    I bought an Amazon Blink system two weeks ago .
    Yesterday I received a €1.90 refund due to an adjustment in import fees.
    All very seamless.

    Have had a few refunds and getting refunded in gbp which the credit card changes back to eur and charges fx. Wish they would just add it as a gift card

    When I ask for a radio station sometimes itll play from its own speaker and other times it'll turn on the tv and use the tv speakers. Seems totally random

    You have to set the default music playback speaker in the Alexa app.

    I have my cube set to voice respond for general use but playback on a stereo paired set of Echo Dots.

    Yes, on prime day they were 25.
    I think it was discussed before on another thread that there may be a new model due out sometime this year. Most definitely looks like a newer cube on the cards at those prices to reduce the stock.
    You had to factor in the parcel motel fees as well. Can't do parcel motel now.

    Maybe try set it to a Bluetooth speaker if you have a spare or soundbar. The internal speaker is not a good one for music either way
