I like FX products but I hate waiting for orders. Seems like they are always in a state of over sold. Wish they had an FX prime memder ship, next day free shipping!
I like FX but...
- Thread starter Jake
- Start date
Catch .22, too much business leaves customers unhappy and they go elsewhere!
No Redwolfs in stock where you are?

Funny topic here, when I thought about it after buying FX, Edgun, Crosman and Daystate the only one I had to wait for was the FX. I didn't care at the time due to having others to use but you do wait for the slow boat from Sweden to arrive.

Yes, it worth the wait but however they do seem to be masters at building interest in a product and sustain our interest by controlling supply. But don t get me wrong I'm completely happy with FX airguns and not complaining just wishing I could get my order a little sooner.

Dig my Wildcat... I was lucky and didn't have to wait. Ordered it on a Wednesday and it was at my door on a Friday... unexpected, a true delighter!
My RedWolf however... that was a wait.

Does anyone have any idea what the FX market share for high end pcp airguns is? Do they have 10% of the market or 90%? They seem to get by far the most chatter, whether it's positive or negative, meaning it must have quite a big slice of the pie. I love them and so do so many people but you hear lots of issues too and I can't help but wonder if it's simply a numbers game and like anything, if you sell massive amounts then there will always be more problems than a product that only sells a few.

It would be a good feeling to get your FX in 2 days, or overnight delivery. Hmm! but, FX knows that they have to make us anxious and force us to dream and dream again until we finally have it in our arms. I sure went through a lot of agony waiting and dreaming prior to getting my FX.

Mr. Axelsson built a better mousetrap and we all beat a path to his door, I beat it there three times myself actually, all were in stock, took some phone calls though, ordered a Theoben in 2004, think I had to wait two or three months, it makes for long days! I'm more concerned with new model quality issues and like to wait a couple of years until proven reliable, Impact is a good example, been considering walking down that path to Mr. Axelsson's door again! Wouldn't mind the wait for one of those!!!

Ditto! And I bought the dreaded .177 cal.

I would say FWB, STEYR, and ANSHUTZ would hold a bigger share of the high end airgun market. 10M Shooting is the most popular by far.

Good point John. As usual, we're in our american bubble and think the whole world operates like we do. Compared to 10m and even FT world wide, EBR is just a blip.

Jake,
I was just at the FX USA facility in in Wilmington NC, Wensday the 5th of Sept.
I discussed that particular problem during my interview with them for Airgun Hobbyist magazine. I was also there that to pick up a nFX Crown they were donating to the AAFTA Nationals
This is the US distribution and repair center FX established 25 minutes from my home.
They are creeping up on one year being here in the US. The stockpile of products is still building to fill the shelves. This facility is designed to help alleviate the delay getting the products to their US and South American retailers.
Besides us here in the good 'Ole Untied States, they supply Europe, Asia, Africa, .......Well you get the idea.
Evidently FX is aware of the issues associated with delays, and are working on it. The folks I met at FX USA really appear to have delays in their optics and in in the mission statement of servicing the end user. We'll see...
The new Dreamline will be rolling out in Oct, just in time for the AAFTA Nationals here in North Carolina. They will have a Dreamline in the field target stock on display for folks to handle. If you shoot field target, cone on out. The cut off date to register is Sept 25.
You can see a few photos inside of FX USA in my post three below this one on my visit.
Look for the full article and more photos in the Airg Hobbyist magazine in the near future....
