So we’re not sure what the deal is with the release of the JRNY Paintball Hopper from NXE.  Frankly we keep getting “jerked” around.  We feel we have been strung along since Dec. 07 waiting for the release of these hoppers.  We were provided with information saying first the end of Dec.  Then the end of Feb, and then finally after San Diego’s NPPL event.  The San Diego NPPL event has come and gone and yet now we heard a rumor of JULY!  In an effort not to string our customers along as we have been, SAKworldpaintball.com took the initiative to cancel all Pre-Orders we had for the Hopper.  The last thing we wanted to do was feed customers more bad information.  People need hoppers to play with this summer.  No one wants to wait till the end of summer for a new hopper.

Its Thursday 12/14 (Valentines day) and we are open and operating as we normally do again.  Our service upgrades are complete and we go go again with a new redesign for SAKworldpaintball.com.  It will be awesome…

Tony our telephone sales guy will be away on Friday 2/15/08.  If you have any paintball questions please email sales[at]sakworldpaintball.com for a quick response.

Just a reminder we will be closed 2/11 thru 2/13  Emails will be answered on Thursday 2/14.

SAKworldPaintball.com would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Best Wishes for the Holiday Season.

For some reason the Customer Service form and the Return form do not accept Hotmail email address.  We have no idea why.  If you would like to exchange an return anything please email returns[at]Sakworldpaintball.com.  If you have a question about your order or an issue with it please email service[at]sakworldpaintball.com

We just updated our Holiday Shipping guide.  If you need a new paintball gun by Christmas we can get it there for you. Check the guide for your best shipping method to use.

The Christmas paintball season is here in full swing.  We wanted to remind the holiday shoppers and our usual loyal paintballers that its a busy time of year and to allow extra time for delivery of your new paintball guns and paintball gear.  We have some “smoking” cheap paintball guns on sale as we speak, however you want to make sure you get your order on time.  We suggest you give at least a 2 day buffer for when you absolutely need your order.  This includes Air shipments.  You also might want to consider upgrading your shipping method to a 3 day or 2 day air service.  Its a good way to guarantee your paintball gift arrives on time.

Not much to report back here with paintball.  We hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving, its always nice to have a long weekend to enjoy.

Our online paintball store got a cool new shopping cart feature.  This feature allows you to pull up quick paintball gun or other product descriptions without going into the actual item page. This features will allow you to open up to 5 small boxes so you can compare items to each other side by side. Its pretty cool.  Between this and our paintball gun builder we make it super easy for you to get the paintball gear set of of your dreams!

Tony our sales rep here at SAKworldpaintball.com will be appearing on “Ask This Old House” the legendary home improvement show. Here is a picture of him, his wife, Tom Silva and Richard Trethewey. Look for the show to air in late January of 2008.

Here is a quick note on the 2008 Planet Eclipse Ego availability.  We have currently had 7 guns ship.  We have been able to fill back orders within 1-2 weeks very consistently.  If you plan on pre ordering your 08 ego you are looking at about a 1-2 week wait which isn’t that bad.  I would imagine we should have them in stock, all colors pretty steady in about a month or a month in a half.  There should be plenty around for the spring 2008 season.

No Bugs have been reported thus for on the 08 Egos, so hopefully they will be a very solid performer.  The 2007 Ego had a solenoid design issue which came about last Winter after the guns were released.  It took planet a month or so to get the problem corrected however they did so by taking care of customers as quickly and professionally as they good.  Once that initial bug got fixed it was smooth sailing for the 07 ego.  I doubt they made the same mistake twice, which is why we have extremely high expectations for the 08 ego.

We finally got around to updated the Smart Parts Barrel section of the web site. Nothing really changed except for the colors.  Smart Parts no longer makes a polished finished barrel.  They are now all “bead blasted” finishes which is the same finish the NXT guns have.  We also updated the freak backs to prefect the current milling pattern on the backs.

We are currently going threw some major upgrades to our Paintball Gun Builder.  Soon you will be able to build the gun of your dreams, and save it into your log in account as separate items. This will allow you to purchase the individual parts of your custom paintball gun all at once, or build up to the gun of your dreams.

This feature will also make it easier for your friends and family to buy paintball stuff for you.  Just give them your log in info and they will be able to buy the parts you saved under your account.  Instant gift!

Empire Reloader B Hoppers are going on sale this weekend.  Keep an eye out.  They are a sound activated force fed paintball hopper which can hit about 25 bps.  It also holds about 160 balls.  We should have them for Under $100.  Pick up up they are a lot better than the halo w/victory
