Should I be worried about ordering ~7 AK2's shipped to the US?

nope. it might be better to ship items separately but that is for different items. DX should handle it fine.

QUOTE(hyun @ Nov 4 2008, 09:19 AM) Anybody can estimate how long it will take to DX to ship it to WA USA

2-4weeks from day of ordering (I think anywhere in NA is about the same time).

Let me know if you can find me ONE report of either an AK2 or an EDGE on DX as being fake.

DX's reputation is solid, the only fakes I've heard of were DSTTs.

yeah and the rest of the site is all RETAIL LEGIT STUFF TOO ISN'T IT!!!

99.9% of DX stock is either clone or fake/pirate goods yes the do sell some legit stuff but not much at all hence its so cheap!

Anybody can estimate how long it will take to DX to ship it to WA USA

anywhere from 10 - 20 days from the date it ships. they usually take about 3-5 days to go from order to shipped status.

Bought 4 M3 Real cards and everything is fine. Shipment was between 3 and 10 weeks.
10 for a 4gb micro sdhc card. and the batterypacks for psp are fakes, they dont have the full power and arent made by sony, but the package is a perfect doppelgaenger.

I heard that DX shipped Green pcb Acekard2 so... idk there are no sites that can beat Dx's prices
Anybody know how to know if ur ak2 is fake or not????

 

[Blfdgfdghd]

deal extreme is ok but sometime they sell fake thing so i get a flashcart form www.dealwoot.com

 

[hyun]

Doesnt www.leetmod.com also sell real ak2???

Posts merged

is there any way to know if ur ak2 is fake or not?

 

[Slowking]

There are no fake acekard 2s. In fact there are no fake DS Flashcards apart fro the R4 clones. I guess the teams protect their products to well for this to happen.
and for other things: in generel dealextreme don't sell their clones as originals. You can allmost allways see if it's the real thing or not.

There's fake DSTT cards too, I think.

Yes. Leetmod.com will cost more than dealextreme.com but has much faster shipping and excellent customer service (they test their flash carts before sending them out to help reduce the chances of getting a bad one).

is there any way to know if ur ak2 is fake or not?

As someone else mentioned, there are currently no fake AK2's. However, Acekard recently redesigned the Acekard 2 because the older design was prone to quality issues, and the newest ones have a black PCB and have "2.1" on them (the old ones have a green PCB and don't have "2.1" on them). Dealextreme sells the new ones (although I've heard of old ones occasionally being sold, presumably because they sometimes resell returned carts that still work). If you happen to get an old one, they should let you exchange it for a new one and they should pay for the return shipping. I don't know if Leetmod.com sells old or new ones (their site claims that it's a 2.1), but they have very good customer service so if you e-mail them they'll probably tell you.

Yup! And the Edge is probably a (limited) clone of the CycloDS.

first one has NO MEM CARD READER

second one has MEM CARD READER

and that's the only difference apart from $0.25 price difference .. you may as well go for the one with a card reader more so if you don't actually have a card reader
