Hey guys, I'm clearly very new to the PSP mod scene as this is my first post. Just figured I'd stop in to report my experience with these guys. I was a bit foolish and didn't do enough research before purchasing, as I know now there are several other online retailers that are much quicker/cheaper than this site. However, I was in a rush, and ordered from these guys thinking it wouldn't be any different than anywhere else. They said it would ship from their HQ (listed on the website as Missouri, I believe) and arrive with 7 days of shipping. Sure enough they didn't supply a tracking number. After a week of waiting for an update on the shipping page (and reading this thread) I emailed the owner and told him I needed a tracking # or I would file a grievance. After that he supplied me with a tracking #, which didn't report anything for several days. After about two weeks (total) the tracking number finally indicated that a package was leaving Hong Kong (far from Missouri). It took about another week and a half for me to actually receive the package. They said I would get a pandora battery with a duo stick that was already turned into a MMS with the latest custom firmware. What I got was an already opened 1GB duo stick (totally empty, no firmware on it, had to be turned into an MMS) and the pandora battery which wouldn't stay in the PSP.

tl;dr version
I did get the pandora battery and the 1GB duo I ordered from them. It took three weeks longer than they said it would, and the memory stick did not have any firmware on it like they claimed. They are certainly very misleading, and they're just acting as a middle man for DealExtreme. Skip these guys and go straight to DealExtreme or some other site. I do have a modded PSP now, but I could have saved money and time by using someone else.
