Buying paintballs

[AsylumDave]

Sorry if this is in the wrong place.

I need to buy a box of paint to run in my new marker at homebut i've seen many sites advise ordering paintballs online because of the way the may be treated in transit. Is it normally the temperature thats the problem or the fact that they may be thrown about? How have people found ordering online generally?

Cheers,
Retro

maybe you've already considered this but how about buyin a pot of re-balls instead?

Also where can i buy reballs online in the UK? Cant seem to find any.
Thanks

EDIT: shipping paintballs really depends on how they are sent, if they are sent as fragile the postman will probably ''handle with care'' try it with a box of cheap balls if there are more than 5-10 breaks dont order paintballs, just walk in the shop and ask very nicely for some
