edit: item sent so at least their trying to fix things

Mr E

I got an email from them this morning.

On the plus side, they have recovered my order (even though its not showing in the control panel yet). On the negative side, they said that DHL regarded my address (Limerick) as a remote location, and wanted an extra $20!!

I paid (its about €13) because I want this before Christmas, but I won't be going back.

If you check their forums, they have posted details regarding all orders before 11th Dec when their server crashed...

R4 arrived today , ordered 26th Nov.

Nice wait, but glad it's finally here.

According to the Gameyeeeah website, all orders made by noon 11/12/07 (US time) have been shipped. I ordered my R4DS early on 10/12/07 and its one of the last numbers shipped.
Here's a link to the list of shipping numbers for each order outstanding http://www.gameyeeeah.com/express.htm

Mine shipped today and is currently in the dhl facility in Hong Kong so hopefully will be here next week. Hope this helps others.

This has been a great thread to read - just a shame volumerate turned out to be a bit hopeless - I've one ordered there as well that went from "waiting for collection" back to "in assembly" over the space of a week. Didn't bother cancelling the order just in case they get their act together! :-))

A bit off-topic but if anyone is still looking for ds lite for Christmas, I can't recommend www.videogamesplus.ca highly enough. I bought a Crimson and black one yesterday with DHL shipping for about €125. They're due more stock tomorrow and DHL deliver in about 3 days from Canada. AThe crimson and black ds lites are muy cool!
slan,
cunstunt.

looks like volumerate have finally decided to stop lying to people about their "3 day" lead time before shipping.

looks what's up on their website now.

The Reason You Cannot Buy R4 Now and Solution

We are now decide to hold all R4 sales all together due to the all in a sudden supply shortage.

This shortage came quite suddenly because we receives 1 to 2 shipments from the R4 team each week and it was only after 2 missed shipments that we were officially told it's in shortage (after inquiries).

We have to hold from taking new orders so that existing orders can be fulfilled in the quickest manner. The R4 team is making steady supplies but the quantity still fluctuates, therefore we cannot give a definitive date as to shipment. If you need it by Christmas or not, if you may either choose to wait, or to request for a full refund by sending us an email at http://www.volumerate.com/accounts/cancelorder.vr . Please allow us 3 business days for the refund due to the large amount of requests for the cancellation.

To track your current order status for R4, please go to http://www.liveshipment.com/customers/ with your order number. (The order number which is started with letter "Q")

i wonder how long it will be before they fulfill their backorders.

Mr.E do you work for gameyeah?

How could anyone have faith in a company that loses all their database information for the last 2 months which is every order they have at the moment, dont reply to posts on their forum and seem to have unsecure web pages?

They also say they have stock when they dont

We do have large quantity in stock and all the post in our forum are replied.And all the missing order is making up through email.Site is going back to order and the item order today will ship out the same day.Anyway,thank you for your advice.

I posted on their forum and recieved a reply. Unfortunately my order (order number 16015) is one of those that was lost in the crash. They have asked me to email the details of my order confirmation to them which I have done.


To be fair Gameyeahh do appear to be trying to sort out their Problems. I am more optimistic now than I was earlier this week.

kaisersose77

Yep they do seem to be trying to do their best to fix the problems so I've deleted any bad mouthing posts made by myself

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?

I have this on mine order still from volumerate:
11/30/2007 12:28:24 AM Collecting Products Now
That date is almost 2 weeks. I sent them an email yesterday but no reply yet.
I paid $20 for EMS shipping...

Don't know what to do now...

[edit] Update:
Although the site still says Collecting Products now, the link http://www.liveshipment.com/customers (enter in my order number and last name) says that it has been shipped and I can now track it on EMS.
Perhaps sending the email yesterday made the difference

[/edit]

TwistsAndTurns

Gameyeeeah tracking no's for orders from 14664 to 15761 are now up on their site. Ordered my R4ds on 8th shipped on 13th sitting and waiting.

ordered of volumerate the 26th of Nov. Upgraded shipping and arrived yesterday. Anyone looking for Xmas should look elsewhere. No chance with these guys now

Cheeky f**ker... its being delivered to my work address in Castletroy.

