Another recommendation here for http://nds-card.com arrived within 2 weeks of ordering to the UK with free shipping.The price was a little high though at £61 through Paypal.

I am not recommending them I preordered 2 months ago it took them ages to get stock, then they lied that they had them in stock and they were posted when in fact they hadn't posted any, then they tried to blame it on the Hong Kong post for the delays.

So nds-card.com is pretty hit or miss from what I'm reading. Anyone have feedback for Gateway orders through ModChipsDirect?

They're fast, but they put stickers on crooked if at all (its an issue that can damage a 3ds according to GW team). Got mine from nds-card and both red card stickers were placed perfectly -- worked perfectly too. The blue card sticker was a little low but that doesn't bother me.

Good to know, thanks!

Does anyone out there have coupon/discount codes for ModChipsDirect by any chance? :)

Does some of you ordered from here when it was still saying in stock ? http://www.r4menu.com/gateway-3ds-linker.html
If yes when do you got your email with tracking number? I bought gateway the 12 sept and got the email 2 days ago and the tracking number still don't work... On french official forum which is availlable on contact page in gateway site (This url http://www.xavboxforum.com/index.php/topic/75788-reception-des-premier-linkers/page__st__210), someone recived the mail the same day as me and his tracking is working... Could it be possible that they send me fake tracking number because they didn't have enouth stock ? Or maybe it's just spain post ? This website is one of these who are pretty overpriced (79€...) so I would like to at least have a good service..... Someone having the same problem with the tracking number in the email recived 19 september ~11:30am

(They said out of stock on the website the same day as I recived the email)

Finally it's coming!
The item (RCXXXXXXXXXXHK) left Hong Kong for its destination on 21-Sep-2013
Took 10 days from processing to flight off. Hopefully will get it in 2 weeks time.

I had similiar problem with eachmall, they said out of stock the same day I ordered but they did refund me after two days so I was not upset that much. That is why I always say contact the seller and ask if they actually have them in stock.

About time, nds-card.com! Looks like I'm finally getting my Gateway as well. I've placed my order on the 27th of August. I got a tracking number the next day, but it would work up until the 12th of September. It then said the package was being processed. Supposedly, it left Hong Kong yesterday, on the 21st of September, so I should get it in a week or so (I hope).

One month to fulfill an order is way too long, by any standards. In case something goes wrong, it's already too late to ask for a refund via PayPal (if that's what you have used when placing the order).

My gateway from nds-card came today :). Both stickers are on the card and it looks like some care/time was taken as they are both on straight.

For others in the UK, it would appear royal mail don't track it & last update you will get is from hongkong post, saying it arrived in UK.

Discount code is GBATEMPSPECIAL but its valid on all other products except the Gateway 3DS, Razer and Emtec products.

Very happy with their service though!

but do you know if they have stock? that little green "in stock " logo thing is there but they have not removed the msg in red at the bottom saying ETA sept, 13th
and mod chipcentral says eta sept 20th , and no updates
does anyone in US or canada actually have any in stock?

Yep they are pretty good! I got mine in under a week ( I am from Finland). I think everyone who has doubt about where to order Gateway should order from them, they accept paypal and are very friendly and communicative.
