dear

i am in the same situation i order my R4 last week money was taken but no goods have arrived, i feel the same, disappointed and angry towards model gadget for no communication. but as i have seen the back order seems to have started around 5th december and it seems to be the same on all R4 sites.

so i think we should just pray that we get these R4 asap and before xmas. if rustys order has been dispatched the maybe he has had a batch of R4 deliverd.

i guess im going to wait another week to see what happens, as he really doesnt want to communicate with us, and then i will take this further.

can some on email me his phone number and personal email if u have it????

Ok maybe some good news at last - I think I posted on page 3 that I ordered an M3 and 2Gb card on the 21st November and to date had no successfull contact with Model Gadget, besides the 1 automated we are very busy at this time of year blah blah blah. well my pateince snapped late last week and I sent one last e mail before threatening to contact visa and Surrey trading stds with a Monday deadline. On Monday my order finally showed up in my account and even marked as dispatched and today the m3 and card arrived.
Hope this is a sign that things are begining to get sorted with this company and people will start receiving their orders - shame really as uptil a couple of weeks ago there reputation was quite good.

Point to emphasise is indicate that you have been messed around long enough - set a deadline and state what action you are going to take ie STS and credit card company refunds.

Hope this reasures most on this thread that the company is still functioning but appears to need the right pressure applied.

Still no sign of my 2G SD cards yet...but no surprises there. No reply to any emails either.

Interesting to see some of you are still waiting on R4's. I got the ones I ordered on 3rd December - it took a whole week but they did arrive.

If you want to stop m-g getting your cash you can ring your credit card company and state you want to dispute a transaction, saying its for "non-receipt of goods" and how much for. At the very least you won't have to pay interest on the transaction until the dispute is fully resolved. It may take a few months but your Credit card company will take it on, firstly by charging it back to m-g, who then have 45-60 days to formally reply. No reply means they accept the charge-back, wiping it off your bill.

Hi
Just thought I'd post about this site too - Ordered on the 6th December for a Ps2 slide tool... got a confirmation email on the same day. A week later, I haven't received anything and I've sent the guy about 3 emails with no reply whatsoever.

Any advice as to what I should do?

People - stay away from this seller and his website!

I ordered 2x R4 cards on the 30th of November. This was a Friday.

There was a note on the website to say that because of the busy Xmas period, orders would be shipping out within 3-5 days. I got an email on the monday (3rd) to say that it had dispatched. I was expecting it to arrive on the Tuesday due to it being special delivery. It didn't turn up.

The order arrived on Wednesday 5th December by Special Delivery - it obviously hadn't been posted out until the Tuesday, the order system had been updated on the Monday to say the order had been dispatched.

I was very impressed with the cards and ordered two more for family on Thursday 6th December, I'm still waiting now.

I've sent an email or two to make sure that because I'd ordered the same thing twice he didn't think it was a duplicate order, hadn't heard anything back and came across this thread posted into one of the item reviews on the website itself.

I'm a little worried but having had recieved my intial order I'm sure nothing untoward is going on - he's probably doing this as a business on the side rather than his day job and is inundated with orders due to it coming up to Xmas. Crap communication - yes. Do I think he's done a runner? No.

I don't know whether I'll see these two cards before Xmas, which is a shame as they would have been ideal presents and I've already got the 2GB cards from somewhere else all ready to go.

The R4 DS is now listed on the site as being on Back Order, most places seem to have the same status. I'm trying to find somewhere that has them in stock for a not-too extortionate price. As soon as I do I'll post details up here.

Hang in there folks, I'm sure it'll be fine :-)

Hi I ordered 4 r4,s on the 6th of december my order saysit has been processed products to arrive in 3 to 5 days ,as I keep looking into the website Im was anxious about my order as hes getting a lot of bad reviews know from other buyers I clicked on a link and got this forum .
Ive tried email/phone/skype but no reply to any of them .
So I contacted consumers advice and they have taken all my details etc and they are getting in touch with Surrey Trading standards.
I only hope we will all get our items or is this going to be Model Gagdets year same as the Farepack hamper fiasco of 2006
Will keep you informed bye Isobell

The perfect M3 bundle is better than the rumble one isn't it?

It comes with the rumble pack and the GBA adapter, so you've saved a few quid?

I've ordered an M3 perfect from consoleup, hopefully I'll have a better experience with them.

Yeah I've got a supercard and an old passme 1.5 thingy that stuck out of the end that you had to have an original DS game on. I'd rather use the M3, get an SDHC card and have everything on the same card :)

Hi Guys Just like you Ive been duped, I ordered M3 Ds on 22nd Nov and didn't even recieve a conformation e-mail the money was taken 24th Nov after paying next day delivery. I have sent over 20 e-mails I have used this site numerous times with no problems however I believe somethings going on. I feel awful as I ordered it on behalf of my friend who hasn't got a lot for her autistic so I feel I should offer her the money as I am devistated what can I do does anyone think hes done a runner. 21 days seems a long time to wait I know some are getting their stuff is it just the M3DS that are missing any advise guys im desperate.

I honestly don't think he's done a runner, but I think theres a shortage of R4's at the moment and we'll struggle to get them before Xmas.

The guy is obviously getting hundreds of emails a day and is choosing to ignore them rather than dealing with them.

I'm not too worried, I might not get them for Xmas, but I know I'll get them.

That gives me a little hope only I ordered 2 days before that and I never got a confirmation e-mail or a account no so I cant even check tracking of goods all I know is he has the money from world pay.

Were do you think I stand in the e-mails I keep having to put buyers name and my delivery address.

Thanx Maria

Hi,I also ordered 4 R4DS cards on the 8th/dec and my account order says i have ordered nothing but £156 was taken from my bank via worldpay.
I have noticed he has edited his website and took all the bad comments out under reviews and has also stopped taking anymore orders of the R4DS.So it seems he is trying to sort it out hopefully.
