Stargate worked great for me, got it 2 days after it was shipped for €45
they also ship to the us, in fact: it's closer than europe so it should be quicker?Considering you're using the "€" currency symbol, I'm assuming you're not based in the US...
So who has something good to say about ModChipsDirect?
Non-Stop delays? From my understanding, they only pushed back shipping a one or two working days (that's assuming they ship on this Monday or Tuesday) from the 1st batch update. I'm not exactly thrilled about my pre-order (I'm in batch 1), but their initial promise from my invoice states "The end of June," so it's not like they've been dishonest. However, they do seem to be the slowest out of all the listed re-sellers on Team Xecuter's site, so that definitely doesn't work in their favor.
The only reason I chose them is because it clearly states they are based in Michigan, and I wasn't able to find other re-sellers that claimed they were based in the US easily as well. They should do a solid for their customers and upgrade to 1-3 priority mail though.
I'm just curious though, have other USA based customers that chose a different re-seller received their orders? Also, I'm not talking about people that placed their order in the last couple of weeks, the early pre-order customers.
I asked them for an update and I got this back. I'm going to be patient and wait since they said end of June with possible delays.
Their response and my email after it :
Hi
it got delayed 3 days out of china
so that puts us 3 business days behind.
We have the stock now
you will get tracking next week
sorry for the delay, it was out of out control

Jury is still out with regards to SX Pros. I'm in batch one and still waiting for a shipping confirmation. It sounds like they have them in hand so I would expect a tracking number today or tomorrow. If not, I'm going to start to get a bit irritated and if Friday rolls around and I still don't have one I'll ask for a refund.
That said, I ended up ordering a SX OS code from them and they delivered it to me within the hour so their customer service there was top notch.
Sounds reasonable enough I suppose. I’ve been checking their site every day after ordering mine to keep track of how both batch 1 and 2 are doing. Waiting til Friday on your part seems fair. I hate asking for refunds, but if it starts getting out of hand after a couple weeks I may have to ask for one and look elsewhere myselfJury is still out with regards to SX Pros.

let me get this straight. You cancelled your order that you would have received in about 5-7 more days because you're inpatient so now you're going to wait 4-6 weeks more? interesting logic.I went ahead and canceled my batch 1 SX Pro order with MCD because I'm tired of the non-stop bullshit delays. I had zero faith in them getting my order out in a timely manner.
I know that I've effectively reset the block and everyone is back-ordered but I'm fine with waiting another few weeks (or month) so long as the company I'm ordering from understands how to effectively communicate delays and starts sending out the SX Pro the day it arrives and not sitting on inventory because they don't have enough people to stuff packages or they don't feel like working that day or insert reason here.
So with that, should I just order from SwitchSX? Other than one angry thread, they seem to be doing OK with getting product into the hands of people that ordered from them.
Waiting 4 more days to ask for a refund will put you 4 more days behind on getting your hands on an SX Pro.
I didn't cancel my order to spite them or because I'm impatient, I cancelled my order because I genuinely believe they are lying about having them in stock. Sitting on inventory because you're too bothered on the weekend to start stuffing packages? What kind of business plan is that??? A failing one.
Umm, no? Plenty of retailers don't ship on non-business days, especially small businesses like MCD. What kind of BS statement is that???
when you're being bombarded by bullshit emails it makes it harder to communicate.When you have a big launch and products that were delayed taking time off is questionable. I think working over weekend is appropriate, they said digital OS withing 24 hours so they should have been working anyway.
Assuming they got the Pro's I think packing and sending out tracking would have been proper thing to do. If they don't have then... then batch 2 mentioning the 26 likely is no where near correct.
And I did buy digital OS from them so I am not against them. Just wish they had better communication.

I've used MDC before and they're fine.

Since they've had them "in their hands" for 4+ days and haven't shipped a single one, your delusional if you think it would have shipped in 5-7 MORE days. Stop kidding yourself.
So you're saying it takes nearly TWO WEEKS to get an item shipped out and in your customers hands for an items you've been sitting on for 4+ days!?!?!??!?!?! You can't run a business like that.
Customer: Hey store owner, do you have item X in stock?
Owner: It's going to be here in 10 days. Once I receive it, I'm going to let it sit on my shelf for ANOTHER 10+ days and then tell you that it will be shipped soon and I'll ship it when I get around to it. I don't work on the weekends.
Customer: ?????????????????????????????????????????????

They got these in over 4 days ago. I'll be generous and lets say they got them in Thursday. Thursday night and Friday night, they should have been shipping A FEW out. Wonder if they're following the Star Citizen business model?
Waiting 4 more days to ask for a refund will put you 4 more days behind on getting your hands on an SX Pro.
I’d like to believe that since they’re answering tons of emails and being a little transparent about things, that they’re not out there to scam or anything, and that they genuinely had some delays with their shipments and whatnot
dude modchipdirect is ran by little kids,did you really expect them to have good service? That we don't work on weekends is BS,if you own a business you work 7 days a week period.
