    Looks like it may have been an error

    The "regular price" has just gone up from £20.94 to £29.97, meaning the 44% discount brings it to £16.76 instead of £11.71

    Very good price if legit. When buying one of these you should budget for an air mouse remote control too as the remotes that come with them are not user friendly at all.

    Don't forget customs for VAT also as it would be coming for China, 23% of the price plus An Posts €7 charge. I don't think its worth getting with just 1GB of Ram however.

    Even if declared at that price. Would customs assume its marked at a lower price to avoid being charged and then hit ya with a fee??

    I only got stung for customs once on a boxset I ordered from Play.com from Jersey Islands back in 2010, I had to pay the Postman or she couldn't deliver it to me.I presume if your not there they let a note or something to collect it in the post-office and pay the VAT etc.

    Nope.

    VAT = €0.00
    Duty = €0.00

    As long as the value of the goods incl shipping / insurance is below €22 no VAT is due

    1 GB of Ram is small enough these days all right.

    Generally once under €26 approx you'll avoid customs duties. American dollar prices seem cheaper to order so revolut card would be handy. Tempted to order a couple of these for family and friends addresses. Not used this crowd before though. Some nasty reviews but often unhappy customers only make such efforts unless influenced by motivations such as Amazons.... You're generally covered by PayPal though if item is faulty you're stuck with a hefty bill to register post it back to China. Would love to know others experiences with this crowd.

    Chromecast is very limited in comparison with something like this (not saying this one in particular just in general).

    Depends on where its coming from and if there is an invoice accompanying it. With an post the last few times I received a letter requesting a copy of the invoice to prove the value. On submitting that they let me know how much was due. With this reply:

    "Thank you for your eMail. Customs Charges are due on your package. The charges and the expected delivery date are set out below. The charges can be paid to the postperson on delivery by cash or cheque/postal order made payable to“ An Post”. If you are not in when An Post call, they will leave a note in your letterbox advising where to collect your parcel and pay the charges. Any queries or questions relating to the delivery of your package should be directed to An Post Customer Service at 1850 575859 quoting your Track and Trace number."

    I must say out lovely local postman was very embarassed and uncomfortable collecting cash from me, I felt sorry for him.

    Hoverboard and usual China delivery issues aside - TomTop look very shifty.

    I have a Chromecast, really can only utilise Youtube, Plex and Netflix from it. With something like this, there's the whole world of Kodi easily available, which offers a lot more flexibility.
