Ordered an R4 with 2Gig card from gameyeeeah.com on Friday 30th Nov. No dispatch information yet...

I ordered from them on Sunday and got a dispatch email on monday. I used DHL option. Hopefully will have them tomorrow or friday.

A word of warning if anyone is ordering the memory cards from MX2.co.uk,
order placed a week ago and it's still showing as 'promised'.
This means it hasn't even left their warehouse! Look elsewhere is my advice.

rgiller

That's my experience of MX2 as well: slow as **** and bad communications. Maybe play.com is a better option...

mise

Ordered a M3 off supercards yesterday, as the R4 were sold out. Choose EMS, has been shipped and all... just hopefully nothing goes wrong so i can have it before xmas

kendragon

I'm amazed. I and a few other posters have posted comments on how we ordered the R4 from Supercardsnds and received the order in only a couple of days yet loads of you still insist on using other vendors and complain that they are takin an age to arrive. I mean i'm all for free choice and everything but surely you would go with the people who are having the least hassle as being a good option.

Use dvd.co.uk, i would rate their service as excellent. Very fast dispatch and shipping.

FWIW, never had a problem with anything I've ordered from them and they have usually been the cheapest (with free shipping) for 2GB MicroSD cards.

My last order for this type of memory card:

Ordered 27th Nov, Shipped 3rd, arrived today. Not too bad, but caveat emptor 'n all that! Maybe they're suffering from the www.boards.ie flock of bargain-hunters effect!!

Gran Hermano

Cheers Doodlebug, they replied to my mail this morn and advised the item was out of stock when I placed my order on 29/11 but they hoped to get it
shipped shortly. Historically I ordered memory cards from 7dayshop, but
we all know what they did with their shipping charges! Glad to hear mx2
are normally fine.

Facks sake!

My order with Volumerate didn't seem to be moving and I worried that it wouldn't be here in time for Xmas. I emailed Gameyeeeah to verify they had stock before I ordered, they said they had. I ordered with DHL delivery and got a mail saying I would have it in 3 - 5 business days. Today I got a mail with my order status, all it says is payment received.

I'm beginning to think I'll have a disappointed niece on Xmas day and two R4s sometime in January.

I was back on to Gameyeeeah and they now have stock in again. I ordered on Sunday gone with DHL shipping also.

Here's a reply to an email I sent them,

Postie tried to deliver my R4 today but I was asleep. Gotta wait until monday now to get it.

Ordered a week ago and got in touch with volumerate yesterday as the status has been Collecting Products Now (via EMS Express) for 7 days
now. Asked them Are the products in stock as I need them for Christmas?

Alas I got this garbled email today



"And the R4 is in limited quantity supply and we received them from time to

time, so we will have to arrange the shipping accordingly, so we will not sure

whether you can receive that Xmas or not. If you can not wait, then please

inform us, so we can cancel and full refund you the order. And the processing

time for the refund is around a week.

Sincerely,

Susan"

Am going to keep my fingers crossed... Will give my R4 away for Xmas if it doesn't come in time.

This looks the whole job lads, some great tips and advice. I ordered from Gameyeeeah today. I used DHL option. Hopefully will have it soon, tks all.

cathy01

ok, Ive ordered from MX2 :CARD
Voluerate :R4
Is there any where else that should hve them in time for Dec 24.
cathy

vibe666

6 days now and there's still no sign of mine (8 of the blody things) being shipped from volumerate. gonna be looking for a refund and an alternative stockist at this rate in the next 24 hours. who's the best people to get them off now? gameyeeah?

Aquos76

8 of them aye, will you get caught for tax on that amount?

gilga

vibe666,

You can expect to wait a while with all these sites especially at Christmas. Ordered a R4 from volumerate on the 26/11 and it has been shipped, should get it this week. Also ordered a 2GB microSD from Mx2, it should be here monday/tuesday (they had been out of stock).

Patience is a bitch but at least good things come to those who wait.

I'm off to eat a karma pie and get drunk now.

i expect to wait the time advertised on their website or they will be losing out on over $400 of business, end of story.

I have no problem with them giving lead times, whether it be 2-3 days or 2-3 weeks, but I expect it to be what they say it is going to be.

what I don't expect is for a company to flat out lie about delivery times to reel people in and take their money with no intention of honoring them.

they know nobody is going to order off them if they were to be honest about such long waiting times, so they bullsh*t everyone into paying up and then force them to wait.

they have till tomorrow or I cancel my order and go elsewhere, end of story.

