DEN TRINITY....you're kidding me....right?

LMAO! I was brwsing the site, not looking for anything in particular. Saw a trigger shoe for $4.50 (yes, a small, plastic, 3/8" long trigger shoe)
Placed the order....waited for the total. Heres the email I got:

Here is your quote request detail:

$31.50 US! Is this pretty much standard?

Hmmm....I wonder if I should go ahead and get it.......

They like to inflate shipping prices, that's how they make their money. Best way is to order with a group, if you want that PM JAFA, he is in Japan supplying us all with those little parts we've been looking for

Like everyone else said, just get on a group order... There is a minimum shipping cost from Hong Kong to here, no mather how much the thing is worth. Just get an order worth it and you'll see shipping is alright...

Just ignore the order if you think shipping is unreasonable.

This retailer is in Hong-Kong, how much do you think express shiping would be? They don't rip anybody on the shipping charges, just go to UPS or FedEx website and get an estimate to send express letter from Canada to HK...
Get on the group order or buy bunch of stuff to justify shipping or buy stuff locally.

Errrr....have you shipped with HK Post before? The rates aren't that bad. My friend shipped me a set of Multicam BDUs, 2 tightbores, 2 AEG springs and a box of STAR real caps, and it came out to be about $25 shipped. (It got here about 3-5 business days)

Last I checked, Den Trinity have always been operating on the edge of reality, for as long as I can remember. Anyone foolish enough to hand their cash over and order something from Clarence Lai and the gang is just asking for their wallet to be reamed via their anus.

It was slightly more amusing to get taken for a ride by AMC/Autowings in Pacific Mall, except they didn't try to make themselves sound like they were gods gift to airsoft.

I'm surprised the trigger wasn't considered a KUSTOM CL TRIGGER for an extra 60 points...

LOL. You date yourself, my friend. I was waiting for the rant to continue about Regiment Airsoft, too.

Hehehe buddy - how do you think I feel about that place? I actually drove X-Ring down to London to go see that store and meet the famous Kelly Duggan. I'll never get that mileage back.

Fortunately the conversations on the trip we're worth the ride.

(For those of you who don't know who X-Ring is, google him or check out his site - http://www.xringairsoft.com)

Den is still a good shop though...
m11 grab strap for $12 USA
Ended up paying $46 CAD to get it..

Oh what a glorious strip of canvas and metal..
The guy who packed my order printed up a bogus receipt for $8
Claiming the item as RC Parts and as a gift under ten dollar value.. thus no customs fees.
Good guys..
