You lost at the internet.
HEY GUYZ! I HAVE QUICK QUESTION.
Do you want to know
- how statistics work?
- how accountability works on webshop businesses?
- how risk profiles work, when ordering from a small quantities piracy business overseas?
Do you want to -
- read Amazon reviews, and havent found any, so you are now asking people to write some up for you? All its missing is a poll now.

Me imagining how this thread will continue:
"Yes be greatz!" Totally real an veryfied buyer.
"Never again!" Typical internet shopper.
If you have no experience with "a domain with webshop", maybe we could broaden the question, so more people could participate...
Is Amazon a good site to buy from?
Discuss.
edit: Here is how internet businesses work in the age of china doing the majority of high tech manufacturing and taobao and aliexpress being a thing (small and medium sized business economy f.e. in china). You send money, they send package. That part usually works (stuff usually is in stock as well since stocking risk is delegated to 'small individual businesses'). Accountability if stuff doesnt work - not so great. Service? Probably not. Margins for interacting with the customer usually arent there anymore.

I purchased from there a couple of months ago (R4i plus and sky3ds/skydock). They have a system for paypal payment and communicate well. Four day delivery for US. Product is authentic and in original packaging.
Site has no about us with a physical address. Site has no public legal address or owner listed (of course not).
Site is a web business, that piggybacks on the entrepreneural side of mass shipping.
where small businesses will freight in stuff on their own risk, then try to sell stock and make profit. Business model "just to order flashcards from china" doesnt work (too small of a market), so its a mixed container of all sorts of goodies, and a specialiced web frontend for each "store" that sell parts of that container.
"Collaboration with maxconsole" means "we sent them a free sample, they accepted".
If the website is online for long or not - doesnt matter, this isnt a cost factor.
If one or 10 people on the internet respond to you service request will not help you in any way. Its fluff.
How do you go by reputation, in a world thats "mom and pa store 27" on taobao? How do you go by reputation in a business thats literally "shipped a container (mass order) into france once". And have a guy there that fullfills individual orders as they trickle in?
Risk is witch you, and stays with you, regardless is the actual answer here.
If le bob in france received an order from them once, and is happy - doesnt matter in the big picturee. If your decision model is based on "three positive mentions, and I'll buy" --- lets ask the following question in return:
Who has any incentive in prolonging your very simple mode of trying to ramp up the courage to send money to unknown business associate?
Who would be brazen enough to recommend a webshop with literally no names, no contact details, no addresses on the site? Who would be gullible enough to consider three random internet mentions on a board with pseudonymity a reason for action?
Global village tactics, in a highly globalized world..
But then again, the viability of the business model is based on the "general notion" that they will send out packages, when they get money. Otherwise people would post warnings, even in the most niche communities.
Which brings us to how many people do you think, hang out in a web forum to give others "I did it so it was right" advice on any webshop they ordered stuff from? Over the years. Vs. people who might angrily post 'didn't receive my order' postings when that happened.
So do you think your approach makes sense?
I need maybe 30 minutes to set up a website with a webshop. Maybe a week to get more conventional billing options ready (basically a front guy that acts as a fake company), and some expertise in international shipping schemes to pick my fullfillers in those three countries. Thats my business. Knowing, that if I'll ever get too big, I'll be a target and be shut down.
As I'm in the e-commerce sector, half of my risk is delegated to the postal system. And I'll have no expectation of repeat buyers, customer relationship building, or service fullfillment, since my company might be dismanteled in two years, if someone finds out where I'm hosting.
The one guy in france - I pay for "re-shipping" gets out on a misdemeanor charge, the end.
edit: But I sense, that you are looking for the one piracy paraphernalia vendor with REAL business ethics. The one you can trust in.

You know mod3dscard.com is also closed until Feb 1 due to chinese new year?
Well if you trust that statement then what are you waiting for? Go ahead and order. I mean I have no idea why anyone in 2020 would bother with a flashcart, but what have you got to lose except your money?
From their front page banner, you can clearly see it mentions 2020 New Year. While it does not explicitly state chinese new year, the dead giveaway are the dates between Jan 20 - 31. Here's the google result for chinese year and when it officially starts in 2020.
mod3dscard.com and other flashcart retailers will happily accept and process orders while they're on break. While USPS tracking numbers would be created and provided to their customers, major businesses will stay closed and nothing (specifically bulk discount items) gets shipped out of China until everyone finishes their holiday celebrations.
I shopped enough eBay, aliexpress, and

On May 15th 2020, Nintendo filed a couple of lawsuits involving entities responsible for reselling devices used for the "sole purpose of which is to hack the Nintendo Switch video game console in order to allow people to play pirated video games." The first lawsuit is against a group of websites and their respective "John Doe" owners, for anxchip, axiogame, flashcarda, mod3dscards, nx-card, sxflashcard, txswitch, and usachips.

I bought something from them only once and was ok. I usually get everything from Amazon, much more convenient.

Usually when such a big title leaks the Temp will be the first to report about it (going off of historical reports here, Pokemon SV being the latest one I can recall seeing pop up here) -

I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.

Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.

I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
