<MOD: Please see this forum post on DX.com regarding refund>

This is proving to be a hit on HUKD - http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/u2-mini-android-4-0-media-pl…

Can't say I know too much about these but for less than 20 bucks, surely worth a punt.

SoC – Allwinner A10 (Cortex A8) @ 1.5GHZ
System Memory – 1GB DDR3 RAM
Storage – 4GB NAND flash + microSD slot (upt to 32GB)
Video Output – HDMI
USB – USB 2.0 host port
WiFi – 802.11 b/g/n
Dimensions – 9.7 cm x 4.1 cm x 1.2 cm
Weight – 38g

Running Android ICS 4.0

For those like me, who didn't really know what this does, I found this explanation from HUKD pretty helpful -

You do not need it if you do not have Wireless internet and TV with HDMI input.
It is a media player that simply connects to one of your TV HDMI connector.
You can insert your memory card in and it will play movies on your TV.
You must have at least a Mouse to use it. Better get any wireless/wired mouse from ebay etc. Plug the dongle in USB input and it should work.
If your TV is not connected to the internet i.e you do not have smart TV it will convert it into Smart TV. You MUST have wireless router to connect as it does not have wired connection.
It has Google Android 4.0 also known as Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) Operating Sytem same as any mobile or Tablet with ICS
Like mobiles this will not make any calls as it does not have any Antenna or place for Sim Card that connets it to mobile networks
It will make your TV like a mini pc.

  the waiting game from DX huh?
  
  wait for the media player and refund at the same time. will see how it goes.
  - aimon on 11/01/2013 - 15:20
    
    Well no.
    
    Aren't they just saying they can't fulfill and will refund you? Nothing about sending it out to you.
  - ninefourtytwo on 11/01/2013 - 15:27
    
    "you may keep the item"
    
    Meaning… some people already got their order yet?
    
    "and we will refund the value of sku 00000 for you, for PayPal orders please expect 1 to 5 business days for refund to reach your account"
    
    Was waiting for 9 days to get this confirmation…
    How good is their reputation in refund issue?
  - ashwani2k on 11/01/2013 - 15:34
    
    Check the status. These orders have been canceled.

  i just got that too… quality issue?? sounds like an excuse
aimon on 11/01/2013 - 15:10

i got this one

We are writing for the mini android 4.0 Media Player -sku.145864 you've ordered lately, after receiving the most recent batch of media players, it came to our attention before shipment that some of these media players have a quality issue that may affect performance. We have tried to find an alternative source but no comparable units were available.

For more details, please refer to our forum:
http://club.dx.com/forums/forums.dx/threadid.1261177

We greatly apologize for trouble this has brought to you, you may keep the item and we will refund the value of sku 145864 for you, for PayPal orders please expect 1 to 5 business days for refund to reach your account, and Credit Card refund typically takes 3 to 7 days.

Thank you for your understanding and patience.

dkstorm on 11/01/2013 - 15:54

What I don't know, is that they're contradicting themselves in these mass emails. I just got the one stating that I'll get a full refund, but can keep the unit (hints that it has been shipped). Just before that, got a different email stating that it hasn't been shipped (which it hasnt according to the order history).

Two different stories, and they're possibly mass emailing everyone these contradictions. Poor service. For the record, I don't think it will be coming in for me.
- LHSolutions on 11/01/2013 - 16:06
  
  I'm asking myself the same question if they have shipped it already or not…
  Did you get a $5 voucher from them?
ninefourtytwo on 11/01/2013 - 16:07

Shame, it takes them 9 days to figure out they're doing it wrong.
I should've order G-Box or MK808 from other site :(
bummer

so I've just chatted to them online. This is the transcript:

Yarina: Welcome to DealExtreme, nice to meet you !
Yarina: Hello
Me: Hi Yarina
Me: Just wanting to confirm the status of my order, was one of those $20 Android HDMI dongles you had for sale
Yarina: Sorry for the trouble, pls check this link : http://club.dx.com/forums/forums.dx/threadid.1261177
Me: I first got an email to say that I can wait for it to come into stock
Me: Then that link says any existing orders will be refunded and i can keep the media player
Me: or that i'll be refunded and get a coupon code
Yarina: Sorry, it will be automatically cancelled and you will receive a full refund and a $5 USD coupon code to use toward the purchase of a related Android HD media player
Me: then I got an email saying it had been shipped and i can keep the media player
Me: just wanting to know, has it been cancelled or not?
Me: I am aware that it runs at 1ghz and not 1.5ghz. I am ok with this and still want the unit if possible
Yarina: It will be cancelled
Yarina: Sorry, it will be automatically cancelled
Me: so its not possible to get one of those that you have in the photos, even though it runs at a slower speed?
Yarina: Sorry, we cannot send it out
Me: i know its not your own personal fault, but its poor service then
Yarina: We apologize for any inconvenience brought to you.

