I think it should be worth noting that couriers like UPS tend to charge brokerage fees far in excess of the tax that might be levied by a government when importing something. I refuse to deal with UPS myself, after they tried to bill me almost $70 to import a package with a marked value of about $120. They're crooks, pure and simple.

I've never had a problem with Hong Kong Post, or indeed the mail service of any country I've ever received anything from.

This is a great idea, and the prices: damn. I wish I hadn't bought my Acekard so early.
One product I desperately need is a DS WiFi adapter (since Nintendo stopped selling theirs). Plus, some variety for the DS lite replacement cases would be nice too, especially the transparent colors.

One thing that i think is essential and comes with no cost for you at all is that you mark the packages as gifts. If thats done atleast in the EU we get our product toll-tax free (Most of the times). You can also mark the package is worth like 20$ instead of the real deal (if its alot more). That will help too

I lol'd. Its all about money and advertisement. Don't get your knickers in a twist.

I lol'd.

What money and advertisement does the supercard team get out of doing this for them?

To be honest i don't believe it anyway tbh.

They will get the cards before me, but thats because they are in Hong Kong and im in Ireland.

But getting the card cheaper and a week earlier, i don't think so, gonna go right to the top of the team to find out about that part.

This is important to me and others, if you can't see that then fair enough.

Don't complain about it here.

Yes, they'll get it before you and yes they might get more sales. This shop is probably not going to be advertised heavily when compared to your site.

Provide competitive pricing and you'll stay as a popular flashcart dealer. Don't complain, here. Complain elsewhere like the SuperCard forum.

Looks awesome! Might pick up a few things in the near future. Loving that it's in £ btw....great job guys!

 

[shadow1w2]

Well, this will make it easier for me to get a DStwo now. Awesome.
The prices seem very DealExtreme ish but about a buck or two more expensive.
That seems normal and its good to see a little compeitition.
I hope the site improves a bit and that it has no trouble about having flash carts.
Maybe calling them "development and backup" tools might make them sound a bit better.

Hopefully this will last up and when the 3DS carts come out.

Though something tells me the site might get bombarded with orders and other problems.

Maybe it might be a wise idea to hold official games and imports eventually?
I wouldn't mind seeing a used game section popping up one way or another.

Good luck to ya, I'll keep an eye on this.

I'm worried about counterfeit flash carts or "clones", what will ShopTemp be doing to avoid that?
You can purchase your favourite flash carts from ShopTemp safe in the knowledge that they are all 100% legit, manufacturer made, flash carts. ShopTemp will absolutely not be selling counterfeit flash carts.

no matter what is said, and how hard this new shop works, i am worried about the cloned acekards. they have become better and harder to spot unless you know what you are looking for. acekard only sells directly to chinese wholesale outlets now, so perhaps this will not be an issue. only time will tell.

i also want to see how the return process goes. they need to be ontop of returns, offer free return shipping, a local drop box, kind customer support that understands that shite happens.

with the dingoo, are they selling the export version or the "HK" version. the "HK" version has serious flaws that prevent 3rd party emus from running in the native o/s. also the dingoo is nitorious for having d-pad issues. again i'm curious about returns. can any of the gbatemp staff, who is dealing with them, comment on returns?

edit---
i just submitted a ticket to get a question answered. lets see what happens....

[Splych]

awesomee~
now i know where to buy my flashcarts now!

at least it'll be safe to buy xD.

 

[BoxShot]

A Temp shop.

Still worried on those cloned Acekards though.

I should go buy an M3 off here since its pretty cheap.

 

[pcmanrules]

Looks good, i'm in need of some replacement parts. Pitty it doesn't have fuses for phats.

 

[bnwchbammer]

Wow, this is awesome. Hopefully it'll grow as new products come out, and new systems come out too.

 

[Gunmaster51]

Since the business is located in Hong Kong, does that mean orders are shipping overseas? I like to stay away from anything shipped from HongKong as it has always been a horrible experience every time.

Could someone inform me how this works, and how long does it usually take to be delivered in the states. If it isn't too bad then I will definitely order my next card from there.

Yes I'm interested in the shipping details also. Does anyone know if they will be shipping from Hong Kong?

 

[BoxShot]

Its from Hong Kong. How else do you think they have cheap prices.

 

[pkprostudio]

And just after I ordered an Acekard 2i last week...

 

[Linkpal]

The first thing I thought of when I saw this was the topic that asked about a Shop.

This is awesome! I'm gonna hop on that Supercard DSTWO deal.

 

[FADE5303]

It looks good, the bad image is it has R4 for sale in the main page

 

[Rankine]

So can someone tell me what's so great about "Supercard DSTWO" compared to other touted flashcarts like Acekard2i and CycloDS?
