No Duty/VAT on it as it is under the required €23 including shipping.

Apparently there is a sitewide code for registering, of an extra 4% off. I didn't try that.

Yep

I'm not that well up on these boxes but is it one of the ones that can be flashed with OpenElec (thereby removing Android)?

Loadedscream · 16-12-2015 12:38AM

Great price

S905 is only a new chip, (It's the new version/upscale of the S805), so it probably will be possible, but hasn't happened yet (that I know of).

gripcasey · 16-12-2015 12:40AM

Thanks, Didn't need another one, but sure at that price!!

cuculainn · 16-12-2015 12:46AM

Wonder is the keyboard they are adding to the basket worth getting?

hysenberg · 16-12-2015 01:03AM

Hi guys, just a silly from a very unsavvy tech person. What do these boxes do, are they the same as getting a stream on your laptop and pluging into your telly but without the hassel? My brother was offered a droidstar titan t8 android smart TV box and a mouse for 100e, how could he use it?

cuculainn · 16-12-2015 01:08AM

Is there any snag with the shipping? I chose dhl 3-5 days and it only cost 1.46? Can this be right??

Ya it sounds stupidly low for the box and DHL shipping but its worth giving it a go.

Use PayPal, any hassle; file a chargeback.

A2LUE42 · 16-12-2015 01:33AM

I'm expecting at best 8th Jan. Hope I'm wrong and the are sooner. (with DHL option selected)

markc1184 · 16-12-2015 01:35AM

Has anyone got the discount code? Each time I try to add an email for it, the page times out.

Geekbuying are going for quite a while.
They are bigger in the U.S. and that's their target market. Europe is kind of an afterthought.
All of those reviews could apply to any Chinese store - Although I'm not a fan of Geekbuying either.
But at the price I went for it. If they take too long, I'll put in a Paypal dispute.

None of the Chinese sites are reliable/trustworthy. Or I've yet to find one that is.
Everyone will have problems at some stage if they use them (often).

I'm not defending them, but will say that I've an order in and won't be giving them much wriggle room - even with Christmas.

Just ordered one and the DHL option cost only €1.27 making a total of €20.11. Paid with PayPal so can get it back if there is any issue with extra taxes etc.

Vurnon San Benito · 16-12-2015 01:57AM

Out of stock already. Seemed a good deal, bugger!

JabbaTheHut · 16-12-2015 01:58AM

While looking for the DHL shipping it went to " Temporarily out of stock". Ah well.

foggy_lad · 16-12-2015 02:01AM

crabbypaddy · 16-12-2015 02:03AM

Thanks Allyall I ordered one, I imagine DHL stands for DlckHeadLevy and it will arrive in 6-10 weeks:D

Not defending them either but trust pilot scores are horseshlte, 99% of people will only go to the trouble of leaving a review if
a) they have a complaint or
b) they are incentivised with discounts or free stuff or salaried / paid to

Take a look at the reviews for the site we're not allowed talk about - 90% chinglish positive reviews from users with one review.

Also 4.1 is a high score on trustpilot
Royalmail 1.2 out of 10: https://ie.trustpilot.com/review/www.royalmail.com
Ebay.co.uk 2.0 out of 10: https://ie.trustpilot.com/review/ebay.co.uk
DHL.co.uk 1.8 out of 10: https://ie.trustpilot.com/review/www.dhl.co.uk
Ups.co.uk 2.8 out of 10: https://ie.trustpilot.com/review/ups.co.uk

15 years buying and selling on ebay I've had one unresolved issue so I can safely say that 2.0 out of 10 for ebay is bull****.

crabbypaddy · 16-12-2015 02:36AM

Price back up now 33% off instead of 73% off, wonder was it an acccidental or deliberate error to drive traffic and links.

GBX · 16-12-2015 10:15AM

Got one at $19.99 for the gf. Hopefully it ships ok, no hurry with it.

davidom2513 · 16-12-2015 10:23AM

Just what I was looking for. Gutted I missed it

VeVeX · 16-12-2015 11:23AM

I got in on this. Thanks to the OP.

VeVeX · 16-12-2015 03:23PM

Just got a mail, order cancelled. The price was a mistake.
