deal sniper website

[chrissyannie]

does anyone know anything about this site? they seem to have been around for ages.anyone bought from them?

[pamdoll]

I ordered a Nintendo DS Lite from them on the 15th October and the order is still showing as pending.

Have tried to contact them on several occasions but they simply close the query without responding.

Turns out they guarantee 10 days delivery from order being dispatched - no comment on the length of time it will take them to 'dispatch'.

Hoped to get for Xmas, now just hoping to get...

Hi Pamdoll. Just to say I have been told they are a legit place by my son who's friend bought a ds from them not long ago.Keep on at them as I have,my stuff is eventually showing up as with DHL at last.I did contact DHL the other day to find ouit about my order,and it seems they do masses of deliveries for this dealsniper place.The guy gave me the address in Hong Kong for them.They trade as Bond Brothers Unit 1-2 gf/4 Wonder Building,161-175 Fuk Wah(the guy spelt it for me!)Street,Kowloon Hong Kong.Hope thie helps you too.I will let you know when it gets here if its ok stuff.

Hi. Just want to say thanks to you both. You both have answered my question. I was some what sceptical. Still not sure if i should order. can you both tell me if you paid Import taxes and duties as it said on the website this might be a possibilty. Have any of you received your items yet?

[chrissyannie]

hi to all.Believe it or not,just got my order this morning!
All the stuff i ordered was there,and I dint get charged any taxes,but it does state that you may do.Guess its just luck? Anyway,at least we know that they are an ok place to buy from.Also,may pay to threaten to cancel your order if they are being slow,as they issued me with a code for a discount on my next order as an apology.
Hope this helps anyone thinking of ordering from them.

[pamdoll]

Hi,

I received my order yesterday. I did have to pay import tax of �15.00 but all my order was there and I am very, very happy.

[chrissyannie]

hi Pamdoll,glad you got your stuff okay.Did you have to pay import tax when the goods were delivered, or did the delivery company bill you after? just wondering as I didnt have to pay DHL when they delivered my parcel.

I ordered a DS Lite from them. It was confiscated by British Customs as it was counterfeit. AVOID them. If you bought from them, you likely have a fake. I am trying to get my money back as we speak.

Hi, I did receive my nintendo ds lite from dealsniper, but am very concerned as my friends has been seized by customs and excise from them. I have emailed dealsniper via paypal, and they claim to be 100% genuine, so why are customs and excise seizing their goods ? Mine came with a bundle of 200 games, which are on 2 normal cd's which have been burn't off, and don't work, so thats a rip off itself. I am going to pursue this through paypal, as I'm not convinced my nintendo is legit. I would definately think twice about buying anything from this website. Good luck.

Its really interesting finding all this out as I guess I was pretty lucky. I too didnt know anything about this website but ordered from them anyway. I recieved my ds about the 9th of Dec. They were extremely helpful when I emailed them with my quieries about the ds and replied promptly. I also recieved my order no problem and tracked it on the FedEx website.
It came in one piece and both the DS and the 2 dvds with all 200 games work smoothly. MissyGuy I wouldnt worry that your nintendo is not legit, even if it isn't mine still works fine. Can play games on it, watch movies, listen to music and it was a bargin deal! There is a variety of different opinions on this on the net but the consoles have definatly been removed from the website and this article appeared: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7766708.st m
The only thing that seems to be potentially dangerous about them though is the power adaptor, so just charge it off the usb cable it was provided with. Another lady said this "BEWARE... THEY ARE A CON...THEY SEND YOU A FAKE LETTER FROM CUSTOMS SAYING IT HAS BEEN SEIZED BUT YOU DO NOT GET YOUR MONEY BACK..BETTER TO FLUSH YOUR MONEY DOWN THE LOO INSTEAD " But I have trouble believing that seeing as it is on both the bbc and sky website. You can't expect top quality from a company which intentially buys its products in asia so they're cheaper! If you want to be sure you have the real deal then shop at a well known and respected store.

dont buy from these people they are a con orderd a nintendo ds lite package from them customs had it for 3 weeks and have just phoned me and said all of their goods are counterfit, so beware they could be dangerous if you got one that gt through customs, cant believe they are still selling

WARNING - My Nintendo DS order from Dec 08 has been impounded by UK customs as Stansted Airport - it contains Fake goods. This information came from FEDEX.

Update on fake DS shipments in 2008:

I raised a dispute with them via paypal and received a full and total refund in to my account in 5 mins - very impressed.

So if it did get through customs then how do you know its a fake? Cos mine looks really genuine....if it is do I need to pay the import tax from fedex cos they sent me a letter this morning.
Thanks

[chrissyannie]

Hi Gareth,How did you manage to get a refund from paypal?I have tried,but it just came up that they could not cover me on this transaction.Any info on how you did it would be gratefully received.Trying to get back �376,as none of the stuff i got from them lasted a couple of days.

[frankjohnson]

Cant believe the stupidity of the people on here, you purchase a genuine DS lite with DVD's full of games and wonder why Customs seize your goods, the DS is not counterfeit however having 300 back up ROMS on disc is if you dont own the originals.

The company is fine providing you just order consoles with original games!

[missyguy]

I have just received a full refund from dealsniper through paypal, so this proves that they are selling counterfeit goods whether or not they say they are all 100% genuine, I was very persistent via paypal, as you will find out their emails are written in poor english, so just put the pressure on. I quoted to them UNDER THE SALES OF GOODS ACT I AM PERFECTLY ENTITLED TO CHANGE MY MIND ABOUT ORDERS MADE VIA THE INTERNET, PHONE OR MAIL EVEN AFTER RECEIVING THE GOODS, SO THEY HAVE NO GROUNDS TO REFUSE A TOTAL REFUND. I do hope this helps, keep sending them emails, and be very firm with your words.

[chrissyannie]

Hi Miss Guy,did you have to return the DS before they refunded your money? I tried to get a refund from paypal,but with no luck.Did you get your refund from Dealsniper or paypal? Also,I paid with a debit card,so dont know how I stand.

[missyguy]

Hi chrissie annie, I raised a dispute through paypal, and got a refund from dealsniper via paypal, without returning the nintendo, it took a fews days for them to agree to this, they will try and fob you off, but I bombarded them, keep pursuing with a dispute, and there is no reason why you should not get a full refund. I had to pay �15.00 for customs and excise, which they didn,t refund.

I bought from them last October. The DS I bought for my son's birthday was not working. After a lot of hassle from Dealsniper, I eventally had to return the DS I bought from them to them. I strongly believe that the games are pirated and the DSs are copies. I would save yourself a headache and buy from the UK and pay a bit more. My son is finally playing with his DS after almost 5 months but who knows when it may play up again. Best wishes.
