I usually don't order online paint and haven't for a long, long time. Last time I did, however, I ordered from here http://www.paintball-discounters.com/ with no problems whatsoever. They are (or at least they used to be) a great company to deal with.

Free shipping when you buy in 4 case multiples. I think I've personally bought at least 12 cases from them over the last couple of years and I have had no major complaints.

I have never ordered paint online, but wouldn't you think that there would be alot of broken balls? You will have no idea what condition the paint will be in or how long it will take to get to your destination. I would probably get paint form your local field or proshop if thats not an option, you will probably be better off buying the bucket of zap paint at a Wal Mart.

Ive had good luck with buying paint online. Havent lately because I never know when or where i am going to play and if they are FPO or other..but ive always had success.

Tends to be fresher. Stuff at your local non pro shop and most local fields sits around quite a bit..most of the time.

I dunno. I wish they made it easier to know what is fresh.

Born on dates should be the rule, sure would make things nicer.

I try to support my local stores. Since they don't carry most of the markers and accessories I need, I can at least buy paint from them

I am all about supporting my local stores but Walmart and Scheels are about all that sell PB equipment around here. In my opinion they are not too local.

My local stores typically only sell small bore paint, so I have to go elsewhere to buy.
