Re: MrModchips.com - Reviews & Comments


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 was clearly a pre-order.

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.

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.

Post this in the xecuter forums. Xecuter are suppliers to mrmodchips. They may put pressure on them to deliver to protect their own customer base.

Hopefully my bank can get my oney back as I paid with VISA Rolling Eyes

Never had a problem with them myself, but I haven't used them in a while and even when I did it was just the odd chip nothing major.

Their Thailand address:-

MrModchips
Peruksa 13
Klong Sam
Phantum Thani
Rangsit
Thailand

Their wonderful customer service:-
Personal Callers are NOT seen under any circumstances. You WILL be turned away should you chose to ignore this.

Their useless helpdesk system:-
Please Direct All Questions On All Matters Through Our Online Help Desk System

Note they simply delete/disable your account and you are *stuffed* - don't have a clue as to the status of your order as you can't even see it anymore (!)

What a lowlife criminal MrConChips is - paying by VISA, etc you have some measure against being ripped off

Have you got the full url of your post?

I've sent a Team Xecuter admin this PM:

Lets see if I get a reply.

hello.

I was just wondering if you're part of the Xecuter team or just the forum admin?

If you're a team member, I was wondering if you could look into the business dealings of Mr Mod chips. There seems to be a lot of complaints on here and one on www.nforce.nl This can't be good publicity for Your brand products as these complaints don't seem to be acted upon by Mr Modchips. Personally I would like to see him being removed as a reseller for all Team Xecuter products as he's quite clearly upto no good.

Yours Faithfully
Jennifer

Whoops - I maybe posted the msg to too many areas - I got 1 response back saying:-

"slimgrip:-
How many times u gonna post this?
Hes ripped me off, you off & countless others. Multiposting will get yr account here banned."

Kind of weird though - like he is resigned to MrConChips ripping off the entire universe ?! Doesn't make sense that Team Executor still have him on their partners list ?!

I have also submitted a report to BBC's Watchdog programme @-

I contacted my bank and they are getting their credit card section to start the paperwork - looks like they contact the org that charged my credit card "PROTX" to get my money back.

Never pay by cheque or cash !!!

Thanks for all your support and comments - especially Jenni Smile - it has put me into a good frame of mind - thank you all ! Smile

Thats sad to hear, I hope you get your money back or something.

Anyways I highly recommend http://www.divineo.cn/ for mods and stuff.

I just bought an M3 Adapter for my DS from them in their China Location, and not only did they send me a confirmation quickly. They sent it out immediately.

Of course there are a lot of other good websites. Thanks for the warning though, I now know never to buy anything from MrModchips.

Thanks Who_CareZ !

Yes Divineo is reliable - I've got stuff from them for years but went for MrConChips as he was £5 cheaper on the DS-X - sh*****t. I ended up ordering the DS-X from Divineo last week Laughing

Still the credit card company said they could "pursue" his credit company for "non-delivery of ordered goods" - so always pay by credit card Smile

@The Bug

(I like your AV)

Credit cards are good for that.

Plus if Mrmodchips keeps fucking around with peoples payments the credit cards companies won't do business with them anymore. People won't have the option of paying by credit card and they mrmod would lose a lot of money.

I am glad your getting somewhere with this. I would of lost it at the rude e-mail.

I always go for either Divineo.se or my personal favourite, chipper.se.. Smile

Chipper is THE store for this kind of things here in sweden. If you got a problem with anything you ordered from them, well just give them a call and they'll pick up the phone, answer your questions and do what they can to help you out. They haven't failed me once yet.

Best and most personal support ever.

Thanks dude! I got my AV off the wildlife scetion of the BBC website Smile

I did lose it when I got that rude email (!) I was like what the f**k Laughing I'm at that stage in life where I will not take sh*t like this - and will do everything I can to fight back.

I get a *lot* of satisfaction knowing that good people out there are reading these comments, looking at the facts and then opting to go elsewhere with their custom <BG>

Scr*w MrConChips !
