Title: Easybuy2k
Post by: D0wnXcaST on November 17, 2003, 11:30:00 AM
Hi !

I ordered 2 chameleon + adaptor on monday november 10th (last week), the payment has been accepted since wednesday and they still didnt ship them yet .
whats wrong with them ? i wrote an email and still waiting there reply, and i just saw that some people had some problem of cham not properly pre-flash , did i do a mistake by ordering my chameleon on easybuy2k ???? holy ****

Anyone else had some problem with them ? hope to get my 2 modchip with no prob.

A friend of mine told me that easybuy2k was really great, but i see that they arent maybe as great as he was pretending.  sad.gif  unsure.gif  uhh.gif

I just ordered a chameleon and it came in quicker than a mouse pad I ordered from california and easybuy2k is in canada. It took a week to get to my door.

First Chameleon I ordered came in 3 days.

Second came in about 5 days.

My friend just ordered 1 about a week ago; haven't seen it.
My other friend just ordered 2 a few days ago, and due to some wacky misconception about his home address, we'v egot to send them a confirmation today to prove who he is.

I heard something about them being backordered, but nothing has confirmed this officially to me; I assume that when we call today all will be explained.

I'll try to keep everyone abreast of what is going on in the larger scope, if possible.

I called them this morning.

The guy told me that the manufacturer wasnt shipping the stock, and was reporting shipping date.
So they are back ordered. This s*ck, on there web site is written shipping in 48 hours, but it took 2 weeks to get a d*mn mod chip. The guy told me that they should receive it on friday or monday. so you probably wont receive it before next week. DAMN, im so frustrated, why are they writting shipping 48 hours on there web site when it take 2 weeks, DAMN. grr.gif  grr.gif  grr.gif
Is there any other place where i could get it faster, and in canada if possible ?
because i think i will cancel my order and ask a refund.

they kinna s*ck

So where should we buy from?   huh.gif

xbox-wired is down because their shop is moving, modchipman doesn't have just the chameleon normal+solderless package, and i'm not in the UK so that eliminates your last "official" retailer.  I canceled my easybuy order as it had been WEEKS without any word from them, but where should I go now?  I need a chip desperately, and would really prefer a chameleon over an xecutor.

It looks like Xodus will have a hands on all orders from here on out which means good news for us!


Can we order it directly from xodus, i would really appreciate because easybuy make me sick, i badly want a Cham for my new xbox, i could canceled my order at easybuy if i can buy it directly from xodus. unsure.gif

Or anyone knows any official retailer in Canada where i could order a "GOOD" chameleon mod chip  wink.gif

ATTN Xodux, I sent you an email, i'm waiting your reply if possible,

hey xodus, now that they are nto official resellers now, are you still going to send them the shipment on friday/monday they have been promising me? or did the removal of there offical reseller status mean no more chips for easybuy, im asking cause i orderd a cham and adapter on the 8th and they are currently out of stock, and if there nto going to be getting annymore chips from you i will cancel my order, thankx for your info

Hi JonDante, no, not up yet-i'm at a stall.
I called easybuy2k and the tech said to "check the contacts"...I told him they're verified with a volt meter and I need a programmer so he told me to call their sales guy and ask them to sell me one of their used test programmers. So after a somewhat frustrating conversation with the sales guy who kept trying to refer me back to the tech guy he said ok and he'd put a note in...i haven't heard since and i don't know if the programmer is coming. the programmers are either not sold or out of stock everywhere i've looked. i got a pm from someone else who's willing to sell me a used programmer but i cant answer till i know what easybuy is doing. i'm going to call them back tomorrow and see whats going on, after seeing what they've done to xodus i'm tempted to just return the chip and not do any more business with them... i'm kinda impatient though so i'd like to make it work! they have not given a good impression at all, they took longer than promised on the web site and then delivered a bad chip, and now i'm not sure they're even making an effort to fix their mess...

