Ordered in March 2021, it's now August. Items never received. No responses to email or messages through the webpage. Complete scammers
UPDATE March, 2017: I have now ordered from them 2 more times and each time they delivered exactly what was ordered. Looks like they use a new shipping method too, as it came both time via ePacket, and took about 8-10 days to arrive for both of the orders. Would recommend this shop to anyone (and have!)
I'm Pleased to say I had a very good experience with R4 3DS. I was really very worried after placing my order and then stumbling on this site here with the reviews. It had been about 2-3 weeks since I placed my order, and the status was not updated on my order at all.
I contacted them and they informed me that the order was on the way but that they were unable to update all of the order statuses at the time of shipment for some upgrade reason (sorry, I'm not a techie). I waited another week and nothing, then was contemplating disputing the order. But the very next day my R4 arrived with the mail man at the door. People (including myself) have to be a little bit more patient. I normally do not order from web sites internationally but can say this this experience was good, and other than it taking a bit longer to arrive than I would have liked, it DID arrive and the R4 is every bit as good as they state it is on the store page.
I think we forget that it takes time for packages to come in the mail and if it is coming internationally then it will take a little bit longer to arrive.
Beware of this website, I ordered an R$ card for my son two weeks ago and it is still "Awaiting Shipment", I can't find any information on them in google either
r43ds.org is a scam site. They gladly took my money and didn't deliver. As it turns out, no one who has ordered from them has ever received anything.
YOU WILL GET YOUR ORDER, IT TAKES TIME AND PATIENCE...(I ordered 2 R43DS cards, one for me and one for my wife, I ORDERED JULY 13th and I received them both on SEPT. 28th - a long wait, but they arrived!) The truth is most people do not come back to these sites to change their negative review once they receive their card, they are babies who want things that are hard to make/get right away or they cry about it. People need to understand that the R43DS requires firmware updates that continuously evolve and are addressed by R43DS.ORG, however time takes time... THIS IS NOT AMAZON, YOU CAN NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT IN A STORE LIKE TOYS R US OR GAMESTOP, it is a cart that opens your 3DS to utilize all sorts of shareware and freeware, I love drawing on mine now using Phidias and Colors! This card is worth the wait AND THE SITE IS NOT A SCAM, IT IS LEGIT!
Same story as all the others. Wish I had read the reviews here first. Gonna try a charge back. Where is the 0 stars option?
The shipping as described by others earlier is a bit slow, but they are friendly and helpful. The product is first class, works great.
Experienced sucked erased my sign in so i can't review my order status. Den of theives and liars. Stay away
I ordered a product in June - it's now September and I have not received my product. Absolutely outrageous - do not purchase from this website!
http://www.r43ds.org/ took payment and received nothing... had to claim back payment... scam artist, wish i had read about the company first.
Never got my card, they never answer my emails... DONT BUY ANYTHING TO THESE PEOPLE...
How can a file a report on them with the police? Somebody got to do something... where are them?
Wish I had found this site before ordering. Took my money, still says 'awaiting shipping'. Emailed 4 times, no response. KEEP AWAY FROM THESE B******S
How long does it take before payment is finally received? I've ordered from other sites and payment is received within 2 minutes!
Great price and excellent communication. Any queries I had were answered quickly and resolved. The cards I got work great and kids are happy.
Took my credit card payment immediately, then order said "awaiting shipment" for over a month. I contacted them numerous times, and got no response.
I put my order on June 3rd 2017 I receive in my united state mailbox 6/18. I am happy with the r43ds site
Basic summary (TL; DR): They are legit, but it takes forever to get your purchase. I would not recommend you buying from them, but if you are like me and already have, you will have to wait a few weeks, even months, to get your package. Or you can just get your money back through your bank. Just know that they are not scammers.
So, I ordered my bundle of r4 cards (3 total) sometime in late September 2015. I got all 3 r4s for just less than $30. It was a steal, so I got it. I happily placed my order and waited patiently for it for a few weeks. After a few weeks, I was wondering where my r4s were, and I decided to leave them a message asking when they'd arrive, and if there was a delay, to at least let me know. However, no response. After looking online, Many people stated that they were a scam, but there were some who actually got their orders, though it was received very late. I had come to terms with my stupid purchase, though it was my fault for not researching earlier, so I let it go this once.
After a few months, it had completely slipped my mind that I even ordered them, but one day, after sorting through my emails, I noticed that I actually got an email from them stating that my purchase was now being shipped and on the way. I was surprised to see that they even got back to me, but I figure it wouldn't arrive anyway, so I just got rid of the message.
However, today, 2/9/2016, I received my package in the mail. And personally, I am relieved that they are not scammers. It just takes a long time to get the package through customs and such. They are legit, but it is a GRUELINGLY slow process that I wouldn't recommend going through.
UPDATE (2/14/2016): The product is legitimate, as well. I ordered in 2015, but received the legit 2016 version. So if you were worried about quality of product, it is the real deal.
Answer: Although they say local and they do have small offices in other places, it actually ships from China.
Answer: I don't know mate, I'm waiting 3 weeks too.
Answer: I ordered from the. Org site at least 6 months ago, and never received the item. I chased them several times and with no luck, despite them responding to cite production problems. It's a lost cause, try and claim the money back from your credit card.
Answer: I ordered some things from them over 3 or 4 months ago. After all these false claims of sending it it eventually came from china. We got the bank involved at one point. They have some of the worst customer service I've ever experienced and they gave every excuse you could imagine of why they don't answer. You can go to the bank and they will get your money back for you if you don't think you'll receive the item. But maybe you will get lucky like I did and they'll eventually send it.
Answer: I bombarded them with emails but they did respond. They send the chip from overseas and sometimes they get held up in customs but they did keep responding and even stated if I didn't receive my chip by a certain date they would track it themselves and also send out another chip. I received it as stated and was very pleased with my chip. This chip is no longer available in the US so it comes from Hong Kong that is why it takes so long plus they have a parent company callediComBuy. I texted with a representative named Jim and it was R43DS.org
