    I would look at it as an omen. The revenue think the package is worth over 26euro. You might have a winner!

    I was keeping an eye on my lucky bags progress using the tracking number. I became aware on 3rd April that the package had been sent to Customs.

    I preemptively sent them a PDF of my PayPal invoice without waiting for their notification letter.

    Seems that Customs have an Easter backlog as I only got the letter yesterday, followed promptly by an email confirming package would be delivered without charges.

    If the invoiced value is under €22 (we all paid c.€18) then Customs should release the goods without charge.

    I know mine contains an IP camera as that's what is listed on the Customs letter. The letter gives clear enough instructions on what to do. If you didn't use PayPal then a screen grab from DX website with the value will suffice.

    Considering most IP cameras on DX are $40-60 I'm pretty happy with my outlay.

    If you work that out, let me know. I am thinking of making a complaint. It might be slow going but they have been known to be decent in the past I think.

    Its most likely PoE if it doesnt include a PSU. It'll cost you another €20 to get a PoE kit though...

    Yep everything was in an unopened box. That's remote control, cables and power supply.
    All good so far!
    Will test as soon as I get home after work!

    We have a winner!!!

    My real dissapoinment is that I ordered 2 bags and got the same in each. I now see that there was indeed variety. Next time I will leave a few days between orders!

    Did you get a chance to review it ? I took a look around, I'm afraid the projector is 320x240 pixels. On the plus side I guess its good for retro gaming or some kind of raspberry Pi project.

    Yep it works fine and in almost every way its a must have... except for the fact the resolution is so low despite it having a VGA, USB, SD card AND HDMI input.... Fail.

    For low res stuff its perfect however so perfectly fine for pi.. Maybe. Wish they had a 1080p version for around the same price!!!

    So I got a revenue letter asking for proof of purchase as well, which was fine, and the letter said it was a "projector", so I hope I get the same!
    Should be delivered today. Would be a win, cause we just discussed not getting a TV in the dining room, but it would come in handy for keeping the kids entertained the odd time...

    Well if they do have 1080s, I suspect they wouldn't put them in their lucky bags! :)

    Here is one of these projectors in action -
