Need input from fellow compatriots :P

Say I've been wondering I've seen under a lot of people's user names that they're from India, so I was just wondering anyone currently residing in Bangalore? Well the reason why I'm curious is because I had a question to all here in India. Well the question is has any of you ordered for flashcards from the sites suggested by Shoptemp and what was your experience? When I say experience I mean which site did you? I'm kinda asking this because my uncle's was in the US recently, currently in UK atm and when I asked him to get me a DSTWO he said its illegal(I already knew it was but I was just hoping there might be a physical store one could buy it from and not only online).
Well the only flashcards that I've heard of that is being sold here in India in general is R4 (I got mine in Mumbai when I was there luckily it was the original one how lucky is that lol :lol: ). Most shops that sell these R4's don't even know about the other more recent ones, for them I suppose they don't even exist.
So the conclusion I have come to is that unless there seems to be a minute chance that some place here in India (hopefully Bangalore as I'm currently here for a while) sells other flashcards like the DSTWO or Acekard 2i, I have to order it online. However I just wanted the confirmation from any members here in this forum if they have purchased from the suggested sites if they had any problems with the entire experience?

Well I got both of my flashcarts an R4i Gold (www.r4ids.cn) and an Acekard 2i from the Temp (won them through competitions). I don't remember which website they were sent from but I know both came from Hong Kong. Took about a week to ship and there was no problem at customs. On the package it was printed that inside was a card reader worth $2 :P

Hmm but this mean you got the flashcarts as a prize for a competition won in this forum not something you purchased right? Well I wanted to know the experiences of the guyus who has purchased flashcarts from the sites recommended from Shoptemp. Thanks for the info though. (Its a relief there weren't any issues at the customs :P)

I'm pretty sure the carts were sent from one of the sites recommended on Shoptemp and not from GBAtemp itself. The site was the sponsor for the prizes and it's located in Hong Kong. I think ZhuZhuChina has a very good rep and they even have an account here so you can PM them if there's a problem with your order. I've seen them posting helpful stuff in these forums.

Dang got my shiny new 3DS from the US (sadly I have to use a voltage transformer with it as electronic equipments manufactured in the US use 110V whereas here in India its 220V, my only gripe for getting stuff from the US but its waaaaaayyy cheaper there than here where its around $250 approx on ebay.in as there's no proper retailers that sell it here) my uncle got me but sadly due to no 3DS supporting flashcarts with me right now its just collecting dust :(. Well did ask my uncle to chk out the online stores but he's too busy to check right now so hence till he does decide to purchase it online m stuck with my DSL with very screwed up D-Pads and a non responsive L-button.
