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.

Order update, I received an email from them this morning saying that my order has been shipped and they also supplied me with a tracking number. At the moment this is the status

1947167563 Hong Kong - Hong Kong Dublin - Ireland, Republic Of Arrived at DHL facility in Hong Kong - Hub - Hong Kong

xxxxxxxxxx - Detailed Report

Date Time Location Service Area Checkpoint Details
December 19, 2007 15:22 Hong Kong - Hong Kong Shipment picked up

December 19, 2007 19:51 Hong Kong - Hong Kong Departed from DHL facility in Hong Kong - Hong Kong

December 19, 2007 20:26 Hong Kong - Hub - Hong Kong Arrived at DHL facility in Hong Kong - Hub - Hong Kong

I am still very hopeful of getting it by Monday at the latest. My last order from them followed a similar pattern. It left on the 8th Dec and I received it here on the 11th, so hopefully this should be the same.

ordered one yesterday from gameyeeah, got dhl tracking today, now i just hope my better half took the hints and got me one for xmas!

vibe666 · 19-12-2007 05:28PM

well, I placed my order with Volumerate (after being redirected by dealextreme to them) on the afternoon of the 3rd Decemberand even now the tracking number they gave me comes up blank on the liveshipment website, which was getting really annoying. my emails to them kept getting replied to, but just with the same copy/paste response they keep giving everyone.

BUT...

my order turned up this morning, which has cheered me up no end.

I'd been bigging up the R4DS to the lads at work, and after asking around had orders for 8 of them inc. myself (a total of 35 euro each inc. 8x 1gb MicroSD's, USB readers and shipping etc.) and yesterday I thought I was going to get lynched by the lads cos they all had them pegged for xmas pressies and they were going to have to replace them with a spot of real shopping, but now it's all good.

and before anyone asks, sorry no I didn't think to get any spares. I actually mis-counted and didn't get one for myself, but one of the lads couldn't find a DS in the shops so he doesn't need his now which worked out okay for everyone (except his missus.

).

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)

Gameyeeeah had a server issue or something so I don't think they sent any shipment notices I did not get one anyway but it arrived today ordered around the 11th

if you have your order number go here for your tracking number

http://www.gameyeeeah.com/express.htm

BTW might have 2 R4 cards and 1GB TF cards spare if anyone is still looking for one

Mr E · 19-12-2007 05:35PM

I've been checking that list every couple of days, cdebru. My order number is not on it. What was your order number? (or just the first 4 digits will do...)

Ordered my R4ds on 8th shipped on 13th sitting and waiting.

My order must have been in the same shippment as your kaisersose77 But I got it this morning 19th bit of a wait but its here. 20 euro shipping from Hong Kong to Germany to England back to Germany back to England on to Ireland and to ME. They made sure I got my money's worth

kaisersose77 · 19-12-2007 05:43PM

yep got mine aswell

pity mx2 are as slow as hell, took them about 4 days to even send my microsd! and that was a week ago

The Muppet · 19-12-2007 07:35PM

Some positive news in the psots above. My volumerate order shipped on the 12th last notice on tracking has oy leaving the sorting centre in shanghai on teh 15th , I'm hopefull that will arrive before Monday.

I have opened a paypal dispute with gameyeeeah as I have had no communication from them for the last 6 days so i dont know if that one shipped or not. If they all arrive i will have one spare at cost if anyone is let down.

cdbru pm sent re spares (belt and braces):)

just whatever it asked at the time, they havent come looking for more money from me as they did other people, its not on the dhl site yet, but i know sometimes it takes 24hrs to be updated, or hopeing it does!

evad_lhorg · 19-12-2007 10:32PM

motherfuuckers. I ordered mine on the 10th and nothin still. im gettin them asking for more shipping money but they can go knob off. ive paid full dhl shipping and im not payin more. I cant even register on their forum to complain.

Iam in the same boat as you mate. I cant get anything back off them now. I got the email loads of times asking for the 20 extra dollars but NO WAY!

Mr E · 20-12-2007 11:39AM

I got an email from them this morning (24 hours after cancelling my order) to say that "Thank you very much for your information.We confirmed and will make the shipment.Sorry to keep you waiting."

I'm saying nothing.

carbsy · 20-12-2007 12:26PM

I ordered mine from model-gadget.com in the UK (supposedly) on Dec 3rd.It didn't get shipped until Dec 12th even though they had them in stock.They also ignored all my emails which really fustrated me.It finally arrived on Tuesday thank god.

Still a long wait though for somewhere so close.Makes me wonder did they have them in stock at all and merely ordered them in to fill my order.

Anyway just a heads up for anyone contemplating ordering from them today, thinking they'll receive it before crimbo.Avoid!!

cdebru · 20-12-2007 12:38PM

Just for balance I ordered from gameyeeeah on the 11th
they shipped on the 13th
And where delivered on the 19th

No drama No emails No requests for more money No delay

I did not get a shipping confirmation email but when i checked the site it had something about a server issue and the list of tracking numbers

Lpfsox · 20-12-2007 01:41PM

good news here too - the EMS website shows my order was received in Portlaoise yesterday and the An Post site shows it out for delivery today. It should be there when I get home, yaaaayyyy.

I instigated a paypal dispute with Gameyeeah yesterday evening and got a full refund this morning, They obviously had done nothing about my order despite me sending them all the information they requested . I would have rathered if they had honoured the terms of the sale but at least I got my money back. I will never buy from them again.

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.

Thanks Ken.

Anyone else thinking of ordering an R4 card take Kendragons advice.

I ordered from Supercardsnds on the 9th Dec, and I got an email from supercardsnds yesterday telling me my order had just been shipped, they even included a pic of the parcel.... but it had arrived two days before

Hows that for fast delivery.

According to DHL website, mine touched down in Dublin airport 10 mins ago. Happy days, I should have mine later on today. Thats 2 excellent experiences I have had with gameyeeeeah. Less than 3 days from Hong Kong. Thats an excellent service.

Yes but their price has skyrocketed lately. Ordered one a month ago with the 2GB card and it was €45 approx with EMS shipping. The same costs €75.84 today.

machiavellianme · 21-12-2007 12:16PM

Just got this from volumerate after I sent 8 emails (7 were not repsonded to) regarding my order placed 28 November. Some people posted here about ordering after this date and have already had theirs shipped, so I was quite annoyed. Their quoted 3 day lead time should not have become a 23 day lead time

well I spoke too soon, no sign of my parcel yesterday and An Post's site still shows it as "out for delivery"; so I'm assuming that it's in the back of a van somewhere driving around Dublin. Maybe it'll get delivered today.

Aquos76 · 21-12-2007 12:38PM

My 3 just arrived from Gameyeeeah:D

Left HK on Wed evening, here in Waterford this morning. Thats some service.
