    It definitely sounds fishy to me to not have received the item after over a month. Did they already take your money out of your credit/debit card/Paypal? If they did, what I would do is file a payment dispute with your bank or Paypal. They'll investigate it and issue you a refund if they find fault with the merchant.

    email the guy: jarrettmodc@gmail.com

    Link to this thread. ask him what the hell is happening?

    they have had issues like this before and they have always come back, as far as i know. I have never shopped with them though, because i live on the other side of the planet (so HK companies are closer)

    Cheers


    PS. for the future, remember to look up a site in forums and search engiens before you buy from them. modchipstore has 'my flash cart was never sent' threads from way back in 2003. I would never buy from a place like that.

    They have not one but several threads filled with complaints on almost every backup/mod chip/cart discussion forum out there including the one you're reading right now.

    You may have to write off the money you sent these people. Contact your bank and try to have the transaction reversed. The site you ordered from was closed, so there should be no major issues. Tell your bank that the product was never delivered and the site is now closed. Can you tell me what it says in your bank statement for thsi transaction? does it mention modchipstore?

    this doesnt sound right... a debit card means your bank account was debited when they ran the card. care to explain what you mean by this? if you saw the money was debited, then that will show up in your bank account.

    I noticed that at almost all of mod stores on Google, the M3 Simply and Lite were out of stock all of a sudden. For the past month or so... I was wondering what happened! I vaguely heard of the mod raid, but didn't realize it was so widespread.

    this is certainly the first time such a large scale raid was implemented. The premises of the raid and seizures are legally in a gray area at best, because these devices and chips do break the dmca's broad definition of 'devices that are designed with the intention to circumvent copyright protection', copyright law defines fair use that does allow legitimate owners of any copyrighted product to make backups for their own use.

    if only the copyright producers were willing to replace damaged media at cost, this would simply not be a defense, and the only legit reason for making mod chips would be to circumvent region protection. but they'd rather spend all that money on lawyers.

    anyway, to get back on topic, based on my limited google research, this is certainly not the first time modchipstore.com has vanished and gone 'absconding'

    I bought the visa debit card from Walgreens.So I think that maybe going to a bank will not help me.

    I thought the store was raided or maybe they are just lying low because of the raid. Anyway something similar happened to me 2 years ago. If you have the card, and it has a Visa logo on it, then you can call the number on the back, VISA, and ask for charge disputes. Tell them that after 6 weeks, you have not recieved your ordered product. Basically Visa has more leverage then Joe Smoe, they give the company 4 weeks to prove that you got the product or Visa refunds you the money and Visa goes after them on their own.

    My friend bought something online with a visa gift card and after he complained, he got his money back credited to the card. It took 28 days from day of complaint. All you need is the website name and the date you ordered it.

    Yes, definitely a Visa card is a Visa card, whether it was obtained through Walgreens or a bank. They all enjoy the same basic benefits. Give 'em a call!