Qwerty?

I ordered last sunday from supercardnds, and it arrived this morning. Pity dabs.ie delivery service wasn't as fast and I'd have my mirco sd card.

Thanks for advice.

Volumerate update: ( They be crazy folk)

On Volumerate it still says collecting package by ems as it has for 2 weeks and gives me an invoice number Q....

On the Live Shipment link with my invoice number Q.... it says SHIPPED And gives me an EMS tracking number.

However my tracking number is not recognised on the EMS site
If I get these by the 23rd ( Am xmasing in the uk) I will be stunned.

gerrykiddy

This may sound obvious so dont get annoyed as I am only trying to help.
My package from them had a tracking number that appeared on the An Post site 12 hours before the delivery.
A tracking number is always made up as follows 2 letters /some numbers/2 letters. Altogether there are no more than 13 letters/numbers.
If you are getting no response from the Honk Kong Postal then your parcel is unlikely to have been sent.

Hope this helps

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

M3 card and 4gb SD card arrived yesterday. As I said great customer service, any emailed questions usually back less than a day and thats pretty quick delivery. Thats my fifth order from Addict Supplies and no disappointments.

Petey2006

I ordered an R4 on the 10th. About 11am here in Dublin. I've gotten no shipping number, one reply from gameyeeeah asking me for my order number, shipping and payment details and what have you. I replied to this email, TWICE, checked my PayPal account and the money's been taken and i've heard squat since. I'm beginning to get a little irked!

OK, Gameyeeeah are losing me as a customer. After getting their request for extra money for DHL last Thursday, I paid it immediately because I wanted it for Christmas. Now I got the exact same email from them this morning (DHL looking for an extra $20). Muppets. I won't get this before Christmas now.

Thanks for the offer Paul (and the attempted gazumping, Cathy... cheeky cow...:)), but it was an M3 Real I ordered.

Its no biggie, I'll just give my own R4 as part of the present (the DS is the main gift), and I'll go without for Christmas....

Great post, fair play, saves alot of trolling!

I have used Gameyeeeah and found them great. I have since ordered 3 more r4 cartridges and 3 1gb cards for a total price of €115 including DHL shipping. Thats a good price. I ordered those 3 on friday and they were shipped today.

with respect aquos the true test of a company is their customer service when there is a problem and unfortuantely from my experience gameyeeah is severly lacking in this department.

I ordered two cards on the 11th of december with express shipping and as far as I know they have not shipped yet. I say as far as I know because despite posting on their own forum and sending them emails with all the information they requested I have had no communication from them for 3 days now.

I understand they had a server crash but that was a full week ago now.They should have had everything sorted out by now.

IMO if anyone is ordering from Gameyeeeah they better hope all goes well because if there is a problem they will be in for some headaches. In these days of choice on the internet there are other options you can use to avoid the hassle of potentially having to deal with a company with zero customer service. I will never use their service again.

Muppet, I guess my first order went so smoothly, I have not had the need to deal with them on that one.

However, I did order 3 more on Friday and I paid them through paypal, but yet when i logged into my account with them, there was no record of my order. I send them an email late on friday and I replied to them on Saturday morning. There was a mail in my inbox from them this morning saying my order was now put through and would be sent out later today.

So far, my experiences have been fine but from reading on here and also on their own forums, there are quite a few who have had problems.

cathy01

eh no I didnt try and gisup or what ever you call it.I did say if you wheren't going to buy it I would.Come on, its Christmas I have an 11 year old looking forward to games etc from the big man.
Its not like I elbowed you out of the way in a Q at TESCO.
No, I said if you dint want it.I have, or should have a card.If I dont get an R4 and do get the card you can bet I will post it hear and offer it to a person that needs it.To see I am for real look at the post I put up hours ago for a WII.
Honeslty,
heres to Dec 25 ,12..am when its all over.
PS Does anyone know anyone looking for a Left kidney in exchange for a ROBOT BOY doll.???

