Order #262
I ordered a SmartXX last Thursday night and assumed it would ship Friday and get to me within 1-4 business days, but apparently it didn't ship until Monday and won't be arriving until Friday 
I chose to buy from BMMods because of all this great feedback, even though the price was a bit higher than other places. It's a little disappointing I won't be getting my chip until Friday (a full week after ordering, with 1-4 day shipping).
Other than that it's been a good place to buy, and if I were getting my Xbox modded by a shop I would definitely try BMMods again, but for ordering parts I'll probably go somewhere else unless the price is average or less.
If for some reason my chip comes tomorrow then I'll retract the bit about slow shipping  |
cheesy99,
You ordered your modchip at 03:27:05 AM (GMT -6) on the 25th. Your package was dropped off the same day as indicated on the tracking page. For whatever reason, FedEx did not scan this until 5:42 am on the 26th (GMT -6).
Either way, the Estimated delivery date by FedEx is the 2nd, one day after the time FedEx was supposed to deliver. Shipping from coast to coast, unfortunately, can cause randomly unexpected delays.
I appologize for FedEx not meeting their criteria. I have sent you an email offering
Free Shipping for your next purchase.
BMMods shipped your product out the same
day it was ordered, just as we advertise shipping within 1 business day. We hope you will accept the
Free Shipping coupon as a token of our appreciation and continue to shop with us.
Thank you.
I have just bought another chip and i am totaly satified with the quality and the service they have provided me. They answered all my question with great speed and great explainations. They are one of the best sites to purchase things with. I totaly recomend them for future buisness.
I placed an order and received it as promised. The chip works fine also. I will be placing 3 more orders shortly, since my first experience is smooth; I will continue to buy from bmmods. Cheers to good service. 

Thanks for the prompt service. I was in need of a new chip and with the help of Lookformeb I got it done. Service was fast and friendly. I am sure if I lived closer he would have delivered it in person with a six pack of beers and a cute blonde(just to show how far he goes to make sure you are happy).
Again, My conclusion is that BMMODS is a great shop with excellent service. If you order from him you will be happy, you have my word.

Thanks for all of the great reviews guys!!
'nuff said.
Needed some stuff rushed.. and they bent over backwards. (he didn't even know it was me. )

Can't say enough good things about Bmmods or his service.

The reason it was slow at the end of the week is because we were setting up our booth and attending the Houston import show off so we did no shipping on thu and Friday. Everything from thu - Sun feel on Monday and Tuesday. Monday we shipped a total of 489 orders in 1 day and another 300 on tuesday. I don’t see bmmods doing that kind of volume. IF we had bmmods amount of orders to do we would also ship same day.
Also bmmods shipping is as such
2nd Day Shipping : $8 Overnight Shipping : $20
Our overnight is $5 cheaper than bmmods. No one has cheaper shipping rates than we do. If dhl didn’t get the package to you overnight let us know so we can file a service failure and refuns your shipping. We can do this every time they fail to get it there by 3pm. If that’s the case then shipping will be free for you.
Thanks for the honest review and I look forward in hearing back from you.
btw: pics of the show and the cars will be up soon.

Of course you don't see BMMods doing that kind of volume... you don’t have access to our order history. BMMods ships items promptly and accurately, which is exactly what customers want . If a company can't do that, then they simply don't have the man power to provide the service necessary.
What does a customer care what volume a company sells? Customers want prompt delivery and great customer support. You could have 3,000 orders a day, but if you cant ship them within the timeframe that the customer deems suitable (as well as promised by company policy), it's irrelevant what your volume is. Don’t processes more orders then you can handle or employ more packers; period.

I'm proud to say, BMMods will never place our customers on the back burner simply because we are sponsoring some event completely unrelated to sales placed within our shop... along with that, BMMods will never take their entire packing staff to this event, inhibiting the sole responsibility of a retail shop; Shipping items ordered.
| QUOTE |
| Our overnight is $5 cheaper than bmmods. No one has cheaper shipping rates than we do. |
You've just reminded me... Current shipping discounts allow BMMods to ship overnight for $15. Now you can proudly say, "No one has cheaper shipping rates then SMT and BMMods." BMMods does not ship in envelopes, but rather in Sturdy Boxes. If we shipped in the envelopes and padded packs like SMT uses, we would be able to drop overnight shipping to about $12 dollars and 2nd day to around $7.
Either way, System-Mods is a great reseller. Biggest worry in this business is fraudulent companies (no need to name any, just look at feedback). You won’t find yourself in a credit card disputes with SMT; the company is sound and does business well.

Let me just say this: bmmods is awsome. They shipped my chip promptly, had excellent and prompt customer support, and packed my chip very well indeed. I couldn't be happier
After system-mods.com continually bungled and delayed my order (10 days later and it still hadn't shipped!) I went to bmmods.com. They were able to not only fill my order, but have it on my doorstep across the United States exactly twenty four hours later! Amazing.

