Thanks for the info in this thread. I've just ordered a gateway from http://www.3dscarduk.com. I will be needing to buy two more for my nieces which might have to be sky3ds. So seeing how it all goes I might buy from this site again.

3dscarduk - your site doesn't seem to have any encryption on it at all - how are we safe when putting our card details in
So far...
I want to order but no chance I'm putting my card details in an already sketchy site when someone could intercept them and store them to use later

Use a pre paid card then. But the amount of orders they have had is good. This is their new website and maybe not fully setup yet.
Mine came today myHermes with a trackable barcode. Not had a chance to use it as i'm on 2.x and need to buy a game which has an 4.x update. Thanks. Also I was charged £55.56.
Glad to here, hopefully this thread is building their reputation.
Got mine from here too. Took a week from despatch to delivery and works like a charm. Highly recommended
Ordered an EZ Flash IV card friday last week from these guys, said it was 2-5 day delivery. Still not arrived, but that could be due to easter weekend last weekend. Not happy that the price was £33 shipped, but I got charged £36 on my bank account. They haven't provided a tracking number, and haven't replied to any emails or social media messages...
Never mind. It arrived today. The build quality isn't very good, but this is on EZ Flash, not the seller. Still not happy about being charged extra but oh well. Got my kit. 
Hi, I ordered a sky3ds card with you two weeks ago and received it last week with no fuss. Payment went through of £66.28 okay to "HOT SALES ESTORE". My friend then bought one today but the payment went through to "buttycostumes online" instead for roughly £69 and is worried about the differences in our orders. Can you clarify as to whether there has been a change of provider or anything?
Thank you very much in advance
I ordered from http://3dscarduk.com on sunday, posted monday but still not received today. would have thought it would be here by now and no response when emailing them to enquire.

Hi there, I'm planning on ordering from them too but wanted to check their reputation online first. May I ask if you've received your order yet?
Yeah I received it in the end, came as signed for delivery. Never got a response from my emails, but they did deliver in the end.

Great, thanks for the update. I ordered mine yesterday and it shipped today. Hopefully it arrives a bit faster since I'm in the same city as where their warehouse is apparently located.

So, an update and summary of my experience with new3dscard/3dscarduk.
June 23rd: Order placed for SKY3DS in the afternoon
June 23rd: Payment cleared
June 24th: Order marked as shipped
June 27th: Order arrived, signature required
I contacted them a day before purchasing to ask about stocks and they replied within 24 hours, however emails asking for tracking numbers after the item was marked as shipped were never replied to. My card was charged slightly more than the price advertised on the webpage, probably due to the currency conversion as mentioned in a separate thread.
A brief examination was conducted on the package in which the item arrived in, it was a standard padded envelope with a Royal Mail label attached and no Chinese labels or Air Mail stickers. The bar codes on the front were decoded to reveal the tracking numbers, and using them I found that the package was sent using Royal Mail's 24 Signed-For service. Unfortunately the online tracking doesn't provide information about when the package was sent, nor where it was sent from. Given that the 24 Signed-For service is supposed to deliver items between 1-2 working days, the delivery time falls within this timeframe (assuming that the item was posted on the 24th and picked up by RM on the 25th). I can only assume that the item was indeed sent from within the UK, since posting from China definitely would have taken a significantly longer time. Several serial numbers were also present on the label, but yielded no further useful information.
As for the flash cart itself, it works perfectly with my N3DS XL on 9.8.0-25E, RegionFOUR also works fine.
To cap it off, I believe 3dscarduk does dispatch their products from the UK. Sometimes delivery times may be a bit longer, but you do get the item in the end. They don't always reply to emails about orders that have already been sent, but there shouldn't be any reason to worry. Compared to other sellers I've used, they're definitely the fastest when it comes to shipping.

Here's my appalling experience dealing with 3dscarduk.
May 27th: Ordered for SKY3DS and R4i Gold 3DS RTS cards (payment made £79, paid extra £2 to use Royal Mail but actual charged to my credit card was £80.81)
May 28th: Order dispatched.
June 4th: Sent an email to query the tracking number
June 5th: Received reply and been told that it should be on its way but didn't provide tracking number.
June 9th: Asked for tracking number again.
June 10th: Tracking number provided and phoned Royal Mail to check the tracking number, but they couldn't find it on their systems, so I wrote back to 3dscarduk and asked for tracking URL
June 17th: No email received back, so I wrote back and asked for further information.
June 18th: Been told that they will contact the shipping company
June 22th: Since no update was received, I simply asked to either refund the money or resend the items.
June 24th: Finally received the reply and confirmed that they will reship, so I sent an email back in a good faith to let me know tracking number and ETA on delivery.
June 25th: Sent another email for tracking number again but no reply.
June 26th: They replied but I been told to wait for more rather than providing me with a tracking number!
I wrote back and asked why they changed their mind and kept asking me to wait for more, and of course, if they didn't bother to reply my email by Monday, I'd contact my bank instead to charge back the transaction which I just did it (only then I learned they charged few quids extra to my card!) I been very polite, reasonable and had a good faith when they said, they would reship the items but clearly, they didn't!
Some of you have managed to received your orders, so I presume, they are not scammers but please be aware that they are not trustworthy either. If it gets lost in the post, they do not take responsibility and you'd get frustrated big time. Finally, please don't be fool by the name "uk", since they are not a UK company and they didn't dispatch my order from UK post office either according to their email!

Here's something I noticed with other China-based sellers, sometimes they accept orders even though the items aren't in stock and mark the orders as dispatched before they actually send them to buy themselves time before new stock arrive. That's why they don't reply when asked for tracking numbers or cannot provide any tracking details because it doesn't exist.
