IDGod Back in Business After Short Break?
Yeah I placed an order 3 days ago and got a confirmation email within 24 hours. Seems like they're back to normal operations. The website maintenance was probably just routine updates.
Honestly, just wanted to share my experience so far since I know a few people were worried when the site went down for that short break. I placed my order right after I noticed it was back up — the whole process was smooth, no error messages or weird redirects. Payment went through on the first try, and the automated confirmation landed in my inbox about 16 hours later, which is pretty much standard for them. Communication speed has been fine so far — I didn't need to reach out to support since everything processed as expected. If I had to guess, they were probably just doing database updates or swapping servers.
As for stealth packaging — I can't comment on that yet tbh since it's only been 3 days and I'm still waiting for the shipping confirmation or tracking number. I'll update the thread once I get the actual pack. Historically though, IDGod has been solid with discrete packaging in the past (plain envelope, no return address that raises eyebrows), so I'm not too worried. If you've ordered from them before you know what I mean.
Value for Money (VFM) rating: I'd give it an 8/10 right now. Their prices are pretty standard for this tier of IDs, and the quality's always matched what you pay. Honestly, the main upside is just that they're back and running — no more downtime anxiety. Plus the fast confirmation turnaround is nice. On the downside, it would've been nice if they'd posted like a little announcement before going into maintenance, just to keep everyone in the loop. And I'm still waiting on the actual shipping, so I can't fully judge the turnaround speed yet. If it ends up being the usual 2-week window then I'll bump up the rating.
Honestly, overall I'd say it's safe to place orders again. If you were holding off because of the maintenance scare, go ahead and send it. I'll report back once I get tracking or when the package lands. Fingers crossed the quality is as good as before.
