@gamesquest1 Yep, I know from experience that these things can take a bit longer. I have bought a few things from nds-card & others before & I usually choose the fast shipping but once in a while I don't and it can take up to about a month give or take. Then again I believe that time was during Chinese new year... (I like to stay optimistic though.) :lol:
Edit: Thanks! I just noticed that you checked the right shipping time. ^_^
@Ryukouki That's true too. I almost forgot about the 4th of July somehow. :blink:

Honestly, those shipping estimates are HARDLY ever right. I've ordered things from China and have had things come by HKP or China Post and it's slooooow. Expect an average of about three weeks to a month, longer if it's a holiday coming up. Bottom line is, if you buy from China chances are you know how long the wait is and you don't care how long it takes. That's how they are able to drop the prices a bit lower. It just takes more time to get to your home country. Be patient, and let the system do its thing. It'll get to you in due time. ;)

I don't mind waiting; I've survived worse. ;) The summer of 2013 on gateway & the PSN + Target hacks both of which I wasn't affected by thank goodness... ^_^

But I don't get it, if their products are coming from HK anyway, how is it gonna be quicker to reach the US than the UK?
The shipping duration states that US can get their products quicker than the UK, is that actually true?

well they claim to be shipping from the US, so idk, often their US/EU "warehouses" only hold a small stock so sometimes shipping is great and even better than their estimates, other times it can be quite a bit longer as its just small bundles of stock being brought in per week to cover orders, rather than them having a warehouse full of flashcards just waiting to be confiscated

My one is shipping from China according to the US postal service. But that would make sense too. ^_^

yeah it all just depends, if they have no stock in when you order you get it from china if your lucky and they actually have them at hand in the US you get it faster, it all just depends on how much demand there has been

ofc some sites just lie and say US or EU based and ship solely from china

Yep. As far as the demand goes though we are talking about the restock of the Supercard dstwo. Which, as I'm sure you know, has been out of stock/production for a bit until now. ;)
Edit: Yep. I just assumed as much since I got the email from them. (when I placed my order on the 31st of May) their lack of spellchecking gave it away for me.

Same here, I really panicked when I saw this thread about ModChipFactory being scammers though. :S
Anyway, how long will the HK post take to arrive to the UK? Anyone had similar experiences?

I buy a lot from china and hong kong from eBay. Seem to arrive faster from HK, but it will probably be about 2 weeks on average. Equally it could be very quick (I've had things as quick as 6 days before). Think it just depends on how busy it is.

@Jayplay17 @mrbits Hey there, I've noticed that this site: http://www.ems.com.cn/english.html lets me track my order. Since my one is coming from China according to the US Postal service. The last update on that site is dispatching from sorting center on the 30th of June.
That's very interesting. Kevin from modchipfactory gave me a hongkongpost website to track my shipment but nothing appears, but that EMS china website works for me! Thanks!

& I have the same last update as yours on the same day too.

No problem! ;)
I tried my tracking number on the hongkongpost site before, but the tracking number wouldn't fit there. So I tried the Chinese one (because my tracking number has cn as the last two digits).
Also, as I'm sure you know, if it is EMS that means we will probably get our stuff sooner! ^_^ (Since EMS = Express Mail Service)

The EMS site seems to be down for me. I do recall using EMS once before to track stuff, I think from deal extreme back in the day

Looks like it was down earlier. Just checked but no activity since 30 June where it says it's still in China :/

This is my tracking status currently, is it the same?
