osovega Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 We came to a unanimous amongst us Evike forum posters to avoid Arnie's for a while simply because no one used this section or the PM system to ask questions and get help, but rather to simply keep flaming again and again... And again. We're starting over now with the hopes that folks will come to us with problems and questions and that we'll be able to help you resolve them rather than seeing multiple five page rants about how we suck and why we're to blame for Communism, the plague, and Rosie O'Donnell. Let's try it again and you'll see we're not nearly as bad or negligent as everyone claims we are. Here's to second chances and new beginnings. (PS, our Better Business Bureau score is now a B as to the F it once was. If that doesn't say improvement, nothing does.) Link to post Share on other sites

Halfgum Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Is that phone number on your site correct? I called that number wanting to clarify on one of your products instead i got some help number. Link to post Share on other sites
kevshin21 Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 why did u delete creepingfears post? edit: also I believe their phone number is correct, but their customer is shittier than *beep* itself. Out of 4-5 calls I have made, they have only answered it once, and they didn't say "hello evike", the guy answering the phone just said "sup". Link to post Share on other sites
creepingfear Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 It wasn't just mine he/they removed but entire threads of many many people who had posted up some rather unsavoury dealings with these people. Link to post Share on other sites
Gigueand Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 why did u delete creepingfears post? edit: also I believe their phone number is correct, but their customer is shittier than *beep* itself. Out of 4-5 calls I have made, they have only answered it once, and they didn't say "hello evike", the guy answering the phone just said "sup". Evike's customer care is truly atrocious. They rarely answer phones, and when they do all you can hear is people playing around in the background. In general, I've found their staff to be ill-informed about how to handle problems, and the manager can never be contacted. Their refusal to adequately honor their return policies, their willingness to sell used products as new, their false advertising of products and their customer service are all reasons to street clear. Search any mainstream airsoft forum and you will ineveitably see threads complaining about Evike.com. Link to post Share on other sites
SlvrDragon50 Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 No problems with Evike for me... I call and they respond right away.. They also called me when they were missing a part. Link to post Share on other sites
Marine47 Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 WHOA a happy customer???? I guess one is to be expected...congrats. Link to post Share on other sites
PianoBlack Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 I've dealt with Evike a handful of times and they've never failed me yet. I've had a couple of orders where a similar items was sent instead on accident but that was straightened out. I tend to look there for obscure items that I can't find elsewhere, such as Best Gun products and they're pretty good about having what I'm looking for. The one thing that I always wanted to ask, is "If they suck so bad, why are they still around?" It's a logical question seeing that for the most part, if a retailer sucks bad enough, the community will eventually boycott it via local forums or word of mouth. Cheers, Vic.

kevshin21 Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 They are around because there is no competition within the san gabriel area. Link to post Share on other sites
AirsoftHawaii90 Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Why does everyone Hate Evike? New start means New start. I have made about 3 perchases lately and I can honestly say the Evike Team on E-bay is right on. I won the bid for a Galaxy Mp5k PDW and it came in within 2 days. Exactly 2 days after I sent out the Pay-pal. With "Flat rate" shipping. I also ordered a Guarder motor and it came in after they came back in stock. My Dad ordered the motor and said there were some small problems but it was fine. A+ Do not bash me for saying that, There Evike online store may not have good rateings but there Ebay guys are great. I am ordering some bbs from them soon too. Hopefully that will be as good as my other purchases. Link to post Share on other sites
dirtydogim Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Well i ordered something from their ebay store on Jan 11, i was told it was shipped. Emailed them yesterday and the reponse was we will post it tomorrow, i payed a fair bit for the best postage possible to get it quick and waiting two weeks for it nearly is unacceptable. I am very disappointed. Im sure your internal service is good, but international i feel is lacking Link to post Share on other sites
Halfgum Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Im quite confused with my response email from Evike as I asked if they were going to recieve any of the ICS Ak-74 wood version, instead I got this. Dear Customer, Try checking out the G&G models that we carry. We are starting to carry more G&G airsoft guns more than any other brand. they are very durable and reliable... just my opinion. Thanks If you have any further questions, suggestions or comments please feel free to email us! Please include original message in your replies. Thank you and have a nice day. It would have been better if he just said no instead of trying to sell me something else. Link to post Share on other sites
osovega Posted January 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 I suppose the entire idea of a new start was lost some where. For any people who have questions or problems, please PM me. Otherwise, this thread is locked on the basis that it seems to have lost its original intentions. Link to post Share on other sites
