I just wanted to give a shout out to Zach at ARES Tactical and wanted to praise his Outstanding customer service. I have a great deal of experience with purchasing airguns and currently own over 100 and have purchased about 200 over the last 5 years. I probably have made more purchases than the average air gunner. I’ve dealt with AOA, Pyramid Air, Edgun West, Utah Air, Krale, Talon Air, etc. I’ve had good experiences with these vendors but Zach’s customer service is unmatched.
I purchased recently a Huben GK 1 pistol recently. From the start, he responds to emails immediately. I mean immediately. My pistol became jammed due to using too light of pellets. I requested new Gun or refund. I must have scuffed the magazine getting the pellets out. I contacted Zach and within a matter of minutes he had me a reply to send the Gun in. Despite the pistol being scuffed, he sent in a new gun with detailed instructions on how to fix a jam in the future and to avoid light pellets. Btw, the pistol is awesome and don’t let my experience discourage you from buying one!
Zach has always been VERY responsive to emails from the start of the purchase and also if you have a problem. I have not encountered this level of customer service from any vendor. To contrast my positive experience, my Weihrauch HW44 needed repair from one of the vendors. After purchasing the pistol, the cocking mechanism broke. I sent it in the vendor and 7 months later received the pistol back after numerous communications and was lied to repeatedly. Finally, I requested my gun back ant end of 7 months, and magically my pistol was repaired and sent back immediately.
Do not hesitate to buy from Zach. He offers the best customer service. Period.
Steve.
