I received my order today, an English R4+1GB Japan MicroSD card. It took 10 days from when it shipped which is just as they advertised so I am happy. I'll try out the card later to make sure everything works as it should but so far I have no complaints.

Ordered an R4 + White shell on June 11th, free shipping, checked USPS tracking today and learned that it's in the US, in a town about 15min away from me.
Should be getting it today!

edit:: just got it...it was the white version...looks like DealExtreme isn't selling black ones anymore, now I have a spare white shell XD

edit again!: Also, I'm not sure exactly how to explain it, but the clicking seems different than the other one I had, maybe they fixed the clicking problem?

R4 = 1GB Kingston(Japan) micro SD - $44.96

order placed on 6/4/2007 1:15:54 PM
On 6/7/2007: Shipped - via Hong Kong Post
package arrived today 6/15/07 9:55 AM

Seems they are getting quicker than last time I orderred from them.

Everything was OK with package, micro SD card looks legit and R4 is playing games fine. I've tried last ~10 releases and all worked so far except korean Wario that was just released, don't mind as I can't read or speak korean anyways.

I ordered the same package on the 7th, shipped on the 8th, so maybe it will be here tomorrow or early next week.

I'm glad I'm finding out about all this crap before I get the thing. I'm gonna be sooooo careful with it.

Anyone know if USPS is active on Saturdays? I know they deliver, but do they actually move packages?

bought a r4 with the 1gb micro sd combo from them, took about 2 weeks from time I ordered to get to Canada. This is using a paypal without money in the paypal account, so it took like an extra day or two to verify the funds, so not bad on the shipping, considering it was free. Didn't have any problems with customs or charges. It was marked as a gift, and said LED flashlight.

The actual R4 was in it's box, which seemed to have been somewhat squashed from either shipping or else wise. Nothing to effect the chip or anything else sever. It is a White R4 case, which is different then what I have ordered from other places (being black). Don't believe they mentioned the colour on the website when ordering.

Works flawlessly, put the 1.08 firmware on, runs smoothly.
Overall I am impressed with the price and free shipping. Defiantly worth buying from if you don't mind the little wait.

Why not put Firmware 1.09? The latest...

Ordered on 6/6
Shipped on 6/6 (lucky??)
Recieved on 6/16 (No EMS)

I guess I got lucky. Got a note from USPS today (not home), going to pick it up. Still waiting for my Sky2k Supercard SD though, but this should last me until then.

They ship on saturdays, and they kind of get ready to ship things out monday.

Just a few hours left until I'm able to go pick up my R4. Cannot wait.

First thing I'm going to do is Flashme so it is invulrunable to brickers.
