Has anyone any experience of them?

They are talking BS.You might avoid customs but that just pure luck.

Even with Customs it seems like a good price, no?

There are Chinese sellers on Amazon selling the same one - can you confirm if they are on Amazon that mean Customs will not be due on the purchase???

From their FAQ:

Q: Do I need to pay local taxes, import duties, tariffs, VAT or other hidden fee?

If you are coming from UK/Spain/Portugal/Danmark/Italy/Germany/Ireland/France/Belguim/Netherlands, your order will be shipped via Europe express (HongKong-UK one time custom clearing-UK or Other Europe country) and tax prepaid, you donot need to pay anything when item arrive you.

If you are from other country, you are possibily to be charged with tax when good arrive, as each country's local taxes, laws and import restrictions are peculiar to each individual country, we strongly advise you seek legal advice from your local customs or import broker concerning BEFORE you confirm you order.

I bought this tablet a few weeks back,I flashed it on Sunday and its working brilliant now.Huge improvements.
They have been able to add apps that wouldn't work before,cleared all the Chinese apps that were useless,better browser and have also added volume buttons.they are the main improvements but I'm sure there are plenty others.

Got the info on slatedroid,very simple process.

Would you recommend this over the Ainol Aurora IPS one? where did you buy?

[Mr E]

I'll never buy one of these crappy Chinese tabs again. You get what you pay for. Better off going for a named brand.

I have to rma a tablet to McBub (elf) that has started acting up. The speaker is busted so I have to use headphones, and the device reboots if I squeeze the housing on the left hand side. Maybe I'm unlucky, but I've learned my lesson.

i got this one a couple of weeks back for £114 with free delivery to the uk then had it sent on to me. in all it took 5 days from ordering to arrive here. it has gone up in price hugely though. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...ls_o03_s00_i00
its mostly going to be used by my 3yo to watch his favourite shows on long journeys.

Vat seems very high - how much was the tablet?
I don't see any Ainol Novo 7 Aurora for 165 Euro - unless they mixed the up the Dollar / Euro price.

I think it's best to order from Europe(eg AndroidSlates) or if ordering from the far east, a company who pay all import taxes. (eg DracoTex )

The new ainol novo 7 tornados looks good for a cheap tablet, only thing its missing is a hdmi port.

You can buy it here from aliexpress for $93(73e) delivered via dhl.

If you get caught by customs would be around another 17e onto that so 90e all in.

Not just that, there's no dedicated charging power port, just the USB. You must charge through the USB, which, with Ainols, takes quite a while.

Hopefully the screen digitizer issues are a thing of the past.

Lovely tablet otherwise, I'd pick this over the Elf any day.

Full order was 165. I pod a bit extra for postage to get it here quicker. It is the 16gb version aswell. Also purchased some accessories.

wouldnt of been so much if I had of used the invoice that was generated from the company I bought it from rather than using the paypal email. AAHHHH
