USD USD 0. USD - I loaded the code from gunz and was in the checkout process and the price reverted back to usd Live chat is "waiting"… If geekbuying can't get their website working, I don't hold much hope on ever getting a delivery irrespective of price.
It appears that PiPO are increasing the wholesale prices so the price will rise from every vendor shortly.
I'll see if I can find out any more. Looks like the coupon was never really valid, according to what the response from their help was:. Thanks for your recent message. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience that may have been caused.
Thank you for your understanding and kind support. If any problem,please do not hesitate to contact us. Did you check my link above? The code is on their very own website so show them that in chat. Starting to feel disappointed that I purchased it with expedited shipping option. I thought the point was to receive the item sooner rather than later. Anybody know if their order from geek buying as shipped yet?
Can't really tell from my order details. I'm starting to regret buying from this mob. I changed my order well before the price went up and i have the chat transcript. I have a feeling I won't see my unit for another 2 months anyway.
Probably the last time I buy anything from GB. How did you get them to resolve it? Just emailed the CS back telling them that it's unacceptable considering I changed my order and have proof when it was still the same price. They got back to me saying no problem we'll be happy to change your order. I'm guessing it depends on WHEN you changed the order. If you're just trying to do it for the first time now then I can see why they may not play nice.
This is is happening to me as well.
Are there any avenues? Maybe we could lodge a paypal complaint? I just confirmed with gearbest on livechat that if I ordered the pipo today it would definitely be shipped within 5 business days. I find this very concerning as my preorder and my mum's preorders haven't shipped yet. I wonder if they are shipping those who pay full price first?
Has anyone who preordered actually had theirs ship? The OP received his bodge but gather it was part of his deal in reviewing the pipo and posting it on OzB, given the deal is now 24 days old, and his comment above. Although the code works, it appears unlikely the product will be available anytime soon. Freak tab users are complaining of orders being placed in December and still getting a run around. I have asked the OP to place a warning on his review and this offer so people don't get sucked in.
Good work VJ. We are not funding a start-up here. I have sent two emails to geek buying asking where my order is without a reply. Has anyone received their order or at least been notified that it has shipped?
Gearbest are emailing customers they are 2 weeks away from filling their orders. Pipomall official outlet for Pipo product has deleted the product from sale. Doesn't look promising, my guess is Pipo cannot fill the orders. Yeah same same … no updates? Just sent them a msg. Was going to wait for livechat but taking too long? Have you been guys been billed yet? Not shipped yet though. Have opened a paypal dispute. Advised they are being shipped with Netherlands Post but the delivery time on their site showed days.
Wont make the same mistake again with this lot. Just hope for all the rest of the buyers they are using a better delivery service than registered IMS! I cancelled my Gearbest order of Jan 17th earlier today after receiving a reply re expected shipping date of the order. Gist of it was;. We have no stock.
We don't know when new stock will be arriving. We don't know when your order will be sent.
With Chinese New Year shutdown looming and the expected arrival date being continually put back I think punters will be lucky to receive their Pipo X7 by mid March. Now kicking myself for not buying 2! Geekbuying now lists the pipo as being on sale and there is a timer indicating the deal ends in less the two hours.
Wonder what will happen at the end of the two hours. Got an email today saying mine has shipped with tracking number , I ordered about two hours after the deal was posted. We kindly ask that you wait for one or two days more before you receive the tracking no. They contacted me today saying unfortunately they don't have any stock and are not sure when they will be getting stock. Seriously considering cancelling my order and issuing a paypal refund.
My question is, are there any alternatives? Dont mind spending if it's worth it. Any news on when the HP stream mini will be available? Bought the white one with AU plug, about an hour after posting. Just got this when i asked what was happening. Thanks for placing orders with our company.
I am indeed sorry to tell you that the items you ordered are not avalible now, and it will restock on ,so would you like to keep waiting? Anticipate your early reply. Sorry for the inconvenience we caused. If you have any other questions,let me know,I will do my best to help you. An extra 11 days wait isn't the end of the world. In my mind they should be offering vouchers or the like to make up for their false estimates in delivery and stock availability. I ordered 11 Jan and the response to my query about no despatch within the time indicated when my payment was processed was:.
Any mention of complying with their side of what I took to be a contract was absent and what would have happened if I had not queried this?? We only ship some part of orders before than you ,hope you can understand. The factory may need more time for quality testing and ensuring the product can work prefect.
We would appreciate if you can understand this situation. Would you mind choosing the Sliver: Those are my emails from geek buying so far. Don't know if they're offering to change my order to the silver one or they're trying to trick me into canceling and paying more because they're now getting charged more by the supplier and they stand to lose money. HP stream mini is looking more appealing. I'm getting a bit tired of playing games with dodgy Chinese suppliers to save a few bucks.
Geek Buying look like they're heading down the path to Ozbargain oblivion. Are people getting the same response from Gear Best? I was told by geek buying there are around orders to be filled, and are being filled every week. If I don't see anything in the next fortnight I am cancelling and will buy the new raspberry pi 2 instead which will run a slim downed version of win 10 apps based.
Sorry I was not clear, my order was with Gear Best for silver if that matters and that was their response. Seems to me the same story is being repeated across a lot of suppliers perhaps too cosy with a supplier that cannot deliver? While I appreciate the benefits of a Linux or android based Baytrail media player, I am fairly locked into a Windows environment and this device ticked most of the boxes.
So I am still keen to understand if this is just a delay or there is no real hope of delivery before the Paypal refund period runs out. My order for a silver X7 was just shipped out today. Ordered about 2 hours after the OP posted the deal. Black or Silver? Both now show out stock. I ordered fairly early on then changed to a black one.
Order placed 5th Jan.
I placed my order on the 3rd Jan, and still it is showing as "Processing"…. Care to support our work with a few bucks? We'd really appreciate it! January 20, Messages: July 24, Hi Have been testing the Pipo x8 as the main client in my living room for about a week now, and like to share some preliminary experience.
In general it runs pretty good. No complaint's from the rest of the family Had an issue in the beginning, with long time channel change but disabled IPv6 on both the Pipo and Server, and channel change is down to a sec. Have seen some posts about running an external USB network dongle should improve a few things, and i tried that, but went back to the internal controller, since I didn't see any difference.
As soon as I disabled the IPv6 everything is smooth on my box Had no issues installing. Having an extra screen is nice, but not really a must for my part. But it's quite fancy to run Mediaportal on the 60" screen and the Windows tablet interface on the internal screen. A bit slow to start up, and I really prefere to use an remote to control MP My biggest consern atm, is the core temperature running a bit high after a while, but I guess that can be fixed quite easily. It's price is lower than just a general Win8 OEM lisense. Nogge69 , July 24, Like x 1. Log in or Sign up to hide all adverts.
November 1, Messages: July 27, Thanks for the report, i just ordered mine! What about standby? Does it work? But i will test it soon with mine Nogge69 , July 27, July 8, Messages: My X8 is arrived. What I have mentioned right now: It carries the Mediaportal 1. I have seen mentioned that it is dropping frames when it becomes hot. Perhaps additional cooling is a solution. Thanks for the replays, megahorst: What solution do you use in the moment? And how fast will it boot into mp from switching it on? Do you use multi boot? Is 32 gb enough with mp installed i ordered 64gb? I will wait now for my device, before asking more questions.
Of course i am interested in your experiences with x8, so do not stop posting infos. July 28, August 8, Upgraded my x8 with Win 10 today, and it worked like a charm. Used Rufus to write the Win 10, 32 bit iso to a USB stick and ran the upgrade from there All the drivers was present when done, and have not seen any showstoppers so far.
