    I purchase the blue led complete padora battery kit from wholesale elite web site last thursday. It is now wednesday almost a week later and I have not yet received it. There shipping says within 2-3 business days. They wont respond to any of my emails I have sent then (a total of 4). There customer feedback sounds to good to be true. I was just wondering if anyone has ordered from them and if they have had any trouble with getting there items from them.

    Darn. I wish I would have seen your post earlier. I ordered the same kit two weeks ago and no response via email same as you. Did you try to get your money back from PayPal? Does anyone have a reputable site where to buy a pandora battery kit from?

    i got mine from dealextreme
    http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.12472

    shipping takes a while because they're in hong kong but if i remember correctly it came within two weeks. no site in the US can come close to that price.

    as for the magic memory stick just make it yourself. i used this guide:
    http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.12472

    search around for a 256 or 512 stick it shouldn't cost you more than a couple bucks then tuck it away somewhere safe after you install your custom firmware. if you get into plugins or themes it's relatively easy to brick your psp if you screw up so it's nice to have a reliable magic memory stick around.

    Yeah, its funny you say that. I started the process with Paypal and later that day the post office sent me an email confirmation tracking the item. Hopefully it should be here today or tomorrow. Even more important though, does it work?

    An update: I did finally receive my Pandora battery kit. It worked exactly as advertised and I was able to downgrade my PSP without problem. I still did not receive a reply to any of my emails and it took over 3 weeks to get my kit. So I would not recommend this site not because its a ripoff (its not) but because of the poor customer service...

    I also bought a 4gb blue led battery on dec 2 and didnt recieve it. on dec 10th i wrote exactly 4 emails to sdiesel2007@gmail.com. after the 4th email he responded with a shipping tracking number. the usps tracker said they recieved an electronic notice on dec 17th to expect the package. it been almost over a month since i ordered and i haven't recieved it. I think the site is a scam. I also openned a dispute about a 2 week ago with paypal, but wholesale-elite hasn't responded.

    Wow, lol I'm sorry I can't believe they sell flowers now. I did in fact after a few weeks get my product and I'm hoping they would have sent out your product before they converted to flowers.

    But otherwise I don't know what to tell you.

    Are you sure you have the right website, I just checked and still see batteries.

    If it make you feel better I bought the 2 in 1 led pandora batt from him couple weeks ago and received it in a timely matter and the thing works great have used it on several psp's already. I think he didnt realize the volume he would be doing and is running it all by himself and so is really backed up

    from what i've heard, wholesale elite is not a scammer, but their shipping seems to be a big problem. many people have ordered from them and waited more than a week for their stuff to come. i'm a victim of it too as i ordered a pandora battery and mms from them last sunday. today is monday and it is still not here. however, there are also people who ordered from wholesale elite and got their items in a timely matter. it's a gamble when you order from wholesale elite when it comes to having to wait for your items. but don't worry, they'll send it.

    LOL, I seen the topic of this thread and I said to myself watch it be WholeSale-Elite!!! and it was.

    Here is my story. I ordered a pandora battery and a 2GB memory stick from him. After 1 full week I started to think I got scamed because the tracking number and order status in my email where still blank. so I called like 10 times in about 3 hours finally he sent me a text message (the only way he seems to communicate), nice 24/7 custumer service. Telling me the stuff is being shipped from CHINA!!. I was like "WHAT" is says that it is shipped from Indiana on his website. And with me being in Ohio I thought it would be here in the 3-5 days like the site says. Oh, and in one of his texts he also said it could take up to 21 days.

    I did finally get it 12 days after I ordered it. It did work perfectly, but I was kind of upset because instead of the 2GB I ordered I got a 1GB (he never responded to my text about that).

    His stuff is good, it's just that he straight lies about everything else