This site is awesome. Nothing short of perfect.
I ordered a SmartXX v2 (HE ..just for the hell of it) tuesday night at around 8pm, and it took less then 48 hours from the time I paid to the moment I had it in my hands - Thursday at around 3PM.
The service is great, their irc channel has some very great support guru's, who answered my many (perhaps excess) questions promptly
Highly recommended.
Ordered my spiderchip from these guys and it was a great experience.
Will probably order from them again in the future. Great Service Great
Site. What more con I say.
My second order with these guys and as before great service.
Definately will recommend them to anyone who needs a mod chip.
I started a modding site a few months ago, and it wouldn't be anywhere close to where it is if I would have picked a different vendor to purchase my chips from. They get my chips out quickly and always take care of me when I have a special need or request.
Whether you are spending 50.00 or 500.00 with this company rest assure you will be handled like you just spent 5 million!!

I'm a newbie to the mod world and I'm thinking of buying xenium spice kit from bmmods.com.
When I go to the bmmods' xenium spice mod product site (https://www.bmmods.c...&cat=262&page=1), it gives an option to buy "Hard drive upgrade kit" for $5.99. They don't mention any details of this option. Is the upgrade kit necessary for upgrading the harddisk? What does this upgrade kit comprise of?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

I recently got burned when ordering from http://www.chipdealer.com/. So I was a little nervous about ordering online again. The order went through fine. It was completed, packed and shipped the same day. They e-mailed me a USPS tracking # but every time I tried to check it all it said was that the shipper has notified the USPS to expect the package for delivery. This made me very nervous. I called the USPS and they claimed they had not recieved the package yet. By this point I was ready to dispute the charges but I told myself I would give them 7 days. Today, Saturday I recieved the Chip in the mail.
My order was placed on 8-22-2005 and I recieved it on 8-27-2005. I am very happy with BMMODS but the USPS needs to fix their broken track and comfirm system. Now when I go to the USPS site it says the package has been delivered. Many thanks to BMMODS for doing what I paid them for they will have my business again.

Order #13674
My order was processed on Friday Nov 18th. As of today they still have not shipped the item. I emailed them on Tues the 22nd and have not gotten back a response. This is my first mod and the first time ordering from a modstore and I am really disappointed in their service. In the email I got from them after my order was processed it said it should ship in one business day, well I'm starting day three and nothing yet. I'm not sure why this store has gotten such good ratings.
When ordering with our free shipping service, we do not send out orders daily. Only UPS orders are shipped daily. However, your package will arive in the estimated time frame promised.
The email needs to be updated which I will do shortly, but upon checkout there is a section you can click to see when your order should arive.
We do not respond to support inquires via email, only our support desk found at http://www.bmmods.info
I've had a VERY NEGATIVE experience with BMMods. I've ordered from them in the past and it was an excellent transaction and the shipping was fast however this time around they've been horrible... horrible enough that i'll never do business with them again and i'm not very picky at all. First of all on the site it says backorders are generally from 2-3 weeks- ok. well its been 2 months and finally they get the xecuter 3 in
stock. To add insult to injury on december 19th 2005 they charged my credit card the ($92.97) and today they send me an email saying my order was declined!!!!! I've waited 2 months and have been charged WTF!!! is wrong with BMMods??? BMMods has gone to shit since last year. Email me for a screenshot of my bank statement as proof that they charged me on Dec. 19th ([email protected]). Please do yourself and me a favor by never ordering from BMMods. It is ridiculous that I have to post my feedback on the forums. (I'm going to post on all of them including ** Links to Xbox Warez and Torrents **)

o ordered an x2.6 for friend. on my door step 3 days later
i would say great price, but i didnt pay
and fast shipping
(and btw, don't give bmmods a bad name, becuse you don't read the words "backorder")
Hey Bmmods is great, I had such a nice time with them. Everyone is very nice I like them alot. I wish I could say more but I am a man of few words. #13702 was the order number of my s.p.i.c.e. I love it I dont know how I gamed without it.
Order #14830
I ordered a chip from bmmods about a year ago, after my brother did the same and had great service. When my last xbox got stolen and I wanted to replace it, the first place to buy my chip again was from bmmods. The order was processed very quckly and shipped just as quick. I know that there were (are?) some issues with others receiving their items, but my experiences were great! I have some friends that are looking at a mod chip and I will point them directly to bmmods.
Order #14724
I'm very satisfied with the whole experience and recommend Brian's services to anyone. There was delay in completing my order, install of a SmartXX v3 and 300GB HDD upgrade but Brian kept me informed during the process. The work done was professional and he'll get my business again.
lookformeb.com is a helpful resource if you're like myself, new to the scene