Aquos76, let us know how the new order works out for you. Did you get a tracking number yet? I ask because some users on their website claim gameyeeah have cancelled orders placed after the 11th and issued refunds. It's just one big mess at the moment.

evad_lhorg

gameyeeeah are trying to scam me out of another 20dollars too. I have ordered off them before and it has been fine but im demanding a refund now.

Hi Kaisersose,
Did you get any reason for the delay from DHL?
My gameyeeeah order has the exact same tracking details as yours.
I'm going to try and ring them now but it took a couple of hours to get someone yesterday who told me he couldn't do anything until today (the website didn't even show that it had gone back thru Germany at that stage).
In fairness to DHL, I got a crimson ds lite from VG+ in Canada that was shipped on 14th and arrived at the door yesterday morning (17th) so hopefully its just a (Christmas) gremlin!

slan for now,
cunstunt

Hi folks

Hoping someone can give me a bit of reassurance - I ordered a second R4 kit from dealextreme via EMS on 28/11 which I can track as far as Beijing on the EMS website. Last update on that site says it left Beijing's sorting centre on 09/12.

What happens now? No sign of the tracking number listed on the An Post website, does this mean that my parcel is in a depot somewhere or in transit or what?

How long does EMS shipping usually take?

For info, I ordered the first kit on 21/11 and was sent by standard air mail and was received on 12/12.

Am hoping to get it for Christmas (it's a present) - any advice folks?

Thanks,

Lucky you. I ordered one the same day (28/11) and its still in assembly (for the 5th time). It should come this week, otherwise, theres not much you can do now anyway but wait. Most other sites wont have it here in time.

Lpfsox

thanks for the reply - just getting anxious now because it's so close to Christmas. Hopefully it'll turn up this week.

brightkane

how long did it take gameyeeeah to go from the below to actual shipping for people?

You are lucky. I ordered my R4DS from Volumerate, which is DealExteme's sister company, on 29/11 by a standard airmail. My order status still shows 'In Assembly'.

Mine took about 4 weeks from Volume rate, I emailed them about waiting time and they got back to me straight away, have no problem recommending them, stuff works great

Mr E

I just sent my last email to those donkeys in gameyeeeah with all my order details.
If I don't have a shipment notice when I wake up, I'm cancelling.
(Wish me luck cancelling an order that doesn't exist in their system)

The Muppet

Me too. I think the best way to recoup the payment may be through paypal or direclt from the credit crd sompany. I don't fancy having to deal with gameyeeeah any more.


On the subject of volumerate I also ordered from them (gameyeaah was my backup plan) and their communications is very good. My order shipped from there last week it is showing the same infomation as the one posted above. I'm hopeful that I will have it by christmas.

cunstunt

I ordered from Gameyeeeah on the 10th and its finally going to be delivered by DHL today.
I've no problems with gameyeeeah - I was probably lucky that I placed my order just before their "crash" and they answered my e-mails quickly enough (<1 day) but DHL had the package in East Midlands on saturday and sent it back to Germany for some reason. Finally arrived in Dublin this morning.
I'm presuming Kaisersose's R4DS was on the same shipment as mine, but you never know with DHL.

Just relieved to be getting it and have a play!
It's been a hairy time trying to get these for Christmas but I gotta say thanks to the OP as I'd never have heard about the r4ds and what it can do without Boards.ie!

slan for now,
cunstunt

Mr E

Ugh... the last 2 emails I sent to gamenooooooo were ignored completely.
Time to get my money back, wish me luck.

Muppet: I don't know if the CC company can help as the money went through an intermediary (paypal). I'l need to do a bit of research.
