PSA: TX Pro from 3ds-flashcard with free shipping

CaptainLoozer · Jun 27, 2018

I ordered mine on the 17th of May and got free shipping because at the time the only other option was the 40 dollar DHL and... screw that.

Anyway, I'm on the 3dsflashcard discord and after seeing tons of people get tracking confirming that they'll have their pros this week and I haven't received any sort of update that mine has even SHIPPED yet, I contacted Allen. I was told that EVERYONE that got free shipping on their orders will not even have theirs shipped out any earlier than next week regardless of when you ordered. Their reasoning was that they want everyone who got free shipping to upgrade to USPS shipping from inside the US so they can get it faster. My problem with that is that if they had just shipped the first batch to us instead of to their US warehouse, it'd already be on it's way and probably arrive around the same time if not just a little later, which I'd be fine with. It really sucks that they did this without telling anyone and now people who ordered much later after they provided the option to get USPS shipping during the ordering process will get theirs first.

The only reason I know this now is because I messaged them directly. If I hadn't, I'd still be waiting on it to ship from china from a 2nd batch, even though I ordered in May. And now I have to pay an additional shipping charge and he said the fastest they could get it out would be a couple of days from now. I'm really not happy about it, but I guess that's all I can do if I don't want to wait another month or two for the 2nd batch to ship from china.

Ultimately, I've heard good and bad things about 3ds-flashcard but honestly this has been my experience and so far I'm not pleased with it. Then again I also ordered another from modchipsdirect and they have even worse communication so it seems the grass isn't really greener. Hope this helps if you're still waiting to hear from them. Better change your shipping method before its too late if you care about getting it anytime soon.

TL;DR - 3DSFlashcard used the first batch for people who ordered later when they had the US option, everyone who got free international shipping were bumped back to 2nd/3rd batch unless they fork out extra money.

Yeah, if you're in america at least shell out the 6 bucks. I got my shipping label yesterday, personally.

I did. Honestly it's better than waiting for china shipping at this point, but I just wish they'd have sent mine in the first batch since I pre-ordered on day one. They put everyone that got free shipping on the back burner. I'd have been fine waiting for it to get here from china had they done that. But now I'll be waiting at least a month for sure.

I really just made this post to vent a little and to warn anyone else like me that had no idea that they did this. I assumed because I ordered day one that I'd be in the first batch but that's not the case and they're doing a terrible job at notifying people of this.

Oh no no, I was just agreeing. That, people shouldn't get free shipping because sometimes you will not see shit for months, sometimes at all. It's like buying shit from Wish, you wish it would get here faster, but it'll be about 3 months.

Also, you bought it day one? How the hell did you not get first batch? When I asked, they said I was part of first batch, even though I ordered on June 1st. Unless they lied. I don't know at this point.

That's my point of this post. The took the first batch and shipped it to their warehouse in the US. They didn't send out any of the free shipping orders yet, doesn't matter WHEN you ordered it. And they're neglecting to tell anyone this. The only way i can NOW get in the first batch is to change my shipping method which I had to pay extra for after the fact. It's pretty shady.

And more than likely they're lying to you. I emailed last week to ask what the deal was and they responded saying that it had already shipped, which I found out today was a lie.

I ordered mine may 20th and the website sent all the Pros to those who ordered express shipping, even those who ordered literally right before the 15th, those people got there's last Friday, I paid for USPS, it's coming this Friday, so atleast there's that but I'm not ordering from this website again, terrible service and a real nasty move to give those who ordered express shipping, there pros first. When I say that, I mean people who ordered during the week of the 15th of June who paid express shipping, got there's before those who pre ordered a month ago and paid usps, if I had known that, I'd have paid for the express shipping.

CaptainLoozer · Jun 27, 2018

Here's the email I got from them on the 21st.

And here's my order on their website. You can see it has said "preparing" for some time now, they claim it has shipped but in reality they shipped my Pro to the US for someone else to get before me because they shelled out extra money after the fact. I ended up having to do the same thing.

ZachSZ · Jun 27, 2018

This explains why mine is still prepping when I pre-ordered the day they went up. I'm more bothered by the lack of updates and being left in the dark than I am about having to wait longer for my sx pro. I definitely won't be using them in the future.

