Jandaman:

I have ordered on seperate occasions:
512MB EFA
EZPASS1
M3 SD.


These were all shipped to Ireland with within two weeks. The m3 came in less than a week. Jandaman himself replied to my emails pretty quickly. I recommend him.

Thanks for the feedback kieran

I've incorporated your points into the list.

If anyone else has any feedback for shop01.media/kick trading etc feel free to post it as I'm just going from one point of view at the moment. It's your feedback that will make a difference.

I've added Divineo, I've heard of a few people ordering from there before. Anyone have any more info on them?


*edit*

My dealings have been with

-Kick Trading (I can't recommend them enough, very quick email replies and shipping to Australia in a standard working week)

-Jandaman (but a long time ago so I don't know what they're like now)

-e2city (They were great, had good stock and great prices, shipping in a week too. However they are no longer operational)

-e-gadgets (an EZ-Flash only outlet, great prices, good service. No longer operational though)

I ordered my M3 from Divineo, the only option was 1-day shipping, but their price for the M3 was lower than other places and sure enough, I got it the next morning.

Winsunx should totally be on there as a good seller. They may seem a bit sketchy, but their shipping is fast and their prices are great. (Although shipping and payment charges bump the price up a bit, it's still pretty affordable.) I've heard of many a satisfied order from them.

My dealings include the following:

linker4u.com - Based in Hong Kong; I ordered a Supercard CF from them (this was before I knew of kicktrading). Price was a bit much, especially with shipping, and being sent from Hong Kong, took about a week and a half from ordering to receiving. However, I did eventually get it, so it wasn't that bad.

kicktrading.ca - Great place. Got my Superpass from them, quite cheaply and quickly. Should have gotten my SC from there as well. Will likely order from them again.

I have used Jandaman, shop01 and linker4u over the years.
Jandaman:
fast to ship even to the UK, did not require paypal. Nothing negative to say.
Shop01:
Fast to ship (less than a week and I ordered on a friday afternoon), did not require paypal. Cons: a bit expensive perhaps.
Linker4u. Although about 2 years ago, shipped my package via air mail rather than the quick option I asked for, charged me for the quick option none the less. At this point I had to use paypal.

okay, let's see where i have ordered (though it's been a while =) )

i ordered 2 f2a ultra 512MB kits at linker4u.com when they were released (linker4u had just opened their site because of the success-hk incident) and shipping via UPS was a bit pricy (USD 30-something) but since it arrived here in about 4 days that's quite okay for me.

the only thing i like to complain about is the customer support, that sucks big time (but we all knew that before, didn't we?!)! they do not answer to eMails or anything (though they seem to read them, because i cancelled an order via their support form and they cancelled it without notice - but it wasn't payed yet, that could be a reason too) ... also they don't accept paypal anymore, only worldpay or something like that. i don't know if that affects buyers protection or not but paypal was easier in my opinion

in the end, if everythings fine they are pretty good/fast but if there is trouble don't expect much help from their side!

edit: i just found out that they are offering icq live support by now ... i don't know how the support is when using that. just wanted to point that out!

I've brought from both Winsunx and Divineo. I can't recommend them both enough! I've emailed Winsunx multiple times, fast responses. I used to know one of the managers of Divineo.

I am sorry that this is off-topic, but I just want to point out that it is a great idea that this thread exists.

I've purchased from them on 2 separate occasions(m3's, passcard2). Competitive pricing on various flashcarts and accessories. Just received a shipment of Passcard 3's. Live inventory numbers. Good alternative to kicktrading.ca when they don't have items in stock.

Hi, can anyone post some feedback on Bamboo gaming at bamboo gaming dot com?

It seems pretty reasonable for supercard stuff as well as one of the cheapest shipping (esp for down under)

Three of my friends and I have ordered from Real Hot Stuff once, and he gave us an awesome deal!

Since we were ordering in "bulk": 4x SuperCards and 1x SuperPass2, he gave us somewhat of a discount. Ended up paying around $35USD for each SC and about $15USD for the SuperPass, I believe.

Real Hot Stuff even has a toll-free (for the U.S.) support number for whatever troubles may arise. Our SuperPass happened to be d.o.a. - but once we called him up, he was very quick to resolve our problem, and ship us a new SuperPass.

I would definitely recommend buying from Real Hot Stuff, and would do business with him/them again myself...


--edit--

Forgot to mention that shipping was prompt... at least within the U.S.
