Anyone buy from BuynShop recently?

I've noticed in the pad thread that it that some of the more recent orders from buynshop have not gone so well. Issues such as not getting BNS pads but a cheaper knockoff, or poor customer service.

For anyone that has ordered recently, how long has it been since your order was processed? I ordered a pair of ignition pads on Friday, and I have only received the automatic confirmation e-mail immediately after making my purchase. Every time I go to their site to track the package, it gives me the same message that it's still being processed.

I've tried calling and e-mailing them to make sure, and the phone keeps ringing, and I obviously haven't gotten a reply to my e-mail. I've called many times, noting the timezone and the work hours, and it seems like either no one is there or the number they have listed is fake.

Anyone have any experience with this?

Hi

I have not yet ordered from BNS. I did send them an email asking a couple of questions about their DX series pads on the 18th. I've heard nothing back which does make me a little leary of ordering from them.

I also sent an email to mymybox on the 16th re: their new Blueshark softpad which was reviewed on Overclock and is supposedly due out this summer. I just don't know what their version of summer is. Of course, no reply from them either

It's quite frustrating when you have a need for an item, you find a company selling what you think will serve your purposes, are willing to give them your money and you don't get any feedback from them.

If you hear back from them or have an update in general - you got what your ordered (meaning a real BNS pad or another brand), I know I'd be intererested to know.

Hope all goes well for you!

No, I just refer to pads with the thick padding as ignition pads out of habit. I purchased the Extreme fusion dance pad bundle.

It took TEN days to process and another 4 to get your pad, and then you got the wrong pad?

I really should have asked around here before buying. I remember buying my "ignition-type" pads from buynshop years ago, and they came quickly and both lasted me like 3.5. years!

Did you get another confirmation when they finally shipped your pads?

And I wonder if it's even worth it to try to cancel, as they haven't even replied to my e-mails yet.

First they send you the auto-confirmation, later they send you the order number once it has shipped. The 2nd one I waited over a week for, and didn't receive until after I made a single email regarding the issue to [email protected].

I actually registered so I could respond to this post directly. I ordered a pad on May 18th, and it STILL says that the order is processing. Calling and e-mail apparently do nothing, so I came here to see if I was alone in this. I'm really hoping that it's just a matter of time (because I really want the pad), but that seems like an incredibly long amount of time for a company to go with no response to the matter.

Any suggestions beyond what's already been said?

If contacting them isn't working I don't know wtf to do. Personally I think it's just a matter of time.

Ramenboy, have you had any luck yet?

I don't know what's going on at BnS, but I wrote them an email on May 18 ... it's now the 31st and I've heard NOTHING from them.

That does not give me confidence to spend my money on a product that a) might not be what's advertised/pictured on the site; b) isn't even their product; and c) that I'd get any type of help or support if I did buy something and there was a problem.

It's a shame really. Someone there better get with the program and start communicating with customers and potential customers. But mostly with people who've placed orders and it's like, you're sitting in outer space waiting and wondering what the heck is going on with your order!

looks like im going to stop reccomending the BNS DX pads to people now, lol.

I'd still recommend it, just don't buy it through their website.

Product good, store bad.

So, is there any other retailer that sells these, or am I stuck with having to buy an alternative?

i hear the new mymybox blueshark foam pads aren't bad, although i haven't ever actually used one, so don't quote me on this. They seem a little overpriced($70+shipping) and don't come with compatibility for all the different systems. But if it's a good pad, i'd say the sacrifices are willing to be made.

anyone got one of these?

i should mention i once owned another pad that was a lot like the BNS DX fusion/sparkle pads. it had that gloss material on the outside, except this one had diagonal arrows in the corners(the top 2 were green, bottom 2 were gray). it worked great before it broke(and the only reason it broke was because my sister played on it with shoes and stepped on the control box). i got this pad on ebay for around $10+$30 shipping, so if you find one and wanna take the risk, go for it. i don't know who made the pad, but it looks exactly like this on that mymybox makes. the only difference i see is the pad i had also had an xbox connecter.
