(Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this!)

I'm looking for a good place to get a Gateway since I'm getting one for christmas. I'm Canadian, so since I left it so long and don't want to pay express shipping, I've been looking at modChipCentral (They ship from Canada, are pretty close, and you can pay in Canadian dollars), however I'm a little bit wary after reading these: http://www.resellerratings.com/store/ModchipCentral


How have your guy's experiences with them been? Any other resellers you would recomend?

They were very trustworthy for me. I submitted my order and promptly got what I bought in the mail in 4 days. You mentioned you were Canadian however, so I don't know what goes on between the borders that might delay shipment, though I doubt that will be a problem.

If you're worried about credit card fraud, you shouldn't be, although you should note that they can't accept PayPal due to policies out of their control (I hear WCRepairs takes PayPal, but from what I understand a lot of people had problems with them).

ModchipCentral has a Canadian warehouse as well, I buy from them no prob all the time.

I would not recommend doing business with these theives. They are scamming Tempers with Wiikey U preorders.

They took preorders and six months later there is still no product. Charged customer's credit cards $114 and demand a 25% restocking fee to cancel your order for a product that they cannot deliver. Their terms and conditions are written so they can not deliver your product, can delay indefinitely and keep your money.

Check out the last few pages of the "Where is Wiikey U?" thread over on the Wii U section.

You have been warned

They're not scamming people. People need to learn how to read.

To OP: I've ordered many times from them and have never had any issues.

the wiikeyU was out of their control. How can you expect them to know that was going to happen?

i was going to order GW from them because they were giving a free 3ds USB charge cable and a usb sd reader with purchase, (not sure if they are still doing that)
but i think they would not accept my CC, i think they do not not accept visa, only mastercard i think ,i forget but i think they only accept a certain card
i ended up ordering from RHS instead which i was leaning to because of faster shipping because i am on the east coast and they ship from NJ , came in like 4 days from RHS ,just like my DSTWO

They have to do full refund. that is all. Nobody is expecting them to create a Wiikey U.
Modchipcentral is refusing to offer a fellow Temper a full refund. That is in their control. So how would you answer the question "Is ModchipCentral Trustworthy?"

He will get his money back in the end but will have to spend a lot of time on the phone with his bank disputing the charge.

I totally agree with you and my post wasn't aimed for you. If you sell someting you don't have, you do a full refund when requested. Modchipcentral had to investigate the situation before opening pre-orders and taking people's money.

He pre-ordered, then decided that he's impatient and doesn't want to wait for the product to come out. Whose fault is that?

Impatient? Seriously?

The stated release date was July or August and it is now December. How many years due you feel they should be able to hold his money?

You have proof that it doesn't exist?

There was never a release date set by the key team.
SHIPPING LATE NOVEMBER* STILL IN PRODUCTION NO EXACT DATE OF ARRIVAL YET
*DATE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE
Is the whole "STILL IN PRODUCTION NO EXACT DATE OF ARRIVAL YET" and "*DATE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE" not enough for you?
