Has anyone tried buying from these people? They have really good prices, but that does not always mean better.

well that's always excellent to see the higher size flash card for a lower price a week after you bought yours...i got the 128mb F2A from success-hk. if was about 100$ w/ shipping, and the 256 is only 72$. damn.

They have the lowest prices, but how do you pay them. You pay a service fee to western union that gobbles up most of the savings or a bank transfer, Bank of America charges $45 fee.

I have ordered a F2A 256Mb from them, US$72 for the unit, US$22 for DHL shipping, US$20 for Western Union money transfer, for a grand total of US$114.

I'm in Canada,

I ordered 2 EZ-Flash II from Winsunx thursday november 25th and received my ordered the following monday (november 29th). Very fast shipping (but a little pricey: 22$us to ship to Canada) and best prices around. Very fast reply by mail, and now with the possibility to pay via paypal (that's what I did) this store is one of the best around... I would buy from them again nytime!

Hope this comment may help you in choosing the right dealer!

I was alittle uneasy ordering from them since the last hardware reply was from 2004, but this was the only online store that still had the EZ-Flash Advance USB linker and cart in stock. (and it had the cheapest retail price)

I ordered it online, paying with paypal on Thursday, November 3rd, and I recieved it on Tuesday, November 8th. Tested it out, and it works great.

I wrote them an email asking about paying with paypal, because you have to go to the paypal site and pay to a specific address, you can't pay directly off the company site. They replied to my email the next day; after I had already found the answer to my question in their service section of the page, of course :-P

While you may get a few laughs from their bad english grammer, their english is more then clear enough to get the message across.

When I recieved my packaged, it came in a larger MP3 player box, wrapping completely in tape. The five minutes it took removing all that tape was scary because I thought they sent the wrong thing, but thankfully, my package was packed snuggly inside with some padding.

I would definitely recommend this site.

Got my EZ4 Lites from them with no probs! There was a slight delay in shipping, but it was from the mfgr.

Ordered a G6 Lite (4Gbit English) and a PassKey-3 from them today - payed by Paypal.

I believe the total was about $117 including shipping to UK via 5-day EMS.

Hopefully should have my goods by the week's end - let's see how this one turns out. :)

I used them a couple weeks ago to get my M3 and a passcard. Cheapest site by a few bucks even with international shipping. I ordered my microSD from newegg though because their memory prices seemed a bit high.

Was a little leary about the paypal setup too, but as soon as I entered their e-mail, paypal recognized them as a several year old business member, which gave me confidence. And there was no service charge to me for using paypal.

Order arrived within a week, no problems at all.

Again, I bought from winsunx.com. I got EZ4 lite generation 2 adapters. These are the ones that sit flush with the DS lite. I would not hesitate to use them again (obviously).

I paid with PayPal. It was a bit odd, requiring me to separately send a confirmation email, in addition to what they received from PayPal, but I appreciate that they may need additional verification. This procedure is described clearly on the ordering form and was not confusing.

It shipped quickly, arrived intact, and the price was good. I'd buy from Winsunx again.
