Hacking Good place to by an Acekard 2i

[Jugo]

So far Ive ordered 2 Acekards both from Leetmod.com and both came in less than 5 days. The first was in 3 and second in 4 days.

Anyone who has ordered from lightake recently: has it arrived yet, and was it ready to use with the most recent firmware? I placed my order on January 13, and it apparently shipped from their warehouse on the 17th. I live in Toronto, Canada. Am I being too impatient, or should it have arrived by now?

I was in the same boat, also in T.O. The lateness is due to Chinese New Years. Normally it's around 3 weeks or so. The last two cards I received from them about a week ago were ALREADY updated. I was surprised because the previous orders were not.

The good thing about that is it shows they've checked it out and it works before shipping it out. Less returns on their end and less hassles on my end when something doesn't work. Win all around.

One thing I have notice about Lightake is that my orders are never on my order list. I just hope the bad rumors about Lightake isn't true because for the most part they've been good to me.

 

[ARRRRGH!]

I ordered my acekard2i from lightake late january and it's already in the US and it's on it's way to my house hopefully it gets here sometime during the week.

The acekard2i that i ordered from 0shippingzone around the same time as the lightake one barely left hong kong yesterday

either way im getting a card sooner or later

Just ordered 5 cards from 0shippingzone.com with tracked shipping and insurance, came to $73.30 (£45.41). Let see how long they take to deliver to the UK.
Found the memory card prices on all the recommended sites a bit high.
7dayshop.com do 8Gb MicroSD cards with free shipping from £7.79 each ($12.58) whereas 0shippingzone.com charge $12 for their 4Gb cards. I went for the faster class 4 8Gb Kingstons for £8.99

Firefox have blacklisted 0shippingzone as an attack site which was worrying but still took the risk after the recommendations on this site. Fingers crossed.

Got an email from 0shippingzone yesterday saying they've shipped it along with a tracking number and a picture of the parcel. They also said due to the China lunar years, HongKong post is experiencing heavy traffic.

On a side note; managed to get a Class4 Sandisk 8Gb MicroSD with free postage from Amazon for £5.83

I placed my order on jan 30 with 0shippingzone. According to the tracking number they gave me, it was posted on Feb 6 and is awaiting sorting and delivery to the UK.
All seems fair enough so far. I'll report back when I get my Acekards.

Having never owned an Acekard or ordered from this site before, I feel I should check it is genuine when it comes. Especially after all I have heard about fakes.

 

[ARRRRGH!]

well my acekard2i that i ordered from lightake on jan. 20th finally got here yesterday and it's NOT a fake yay!!
it AKAIO loaded just fine within minutes with no problem everything is running smooth

and the 0shippingzone order is still on it's way to the states

[ARRRRGH!]

wow you ordered yours a few days before i did and i got mine yesterday....i guess it's a hit and miss with the Chinese shops btw does the tracking number start with HK??

 

[kelvinphua]

is the lightake website down?

 

[twiztidsinz]

wow you ordered yours a few days before i did and i got mine yesterday....i guess it's a hit and miss with the Chinese shops btw does the tracking number start with HK??I think tracking numbers that start with HK are for the Hong Kong Post -- and is only good for tracking packages in China.

is the lightake website down?It's been down for a while now... close to a week I think.

Do you ever post anything useful?

 

[ARRRRGH!]

yeah but you can also track the in the usps site since he is in the US

 

[Joaopac]

It's been a pain in the ass, to figure out which site is the best for buy acekard2i...
Aren't the sellers from acekard's site list, reliable?

Another little question: I have a NDS Lite. Do I need to update something in the acekard2i before I start to use it? Or the update is only needed for NDSi?

Actually www.lightake.com has been working all the time. lightake.com on the other hand doesn't redirect correctly..

ARRRRGH! that's what I thought very odd I have no tracking # whatsoever and still no acekard

 

[xboxrules]

Jaopac, nds lite does not require any upgrades for acekard to work.

 

[ARRRRGH!]

ARRRRGH! that's what I thought very odd I have no tracking # whatsoever and still no acekard

did you pay the extra $2 for the tracking number/register mail??

 

[xboxrules]

No sir, I either did not see it or felt cheap when purchasing.. The thing that blows is I never had any issues with buying from DealXtreme or [censored] or ShopTemp in the past so did not even consider any problems when buying one from lightake... Fingers crossed..

Well so far my order from the 26th of January has been processed and it will be sent on the 11th of February to Finland thanks to the Chinese new year. Well that's what the Hong Kong post tracking tells me.. We'll see which cart will be in my DSiXL after they all arrive (DSTwo and AK2i from lightake.com and the iEvolution from Team Cyclops).
