Hacking Anyone has received the flashcart from Eachmall?

[how_do_i_do_that]

Buying anything from China will take 2-4 weeks to get shipped to you depending on where you live in the world, assuming it was shipped in the first place.

Weird, it went from chicago to Missouri, I live in Michigan. Either way I think it'll arrive Monday or Tuesday.

That's because of shipping routes. Not many cities in Central USA have international routes, be it arrival or departures. In my experience anyways, each city covers a distribution zone, so for example, let's say an airport in Tennessee does not service flights to/from China, so it'd have to arrive say, Chicago, before it hits another distribution point, and from there ground freight will drive them into Tennessee.

An update regarding my cart!

USPS status shows mine is in the U.S. now. It is very strange that USPS updated the status faster than 17track, eachmall, and other tracking sources.

Yeah the eachmall tracking is shit, and it always seems to get hung up forever in China/shenzen/HK. Just gotta give it a little time

I don't know why you americans don't order from an american or canadian store, I've never had to wait more than 3 working days to get my flashcarts and such.

I used to have "good" experience with Chinese retailers. Most items I ordered were delivered within 10 days including weekend (with super-saving shipping). But.......... I will never order from China.. for the rest of my life.

I've found that when I order from China through ebay it comes really quickly, from websites like eachmall or dealextreme it takes forever.

I got mine today. Shipping status is not reliable. It never changed. Took like two weeks to get here.

As for the card, it's working fine. It didn't come with a usb reader but that's fine didn't need it. Took me a couple of attempts to get it working but now I'm playing Luigi's Mansion .

btw, first time ordering from Eachmall and didn't get asked to show pic of credit card, passport, etc. Doesn't seem like scam site to me but I still don't think I'll be ordering from them in the future. Reason is because I get charged international fee and order processing was slow. Took them like 5 days just to ship it.

update for me too:

2013-12-17 11:39 Item arrived MPC PMIH (KLIA), MPC PMIH (KLIA)
2013-12-17 12:17 Item sent to MILANO C.M.P. ROSERIO, MPC PMIH (KLIA)

I'm happy to see that the item didn't get shipped back to MPC PMIH (KLIA) as it did with other people >_>
let's see if the italian tracking thing already sees it. edit: nope. it must be on the plane, now.

where were you looking for the tracking? the thing in the user profile is not reliable. you have to use one of the sites I linked in the first page (they are in their FAQs page and in the email they send you after the item gets shipped, too).

Mine is now stuck at ISC NEW YORK. I heard this custom process of inspection takes about 3-5 weeks. Any has experienced of dealing this custom issue with ISC New York??

Will it go to Mississippi next or will it go to some international shipping place?
I am leaving town on the 21st so I want it for the trip. Here's hoping I guess.

In the user profile there is a link to go to the ems.com tracking page. Updates are really slow. I just checked now and it got updated several hours after already receiving it yesterday. Very useful /sarcasm

It means it already left the us, if it is registered mail try tracking it through Mexpost.

nobody knows what it means... it may be an error and they sent it to your country (I really don't know, I thought that's what should have appeared to me as well, but there's MILANO C.M.P. ROSERIO instead of MPC PMIH (KLIA) in the last entry. I suppose I'm lucky).

Well - I decided to send in my driver's license and credit card scan, but I blanked out all of the numbers except for the first 4 digits of each card. Credit card was front only, so signature wasn't visible, and I blanked it from my driver's license as well. That worked and (I think) reasonably protected me against having my ID stolen.

Package is currently doing the "Shenzen Shuffle", so we'll see how long it takes to get to Canada.

why did you have to give them that stuff? how did you pay?

 

[Claw919]

I shouldn't have had to. I did argue, and then I figured I'd give it a shot sending them information with nothing usable on it. That worked, so whatever.

I paid by credit card, which they handle through Tenpay.

It crossed my mind that they were just delaying because they didn't have any stock - that would also account for why some people weren't asked, and others were.

At the end of the day, it's an R4 Deluxe card and they were something silly like $36, so I just wanted it to go through. I won't get it for Christmas, which does stink, but hopefully will have it by Dec 30. Who knows, maybe they'll have multi-rom out by then.
