    I've been getting MXQs for quite a while. Initially from Asia but the gamble with customs and the 4 week wait pushed me towards Amazon. 5 day turnaround and no customs hassle. I have noticed that the Amazon offerings are markedly heavier than the chinese offerings. I know they all originate from there, but the build quality, and most likely components used differ greatly from one supplier to another. €46 for a MXQ with Rii keyboard for €46 from a 'no messing around supplier' is about as good as you're likely to get when quick shipping is required.

    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

    Linkylink

    Revenue don't seek payment of VAT liabilities of €6 or less, so factoring that in it brings the value of goods you can import up to €26. VAT @ 23% on €26 comes to €5.98.
    2. Non-collection of Small Amounts of Import Charges

    Where the customs duty on a consignment of goods amounts to less than €10 it will not be collected. Similarly, VAT liability amounting to less than or equal to €6 will not be collected. No similar rule applies in the case of excise duty which will always be collected if the goods are liable to excise duty.

    These can be bought on Aliexpress for around €27. Even if caught for VAT it would be aound €33.50. I've seen a few places in Ireland selling these at totally rip off prices. Some companies even having them branded with their own logo and selling them for up to €150.

    Service charge is €7 on top of that and probability of getting caught would be 90% plus.

    No way is there a 90% chance of being caught.

    if you use DHL or the likes there is.

    Its definitely below 30-40% with snail mail, never been caught yet and have 30-40 items received at this stage.
    I've had a few get lost, get refunded for them only for them then to show up!

    Do not use DHL for anything from China.

    If your supplier in China doesn't specifically list the shipping cost on the invoice they use their current Ireland to China price for a similar package to calculate the applicable VAT.

    Depends on where you based I guess. I'm based in Sligo and everything this and last year has been checked, opened and have asked me for receipt of they did not find include invoice in package.

    All of it was via snail mail. Dublin and other busy regions may not check all post yet. There is simply too much money being lost by the revenue and they are taking action to deal with it.

    I've stuff from aliexpress arriving regularly, at least once a month. Most have been under the limit, all have been marked as gift or worth a few euro and I've never had one opened. Some were big enough packages too despite being cheap things, as big as the box for a phone or one of these boxes anyway.

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

    I saw this offer on Facebook and their thread was full of complaints. People saying they were second hand/refurbished boxes. And that was backed up by one guy who said when he got his it had someone else's facebook account logged in! Lots of complaints about them constantly locking up or totally dying after a matter of days. Wouldn't go near them!

    I've ordered a few of the new MXQ pro quickplays with the S905 chips, 2ghz, to check them out. Hoping to move to them if they are reliable.

    The MXQ Pro Quickplay was USD 39.43 after a 5% discount code I found somewhere for Geekbuying. Great boxes, very happy with them. The other MXQ Pro's don't appear to have bluetooth or gigabit Ethernet which this does and is only about $2 more, so well worth it.

    Ive been looking at some kind of android box for ages, analysing them too much!!
    So ive just bought one of these, barely read the spec, but sure they all do more or less the same job.
    Thanks for the tip!

    I appreciate we have an android forum, but trying to get a definitive answer to the below and thought I would try here.. any thoughts ? thanks

    http://www.ebay.ie/itm/M9-KODI-S905-...EAAOSwvgdW4XZb

    it seems to be the 9+ is this a new version ?
    Also I wanted to ask what is the real advantage of 2gb ?
    I know this is only 1gb would I be better off with the 8+ version with 2gb or this one ?

    Clearly I am lost here, so any help would be greatly appreciated
