3 Part of it is the expense that would go into domestic made airsoft guns due to business/union regs that would have to be met to start factories in the US which drives up final costs for the gun. Not to mention that labor in China is cheaper than labor in the US. If that's not the case though then I don't why we're not mass producing airsoft guns when we are fully cpable of mass producing firearms. I would certainly like to buy an AEG from Ehco1 USA and have it say "Made in the USA".

[bolingersa]

@halotango3 KWA is American, they have been since they started a while ago.

[hioncheesenips]

@bolingersa made in taiwan

[bolingersa]

@hioncheesenips I'm sorry, I meant their HQ is in USA, that's more than most other companies can say, but then again that's just like Chevy saying their cars are American made.....right?

[NallePu83]

@halotango3 Price will be to high

[matthew181]

@halotango3

because in America there is a minimum wage.

[nucolston]

@halotango3

Federal regulation on manufacturing and labor. In other words, money. It could work with an existing industry (i.e. US based firearms manufacturer or similiar).

[schroom766]

@halotango3 greed

[oldmanonweed]

@halotango3 Matrix is one. OEM factories are brought out under the MATRIX brand name making it the biggest US based Airsoft distributor.

[scoodlers]

what should we do mr. president

[JetlinerXPilotXFSX]

Hm... it would appear I must shop at Evike again... :(

[Stellarsniper]

*cough* evike *cough*

[dalulacolour]

This attitude towards retail services is the reason that I check Airsoft GI first for a product vs. a competitor. I know that what I buy will be sent to me, and very quickly I might add. I just wish Airsoft GI had a walk-in store close to me here in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Keep up the good work. You will always have my business. By the way, I really like Tim as your spokes person. I like the new PSA message. Tim looks very commanding.

[ShadowCoAirsoft]

hahaha damn making people wait for a gun that might not show up 4 ever....whats that store called? Evike, Airsplat??? lol Airsoft gi the best...thumbs up if u agree and if u think the people that say thumbs up are dumb .... ;)

[airsoftreveiwsforyou]

how come it east to get chineses made guns in the uk and not us?

[airsoftreveiwsforyou]

is it true jg moved the factory to denmark?

[airsoftreveiwsforyou]

is it true jg moved there factory to denmark?

[sergantsnipes16]

@airsoftreveiwsforyou no way. that would cost way to much money and jg would no longer be cheap.

[ESA221]

Serious Tim is Serious
