I recently purchased an AK2i from shoptemp and it just came today.
I'm in France and it took 13days till I receive it (ordered on 6th, received on 19th: faster than DX).
You have to know that it doesn't came pre-flashed for 1.4 DSi firmware (not a big deal tough).

I'm pretty happy except for one thing: since the price was so low, i added a Kingston 8Go to my order and guess what ? It's a fake one from Taïwan (reals are from Japan).

So what I have to say is you can safely order from ShopTemp, prices are very competitive and shipping pretty fast for a free one but forget about micro SD cards on that site !
 
Just got my AK2i this morning after ordering on the 7th. Probably about average for how long it usually takes to get something from Hong Kong (which doesn't really reflect on ShopTemp positively or negatively as it doesnt have much to do with them). The cart is legitimate and was packed just fine. One thing to note like above is that it wasn't pre-flashed for 1.4 so be aware of that if you don't have a DS lite, phat, or pre-1.4 DSi and the means to get your hands on one just to do a quick flash. Anyway overall it was a good experience and i'll be ordering from ShopTemp again in the future.
 
I'm mostly pleased with Shoptemp. I ordered 2 Acekards, and after testing they were both definitely legit. Customer service was really helpful, and I got quick, clear responses on any days that weren't weekends (which is understandable).

However, there were a few hiccups. This might not be shoptemp's fault, but there was no notice that my shipping changed from DHL to UPS. I probably could have done my homework and seen that my area was considered "remote" to DHL (which is what I'm assuming was the reason for the change), but I never received a working tracking number because of this. To be fair, they double checked with me what my address was (which was nice), but they never explicitly said this would result in a shipping change. Also, I bundled my Acekards with MicroSD cards that never came in the mail. However, I've contacted customer service about this and hopefully I'll be refunded for those, in which case I forgive them for the mistake.

Despite my complaints, I'd definitely recommend Shoptemp, and if I need anything else I'll use them again. The positive definitely outweighed the negative.

EDIT: I just received my refund, so I'm definitely a happy camper.
 
I ordered an AK2i on the 8th with $1 shipping, and it arrived in the USA on the 15th. Talk about fast. And the card's in fine shape (and not a fake), though as others pointed out, it's not pre-flashed to 1.4.
 
Just got my 4 R4 carts today. All run WOOD fine. Only took 9 days from order date to get to me. (Sydney, Australia)

Awesome store. Will buy more items very soon.
 
Placed my order April 6th, arrived April 19th
Acecard 2i + memcard, Dragonball DSL replacement shell. Air Mail shipping.
Everything arrived in good working order in less that 2 weeks.
I would have liked to have some instructions to go with the case replacement. Perhaps a link to some online instructions on the product's ShopTemp page would be in order?
Very satisfied, will buy again!

Edit: Finished product!

Any of you guys or gals that bought R4's off of shoptemp did you recurve the USB micro sd reader with yours? I ask because on the product page it says it comes with one but I didn't get any yesterday when I opened my package (there should have been 4 ). I bought theese to give away as gifts and it kinda sucks since you need that adapter to put anything on the micro sd. I did open a support ticket this morning but have yet to hear back on it.
 
I ordered an acekard 2i. Item arrrived in two weeks from Hong Kong to Canada with free shipping. My acekard 2i is legit and works great! Its such a peace of mind now to have a reliable store for all my flash cart needs. No need to crawl all over the internet and post endless topics asking if various websites are safe

Ordered on the 6th, arrived on the 14th, stopped being lazy and picked it up from the post office today on the 21st! I went with tracking+packaging over standard post.

I ordered a Wii Nunchuk and a slim MicroSD card reader.

- The Nunchuk

This is the first time I've bought a controller from a site of this type. It arrived in a japanese nunchuk box (microsd card reader was tossed in with it of course!). The nunchuk is not an official nintendo one as noted in it's description. Outside of the buttons being labeled and a small tag at the end of the controller cable, there are no other markings/logos/model numbers that'd be on a standard nunchuk. No matter as it says Premium in it's description and not official. And that's what it is, premium. It works and feels just as good as the one I got from the store. Hell I didn't even have to fight with blister packaging so there's a plus for it!

It's a little odd as the box is rather nice and it comes with a japanese club nintendo insert with a pin. In any case, decent and half the price of what I'd pay at a store here is what I'd call it!

- microSD card reader

It works. Not much to say here. Probably will break it or lose it eventually but for a buck or two, can't go wrong.

- The Service

Much faster than I expected and while I hope I get the same speeds again with future purchases (like my SCTwo pre-order!) I certainly wouldn't hold it against ShopTemp if it took as long as the shipping option states!
I'd like to note that my tracking number did not work for a few days HOWEVER I commonly have this "issue" when shopping with a site like DX. I'm sure this simply lies in the court of Hongkong Post and it's not like it actually affected my order in any way as you can see from the time it took to arrive.
 
Ordered acekard2i w/ 8 gig mini sd yesterday. Shipped today. I'm very happy with the service thus far. I'm glad that I am able to fulfill my needs whle contributing to this incredible website at the same time. I'm surprised that gbatemp didn't come up with a shop before this.
 
I placed an order for a new DSL touch screen, Hori screen protectors, an Acekard 2i with a Kingston MicroSD and reader, and a tri-wing screwdriver, on April 12th. Order shipped and left Hong Kong and arrived here (Ontario, Canada) almost exactly a week later. That's some mighty impressive shipping time, I went with registered airmail. I have yet to test the stuff I got, and the new touch screen could have been better packaged (it was just in a taped-up cardboard 'wallet'), but so far I'm quite happy.
 
Order:
Acekard 2i + 2GB memory.

Date Ordered: April 11th.

Date Received: April 21st.

Free Shipping.

Amazing delivery time, considering I'm located in British Columbia, Canada. Was not expecting it this soon, that's for sure. And the card works perfect.
 
So now I'm a bit disappointed - turns out my 'tri-wing' is actually a Phillips head screwdriver. I can see how they messed up though, comparing what I got to the image on the site they look very similar unless you happen to look at the actual tip and label on the handle. I didn't even notice until I had the DS I was working on partially taken apart.

Now, I don't want to have to wait for Shoptemp to send me the proper screwdriver. My local Princess Auto sells security bit kits with the tri-wing bit, but I have no clue if they'll work - according to the web page they're tri-wing #1 to #4. Anyone know if those will work?
 
#1 - made another order today. there is a difference of alomost one hundred in the order numbers. shoptem seems to be busy, or it was at leasy busy in the last 24 hours!
#2 - made a slight error with a paypal address. Opened a support ticket, and got served within two hours. All is well. My issues was: I used my current address with shoptemp, but I used my old address with Paypal. Turns out it didn't matter in the end.
 
bought an acekard 2i for a really good price.

it came today... loaded up and... *drum roll

it works! pretty well! it may take some used to from switching from the stupid simple R4 interface but it works well! great job guys. thanks for the product