As far as the 48 hour note on their site that is full of crap because they took longer than that just to contact me to "verify" who I am, which now sounds like nothing more than a delay tactic. I'm with everyone on staying away from them from now on!

I ordered a chameleon from EB2K, but I'm thinking of cancelling.  I was searching for another retailer.  I ran across a company by the name of Go Cyber Shop.  Can anyone verify this retailer?  Prices aren't bad.  I think they're located in Canada.  Here's a link to the chameleon Go Cyber Shop

Yes This is all BULLCRAP...they have us here waiting not telling us anything.

i had a faulty chip that i sent back for an RMA....after 2 weeks..."well have it shipped today or tomorrow" ...my ass
...waiting another week..."nope it hasnt been shipped"
so i just got a refund and got the hell out of there
sorry guys but im most likely gonna buy the xecutur 2.2s because this has wasted so much time effort and nerves

forget about "DONOTBUY2000" get the xodus from other retailers, if theres any

sorry but easybuy200 ruined xodus credibility for me
he should not rely on such a ridiculous place....it's the worst company ive ever seen in america

I ordered a chameleon from easybuy2000 as well, but after getting the run around for over a week, I decided to cancel my order.  The funny thing is they were the most efficient when I asked to cancel my order, replying within hours.  If only they put that same effort into keeping us up to date on the problems they were having and being straight with us about delays.

I just talked to customer support, they confirmed that they are getting the shipment on Monday and will begin shipping the orders then.

After the runaround I received and after all the different dates they told me, I'd be surprised if that happened.  Keep us posted please.

I cancelled my order with EB2K and ordered from GoCyberShop.  Ordered on Wednesday, FedEx says it will be here tomorrow.  Price wasn't that much different, either.

I do live in Canada, not sure if that makes a diffrence or not.  

Hopefully, (for me) easybuy 2k will still have the chips.

hey dan, so you did recieve your chips? and when did you order.
Title: Easybuy2k
Post by: gshockdan on November 22, 2003, 09:20:00 PM
Hey Stan...

I ordered the 3 chips on the Saturday nite, and with the email I sent on the monday/tuesday, my brother said that the fed ex guy was here on thursday with the chips.  As I was away that does seem pretty fast.  They probably did come on the friday.

All within a week and all work fine.

Just wanted to post an update.  I cancelled my order with EB2K (that is one thing that EB2K does quite well) and ordered my Solderless Chameleon from GoCyberShop.  I ordered the chip on Wednesday, and it arrived Friday.  It took two tries, but I soon saw the blue flashing light (you've really got to screw that thing in good).  A few minutes later, my XBox was ready to go.  Moral of the story:  Screw EB2K, order tomorrow from GoCyberShop, and your chip will be here by Wednesday.  EB2K can't promise you that.

Good luck to all and thanks to the scene for all the great advice.  This was my first mod and I couldn't have done it without you guys.

I did like almost everyone.
I call EB2k today and they didnt receive the modchip yet, the guy told me that there was a broken machine or something like that, so ... i canceled everything, and i will order them from Jon dante. I thinks its the best way to do it !

JD, please look your PM !

I agree with Static-.

Hey, static-, i was wondering, did you pay with Credit card ? if yes, have you already been refund ?
I called them 2day to canceled, and i told the guy that it was there falut so i dont want to pay the 4% when you cancel, and he told me that they gonna pay it and i would be completely refund without any fees. thats quite good.

No Idea whether or not their the 1.3 or the LE's.

i doubt easybuy would do us the favor of sending us LE's, since there newer, and on most webshops there a good $10 more than 1.3's.  so i doubt that easy buy will charge us the 1.3 price and give us an LE. but i could be wrong.

I got my order from easybuy today.  I made the order on October 30, w/ overnight shipping and just got it today almost a month later.  AND they shortshipped me.  There was only ONE chameleon/adaptor not the THREE I ordered.


But I just noticed that it is an LE, which is cool
