great, make sure you let me know what it's like. Can i ask where you bought it from?? and how long from payment to receiving it? have found the 10 inch version a lot cheaper on other sites but coming from china, hong kong etc , just don't know where to buy it from now!! at least with ingadget.co.uk i know it's coming from uk and they say they remove everything chinese from it and update it to uk settings etc. as i said i am not into technical stuff etc, so would not have the slightest clue how to do all of that myself.

Ordered mine on the 9th of this month but it didn't leave Hong Kong until Wednesday morning. Arrived in cork at 8:30 Thursday. Customs wanted 20.88 vat. Went from cork to Dublin Thursday evening and was down in Shannon Friday morning.

I ordered off aliexpress.com

hi, i emailed ingadget.co.uk to ask their opinion on which 1 is better and dan replied saying the ainol hero is better, said it's the best chinese tab he has played with yet. Same as you i am trying to decide between the 2, i think for the extra i am just going to buy from them. what other uk suppliers were you looking at?

i need to get a 7 inch too. i emailed futeko, they are in uk, and simon there said he would recommend the novo crystal for the 7 inch but did say they will be getting all quad core ainols in at the beginning of december, which will be much better and faster...... pricing should be around £125 he said.

i dont know what to do

need them for xmas eve anyway so need to make a decision

Got THIS ONE from Hongkonggeek for 7 year old..

Is a grand little tablet, especially for the price, has Play Store etc, put Angry birds and Kindle app on it last night.. very happy with it.

Would think he is just ordering them in from China, when you look to buy one. And adding on a few bob for his trouble of course.

What's the average custom price or does it depend on the package (size etc)?
I thought I remembered a few pages back some saying it's around €30

So I finally got the dreaded customs letter (stung me for €36) but on the plus news my package finally arrived in Ireland!

Ordered end of September, was dispatched intially around 10th October and finally left China at the begining of this month so it's been a long journey but should have it tomorrow!!

Is the OP Tablet the same tablet you ordered but from a different site and for more or less the same price?

Might order a couple more of them (from HKG) as christmas pressies though with Christmas post I'm worried about delays so may chance the courier.

Ah should have ordered from hongkongeek instead of McBub as not only was that fast shipping compared to what mine took and that Duty back offer would have been very handy for me!

I think with the courier (they use DHL) you have more chance of being nabbed for customs....
Edit: but it makes no odds, because they will refund you anyway.....

griffdaddy · 21-11-2012 11:29am

My android stick from McBub is in the Dublin mail center, does that mean it's passed customs?

eamonnq · 21-11-2012 11:31am

Not just yet, you will either get an status 'item sent to customs' or 'item on route to customer'.

Probably the second one.

Went and ordered a 10.1" tablet (after reading up about it) from HGK and decided to use courier so hopefully have in about 7-10 days.

Is that what your tracking says?

I actually gave up tracking mine after it left China and didn't realise it was in Ireland till I got the customs letter. As it's only a stick I'd say it would stand out less... mine unfortunately was a stick and a tablet so bigger package.

griffdaddy · 21-11-2012 11:45am

Yeah that's what it says when I use anpost for tracking, until today it didn't show up at all on the anpost website. I thought it would've passed customs seeing as it says it's in Dublin 12 mail center now, it could be some kind of holding place or something though.

Yeah unfortunately as eamonnq said it will either end up going to you or customs from the mail centre but unless they marked it as a gift or something silly on the package i'd say you'll be fine.

Might be an idea to ring them to find out when you could expect delivery as that way at least you'll know which way its heading.

Ordered from them last month, got the 7" ONDA V712 CORTEX A9 DUAL CORE 1.5GHZ ANDROID 4.0 IPS 1280x800 HDMI 1GB DDR3 16GB - cost about €137 delivered via DHL, marked as photoframe and didn't get cause by customs, but didn't care as would have gotten it back

If anyone is ordering the Onda tablet, you need to upgrade the firmware before u can access the web as there is an issue with the internet due to chinese web settings in the host file. Great little tablet though, got it for the gf for christmas but not sure if she'd like it, keeping an eye out for something better for her so i can keep this for myself

Is 800x600 the best display you'll get on the cheap tablets?

Depends what you mean by "cheap"!!! I've ordered the Ainol Crystal and it has a 1024 x 600 MVA display.
