    Tried TSB, Ulster Bank, AIB and Revolut.

    No joy with any of them.

    Any workarounds?

    This has been on sale for the same price on aliexpress for around 3 weeks ish.
    The 2GB/4K version is apparently coming out soon..

    title on the dh site says 4k HDR but output resolution on the specs says FHD or 1080p
    is this 4k stick or just HD stick?

    There is supposed to be a 4K version of this launching soon so it could be a mix up on the sellers behalf but I doubt it.

    I'm personally holding out for the 4K version, differences will be a better quad core processor, 2GB of RAM and USB-C for power. Rumoured price is about €79.

    Tried twice with Mastercard credit card and was refused. Didn't even get to the verification page

    Worked first time with UB Visa Debit though

    I'll try again with UB. If no joy I'll forget it.
    It's 24e with eglobal but they want 20 postage on order below 50.

    tried revolut, asked me to confirm the purchase through the revolut app, did that and then it was declined. tried my PTSB credit and debit cards and both were declined. after the revolut attempt the discount code could no longer be applied.
    pity, looks a good alternative to the firestick

    If you use Gmail you can set up a new account with dhgate and just insert a full stop somewhere in your address, you will still receive the email but dhgate will accept it as new and you can use the code again.

    Joebloggs@gmail.com
    Joe.bloggs@gmail.com
    Joeb.loggs@gmail.com

    You get the idea.

    Perhaps trying enabling online transactions in your revolut app if it's not already on?

    Argos Ireland sell firesticks (not 4k version) they aren't on the site, and I'm guessing it's because they're technically not supposed to be selling them here, but they 100% have them in their stores.

    Just a note, this worked with my Visa revolut card but wouldn't work on my mastercard revolut card. both on the same account. Maybe that's the issue for some people?

    I gave up and signed up for Skrill. With their 1% charge it still came up as under €27

    Thanks OP

    Cheers I didn't think to check their shops, I ordered it on Currys.ie yesterday, why are Argos so cagey, Curry's have it on their Irish site, is it not legal?

    Log in and check the payment status in the account. The email might refer to items you added to the cart previous times.

    Is the only real difference between this and the mi box that the mi box has more storage and a usb port?
