Krale's big sale...

[Marquette]

Anybody know anything about the Red Comet Evo for $88?  Is it the same Comet Evo on AAR review except for the red accents?  Is it the spring version of the GRT Evo?  I’ve never owned. BSA with the lack of USA dealer but these are very tempting.

[SouthBender]

I wondered the same thing. I do not have this rifle, nor have I owned a BSA, but I saw the Andy's Airgun Review video and assume they are the same gun except the red accents as you say. Looking at the specs, I'm also guessing that the Comet is mechanically the same as the Meteors listed at Krale, except those have wood stocks and one has a moderator. I think I read in another thread here that a GTA member had put a CDT trigger in his Comet and liked the improvement.

Someone please correct me if any of the above is wrong.

The Comet looks intriguing as a fun project gun, though I will probably end up passing since I still have other projects waiting in the queue!

The BSA Meteor Evo is on the way!

I didn't realize that it was going to be shipped all the way from the Netherlands. Does anyone know how much time airguns from Krale usually make it from there to, say, NY State, USA?

Thanks!

3 days tops to your door.

3 days?

That fast?

How is that even possible?

Supersonic jet planes?

By all reports they are not only fast, but use a good carrier and are just as good about returns, if needed.
Universally considered to be a first rate retailer.

I have seen true airgun experts praise them online. This is my first experience buying from them.

If I might ask, what did the shipping cost?

[Whirligig]

If I might ask, what did the shipping cost?

$53.90, which did strike me as a little high, but not enough to stop me from making the purchase.

In retrospect, after learning that the airgun and pellets are coming from the Netherlands, that shipping cost seems completely reasonable.

Just curious....... their site states that in order to complete a purchase you are required to supply them with a copy of a certified document to prove you are in fact at least 18 years old.    What kind of proof are you guys using when  you purchase from them ?   A copy of drivers license ?  Thanks.

Yep. I just sent them a scanned digital copy of my NYS driver license. No muss, no fuss...

Krale is a class A retailer.  I don't think I have read anything bad about them over the years, and everyone raves about their fast shipping and customer service.  Buy with confidence, or not, if you have the will power to resist a good sale

Well that does it for me. I'm sure they are a reputable and legitimate company but, I just don't think I can bring myself to put a copy of my ID out there. Those hackers out there are getting better and better at what they do.
I just can't seem to get that night mare out of my head. Yes, it's unjustified because I have yet to hear anything but good about Krale but, that dark feeling remains.
It may even have something to do with the fact that I recently retired and with the fixed income being lower than before we are a bit more mindful of what and when we spend. We have the means to live comfortably but I guess we just keep our eyes open a bit wider than before.
I've been known to take a few risks in the past with online purchases and recovered on the couple occasions that things went south but I'm just not as quick to hang my face out there anymore.
I don't see any reason for an air gun supplier to require an ID for the purchase of an airgun. Maybe if it were a PB I could see it. A simple check in the box should relieve them of legal responsibility like others accept.

They're in a different country. Different countries have different laws, they don't just all use our laws. Also they're shipping internationally, which probably comes with additional regulations. I don't blame you for not wanting to send a pic of your license though.

I've read your posts, you don't need another airgun anyway

You got that right... Betty Lou strongly agrees.

Re: "Those hackers out there are getting better and better at what they do."

This seriously true. I've heard of some truly despicable scams, especially of people in and above my age bracket. I purchased identity theft insurance because of this.

I hesitated a moment myself, but after seeing nothing but great reviews of Krale, I went ahead and sent it to them.

I can completely understand and respect reluctance to share personal information over the web (and even by email or phone).

Yep, just kinda gives me pause... a bit of the heeby jeebies.

If it wasn't for the I. D.  requirement a .25 cal Buccaneer would already be on it's way to my house, but  I'm just not comfortable sending them a copy of my drivers license.  I was recently notified that the county that I used to work for and retired from had their computer system hacked and over 35,000 people had their data stolen.... and of course I was one of em    The county is providing I.D. theft protection for free, which is a good thing, but it's little consolation to me.   I've never dealt with Krale  before so I will take the word of members like Harry who have and say they're very reputable.......but in light of recent events I just can't get up the nerve to send it.   To bad too, I really wanted that Buccaneer

Zelle is recently in the news for alot of folks getting burned.. it's not determined if it was hackers yet... either that or their hiding it. They're claiming a 'glitch'.