DKB · Jun 27, 2018

Fuck paying another 25 dollars to get it faster, that's nuts. I could buy the SX OS and get it much faster..

KamelRed · Jun 27, 2018

I had chosen the free shipping (preorderd in May) but after talking to Allen on discord I was given the option to pay $6.50 for USPS and have it sent that day. I sent the funds via paypal, provided a screenshot of payment, got a tracking number, and it should arrive on Friday.

I'm not happy with how he runs his business (its pretty much a one man operation though) but as long as I get what I ordered I can let it slide. It just kinda shitty how you need to use discord to get any results beyond a canned response with vague information.

2018-06-05 05:49:05 USPS US Local|From USA 0.070 kg $6.50

I paid $6.50 for shipping but still have not heard anything from them. No tracking number either. Starting to think I should have order from somewhere else.

ChaosInJapan · Jun 27, 2018

Mine was shipped on 21st. It has already left China, according to the tracking system.

Ordered: 06/03
Shipped: 06/21
Country: Spain
Delivery: Free Shipping

Let's hope it gets home soon.

Yes, they apparently shipped out the pre-orders that were outside the US but anyone inside the US they held on to their Pros and shipped them to their US warehouse. Now they're wanting you to pay additional shipping or wait for the 2nd/3rd batch.

People paid an insane amount of money to get them super fast. Thats not nasty, thats business. I ordered on the 17th of may and I'm getting mine on friday. I have no issue with that. This is not directed towards you 100%, but people are a little impatient with this kind of stuff. Just wait it out and forget about it. Hold all of the excitement in. I ordered and forgot about it and I know as soon as that thing says delivered I will be jumping up and down.

Moral of the experience, you pay more, you get held at a higher standard. That's the world. I love 3ds-flashcard. The only reason it took so long is because they wanted to announce it before the stock was in the US. Personally I feel that is a bad move on their part, but they wanted to make sure they got it out before free CFW. This all would have been alot different if they had them made before announcing it.

tbb043 · Jun 27, 2018

USPS shipping claims (we'll see, the USPS is pretty crappy itself, I've had problems with stuff using them even just a few months ago...) mine's gonna get here tomorrow, but tracking says as of 2am it was all the way across the country in fucking California... So glad I didnt' pick "free" shipping. TRying to leverage those that did into other methods now... Shady as fuck. Never order from stores in china if you have another place to order from. I didn't know that's where they are. Nothing but shadiness and/or poor service from there.

Sure, if you want to run your business that way, that's fine. But what's also part of business is when your customers speak publicly about your practices. IMO, and honestly what I believe to be most other's opinion as well, orders should be shipped in the order that they were received. How fast it gets to you AFTER that depends on how much you paid for shipping.

Holding on to stock and sending it somewhere else instead of fulfilling orders that were already placed over a month ago is shit. I realize I didn't pay for fast shipping, but that doesn't account for why my order hasn't even SHIPPED yet when I ordered on day one. Had it shipped on the 16th like they originally said, it would be at my door this week more than likely. As of this morning, my Pro STILL hasn't shipped and I had to pay EXTRA to have them ship it from the US now because their US stock just arrived.

Their US stock is made up of first batch orders that should have gone to people who ordered day one. Not as extra stock in their US warehouse for people who order today.

Well I ordered from them and I'm in no rush, but it will be my last time I order from them.

Randall Stevens · Jun 27, 2018

I've posted 4-5 times on this site about these fools. They didn't tell me about the $6.50 shipping until I sent 4 messages that went ignored and finally harassed the sh*t out of them on discord. They have some jackwagon named skull-something-or-other running PR for them; which is him just customer bashing with a smile.

Clown shoes, the entire lot of them. I'll never ever give them another dollar.

I've actually talked to the skull guy before. The deal with him is he's just some guy like you and I that likes ordering from the site and he offered to set up a discord for Allen. Naturally, that made him the admin of it. That's as far as that relationship goes, he doesn't actually officially work for 3dsflashcard and can't really speak for them, although he does in a way. Allen doesn't seem to have a problem with it.
