order no. - 31337

Let me join the chorus of "wish I'd read these pages first."

I ordered the Xenium in mid -August. After a month's wait, I got the by-now familiar note from 'Jan' about the item no longer being shipped, and offering the by-now familiar 'upgrade' to a better chip.

I quickly said yes.

Predictably, I've not received anything since then, nor any response to my emails.

I'm lucky: I can afford (not happily) to lose a few bucks. What angers me most is the knowledge that this company appears to be taking advantage of lots of modders, many of whom probably can't afford the hit.

ORDER THERE ONLY IF YOU WANT TO TEST YOUR LUCK?

My story...

Order id: #32020

Ok, xbox-modchips.com... first time I ordered a Xecuter 3.0 with Xapter adapter, I got the product in my mailbox 3 days after the order confirmation, WOW!

BUT

Over 3 weeks ago, I placed another order for a friend for a Xecuter 2.6lite with Xapter adapter... well, sent over 10 mails, called over 5 times, no answer (as for all the 100+ other users who posted here). After reading 5 pages of post in this topic, I realised that I will never get my chip, simple as that.

So, from what I have read and my personnal experience, you have a 30% chance to receive your goods in 2-4 days, 60% chance to never receive it (and still be billed of course) and a 10% chance to never received exactly what you paid for.

AND OF COURSE, A 100% TO NEVER GET ANY ANSWER TO YOUR PHONE CALLS OR EMAILS

Order #32455

I made the order on 10-9-07. I received the "processed" email and the money was taken out on the 11th. I didn't hear anything back from them so I started leaving messages and help desk tickets to find out when they were going to ship my product. (smartxx chip) I paid the extra shipping to get it faster hahaha. Well today I was checking my account and the money has been put back in. I don't know what happened, I didn't ask for the money I just wanted to know when they were going to ship my product. I have never gotten a live body on the phone... maybe they went ahead and shut their doors, and I got lucky.

At least I may find a supplier that I can get a chip from now that I know that you have this section (which is a great idea thanks)

Well here is an update. They came and took the money out of my account again on 10/24/2007. They still haven't sent my stuff, and I still haven't heard from them. I guess it is time to get Visa after them.

Well so much for my luck.hahaha Beware DON'T MESS WITH XBMC also known as CONSOLECHIPS

They DID take the money back out of my account on 10/24 I NEVER heard back from them (the messages and emails I left them and all of the phone calls) I sent an email to EVERY email address I found for them and let them know that I was going to get VISA involved and they magically answered all of my tickets saying that they have refunded my money and that it would take 1-10 days for it to show up on my card. They also had the nerve to offer me a $10 off coupon for my next order of $40 or more........They must be on drugs. After all of this crap they think that I will mess with them again....

I SUGGEST THAT YOU ALL STAY CLEAR FROM XBMC, and let anyone that you can know what a piece of crap they are... maybe no one else will get duped by them. I have NEVER had so much trouble with an online company

Well, thery are worse than ever, actually I think they are going, or have gone. out of business. I ordered a very fancy high-end XBOX 360 from them and received it after many weeks. It failed right away and after many emails I got someone called Jimmy to email me and said they honor the warranty and gave me an RMA#. I sent it back and it was signed for by HINTZ (I'm sure that's a real name) on August 7, 2007. After several emails, support tickets, and phone messages left, not one response! It has been three months now and I don't expect to get it back. I will have to file a small claims court suit against them now. What a pity that couldn't just send the box back. Unbelievably poor business ethics. The BBB near Waco, TX (Harker Heights, TX) where they installed and shipped the system from, said they have had many complaints and they actually tried to conact them for me but, of course, no replies.

Nothin left to say.....

Order #32537
Date: 10-10-2007 13:11:10

I ordered the XCM Xbox 360 High Speed Air Cooler w/ LCD & Addon Fan #16302 and HALO CASE MOD for my 360 on Oct 10th, the money was taken out right away then put back in a couple of days later then retook back out on the 24th which is fine. I had used my mothers bank account and then paid her back that Friday. My mother passed away the 15th and the bank account is now closed so I can't dispute said charge. It really sucks that it seems like I lost my $135. I've called several times and left messages and I currently have 4 help tickets open and nothing. Is there a real e-mail out there or just the e-mail that posts to the help forum?

unsatisfied customers and complaints

grade to acomidate the slow e-mail about the back order and the
patience i have shown reguardless of the ratings i have read about
your store

file a complaint ith my credit card company please understand that i
will only be doing this to ensure my large amount o money in which i
have invested

Okay I guess it's my turn to tell my sob-story.

Order#: 33060
Items ordered: Xeno GC Mod-Chip for Gamecube.
New Gamecube Case to fit full-size dvds
Game-bit (required to open up the game-cube)
Order date: Nov, 13, 2007

Immediately after the order was placed I was charged and the money was taken from my bank account. I paid with a debit card with a master-card logo. Anyways I contacted 2 of thier appropiate departments for orders status question and item inquiries. 13 days later still no reply. I even called thier phone number which immediately goes to voicemail, nomatter what time of day or day of the week you call. I left a message with my name, order number, contact phone number, and my question and asked them to call me back. Nothing. Today I finally e-mailed them demanding a refund. I should have read up here first, but I was too trusting, I've never been scammed on the internet before and I must say it sucks. I am at a loss of $58.17 and after reading up here in this thread, I am afraid I am not going to be refunded. Is there anything I can do? Is there anyway to get my money back? Money isn't exactly something i have a lot of nor can I afford to lose any.

Has anyone from this thread from Sept '07 to present has their situation fixed? If not, I would recommend that NOBODY do business with this shop until all outstanding issues have been fixed. I was contacted by one member.. and when I saw the state of this this thread, I started to un-invis many posts that a moderaotr made invisible. While they were usually following the rules of this site, at this point it's far more import to show the poor record of this shop, and to warn people to stay away from it until it has fixed the issues.

AS OF NOW.. DO NOT BUY FROM XBOX-MODCHIPS.Com

I ordered mid-december and received everything last week...after 3 voicemails, several emails, etc.

I would definitely not do business again with them. They never returned my calls or emails, gave me any updates, or anything that normal customer service entails. Yes, I'm glad I got my parts without having to contact my credit card company, but it took WAY too long and they have ZERO customer service. Seriously, it is non-existent.