Addict Supplies have M3 cartridges for DS lite in. Fairly speedy at delivery.

My 29/11 order with volumerate is still showing as "in assembly", as it has for the past week. On the upside, my DHL order from gameyeeeah has shipped since being placed three days ago.

Bottom line: if ya need it for Xmas, don't bother with volumerate. If ya need it cheap, don't bother with anyone but volumerate. R4 and a 1GB card is €50 delivered in time for christmas or $50 delivered whenever.

Off topic, but has anyone else noticed that in spite of all the claims that "we aren't allowed sell R4s anymore so we pass any enquiries onto volumerate, who are a completely seperate entity and nothing to do with us", when you first get onto volumerate.com the address bar has the DX icon in it?

so i want to get this whole package for my gf for christmas, sd card, usb stick, card and whatever else is needed to play "backups" on the ds what am I looking at paying and who should I be buying off

cathy01

Got word from MX2 my card is in the post.YIPPPPEEE.Now all I need is the R4.Cathy

Aquos76

My R4's according to the tracking number that gameyeeeah gave me, lshould be with me tomorrow

Aquos76

Mine arrived today from gameyeeeah. Happy days!

Qwerty?

I ordered off www.supercardnds.com on Sunday, it was shipped today. Total including 3-6 day shipping was $65. (€45.52)

Also ordered a micro SD card off Dabs.ie (€20) which was shipped yesterday, so should have both for Xmas I think:D.

What does one do next?:rolleyes:

I Ordered 4 on the 27th November from Dealextreme EMS Delivery,they arrived today.Took long enough but in all fairness they were with postal services over there on the 30th to be sent to Ireland.

Is anyone planning to get more cards in future? I may be able to pick some up when travelling to Asia. I will be back in Ireland after christmas. If anyone is interested PM for more info.

Ordered 11 Nov, despatched 21st Nov and arrived today from Volumrate by EMS

Ivan

Ugh, thats discouraging. I ordered 24th Nov and am hoping to get them by Christmas

kaisersose77

Ordered one from gameyeah at the weekend, got an an email on Monday saying it was in preparation for shipping and site has being down most of the time since. Cant even log into their site when its working, says my email address doesnt exist! Stay away from them! Gonna contact my credit card company tomorrow if theres no change.

Mr E

They had a server crash (site is working fine now)

Due to the server malfunction,we lose some of the data.We are now trying our best to resume it.The data before OCT.17TH has been resumed and we are keeping doing the job.If you have difficulty in log in or finding your order record,please don't worry about it,we are exerting ourselves to resume the data.You still can place order through our website and we will process it.We are sorry that you couldn't use the coupon discount temporarily.Sorry about all the inconvenience.

Picked mine up from the post office yesterday. This thing is great! A serious must-have for anyone with a DS.

The delay was due to them running out of stock. I ordered my on Sunday 2nd Dec and I also got mine yesterday, however if you look at the tracking info, it was only picked up in Hong Kong on Saturday the 8th and I had it by the 11th, now thats some service.

The site is not working fine . I ordered two r4 cards on monday last and there is no record of my account on the site since the crash. Luckily i have the email confirmation I recieved at the time of placing my order. I have emailed them to advise them of my situation. Anyone else in the same boat may want to do the same.

Dont' have records when i log in either, but if you look at the description of the card(bout half way don the page) it has a link where you type in your order number and Sir name to get status. Ordered mine 26th of Nov and arrived in ireland today. Not as smooth running as with dealextreme though

The site is fine, but some orders are missing. I ordered one on Sunday, and the order is also gone. They are working on restoring the lost orders. Have a little faith....

Ordered mine from Volumerate on 29/11, still showing status as 'Collecting Products Now'. I lost hope that I will get it before Christmas.

This is my first purchase from Gameyeaah (monday last), My newly created account is gone. There may not have been a backup between me placing my order and the system crash.

Faith is one thing blind optimism is another, Why have they only restored to mid october? do they not have more recent backups? I have a bad feeling about this one, I hope I'm wrong .

Mr E

Yeah, I'm sitting in their office in Hong Kong right now. :rolleyes:

I've used gameyeeeah twice before, no problems. Believe me - I'm not happy about the crash either - if something doesn't happen to restore my faith in the next 24 hours, I'll be cancelling my order too.