Order #14861
I orderd a chip from bmmods on June 10th, which was labeled IN STOCK and said it would ship in 24-48 hours. That's great, not in that big of a hurry, have another modded box with the first gen xecuter. A few weeks go by and I finally receive a item shipped notice on the 25th. 13 days late but ok no rush.. a week goes by and USPS still says they have not received the item from the shipper, and still to this day has not:
420852819101805213907270787027
So on the 2nd of July I open a ticket at bmmods.info. It would have been nice if they EVER had live support, but I have honestly never seen that online, and don't think it ever is. I immediatelly receive Brian's canned response that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy for 2 minutes:
http://www.bmmods.in...a...ws&newsid=6
Note the date on the link also. Looks like a lot has change in those 4 months
Over a week later and 3 responses from me in my ticket at bmmods.info and nothing but the original canned response from these guys. My ticket is EZM-717752 incase anyone can light a fire under their ass. Like I said when I submitted the ticket it would be nice if the link they sent me wasn't just a bunch of propoganda BS and they actually were honest when an item was out of stock. I think everyone can agree that one lost sale because and item is out of stock and possible return business is much better than an angry customer never to return that will also influence others. I'm currently working with BofA to reverse the fraudulent charge because I had gone through all the proper channels to resolve it. I had looked through the forums before but just now noticed the shop review sections and thought maybe there is an easier way.
I spoke with Brian today and it seems my package was "misplaced" and is being shipped. I'm glad it got resolved so quickly, but I'm wondering if my post had anything to do with it. My backorder/out of stock comments are still valid though as it did take 3 weeks to ship the item out. May want to confirm before you order just how long it will be as the pages always says 24-48 hours. I think the problem is mostly with SmartXX, it's more apparent on other sites that label backorder properly that they aren't churning em out fast enough 
Thanks Brian..
Order number 14904:SmartXX v3 with solder-less kit.
I ordered from BMMods on 26-Jun-06. I only today (13-Jul-06) got an email saying that they shipped the product out. I only waited this long because in their help files, they say to wait 14 business days after shipping out before contacting them as thats how long they half to wait to file with the post office. Since my naive self thought that processed meant shipped, I waited till today to go complain that I hadnt received anything yet. Today though, theres an email saying it just now shipped. WTF? Ships in 24-48 hours my ass. Today will be 12 business days, and thats leaving out the 4th of July and 2 Saturdays.
BMMods was not the cheapest seller of what I wanted, but they had lots of good reviews. Now, I guess its time their reviews went down the same drain that their service went down. If you are offering things on back order, thats fine, but list it as such so I can make an intelligent decision on whether to buy it or look for something else. I would not recommend BMMods to anyone else due to the deceptive ship times.
I eagerly await the arrival of the just shipped mod chip so I can praise or bitch some more.

great serive, took some time to get the order completed but responded to all questions in a timely manner. i would do business again with bmmods.com

Yes, the order was originally shipped late, the package was lost, and now it has been rerouted by USPS as stated.
There was never any "bunch of propoganda BS" relating to the modchip actually being out of stock.. We are not selling products which we do not have in stock.. this includes backorders.
As of right now, most orders are shipping the same day. Support inquries as being handled appropriately and the live support is being utilized. Also, within the next few weeks we will no longer be using USPS 5-9 day service due to delivery issues. We will be replacing this service with USPS 2-3 Day at no extra cost which includes signature confirmation.
I ordered a PS2 modchip (#15273) from BMMods 12 days ago, on the 6th. Payment was processed quickly and my card was charged but no shipping has been performed as of today, the 18th! After all the positive comments, I expected a little better than this.
I submitted a support ticket about this on the 14th and haven't had a reply yet. I'm incredibly disappointed in the lack of communication and their apparent inability to ship product after taking payment. I mean really, WTF?
Order #15306; I ordered two Xenium Gold chips.
I ordered on Monday, Nov. 6. They took my money very promptly, but my package has neither been shipped, nor has either of my tickets (CWK-967567 & JXX-241512) ever been responded to. I recently placed a third ticket (CWO-132525), asking to either ship my items immediately or refund my money. To this day (Thursday, Nov. 16) I have not heard a single thing in response to my attempts at contacting BMMods (including PMing lookformeb).
I honestly believe that this is a scam and don't really expect to ever get anything from BMMods. There inability to provide any information (address, name, et cetera; the website's domain is even managed through a proxy service: Domains by Proxy, Inc.) supports my belief that they are a scam. If I am mistaken I will return and say so. However, if a business cannot provide any reliable mode of communication (not even an email address), then I honestly don't want to give them my money.
I will update my situation honestly at some point in the future.

2x Xenium Gold
I've ordered twice before from bmmods.com and had no problems (the last one around Oct. 13th 2006). This order (Nov. 5) was processed by my credit card company on Nov. 5th (according to the e-mail I got from bmmods.com). According to the bmmods.com website, it says that orders are shipped out twice a week. As of today (Nov. 17), bmmods.com still has not shipped my order.
In order to follow this up, I sent an e-mail on 11/15 to them (via their help website). I too got the standard canned response that they would respond. As of today, I have sent in 5 more help tickets and have received nothing but the canned response from each one.
I have checked their 'Live Support' web option all hours of the day (7am until 11pm MT) and have yet to see this option available.
There is no way other than the website to contact them as far as I can tell.
At this point, I would recommend NOT using this vendor.

My order has said processed since 11/3 and I haven't gotten any email about shipping. I have also tried to PM lookformeb (I assume this is the buy that runs bmmods.com) with no results as well. I have to say it is really disappointing that a place with such good feedback can give such horrible service. Does anyone know what the deal is? Has anyone received any order from bmmods in the last month?
