I'm hopefully going to order a gateway soon, I live in the UK and there's been some mixed feedback about using teensy, I noticed today there's a few more UK official resellers on gateway's website and 'http://www.playmods.co.uk/en/gateway-3ds.html' is one of them.

Because it's in euros it'll work out cheaper than teensy even with the shipping, but I wanted to check if anyone has used these guys yet for some feedback?

 

Yeah, I ordered 2 Gateways from them about two weeks ago. Received them in about 1.5 weeks in Belgium. I think Paypal was the only payment option.

 

As far as I know it's based in Cyprus and it is an official Gateway reseller, so I won't think you'd have any problems. I am going to purchase my gateway from them when I get my 3DS too

 

After what I have read about Eachmail on this webboard there is no chance in hell I would ever order from them.

 

Good choice. I'm still waiting on the DSTwo I ordered almost two months ago, place your bets on which happens first - the package arrives, or Paypal makes its decision on my dispute claim

 

Ordered one time on playmods with Paypal after some problems with an other GW official reseller (no shipping, no answer to my emails, and maybe the one who stolen my creditcard number).

It went good with Playmods, but cannot be a general rule.

 

The thing about Teensy is, if they have them in stock, you'll get them within a few days. If they haven't got any in stock, you could be waiting weeks.

 

I've used Playmods before and I had a positive experience with them. I ordered my Gateway 3ds at the start of october and it arrived in 4 working days to Ireland, which I was fairly impressed with as i selected the 5-10 day delivery option. Once it arrived though it was effectively dead on arrival as I was getting errors with the FGPA chip (which i posted a thread about here asking whether to just return it or to try fix it myself). Once it was decided to return the chip, i emailed their support at around 10pm cyprus time. They replied to me within 20 minutes asking me to return the red card to them. I sent the card the next day and included tracking on it so as I could provide proof of sending it to them (this was for my own reassurance and not anything they asked for). I then sent a copy of my receipt with the tracking information to them at which point they replied and told me that my replacement was going to be in the post the next day and I would be emailed a tracking number. Sure enough the next day I received my tracking number, few days later I got my replacement and everything has been going smoothly since.

I would recommend them if you don't mind paying the extra, especially since from my experience their customer service was easy to deal with and very good at responding.

 

Just search this webboard. You will find lots of people who have had problems with them (wrong cards, problems paying, having to wait months for the package to arrive etc)

 

I ordered one through Yeahgeek, turned up after about 2 weeks. Would happily recommend them.
