I find with DHL from China they come in just as cheap if you are willing to take the 20€ customs hit, takes a week or just over but still under 100€ for mxiii 2gb or the likes.

China based seller - estimated "standard delivery from outside the UK ... Fri. 23 Jan. and Mon. 2 Feb." (likely DHL as per their other stuff). PO Box exclusion ie. no Parcel Motel.

Where would you get it in a week from China. Slowboat seems to take over 30 days for me!

DHL - costs a further 7 or 8€ from Gearbest or similar

I order the mx3 2gb on amazon on Wednesday. Dispatched by amazon for €85. Should be here today or Monday

Anyone know of a box that works over the 5ghz range?

You'll get an mx3 2gb on Amazon for about €83 delivered. I bought mine from gearbest with DHL shipping and Vat/Handling it was nearly the same.

Gearbest is only good if your happy to wait 4 weeks.

Hi all. Just wondering what anybody thinks of any of the Droidbox products. I know they are a bit more expensive but a few guys I work with recommend them and they deliver quickly and are only UK based if any problems arise.

CantGetNoSleep

For that price you are better off sticking with Amazon, I got one recently and the box + DHL cost 73e, customs was 28e. Gearbest is useful for cheaper boxes such as the MXQ (best entry level box imo) for 37 or cheaper gadgets like the MK808b.

This looks excellent, the Xiaomi Mi Box Mini will be on eBay for close to €50 with a the markup but it's a classy little device. A China to UK adapter needed (I'd use an extension lead with it). "For just 199 RMB ($32), those in China will be able to get their hands on this crazy box along with a Bluetooth remote and a 1.5 m HDMI cable."

Ah well. Looks like Post NL is out for future stuff for me, last two boxes stopped.

Customs Duty            - €    0.00

Box was a 2gb MXIII, paid €58 for it so €78.99 total.

They must be out for the box's big time. I get a lot of stuff in from Asia in general and some big packages that scream pick me out get through but a small box gets pulled, definitely a lot more doesn't get through the net as in years gone by

dahat

I wonder if it went via China post rather than to Netherlands, I'd say anything from China via NL is being pulled..

Just gotta try other ways to escape the Custom man!

I received email from Shenzhen Shiningworth Technology Co Ltd claiming they were the original manufacturer of MX, M8 & M8S.
I bought an M8S S812 2GB off them for $85 after.

Tried all them, and I'm getting an operation aborted message.

Did you wipe user data/factory reset and clear cache partition?

I had that issue on a few roms but it turned out I was unzipping the file wrong before flashing. I was trying to flash the zip file rather than the 3 separate files.

@Allyl
Should a wipe like that be done before flashing a ROM? Or after?

dahat wrote: »

Usually that issue can be caused from an update/rom not installing properly, and it's stuck.
Wiping it and deleting cache partition should kick it out of that state.
Some boxes (I haven't seen it in a while) can be update O.T.A and if in the process when you decide to flash, it may happen. So it's better to wipe/delete before installing the rom, I do it after too (no real benefit), but I think that's just out of habit.
