They are a pretty big reseller of modchips, so, although their customer service is about as shit as it gets, I doubt that they would purposely rip you off.

usually takes a few days to check a card by these types of places. and arent they in the UK and your in canada? will take alot longer than 3 days. or if they are shipping from the same city it shouldnt take more than 3 days at all. prolly take longer to verify your CC.

That's weird. I ordered my Xenium ICE from Divineo and it came shipped from Hong Kong

I'm suprised to hear so much bad stuff about Divineo. I got a bad chip from them (defective, not cloned) and not only were they right on top of it with trying to help me fix the problem, but they were quick to take it back and sent out a new one right away.

I brought my chip from them before Christmas and had no problems. Delivery was great, it arrived the next day or the day after.

Divieno have been good with me, maybe it depends on where your getting your chips from?

I'm in Australia, so both the chips I have ordered have come out of HK, both orders processed quite quickly, the first chip was on it's way within 8 hours of placing the order, the second not quite as quick, but still under 12 hours.

Both orders were placed on a Wednesday, the first got to me in 5 days, arriving on Monday, the second arrived on the Tuesday (today actually), but then Monday was a public holiday here this week.
After checking the tracking numbers with HK Post, I suspect delivery time would have only been 3-4 days if it were not for the weekend, the orders left HK the day after they were ordered, so really I'd not be surprised if your ordered a chip on a Monday, you would have it by Friday here.

This was just regular Airmail as well, HK seems to be really on the ball when it comes to shipping etc.

I buy all of my chips through divineo and have never had any problems.  I live fairly close to one of their shops, so i recieve my orders in a matter of days.  I have also had to deal with their customer service about a couple faulty samsung drives.  It took a while but i got a full refund.

I just bought my chip off Divieno about 2 weeks ago. It was a great expierence, I got the chip in about 2 days.

Divineo is great, and I order alot of product from them.
My only complaint is that they don't distinguish which chips are knockoffs.

IE) China Magic does not make the Magic3.1+. It's a knockoff, capitalizing on the namesake, complete with the happy face etched into the PCB, and the same red PCB as the Magic 3.1.

IE) The RipperIV isn't made by the official Ripper Team, nor is the NeoBright, however divineo doesn't clarify this.

That kindof bothers me, but I don't really mind using clones (I'm running a Xenium Ice clone right now). I can't afford chips from the big boys... I still think it's good to give credit where credit is due, and I think that it's wrong to capitalize off of a knockoff chip without your customers being told that it's a knockoff. That's just my ethic.
