Order #23712 (PreOrder)
Order Date: Friday 03 November, 2006 Order Total: £80.48
Products
1 x DS-XTREME 4Gb £74.99
1 x USB Power Charge Cable For NDS Lite £2.99


I ordered the DS-X 4Gb cart on 3rd Nov and the MrModChips website clearly had it down as "available" and "in stock".
Then a few days later it changed to "pre-order".

On the 6th Nov they took payment from my bank account.
The item went through 2 cycles of being in stock and preorder over the next 2 weeks.

2 weeks after placing the order I used their helpdesk system to enquire as to why I had not received the item.
I got a very abusive message back saying it had been a "pre-order":-


"You should try reading information on the front page

http://www.mrmodchips.co.uk/catalog/news.php?news_id=99

Before makign stupid assumptions and making an idiot of yourself.

Also as taken from the shipping and returns page which again you have decided not to bother reading."


I messaged back saying when I had placed the initial order it was stated as being "in stock".
At this point the criminals who run this site disabled my account so I couldn't (A) enquire anymore & (B) even see my order.

This site is run by criminals and I am in contact with my bank, PROTX & Trading Standards to bring a prosecution against them.

The MrModChips site is not even in the UK but in Thailand.

I'm not alone - I have googled for MrModChips and found *loads* of complaints/rip-offs/abuse & racist comments by them:-

In 6 years of ordering goods on-line this is the first negative experience I have had - the lesson is to avoid the smaller & cheaper outlets and go for established names like Divineo, etc.

Thanks for the info, sorry dude. It always sucks to get ripped off. So are they still going to send it or refund you? Or are they just like screw you were going to keep your money?
