Hacking Gateway 3DS Availability

[mystril]

Just to update. I bought 3DS Gateway @ 30/Aug. Shipment didn't deliver even till today! Realized it was lost in transit.

Ticket status: New

Department: General

Subject: Almost 2 Months

yes, you can,, only 8/30- 9/3 , during that time, Hongkongpost reject all packages, our shipping company change another post to ship, some of them , still can not track,, but from Oct , we change to China post.. it looks good, form thin month no complain now..

Sincerely,
Real Hot Stuff - Hong Kong

This means my package was on that unlucky 4 days that Hong Kong Post rejects all the packages! Got refunded and re-ordered. At least this is just an anomaly event. The good thing about RHS HK is that they reply to your questions promptly. Good service.

I didn't imagine having to wait 4 months to try a Gateway 3DS. At least I have Mario Kart pre-installed =D (Silver lining)

Just received the gateway that I purchased a while back from eachmall. Took a little over two weeks to arrive here in the west coast, but at 65 shipped I guess I can't complain. Not regretting my purchase even with the new announcement from competitors. Can't wait for gateway 2.0 to come.

How nice, it's been four weeks since i ordered mine (eachmall too) and it is not even on my country yet.

Got mine from modchipcentral yesterday. Took 3 weeks.

Works great. Tested about 30 ROMs and zero problems.

hi, i read some feedback which concern cymods but still need other testimonies, are they reliable ? what about shipping times (everywhere) ? are the cards they sell genuine ? thanks

 

[t4ils]

I bought one on Cymods on December the 19th, with the Registered Mail 5-10 days delivery option.
I received the shipment confirmation the day after with a comment stating that they didn't received the stickers and packaging from their supplier yet, but that they are still shipping the gateway without them so that I get the linker asap.

I'm still waiting for the package. I'll get back here when I receive it

 

[Skiller23]

thanks for answer, do you mean that you received the GW cards without stickers and package ? if so, how long it took to get the GW cards ?

 

[t4ils]

Sorry, I misspoke.
When I said package, I meant postal package.

I'm still waiting for the gateway linker to arrive.
Then, stickers and gateway packaging will follow.

Due to Christmas and new year's celebrations, I'm expecting a slight delay regarding the 5-10 days delivery window. But who knows

 

[Skiller23]

i contacted them and they say that they recieved the stickers and trays but not the external packaging, i'll wait until they have the entire package and then i can order
thanks for help

Alright, I just received the Gateway.
Everything works fine

14 days delivery, not so bad considering the holidays

thanks for feedback, i ordered mine from them and it was shipped the 30/12, hope will recieve it in delay

I ordered right now from cymods.com, I doubt they'll send it tomorrow, but I hope it gets shipped Monday. For timing sake, lets pretend I ordered Sunday. I chose the Registered Mail 5-10 days option, lets see how long it takes to get here (Portugal).

Sorry for the double post (seems there's little interest to post in this thread nowadays )

My Order from cymods just arrived, it was dispatched on the 7th, and arrived today the 17th, so 8 working days. The packaging is really nice, so was the price, and the delivery time, so, I would totally recommend people from Europe to order from them. The tracking number they provided actually worked

i'm still waiting for mine, bought from cymods and shipped the 30th

You must have a tracking number, they use EMS, and Poste from Algeria are EMS members, so you are able to track your package. Try this website http://www.track-trace.com/post to track it from Cyprus, but i think Poste doesn't have a tracking option, so you never know when the package arrives there. If you chose the cheapest shipping method it's still within normal time, maybe next week you'll get it.

I don't know how EMS works, but I've made several orders in the past, from different countries, and EMS never failed the deadline, at least for me, and within Europe.

Is it normal to take so long for packages to get to your home after they reach the country? You should go to your local post office, and check if the package isn't "stuck" there.
