Hacking anout modchipstore.com

[Katalyst]

I bought my R4 DS from modchipstore.com, and I used 2-Day shipping because I couldn't stand waiting longer for it. It got here on time, and it works like a charm. I would definitely suggest to everyone out there who are looking to buy an R4, get it from modchipstore! I had first placed an order at bamboogaming and my order got all mixed up, and cost me $60. But i cancelled it and ordered from modchipstore, and with the 2-day shipping it still came out $5 cheaper!

Ground shipping might have been the same time depending on where you're located. I went with ground and got mine the next morning

I sould have went with something else then ground.

Their customer service sucks balls.They dont even reply to emails

EDIT:I guess if they dont ship Monday im screwed.

Eh, I doubt that would have made much of a difference. I mean, you're in the same state as them

I'm in GA and I did ground and still got it next day. As far as their customer service, I actually haven't had to deal with them (granted I've only ordered an R4 at the beginning of the year and a PS2 modchip from them a few years ago). If you say their customer service does suck though, guess I should be glad I didn't have to deal with them

They should probably ship Monday. Don't see why they wouldn't (not a holiday or anything) unless they're just being assholes ;o

I placed an order for 2 r4dses on Monday, 5:14pm and opted for 2-day shipping to get it before this weekend, because at the time I placed the order the website was reflecting the item in-stock. The next day when I went to check order status, it said "backordered" and the estimated shipping date was Thursday. What?

So I sent a # of emails, only the first of which got a reply. I told them that this was not what I was accepting and that they should bump my shipping up to next-day to ensure I get the products before the weekend, since that's what I'd been banking on and had made arrangements for given the information presented on the website at the time of the order. They said no, and ONLY TODAY have I gotten an confirmation that the order was even processed. Now the order tracking on their homepage says my estimated shipping date is the 17th, which was Wednesday?

In sum: I am pissed off because one of the cards was a gift for someone who's leaving town right after this weekend, and I was hoping to get this weekend to play games together and set up our DSes. The information on the website is inconsistently updated, and they are not helpful at all in either assuaging anxiety or keeping customers updated when there are inventory problems.

I would not endorse modchipstore.com to anyone.

Great

People were bragging this place up,and now they pull this

All because the R4 said "Ships in 24 hours",but in reality they were sold out =/

I had heard nothing but praise for this place and was advised to shop here because the company's in Texas (I live in Dallas), implying I'd get my stuff possibly even faster.

I understand shipments get delayed and demand can be overwhelming, but ordering a product I was led to believe was in-stock and would ship immediately only to have spent more than I normally would on shipping that now ensures nothing is unacceptable. Their total lack of updates (except those on the front page of their website, in the news section, clearly posted only to generate more sales) is insulting. I can't express my displeasure enough.

Whatever. Live and learn, and share the dirt on internet forums.

Yup,The only thing that irritates me is the lack of email support.Plus the lack of updates =(

I'm sorry you are having problems m8.

My order from them was handled very accurately, and the DHL delivery was at my door an astounding 5 days after I placed my order for an R4DS.

I will happily use them again in the future.

They seem like nice chaps, I am nearly certain they will get it sorted for you. Best of luck.

I just got a email that my order was processed.

They have excellent reviews on the net, I'm happy so far

Guess it's a hit and miss with modchipstore.com (but aren't all things in life). They were awesome for me both times I've ordered something from them. No problems, shipped fast, therefore, I recommended them with everyone else. Ah well, win some, lose some. Hope everyone who's having issues with them gets it all sorted out.

 

[jhoff80]

My R4DS just shipped out. It had been backordered for this whole week, but other than that I've had absolutely no issues with them.

 

[joe_gamer]

FYI - just got email for the DHL shipment, they shipped it today

Can't wait.....hehe

 

[kiruyama]

Wow, they just shipped mine. I ordered it a week ago. This is lame, but hopefully I'll get it by Tuesday? I'm not ordering frrom here again, they falsely claim to have an item in stock and "ships within 24 hours." God, it's been three weeks since I've been trying to get an R4. >_>

 

[EarthBound]

Its look like i got ripped.

Is there any action i can take if i dont receive mine?I sould have used another site via paypal

I would definitely steer anyone away from modchipstore.com based on my experience.

I ordered an R4 DS early on Sunday morning. At the time the site's top news headline was: "M3 Simply Sold Out Again! Buy R4 it is Same!". The item was listed in stock. I ordered it with next-day shipping.

The next day, the site lists my order as backordered. The news still says it's in stock. My credit card has already been charged. I file a ticket asking what's going on (because they don't list an email address on the site that I can find). I get no answer until yesterday (Thursday), saying nothing other than telling me it will ship today (Friday). There was a shipment Thursday though, so probably their stock status was wrong for so long that even one day worth of shipments wasn't enough to cover their backlog. If they'd at least sent it Thursday, I'd have it for the weekend, but no.

I then asked them to change the shipping address. Multiple requests in a day were not answered.

The username/password they sent me to use the support system didn't work, and repeated requests to fix it got no response.

This site is not trustworthy (they don't tell the truth about products out of stock), their customer service has been abysmal, and they'll charge a credit card long before shipping the actual product. Beware.
