GBAtemp disapproves...
WikiNDS: do not order.
Some of you might wonder why you still haven't received your Tempmas prizes. Let me tell you how things work around here.
When the end of the year comes, some shops usually contact us to sponsor competitions: they offer prizes for our members (nothing for the staff, sadly
) in exchange for a mention in the news on the portal. This year, IShopVideoGame.com was the main sponsor for the Tempmas competition. We posted the news accordingly, with a large thanks to our generous sponsor. Other shops thought they could join the fun.
Indeed, WikiNDS, a former affiliate (with which we already had advertising payment issues in the past) contacted us saying they would sponsor a good portion of the prizes offered in the competition. We happily and perhaps naively accepted the offer and advertised their shop numerous times in the same fashion.
Tempmas was a joyful time, we had some awesome entries and a lot of people got prizes. It's now time for sponsors to come into play. We contacted all 3 sponsors in order to remind them of the agreement. Sadly, our requests to WikiNDS fell on deaf ears. We sent them a large number of e-mails, we contacted them via their website and in every possible way: still nothing.
We are thus forced to say that they took advantage of us by promising something to our members, and they did not keep up with their promise. We hereby disapprove this shop and unless they decide to suddenly wake up, we recommend all our members to never purchase anything from their website again. They are dishonest, and the fact that they completely ignore customer emails is probably a decisive argument. They didn't even send a word of apology explaining their reasons.
Thanks for your understanding.
PS: as for the missing prizes, we will have to pay them from our own pockets, unless something new comes up.
