I've used them a lot without issue, for what it's worth.

FWIW the shipping speed on these Chinese sites tends to be how long it takes to ship once it's left their warehouse. If it takes them 2 weeks to prepare your order, you'll get it in your higher priced 8-10 days after THAT, or your 20-30 days on the cheaper shipping.
 
Protip: never pay for fast shipping when ordering from Chinese shops during holiday season. The only thing you should pay for is tracking (registered airmail). Also, never ever count on them shipping within given time.

At any case, this shop is trusted and ships genuine gateways.
 
you gotta think about the holidays too, cause TONs of packages ship out during holidays :)
I had to wait for my gateway for almost a month
I ordered it on Nov.17.2014 and just got it a couple days ago
 
I've bought from them a couple times, shipping is pretty average for China/HK post.
Never had any problems with them. I bought my Gateway there as well.
The tracking page is pretty shit at updating though. Usually your local postal service will have up to date tracking info after it leaves China but the original tracking page will still be stuck at the same cryptic message that claims it's still in China.
I don't understand where people are getting this rumor that they are not trustworthy from. I've seen people mention it every time eachmall is brought up but I've never seen any proof or source for their claims. For all I know people may have been paid by other sites to spread the rumor.

dude why in the world did you choose to order something in this month? the busys month in the year to ever get anythnig from china?
 
I honestly don't know anything about eachmall, but if you ask me, you should be cautious when you buy anywhere that ships out of China, because, as you most likely know, that's where the majority of bootleg products come from.
 
I ordered from them on november/december too and my gateway arrived. only it took a loooot of time. but it arrived.
 
They are fine store, once you get verified with ID.
I got my GW from them 2 weeks after it was shipped, and up till now all is ok.
 
I ordered one from them on Dec. 2nd as well. The tracking showed it sitting in China for quite a long time and I started looking around at reviews and I was getting very nervous. They seem to have a ton of terrible reviews online. But it did show up in the US last Thursday and showed up at my house today. Everything seems to be legit.
 
As far as flashcarts go, I've never had any real issue with them. If it's a bottom-of-the-barrel R4 clone, they're cheap enough about it that they won't even attach the labels, but with a Gateway I'm sure that won't happen. I've only ever used their standard shipping option, though.

eachmall was bottom of the barel then haha. I had to apply my own stickers and the gateway packaging wasn't even assembled, the box was still flat. At least it is a legit cartridge and not a clone so I couldnt really care less about them not assembling the box or applying stickers.
 
Tomorrow I'm going to order mine from Playmods. It's a Big mistake or am I doing a great deal?
 
Flattened boxes are common just to save on airmail costs. I just figured that the labels weren't on mine because it was too much effort for an R4 that cost under $2, but maybe they're just too lazy for any cart.
 
5-8 days is the time the item will be in transit, not from the moment you order to the moment it arrives. They're likely awaiting stock. Delays are also to be expected as Christmas approached.
 
Hello I was thinking of getting another gateway for my friend. When I check out at eachmall.me there's only 1 option for payment method and that's western union. Are there any ways to pay with Visa or Paypal?

I tried to order from them as well, but had the same issue.

They also only give partial instructions if you do try to use western union, so you'd have no way of knowing if you're doing it right and then you can't get it back if it's wrong.

Edit: The difference after western union's fees between them and ordering from modchipsdirect is only ~$6.95. I think that's worth it for 3-day shipping and not having to deal with western union.
 
My 2cents:

Yesterday (dec 16) I received a Gateway ordered on Nov 15 that was shipped on Nov 17. I haven't tested it yet, but it surprised me that didn't came fully packaged. Gateway stickers were included in the pack but not put over the card, the box was disassembled, etc. Hard to explain. I'll take pictures later.
 
I'm surprised a sky3ds fanboy hasn't commented something like "yeah your big mistake was getting a gateway instead of sky3ds" lol