Very dodgy. They have the stock, they showed the photos, but they still refuse to send out the unit. Awful service.

  It only shows they might have made a mistake with the price hence don't even want to send out the lower spec product.
  - dkstorm on 11/01/2013 - 16:26
    
    if that is the case, it would be less of a blow on their reputation to just state it was a pricing error, within a day of noticing the huge influx of orders, and not to pretend it was because of the wrong specs, lie to everyone, and send contradicting emails

Remind me of the ol'DWI ozbargain thread…
"WE DO NOT MAKE LOSS FOR ANY ORDER"

still very disappointed with the cancellation :(
someguy102 on 11/01/2013 - 16:26

I just talked to them on live chat. Not sure what's up, but I guess I'll wait a bit more.

Clare: Welcome to DealExtreme, nice to meet you !
me: hi
Clare: Please hold on for a moment while I check on that for you.
me: i have a question regarding an order
me: okay
Clare: Sorry for the delay in shipment. I have requested our staff to expedite your order. Would you please wait for a few more days? :)
me: so can you confirm the item has been sent?
me: hello?
Clare: We`ll ship your order ASAP. okay?
me: so the item has not been shipped?
me: i want to confirm whether the item can eventually be shipped
me: after reading an email sent to me, i'm not so sure
me: here's the link the email gave me http://club.dx.com/forums/forums.dx/threadid.1261177
Clare: Your order has been held because item 145864 is unavailable at this time. Are you willing to wait a few more days or would you like to change it to another item? If you do not wish to wait you can also cancel the order.
me: if i wait, will it become available?
Clare: We need 7-10 days to restock it
me: so guaranteed it will be available for shipping in 7-10 days?
Clare: Yes;)

Just got my cancellation, bit odd really. Post photos showing stock and then not ship even though people don't want it. I guess we'll see the reason when they re-list it.
Psychd on 11/01/2013 - 21:04

Hmm… So I'm still looking for a cheap media player for my TV. What's everyone getting now that this ones unavailable?
JR991 on 13/01/2013 - 11:31

Hi Guys

In terms of a substitute should my order not arrive (I got the same email everyone else has got), I'm looking at this or the MK802 II.

  ooooh! I saw that one, let us know how it goes :)
kiwipride on 14/01/2013 - 07:54

just got the refund email over night. strange how they sent out the first email saying they would send it anyway.
kiwipride on 14/01/2013 - 08:00

This is a shocking site. I live chatted because I couldn't log in as it was telling me that my email wasn't registered. So how the hell was I able to order in the first place?
muffinpup on 14/01/2013 - 09:47

they just refunded my money! they must be out of stock =(
- kiwipride on 14/01/2013 - 09:56
  
  No, they are not. Read above posts.
  - muffinpup on 14/01/2013 - 10:05
    
    oh :)
batrarobin on 14/01/2013 - 16:34

Guys, has anyone received the $5 credit ? and please share your ideas on which device are you going to spend your $5 credit on.
- kiwipride on 14/01/2013 - 17:38
  
  nope. no credit for me!
  - eecchhoo on 14/01/2013 - 17:51
    
    Mine appear in the Spam folder.
    
    Check there … or else wait.
    
    Even i have insisted to get the item sent but they still forcing to have it refunded.
    - batrarobin on 15/01/2013 - 02:06
      
      yes, that's right…mine was also sitting in the spam. cheers for sharing it with us.
- batrarobin on 15/01/2013 - 02:19
  
  I am thinking of buying GK802…but wait for the price to come down a bit…. The credit is valid till April anyway…
GMJ on 29/01/2013 - 10:38

Anyone else get store credit rather than a refund? I never got refunded on my CC so I looked and it says I
have store credit with them?

Think I'll be arguing that one…
BH1 on 08/02/2013 - 09:07

Curious Did DX end up delivering this to anyone?
On my email they said they were gonna refund ( which they did) & delivery the product as well.

This was posted 11 years 10 months 20 days ago, and might be an out-dated deal.
