    Hey all,

    My old Xiaomi A1 bit the dust so I got into a panic and went to buy a new phone. Ended up buying from Xiaomi.ie in a blind haze and only after did I realise how silly I was.

    There's no Paypal checkout and no way to log in/check or cancel an order, nothing.

    I got an order acknowledgement email but no communication since. I emailed them from the contact for on their site 2 days ago and have heard nothing back.

    I feel I may have been a goose.

    Interesting how another whois site gives letshost.ie as the domain registrar

    https://www.whois.com/whois/xiaomi.ie

    Guessing they are hosting it on namecheap.com server

    I bought a phone from them before Christmas. Phone was delivered in a few days. No hassle.
