I bought my first marker this weekend. A Tippmann Custom 98.
When I got it home and tried to operate it the balls rolled out of the barrel unfettered. There was a part called the "Ball Latch" that was missing. Perhaps someone at the store scavenged the part for someone else. Anyway, I called Tippmann this am and they will overnight me the part. No problem. If this is the level of service you regularly receive from them I will be a customer for a long time. Gor |

Yes, it is the service you can expect from Tippman on anything they make.
They've been known to ship out replacements and extras, for the commonly lost or worn parts. If they hadn't kept that when they changed owneership, their market share would drop sharply. |

You've bought into one of the best-backed marker families in the business, Gor. The few times I've had problems with my A-5, replacement parts were shipped out immediately and always arrived a day sooner than promised. And if it's something that you can't fix on your own, the only thing you pay is the cost to ship it to them. They'll fix it free of charge, and ship it back to you immediately. When my response trigger malfunctioned, I shipped it to them on a Monday and had it to play with on Friday afternoon. :-) Ayar |

No questions no BS.. you tell them whats wrong and they ship it out. No explaining what happened and why you need yada. I had a similar experience with Palmer, super phone support and a really nice sounding chick on the phone Both of those companies have my biz anytime -z |

All that aside, the reason to get a Tippmann actually doesn't stem from their service, in my opinion. Their service excellence is simply an added bonus feature, there if you need it. Thankfully, however, there is rarely need to avail yourself of their services, given the quality of manufacturing that goes into Tippmann's products. -- Jeff Goslin - MCSD - www.goslin.info It's not a god complex when you're always right |

Maybe you meant panzies. In which case ya... how flower like to ask for a free part rather than fabing your own down in the forge |
