Thumbs up

If you're in the US, you might try Modchipstore (fast shipping, slow customer service), or modingmaniacs (not familiar with their service).

If you're in Canada, you can use ConsoleSource (VERY fast shipping, but very little communication), or Foundmy (may not have chip available right away, but outstanding communication and customer service).

I used consolesource and was very satisfied with it (once the chip was finally available that is).

EDIT: To my understanding the places that I mentioned should all carry legitimate wiikeys and no clones.

Though it's not a North American store, Eurasia worked perfect for me.

They have very good shipping prices and original wiikey's.

That's strange. I got mine the next day, but I live in Canada.
What's the status of your order on your order history on the website (they won't email you when they ship; you have to check your history on their site to find out).
It's possible that they sent it out a good while ago, but customs is being a bunch of bastards since they recently started making transfers between our countries much more difficult.

i actually check on that daily and it says nothing other than my order. no tracking, nothing.

when it arrives here i will check the date stamped on it when they sent it and i'll update you guys.

But what is the status of your order?
If you go to ConsoleSource.com and click on "My order history" link at the bottom of the page, and login, then click the "Search" button, you should be able to display your order history. and see your order. It will also show the status. If it's "Complete" (and in green) that means they shipped it. If it's "Queued" (and in yellow) that means they haven't.

I would just avoid modchipstore. If you don't encounter any problems, fine, but if you do you will be very very frustrated like some of us (there are posts here about them). They seem to take orders even when they don't have the part in stock (no, I'm not talking about pre-orders) and will leave you hanging via their crappy ticket system. Seriously, avoid them.
