Not as cheap as the last deal on geekbuying but cheaper than the one in still waiting for from JoyBuy!

Last deal which was pretty well liked:

Xiaomi Mi Box S - US $59.99 (~AU $83.25)

Would have bought this of I didn't just buy my NVIDIA Shield recently..I don't game so this would have been sufficient?

This is a flash sale so not sure how long it will last..

  • Im still waiting on my Joybuy tablet too, from Singles day i imagine?
    Its shipped, i can work that out, everything else i ordered from JoyBuy that day arrived over the past 4 weeks. So annoying.
    Add to that my new iPad Pro on backorder from Optus and this tablet teasing is getting really annoying!

    Edit: Latest update doesnt look good :(
    "Guangzhou, returned, voted properly" - 广州市,退回 妥投

    • That’s happened to me. Apparently because of battery.

      They will resend it once it is return but I am still waiting.

    • Yep singles day :(

  • Excellent tablet, I got one from the geekbuying deal last month.
    I flashed the xiaomi.eu MIUI 10 ROM and it's been great so far.

    • is it snappy/smooth animation in menus? and is there random crashes like all the other cheapo tabs?

      • Yeah it's quite snappy and performance is great. Also doesn't feel cheap, feels more like an ipad mini especially with the laminated screen.

        • Side load all Google play apps?

          • +1

            @Nalar: No need to sideload apps, the xioami.eu ROM comes with Google Play Store pre-installed.

            • @fastnet: does the EU rom support OTA?

              • +1

                @wisc: Yeah it supports OTA updates.

            • @fastnet: that's not strictly speaking correct, if you don't know/do not want to unlock + flash then yeah you need to sideload Google stuff.

      • Nice and snappy. Its got a Snapdragon 660 which is pretty decent CPU/GPU, and its much faster than almost every other mid-ranger, thrashes the $450 Samsung Galaxy Tab A (2018) for example.

    Thanks, been looking for one for my daughter, purchased… along with a cover.

  • note of interested the xiaomi 4K drone is also on sale…

  • This is the CN rom. Can we just flash the global ROM on it ?

    • see above…

  • I bought the 4plus on gear best. Came w chinese rom, no Google play services.

    I like the tablet but wasn't aware of the lack of Google play out of the box.

    I've since installed it, but it occasionally complains about some permissions. I've tried setting all the permissions.

    The other thing is, i can't have long press home button open Google assistant. I can only invoke Google after a recent update, not the assistant.

    Another this is MIUI 10 has disabled Live Wallpaper.

    These are only little things.

    • You should try unlocking it and installing xiaomi.eu ROM which is optimised for Global use with Google Play already pre-installed etc. and all the Chinese stuff removed.

      I am in the same boat as you, can't get calender to work properly for some reason, but as soon as I unlock (you have to wait 2 weeks for some retarded reason) all should be well. I'll put up with a bit of jank for the price, the speed/build are amazing for the $$$.

    "Delivered" in the title is a little misleading as shipping adds AU$25 (if purchasing 1x) - this applies to the Mi Box S

    • I thought that was just me.

  • deal expired? price looks back to normal.

  • mine still hasn't shipped… :(

    the case did though.. pretty annoying! - not shipped in almost a week!

    • same here :(. looks like it'll probably arrive mid jan.

      • would have been nice if it had arrived before xmas for a gift…

        I've just clicked the button that makes it faster, but who knows if it actually does anything…

        • I pressed it on friday and it showed up again today, pressed it again. Don't think it does anything haha.

          • @iuselect: maybe just moves you to the top of the queue when they do get stock to ship them out… :)

            • @wisc: we can only hope!

            • @wisc: day 3 and the dispatch faster button is back..

            • +1

              @wisc: just contacted gear best and they said they are waiting for stock, should be packed and shipped in 7-15 days… good that they have a flash sale on stock they don't have and not tell anyone :/

              • @iuselect: Yet in the link they have 165 pcs left…

  • STILL not shipped!!!! >:(

    • +1

      Did the button make you feel better?

      • up until i contacted support and they told me it would be 1-2 weeks…same thing they told jamestan14…

        • So the button is a lie?

  • still not shipped…getting close to 4 weeks now, i gotta say, pretty disappointed in gearbest, and this will certainly make me look elsewhere before buying from gearbest again.

    • yep, same here. 16th business day and still nothing. their live chat said it will be in stock on 14th

      • yep, they have told me 7-10 days, about 3 times now… and each time its elapsed, i just raised a ticket, as its been a month now, I'll be very hesitant to order from them again in the future.

        • +1

          first they told me 14th would have stock, now it's the 21st. what a joke.

  • Sigh, looks like its another delay…

    "As long as the Supplier provides the item on time we will have it shipped out by Feb 04 - Feb 07, 2019."

    pathetic, 2 months almost!

    if they did a million in sales, at 5% interest - that's like almost 10k interest for two months…

  • is anyone still waiting or received for theirs? or did they cancel there order?

    bit pissed…

    • Cancelled on the 15th of Jan and got a full refund and bought it off Aliexpress and received it on the 24th of Jan. Had to pay about $40 more but I was sick of waiting. Really happy with my tablet.

      If you do cancel, I recommend raising a paypal dispute, their chat support on their site is useless.

      Edit: never ordering through GearBest ever again after this awful experience.

      • hey, thanks for the feedback, i might do the same, pisses me off they have had my 7 y/o daughters money for so long.

        if i dont get anything by the end of the week, Im gonna do the same i think.

        probably using other peoples money to keep the company afloat.

        • +1

          I know how you feel.

          If you are interested in getting it from Aliexpress, I'd recommend getting it from the Mi France Store. I paid for DHL shipping so it arrived a bit quicker.

          https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Original-Xiaomi-Mi-Pad-4-PC-…

          Good luck!

          • @iuselect: hey thanks for the link, I've gave it two months (as of today) and because they haven't delivered, I've raised a case with paypal, they responded immediately and have said they will provide a refund…and asked if that was OK, pretty pathetic that's for sure.

            The ali express one goes for 6 more days so hopefully i can buy before then when the gearbest case is settled - thanks for the link.

            • +1

              @wisc: All good. GearBest refunded me within a day so you should be okay. Aliexpress you will have to pay GST so it works out to be about $270 I think. I didn't care anymore so just paid it.

              • @iuselect: FFS, having no luck with getting one of these, about give up! ordered from Ali express…

                paid on the 12th, paid extra for express shipping… still not shipped!

                whats the point in paying extra then they don't even ship it for a week!?

                • @wisc: sorry to hear, could be because chinese new year just finished. maybe best to contact the aliexpress store.

                  • @iuselect: Oh FFS!2.5 months and now this…

                    "Dear friend,

                    getting this tab has been a nightmare!

                    (Ordered though the one you actually got it on, so what a load of BS.)

                    • @wisc: GearBest are a joke. Demand a refund/raise a paypal dispute. They garbage support tried to offer me a store credit zzz. Glad you got it from aliexpress though.

                      • @iuselect: I didn't! That was from Ali Express!!!
