    A lot of people were cancelled in the last two hours. Also apparently a lot of people who ordered the €20 tablet, have received them.

    One guy got this:

    Was just told again for the 2nd time today that this item is very unlikely to ever be in stock again, and was advised to cancel. I chatted with Lee earlier today and marina just now.

    I wonder why everyone seems to be getting differing info? Is it because some of us have been selected to receive them while others have been effectively cancelled but just not told about it yet? Or do the customer service guys just not know theirs asses from their elbows?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,170 ✭✭✭messinkiapina


    Just got another email saying my tablet is still on backorder, would I like to cancel etc.

    Looking on another forum, some people are claiming that theirs have shipped. Hard to know.

    I chatted to some dude in dx yesterday. He said he couldn't say if they would ship at all, but said some of them have shipped, and he advised me to wait it out if I could.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,381 ✭✭✭✭Allyall


    People are getting them.

    And one guy got this -
    Dear Customer,

    Sorry for the delay in shipment.

    After checking, your item sku255065 is sold out. But pls do not worry, your order is in the list of the last restock. Please wait for a few more days, the shipment will be arranged soon once the products arrive at our warehouse. You will receive a notification email once the parcel is shipped.

    Your support and understanding will be greatly appreciated.

    Best regards.

    So there is another wave coming? At least one last one.

    So was it all a big scam in the end ?

    I have dealings with them last year over an order I didnt let it go or let them forget about it.

    Ordered 2 ordered they messed it up..3 months last I got them orders twice....

    sweet but the battle last 3 months...was it worth it kinda

    It's frustrating because we keep reading how some people are having them shipped. Have any Irish customers had such a message yet?

    Nothing here. I'd guess it's a very small fraction of people who've had their orders shipped. I've more or less given up hope, but I'm going to wait it out for another while anyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,381 ✭✭✭✭Allyall


    If you cancel, you can expect to have your refund within 15 minutes. In some cases the refunds are immediate. So it may be worth holding out. Although i think we may have been a little late. We'll know soon enough anyway.

    anybody here anymore back from them?

    I was talking to Gavin today and he said it was the same story as the ICOO and CUBE. No stock yet and no idea when stock would be in. He guessed a week.

    If you talk to them on live chat they will "upgrade your order to the highest level of priority". I don't think that that actually means anything though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,381 ✭✭✭✭Allyall


    I was going to post last night/this morning, but was wrecked. Loads of people updated.
    Gavin/Mary/Summer/Brandon - and more lovely Asian names talking to a few people. Some people were told 9 days for more stock. Running out the door, I'll post some more info when i get the chance.

    I'm going to get back on to chat, as it seems it may make a difference.

    Did they cancel your order? Last time I chatted with them they were trying to convince me to cancel.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,316 ✭✭✭✭the_syco


    May grab this next month; it'd be good for long train/plane journies.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 191 ✭✭jontr

    Wow, i'm glad i wasn't that service agent. It's completely OTT to abuse a service rep over the phone because you want a misprice honoured! I look forward to hearing your call with Joe Duffy

    I haven't yet contacted them about this (i think).

    Where is it available for around €88 please mate?

    Cheapest I've seen it is DinoDirect for about €107.

    Just be aware that there is a batch of this console doing the rounds that have processors clocking a bit lower than the advertised speed. Some people are suggesting that this is the reason for the price drop at most sites. Might be a firmware issue than a hardware one, don't know for sure.

    http://boards.dingoonity.org/jxd-devices/jxd-7800b-cpu-speed/?PHPSESSID=mqrda4vfhnnqqkq1ibu0fn0690


  • Posts: 7,320 ✭✭✭ Veda Low Sympathy


    Yeah DinoDirect have been doing them at that price since mid November I think. That's why I was surprised at the €88 quoted here! :) I wouldn't trust DinoDirect really though. If I was going to go down the Hong Kong route then I'd pick Willgoo. Isn't Willgoo the best since they test each one (allegedly)? Of course they're dearer as well!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,170 ✭✭✭messinkiapina


    I've never ordered anything from wilgoo, but they seem to be popular with the guys on the handheld forums. If they do test them, maybe you can ask them to ensure the processor is clocking the advertised 1.6ghz too.

    Has anyone else got this message on their DX order page now?

    "23/12/2013 04:09:23 Order Received Order has been created, awaiting payment."

    Looks like it's just some glitch on their site. I fully expect these to be back in stock within a couple of weeks for 3 times the price btw!

    Sorry, i was away for Christmas. I didn't see your post until now.
    It was DinoDirect with Birthday VIP promotion. I'm not sure if it still works. Way too tired to check right now. It may have been a glitch some of the android forums are/were doing it. If it does still work, it would be cheaper, now with the exchange rate.

    Sign up to DD and make your Birthday tomorrow (For example)
    Then go to the VIP club area. Choose VIP3 (1 month $5.99 (€4.40)).
    wait 30 minutes for that account to be updated in VIP3. Then logout and reconnect/login.
    go to http://www.dinodirect.com/free-birthday-gifts/ , click on VIP3 to get the $30 off.

    Add the console to basket
    (don't bother to look for coupon codes, they don't apply to this product).

    At the bottom, choose secure checkout (even if you pay by paypal)
    complete the info. It is advised that you choose the prepaid Deposit of $1 down, it speeds up the process.
    When choosing payment, choose gift card. Enter the gift card code and details/passcode in account then choose gift card.
    Choose Paypal: $109.99 (€80.43)

    The order validates by the staff, so after you have received it or are convinced it is shipped, go to your account -> vip club, and disable auto-pay.
    You can choose "non-recurring" option at the start which should be enough, but it is better to be safe...

    So to recap. VIP 1 Month = €4.40 + Gamepad after reduction (€80.43) = €84.83.
