Bought an R4 from them a few weeks ago. Soon after, the site blocked Australia (due to a DoS attack) so I couldn't track my order. It arrived after 12 days, and the site went back up again.

Coincidence? Conspiracy? I dunno.

A few days after the package arrived I received an email to make sure everything was okay. I would buy from them again, but I don't know if I can trust them with orders over a few hundred dollars.

I ordered an R4 along with a 1GB MicroSD card and an EZflash 3-in-1. The package arrived after 12 days here in Germany.

They had marked the package as a gift on the customs form and declared that a "flashlight" would be inside. Some might argue that this practise might get you into trouble but I personally prefer it over going to my customs office. ;)

Also noticeable: Standard shipping is free.

I ordered a M3 DS Simply and a 2GB Micro SD Card. It got shipped from Hong Kong to Canada in 10 days. They have free shipping on all orders and they make you sign for it. Dealextreme is awesome! I would totally order again!

i got that 128Mbit Fire Linker card for $9.21 w/ free shipping. Took a lil bit of time, I can't remember... but it was fun hacking, and I got my NDSL to flash it using a modified GBAldr. I like the layout of the site, the support team does their very best at answering questions and of course THE PRICES CANNOT BE BEAT! :)

I bought a 3in1 for 19.47USD. The shipping was free so it took about 2 weeks to arrive at my door step.

Great prices. I would buy from them again.

I ordered a DS Fire (2GB) flash cart and linker from them, and although it took them a couple of weeks for them to get a new batch from their supplier, they did a great job of keeping me up to date on the status, and once it WAS in, they shipped it right away.

Once shipped, I was shocked to see it arrive at my house in Southern Califiornia only two days later.


I would absolutely buy from them again, as I feel that they are reliable, even if they are a little slow in their supply chain for the particular item that I wanted.

I just ran into this site and I'm a little skeptical. For there to be free shipping on items that cost barely anything seems weird. The prices are great and even if some of the stuff is off-brand or what not, you can't beat those prices for many situations.

I have a feeling many things there are bootleg-type things though...but for electronics, if they work and don't blow up, I think they would be fine (Figure bootlegs are what really bug me, as I collect them and the bootlegs are really hurting the figure market....completely different topic though).

Anyone have any comments?

It looks like the kind of cheap non-branded stuff you'd find at a cheap chinese electronics market. That being said, I they fulfilled and shipped my order fairly quickly, and everything worked fine.

Ordered a DS flash card on the 6th of July. Arrived on the 14th (6 working days from Hong Kong).

Will buy from again.

ordered a dstt, an efa linker 512Mb and a white replacement shell for my ds phat, the price is just wonderfull, everything came in 10days. but unfortunately the white shell had one of the hinge part was shatered. I just took a picture of the defect part, send it trough the RMA system of DX and they send me a new one the next morning without even needing to send back the broken part. RMA service seem pretty great, I'll surely order more from them.

hum by the way, I did no choose the "gift package" option, but my order came labeled as a "gift" and with a declared value of 45hk$... it went trough customs without any additional taxe.

I've placed multiple orders of gba flash carts now from them. It's always a little bit slow, but never any issues so far. Best place I've found to buy gba flash carts these days.

I've ordered from them dozens of time. They're shipping from Hong Kong (for free!) so there's an expected delay of a couple weeks or so, but I've never had any problems with them.

When will they have refurbished ds lites back in stock?
