tahaea1 Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Since when xunlong started selling boards on gearbest? Anyone bought from here before? http://www.gearbest.com/boards-shields/pp_314651.html 1
slinde Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 I have bought from Gearbest 50+ times. I find them trustworthy and they deliver what they promise. If there is any trouble they have a customer service that works quite well for being a chinese webshop. Sometimes there are misunderstandings but they usually sort it out in the end. I will put in a order for an Orange Pi PC, today the price following your link is $8.57! 1
tkaiser Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 I will put in a order for an Orange Pi PC, today the price following your link is $8.57! Only when ordering from the Chinese warehouse and not any more ($11.40 currently). Price is rising (I asked Jean-Luc from cnxsoft whether Gearbest is trustworthy, he posted the promo and now we can watch the price increase every few minutes )
slinde Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Only when ordering from the Chinese warehouse and not any more ($11.40 currently). Price is rising (I asked Jean-Luc from cnxsoft whether Gearbest is trustworthy, he posted the promo and now we can watch the price increase every few minutes ) Yes, the price is when ordering from the chinese warehouse and it will not be sent until the end of July. I managed to order 2 pcs without problems. Price is still showing $8.57 when I refresh the page http://www.gearbest.com/boards-shields/pp_314651.html If you can wait it is a bargain!
hojnikb Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Oh well, looks like i'm getting another one Now this is truly a throwaway price. I mean, some cases cost more than that.
tahaea1 Posted July 15, 2016 Author Posted July 15, 2016 I promised myself that I won't buy another sbc that doesn't have gigabit lan but $8.50 for a PC isn't something you can resist I guess..
slinde Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Gone down to $8.54 now! http://www.gearbest.com/boards-shields/pp_314651.html
rufik Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Yep, I've just bought one, I couldn't resist also :-)
slinde Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Well, the fun is over. Now price is up to $19.99. It was fun while it lasted.
slinde Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 Well, today Gearbest refunded my order without explanation. I guess it was to good to be true...
tkaiser Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 Well, today Gearbest refunded my order without explanation. I guess it was to good to be true... Did you also get a voucher worth $5 with the refund as reported on cnx-software.com? If all of you got this then this was a really great 'flash sale' producing a lot of unsatisfied customers and costing Gearbest a lot of money... strange. And regarding 'to good to be true': absolutely. OPi PC is available for $18.50 (Xunlong's Aliexpress store including shipping) so saving $10 sounds really like 'mistake' (or to good to be true )
hojnikb Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 My order is still processing, so i guess i was quick enough...
slinde Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 Did you also get a voucher worth $5 with the refund as reported on cnx-software.com? They promised me 250 points as compensation: "For this inconvenience,we will send you 250 points(equal to 5usd)as a compensation." I haven't seen them yet but I believe they will turn up eventually.
rufik Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 Mine's been shipped out Dear Customer, Thanks for shopping with GearBest.com. Your order number is Wxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and we have shipped your order out today. Orange Pi PC H3 Quad-core Learning Development Board Mali400MP2 GPU 1GB DDR3 Support 100M LAN 1
David Van Cleef Posted August 5, 2016 Posted August 5, 2016 Just a note, received mine today, along with some ws2812b bars I'd been meaning to order from china anyhow. Packaging was identical to one from Xunlong.
snowbody Posted August 5, 2016 Posted August 5, 2016 I received mine today, some sticker with european regulation articles 25 and 26 attached to it... but I did not have to pay any extra money, which is ....... pretty cool! Thank you for the tip! (I'll put it to some good use and won't mind the magic smoke )
