Singapore. Korea and Indonesia For our US customers please check with local laws regarding ownership of Airsoft guns.
Please note that we do NOT ship to PO Boxes.

How much is shipping?
That depends on what you are ordering since shipping costs are highly sensitive to weight and dimensions. The heavier and larger your order is the more it will cost to ship. However there are economies of scale and shipping cost per pound decreases as the package gets heavier. As such the per gun shipping cost is more expensive for one gun than if you ordered two guns. Its always more cost effective to ship more in one package than to ship separately.
For example one AEG shipped anywhere in the US could range from 15 to 25 dollars depending on weight. Two AEGs could range from 25 to 40 dollars shipping cost depending on weight.
We have a variety of shipping options available for selection during the checkout process allowing you to choose the best method to fit your needs and budget. Orders over $150.00USD will be shipped free of charge using USPS Parcel Post.

Tip. If you have friends who live near you and would like to order as well you can suggest batching everything into one order to save on shipping costs for everyone.

How long after I pay can I expect to receive my order?
We typically ship out the order within 1-2 days for standard items and 7 to 10 days for orders requiring upgrades or modification work. Add to that the time for delivery which can add anywhere from 2 to 5 days. You should expect to receive your order within 4 to 10 days of payment for standard orders and 9 to 14 days for custom orders.

If you have chosen upgrade work to be performed on your gun please expect 3 to 5 days for modifications and testing before your order will ship out. Thorough testing will avoid problems once the gun makes its way to you.

While Gamepod Combat Airsoft cannot guarantee delivery times we process orders as soon as we receive them. Delivery time may vary particularly during holiday seasons such as Christmas.

Batteries and chargers are sold separately and can be purchased through our accessories section. In some promotional offers batteries and or chargers are included with the gun. One good charger is enough to support your entire collection of guns. Dont be fooled in to buying a gun from another retailer because it comes with a charger. Many included chargers are cheap and of low quality and may actually damage your expensive battery.

How do you handle orange paint and trademarks?
We sympathize with customers who dont want their gun altered from the original look. However US federal regulations require painting the tip of the barrel bright orange and all non licensed trademarks to be removed from the gun. We fully comply with these rules through painting the barrel and removing/covering over the trademarks.
