Airsoft Alliance Canada Shutting Down
 
Hello Everyone,

Just to end any speculations:) Yes, Airsoft Alliance Canada is shutting down. Rangers Airsoft and Double Edge Airsoft have decided to call it quits. It's been a wounderful ride, and it's been sucessful, and we have all of our loyal customers to thank for that. Jackson, Roger and I can't thank you enough for all your support, and business throughout the years.

This was quite a quick decision, but after sitting down, we all felt the same way. We are all working on, and ready to move on to other things in our lives. We all knew from the beginning this was not a forever thing, and that time has now come to move on.

Running AAC as large as it was, and with the volumn we were running, was a very tough thing to do. It's been alot tougher than most realize having to deal all the time with shipping companies, airlines, brokers, and worst of all Customs:) We did our best, and we hope we have done our part in the past few years to help our Canadian market grow, and expand. There are still some long time, reputable retailers out there that you can go to, and we all know this market of ours can continue without any hic-ups from us shutting down.

We still have our e-mails up and running, and for the time being, our toll free phone numbers are still active (however, don't call that until after July 3rd or so, as Roger is on hollidays until then). Any pending orders will of course be processed. Anyone that are waiting on orders, or that have left deposits for items that will no longer be coming in, can contact us asap, and we will make arrangements for either full refunds of any deposits, or if there is anything else you would like from our current inventory, you may choose that option as well. We will be around a while longer in order to clear out the current inventory we have left in our warehouse. So if your interested, e-mail us to find out what we have in stock.

We made this post because we owe you all an explanation. As you are all aware, I am not around ASC much. I personally try and stay away from MSG boards (politics drive me nuts!! haha). Also this is a very busy time in our lives, so we will most likely not be around ASC here much after this post. Anyone needing to speak to us can still contact myself or Jackson via e-mail.

So thank you all for a great past 6+ years! It really has been amazing!

Regards,
Randy Becker
Jackson Gee

Sad to see you two go. Got my very first airsoft from you guys.


Does this mean clearance prices? :D

The Saint June 19th, 2006 13:34

Thanks for your service to the community, we'll miss you and wish you success with whatever you do next. ;)

Xenos-Fear June 19th, 2006 13:45

Man, Rangers, you'll miss me guys ! You were the first retailer I dealt with to get my very first airsoft too, just like Firemachine69. That was always great to deal with you ! Fast, efficient and cool too !

Thanks for everything guys and for all your good services.

Clearance prices ? :D LOL

Thanks for everything you have done to help airsoft grow.

Greylocks June 19th, 2006 18:02

I did not get my first guns from you, but in a weird way I got my last (latest) ones from your store.
Thanks for taking time to answer my questions. We'll see how things go from here.

MadMax June 20th, 2006 03:00

Lots of opportunity in Calgary these days. All the best. Sometimes I wished I understood more chemical engineering so I could make big bucks in the sandy oil patch. Lots more girls studying chem eng too...

Good luck in your new ventures.

Shit, this sucks. I bought my first AEG from Rangers, a TM MP5A4. I was just wondering, you said you were going to stay open until the rest of your stock is cleared out. I'm looking to buy 2 CA M24 mags, and I'm just wondering if you guys take paypal, I'm assuming you don't because I can't find it on Rangers site...

Thanks!

SEALs June 20th, 2006 12:31

good luck guys and thx again for the M24!

Keyboard June 20th, 2006 12:34

Good luck in the future guys, and thanks for the Mp5a4.

Arnisador June 20th, 2006 12:38

Best of luck guys. Thanks for all the help and toys in the past few.

Myrrlyn June 20th, 2006 13:54

Can someone plays Taps on this forum?

Snow_Raven June 20th, 2006 14:27

Again, I got my first gun from Rangers

Anyways good luck to both, and I'm sure after running an excellent store in airsoft anything else will be easy

:cheers:

Moderate June 20th, 2006 17:56

Good luck in future projects, or whatever both will be doing in the future.
Tis' a sad day, I got my first airsoft things from Rangers about 3 years ago...was hoping to get my first AEG from them too :(

Thank you! :cheers:

cndzn June 20th, 2006 19:11

What can I say that hasnt already been said.

If the response from people on here is any indication as to the success and level of appreciation for both service and products AAC has received from players and enthusiasts, then you are walking away at the peak of your game.

Good luck in whatever you choose to do next, knowing that there is a wealth of support you can call on from the Airsoft community here in Canada.

Best wishes.....Kia Kaha.(forever strong)

Black_Orchid June 21st, 2006 01:20

Wow I can't believe I missed this thread...This is really really sad...I was just in Seals today and I had no idea! Hah had I known, I would have bought a shwack of guns!

FenrirKar September 19th, 2006 16:11

Well, goes to show you how much of an idiot I am...I already sent in a money order for a KWA Glock 18c, and only now do I realize that they were closing down.... Mind you, I recieved a confirmation email and an address for the the order. So, uhh, after laughing at my general stupidity, could this have been a scam? I mean, the website was still up until last Monday. Any advice would be appreciated.

Why don't you try emailing them before calling it a scam?

They might still have stock they want to clear up.

Suspect187 September 19th, 2006 16:49

Airsoft Alliance a scam? lol no

RAS_Jackson September 19th, 2006 17:35

If you sent a money order in, expect your parcel in the mail. If we're sold out of the product we have no problems in refunding your money. As far as i know were pretty good about honor product even before we shut down and after.

FenrirKar September 19th, 2006 18:14

Ah, perfect. Thank you very much for clearing that up. Much appreciated!

While this has already been cleared up, I did try to email them, but hotmail said that the email address no longer existed. This was when I got a bit worried. However, after seeing all the great feedback they've gotten, I can see that I was wrongly mistaken.

deep in the bush September 19th, 2006 21:01

You will be missed
 
Thanks guys for your help over the years. I bought my first from you guys. It still runs great. Thanks again good luck in the future.
