R43DS.org

I placed an order with them on March 15th, and my orders was delayed and not charged to me until March 30th. They sent an email letting me know that they delayed charging for the order because they had a new version of their product coming out, and it had not yet arrived to them from the factory. They didn't want to send out an old model to customers, when a new model was right around the corner. I asked them if there would be any extra charge or fee for this, as it was a more expensive item, but they told me that the upgrade to this new version is free. They just wanted to avoid sending any new customers the older version, that was now being replaced. My package arrived on APril 20th (yes, really that long, but it was the customs guys that took their sweet time to process the parcel) and it works just as advertised. Happy with the product, and appreciate getting a new model, for the same price as the old one.

Maybe new owners or something because the reviews below just don't make any sense. Before I bought my Sky3DS I had a bunch of questions and the longest I had to wait was 1 day for a reply and most times I was getting replies within the hour - and I sent like 8 or 9 emails in total.
Once I did order they took payment the same day and shipped the order 4 days later. Package came from Buffalo, NY and I had my Sky3DS card in 3 days. 1 Week from the day I ordered and i had the card in hand. Perhaps

They must have changed shipped methods or something because I ordered on October 10th and my Buy 1 get 1 free R4 3DS cards were in my mailbox on the 14th of October. They shipped from NY and I am extremely happy with both the product and the quick shipping. I don't know if they changed some shipping methods or they now ship from the United States, but 4 days is hell-a-fast! The cards work as advertised and I even asked them to load all the firmware files on the micro sd for me and they did just that.

I ordered some cards from them and a month later they never replied so we emailed them and never heard a word so we went to the bank trying to get our money back. They gave us their number to call and it was put 0f service so we gave up. After 1 more email to them and another week or so they replied back. Saying they apologize and don't want to see anymore emails from me with an atitude. That line was unprofessional. And that they supposedly shipped it and it says still not shipped with the tracking and order info. Nobody use their seevice.

I ended up going with this site because a friend of mine had told me about the R4 he had gotten there for his DSi way back when it first came out. I decided to get a 3DS version for my 3DS system, as I wanted to get in to playing around with homebrew and some development. I made my purchase for the r4 on July 6th, 2013 and I received it on July 23rd, 2013. The card does exactly what its advertised to do, and setup was easy, just followed the setup guide found right on this site. My experience has been nothing but positive. The only reason I am giving 4 stars is because I expected the package to arrive a lot faster than it did, but when I received it, I realized it was shipping internationally, which I guess explains why it took longer than I expected.

The customer service is the worst that I have ever seen!

I ordered a GBA card. 2 weeks went by and I have not had any information whatsoever. I used the Contact Us option on the site to ask about what was happening with the order. Another 2 weeks went by until I got a response.

The response said that the package had been lost in shipment and that in order to make up for this they were going to upgrade my order to the latest 3DS card for free and resend it! However, I did not want a 3DS card, hence why I ordered a GBA card!

They "upgraded" my order to something I did not want without my consent and now I am trying to get a refund with, lo and behold, no response...

Worst company I have ever had the displeasure of ordering from.

All their logos have been ripped off and cropped into the picture to "SEEM LEGIT" They are not legit. Responded to days late emails saying a new version was being updated and they'd send it straight after it was done. Nothing came and no message.
A majority of people posting have not received their items, they are quick to steal your money and the service they provide (If they even have one) is really not worth your money.
Overall, DO NOT PURCHASE FROM HERE! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

I too fell into the trap of this crapsite. KNOWING that I should have done my research first, I guess I deserve to get bit.

Of course my card was charged, but the kicker is the FOREIGN TRANSACTION FEE that seems to have been applied. I was under the impression that this place was here in the good ole USA. Nope...

Looks like I got hornswoggled by these fools as well...

Buyer beware.
Do your homework before you fall victim like many of us have.

Absolutely no problems with this site or the products at all. I have purchased form R43DS.org on 3 different occassions (for myself and then gifts for others) and each and every time I was greeted with friendly service, helpful sales and support staff and the products work just as advertised.

On my second order which was for a gift, I wasn't aware of a sale they had, and didn't enter in the coupon code. I didn't even have to ask them, and they discounted my order themselves before shipping it out, so I ended up saving $6. Xx off my order! Now, I don't know how other stores are, because I have not bought these products anywhere else, but I would not hesitate one little bit to tell my friends or any family members to buy from this site. I wrote a review here because working in customer support myself, I see bad reviews posted much more often than positive ones. I can only speak for my own experience on 3 different orders spread out over the course of 4 months, and each time I got what I ordered, had help when I needed it and I love the R4!

Great flash carts for the Nintendo 3DS XL. I had an old flash card for my Nintendo DS system, and I got a 3DS and wanted to be able to play my old emulators on the 3DS as well. They helped me get the right card (and it was one of the lower cost ones too that they recommended for my needs) and I could not be happier about getting the card from them. The only reason I have 4 stars is because of a delay in arrival, which seems to have been US Customs holding on to the package for no known reason, but it ended up getting released by customs and getting to me in about 17 days in total.

Let me tell you my whole story.

I purchased the r4gold on October 3,2015. I gave them updates for ten days and twenty one days out. I let them know I have not received my package and asked for updates.

They replied to me; now, I was courteous to them. I was sure I was never getting it until one day in January they replied (without me asking for more info) saying that they were going to send it out again.

My question at that time was: if they were a scam, why bother to contact me months later when I showed no signs of fighting to get my money back? I had written them off as a scam at the time.

Lo and behold I finally receive it today, February 6 2016.

They said they are based out of Canada, but it is clear they work with a dealer in China, or lying completely. The package was from China.

I almost feel I got mine because I did nothing to antagonize them. Of course this is no way to do busieness; people are frustrated. And I wonder if people dont get their packages from calling them out. They don't have the supply in Canada at all.
I will also say that the version I got is not the one I purchased. I got a plain looking r4 that does mention its from 2016. At this point, knowing it cost me 23 dollars, I am satisfied. I got something instead of nothing.

My review is only to help those who have purchased before checking them out. There is hope. Otherwise? Please stay clear of them. Guaranteeing 21 business days and taking 2 months to give anyone any kind of update is inconsiderable and not the way you should do business. Also, not giving the item purchased is just wrong.

I just hope mine works.

Some other reviews on here are accusing customers of "impatience". Now I can understand this when you refer to eBay bidders who expect their item NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW, but seriously, I ordered my item at the end of May and still nothing.

I was fed the same excuses as everyone else (supply delay of 10 days so it took them 10 days to even ship, supposedly). I waited the "7-21 working days" that they told me, it's been at least 6 weeks since then and still nothing. I've emailed them a few times and had nothing in response, and I feel stupid and ripped off, I can't believe I didn't check this out before I ordered. I dun goofed.

So take this as warning, look into each site carefully before you order. Yes, some international items can take a long time to arrive, but even being kind, there is something very suspect with this site.

I ordered a different cart from somewhere called Flashlinker, who are based in Germany. I received my cart within 5 days (I am in the EU). Looks like it's run by 1 dude who is incredibly helpful and quick to respond. Yes, you'll be suspicious if you're here already, just look it up, I found it through several different recommendations, and I just wanted to save people some time!
