    My Money is on a misprice/cancelled order. But for €12.21 I couldn't not try this.
    You could even pay the extra €9.50 with DHL and see if they arrive sooner, and then open a dispute if need be.

    The seller has a good rating.

    EDIT - Buyer Protection is automatic and after looking around quite a bit, it seems to be very safe. Verified on quite a few sites.

    Not the most high spec phone but even still it's dirt cheap for what it is. Hopefully we get it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,778 ✭✭✭Big Pussy Bonpensiero


    Just went for it.. When it's too good to be true it normally is, but fcuk it, for €12 it's worth the risk.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 140 ✭✭DylanK


    went on that page 1 min just to check out what phone it was, 1 min later im thanking you OP for posting this, with the order confirmation email in my inbox! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 43 Wellactually


    Yep took a chance too, worth the risk for a little over a tenner :)

    Thanks :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 813 ✭✭✭CaSCaDe711


    Too good to be true ? Maybe I'm reading it wrong (has been a long day) but those benchmark pics don't correspond with the phone's description.

    5mp vs 13.3mp camera.
    1GB RAM vs 2024MB (2GB) :confused:

    But it's only a few quids, so worth a bet : )

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,970 ✭✭✭long_b


    Are people paying via credit card ?
    Or does it take PayPal?

    Wonder which is safer ?

    Misprice it should be US $166.7 not US $16.67 .
    I doubt china seller will honor.

    I've used AliExpress loads of times, you're totally safe.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 43 Wellactually


    Its also listed on DHGATE, but for alot more, 300usd.

    Heard about that particular site before and asked a friend in China, supposidly its the equivilant of Ebay, or a Chinese Ebay.

    Never did buy the item after so cant say how genuine they are, but hopefully we got lucky :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26 pingg10

    Thanks OP. Just ordered. Now lets wait and see.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,817 ✭✭✭pebbles21


    Wonder how long before someone buys 20 of them and wonders why they didn't get them !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 226 ✭✭chopsey


    Thanks OP, i always fall for these but someday i'll get lucky :)

    Order Processing Time: 5 Days

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 202 ✭✭encore1


    Just ordered one there! Will do as a back up or even as a gift for someone (assuming of course that its not a misprint)!

    Thanks OP!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,613 ✭✭✭Big Nelly


    I guess this will work with 3g and not 4g networks in Ireland?

    Can youo add a micro sim into it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,709 ✭✭✭✭Cantona's Collars


    Orders will be cancelled,I ordered some stuff from a seller on Aliexpress that was mis-priced recently & got notification that the orders were cancelled and I was refunded.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 326 ✭✭manutd83


    Ordered 1 for me and the misses, doubt we will get them but worth a try


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,227 ✭✭✭Sam Mac


    Going to go for this! has anyone else paid by visa debit?can't see an option to pay by paypal, am I missing something?

    Just paid by visa debit (not through paypal) and order went through fine.

    I'm in, eventually one of these threads will pay off. I'll finally be able to say "Everything's coming up Milhouse"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,734 ✭✭✭zarquon


    Aliexpress use an escrow type payment service so it will be refunded. There is no way this will be honoured so ii'll give it a miss


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,374 ✭✭✭twirlagig


    I'm a sucker for these alerts! :O
    Just ordered one...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 601 ✭✭✭alexanderomahon


    Done fingers crossed

    At least they are in china so the usual a$$es who decide to order 100 will at the best case scenario for them get caught for lots of customs duty and VAT.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,734 ✭✭✭zarquon



    Is most definitely a scam

    1st Check = Is it too good to be true?

    If the answer is yes, move on and don't waste your money

    Actually on further analysis, looking at the original RRP of the products, they are most certainly referencing cheap chinese counterfit versions of the listed products, so even more reason to walk away. Even if you were to win you still are not getting a great deal.

    I love these threads, usually worth the couple of quid just to see if it actually arrives, but I'm not going to bother with this one, can't see it being honored.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 5,575 ✭✭✭AlanS181824


    Poor Chink :eek:

    Personally I dont see it as such, see it no different to Yank, or Brit, Or Paddy, in fact when he sees all the orders will probably say dumb Paddys and have a chuckle.

    Somehow though, I dont think if you did get a phone through his mistake and expsense would return it or give him a second thought thereafter.

    By all means though feel free to right the wrongs of the world from your armchair but some of us have more enjoyable things to be doing at this hour ;)
