WGC sent in a slightly different email from usual which regards possible competitors claiming to be authorised distributors for specific manufacturers when they might not be.
Established dealers such as WGC obviously feel strongly about this issue, but I want to post things carefully so this doesn’t snowball.
In this case the claims relate to a dealer being an accredited VFC/G&G dealer, however G&G for example keep a list on their site that’s updated regularly that can be checked to verify this.
Retailers and competitors will be frustrated when others claim to carry the same status that they may well have fought and bargained hard for. Yet from an end user point of view the possible potential downfalls would likely be support related and falling foul of grey/parallel import issues.
As ever best advice is to always make an informed decision in whatever purchase that you make and be sure to check up on claims and promises made to see that they hold water before laying down hard cash.
Please be aware that it is merely a quoted submission. The link and the name of the specific retailer that they mention has been removed:
Dealer Right and Copyright Violation
Recently we have noticed that there is an airsoft company named [URL snipped] claims itself as an authorized distributor of VFC and G&G without actual authority. We believe that these violations are serious since this is a sort of swindle. We have contacted this company for the removal of all unapproved declarations and images that may mislead customers. However, no reply is received until now. Being a wise customer, please be aware of this matter. Thank you for your kind attention.
