Hacking buying DealExtreme R4

[Foie]

They don't have any worthwile coupons available at the moment, but I'll let you know if I see anything good.

Thanks for that info Giangsta.

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt for being able o deliver but I still don't like the way they've handled my situation.
It's taking FAR too long ad it's approaching 2 months of waiting now.

Tell us the results. I ordered an R4 + Kingston a while ago.. ( like 9 days? )

 

[iwakura]

i've made 14 total orders with deal extreme, ranging from laser pointers to R4s, and they have never taken me longer than 17 days. I've even gotten one in 10...

Same, got mines in 16 days.
The deals are not that bad really hence the name

, you just got to have patience for their shipping.

 

[michal]

Patience as in not expecting the oder to ever arrive?

Anyway, they've just resent the items with EMS shipping at no extra cost at my request so if that gets to me in some sort of reasonable amount of time it will go a long way to regaining some trust on my part.

I'll let everyone know how that goes.

I recall Dealxtreme selling clones of R4's? I'm not quite sure if that is true though.

 

[Sinkhead]

No, they are official R4s

i ordered a R4 from them it tooke about 18 days for it to get to me (they did not even ship it for a week), and i ordered a N-card from them it took them 2 months to send it to me (they were out of stock and did not get any in), so shipping takes about 2-3 weeks and longer if they are out of stock, they gave me 20 free dx points for the wait though, im going to buy a R4 replacement shell soon from them (they sell white R4 cases now).

i just found this post at the dealextremem website,

this person in the usa returned his defective R4, and has not recevied a replacement in 3 months, just a warning.

(he bought them in bulk, over 24 of them were defective maybe it was because he returned so many).

 

[Renegade_R]

You might of even noticed my post there...I think this is a rare case...everyone I have known (you know...regular customers) bought R4s from them normally and they've been nothing but satisfied. Don't you find it a bit odd he's returning 24 R4 units?

Any retailer would be pissed if you're returning so many units.

I would ignore someone who bought so much just to sell for a profit for as long as i can.

I hate people like that, though i find it very hard to believe 24 units were defective

Everyone wants money...

I personally hate those ppl too (Wii Ebayers as well), but hey this is the real world :|

actually it depends on how many he bought, if he bought a couple hundred if 24 of them were defective then he returned those 24 for whatever reason broken spring no bootup.

DealExtreme has always been very good for me.

I'm making an assumption here but maybe you're like me with eBay. Before buying something from a new seller I look through their feedback trying to see all the negative ones. Even if there's 1000 good ones and 3 bad ones I will always see what negative things people said and whether or not the seller sorted out the problem. In this case one of the staff members posted in that thread telling them he will deal with it straight away if the order number was provided. I have faith in DealExtreme because of orders with them however I understand if you are worried.

Ordered my R4 + Japan MicroSD combo from DealExtreme on the 21st of May. I received it today, June 04th. Everything works great and seems genuine.

I will definitely use Deal Extreme again!
