:(. So either hongkong tracking is just stuck/hasn't been scanned properly or it's still sitting in hongkong. Local post does not show either, but local tracking is just bad.

back to waiting I guess :(.

Most likely just hung up on their site. I've had deliveries yet the tracking still said leaving hong kong.

Just wanted to let you know that I finally received my Gateway 3DS from nds-card today (in France).
I had preordered it August 17th, it was supposed to be shipped august 27th but could only track it until recently (like most people).
It had departed from HK this saturday, so it was quite fast to get to my home from this point.

Thanks nds-card !


Similar boat as you since I preordered on the 18th August..... Only difference is that I am still waiting for the Gateway to be delivered

Status currently at:
"The item (RC*******HK) is being processed for departure from Hong Kong as of 7-Sep-2013."

I would have thought countries such as Australia, NZ, Singapore would generally get the quickest delivery from Hong Kong but apparently this is not correct.

delivery times estimation:

I live in New Zealand and orders from Hong Kong take from 14-42 days by post, i always DHL, but even from them it took 10 days.. If you are DHLing to AUS/NZ i would defineately recommend http://r4i-3ds.com Both Orders took 4/5 days, Both arrived on a Tuesday and orders had been placed the previous Thursday and Friday respectively, All Boxes/Stickers intact, and guarantee that cards had been tested before sending... I wonder if there is much interest here in NZ, was thinking of reselling, but i doubt 50 people with 3ds's in New Zealand even know about GW, let alone hoping there where actually 50 3ds's in New Zealand lol

I am also in NZ ordering from nds-card.

Using NZPost tracking actually gives quicker updates than the HKPost website. This is my NZPost tracking details:

Current status:
Arrived in New Zealand
Your item has arrived in New Zealand.
Scan history:
StatusScanned
1 Picked up 06.08 PM on 10/09/13
2 Left country of origin 11.27 AM on 12/09/13
3 Arrived in New Zealand 01.04 PM on 13/09/13

Where as HKPost still has:
The item (RCxxxxxxxxxxxxHK) left Hong Kong for its destination on 12-Sep-2013
So it pays to check NZPost tracking as well!

Your Hong Kong tracking status said it has left Hong Kong for its destination. Mine still says
"The item (RC*******HK) is being processed for departure from Hong Kong as of 7-Sep-2013." - I am pretty sure my Gateway is still sitting in Hong Kong. The only thing I will know if it has left Hong Kong would be if my tracking got upgraded to "left Hong Kong for its destination"

What's wrong? Is http://www.buygateway3ds.com/ reliable and does they have stock ? (They are on official reseller list)


ordered last friday from them and after 5 days got it. they are fast. not the cheapest but speedy.

Ok guys. It seems that people are finally getting their orders from nds-card, so I have one request. If your tracking number never worked and you still got your Gateway, please, let me know. This way I'll know the lack of proper tracking is not an issue. I guess I'm just hoping they have shipped it already. Thanks for the help.

So it seems that I'm not the only one who is still waiting for theirs from nds-card. I ordered mine on the 22nd last month, they sent it when they received them on the 27th but I could only use my tracking number a few days ago. Mine still reads:
The item (RCxxxxxxxHK) is being processed for departure from Hong Kong as of 7-Sep-2013.
Its not trackable from my local postal service either.

I only got it with them because they're "GBAtemp Trusted Reseller". Wish I did some research before ordering from them straight away.

Are you guys actually receiving them? I have a feeling something isn't right here...

I also got one from http://nds-card.com/shippingReturns.asp?sortID=452
Ordered on sunday and delivery on wednesday.
i ddint trust the free mailing, so bought the 18 dollar DHL safe server -__-
What i not satified about the product is that the price went down from 89 dollar to 71 dollar one day after i have ordered...
But i just checked the website, the price tag of gateway 3ds from that website is back to 89 dollar.
For those who is able to read chinese use TaoBao (kinda aliexpress), which list the gateway 3ds for around 66 dollar (yes pretty low and yet they are making still profit by selling it for that low). They don't deliver oversea and also i don't know how good the buyer protection is.

I got my Gateway 3DS in the mail today took only 5 days to get to me via ModchipsDirect!

Quick question(s)

do I need to FAT 32 format the microsd where the 3DS roms go?
Does the latest Gateway update bypass region lock for all 3DS games?

1) No, you just need to use the Win32 Disk Imager to make a 1:1 copy of the 3ds game onto your sd card.
2) As far as I know, yes.

Some have received from nds-card (using standard post). I have not received mine yet. My status is the same as yours. I am also in the UK (assuming your flag is correct).

It's in the system, so any delay/screw ups now are really on hongkong post. I'm not sure if anyone here (UK) has received them or had a status change to left hongkong. I have a feeling either tracking is not working right or hongkong post are just sitting on them until enough post is coming this way.

Makes me wish I went the extra mile, and got it sent via DHL. I really hope its a glitch and not the latter, since its already been so long. I was hoping that it would keep me entertained until GTA5 comes out but I guess I'll get it after gta
