Yeah $12.71 is what it showed me. Did you maybe accidentally ask for faster shipping? I think mine is going to take a long time to get here.

As if now it says 6 days just to ship. With 10/31 as the deliver by date.

Same here. PayPal connected to bank account. No worries will try tomorrow

No the order didnā€™t go thru because they wanted still 63.57 for shipping. I have set up another account with them just for this. Did a chat with them and that was an experience! They stated I needed to negotiate with the shipper for better rates. I assume all of you are getting free. Did anyone have to go thru Trade Assurance?

I guess you arent in the continental US because the shipping price is crazy high. Or there is a big mistake somewhere.

I am only getting free shipping because of a Alibaba new member promotion. Everyone else is paying.

Trade Assurance seems to be an order protection service. Not sure how they deal with the shipping cost. I thought it would deal with lost or damaged delivery.

My order says shipping via Alibaba.com Logistics.

Iā€™m in California, very continental. Just got a message from seller for $27 shipping for 2. I am a new member. Not sure why it should be so hard.

Thatā€™s strange.

I wonder if anyone else here in had the same/similar issue.

Did you use the app? Thats where i got the free shipping offer.

49

Yep Alibaba.com

50

Not the website. The phone app is what i meant.

51

Ahhh! think this might be the problem? Never bought anything on my phone. Iā€™ll look

52

Finally just gave up. Not worth the time and trouble. Keep wanting me pay up to 83.00 in shipping

@JPM69 I officially give up trying to buy this box on Alibaba. I tried 2 credit cards and Paypal and getting a ā€œtransaction rejected due to security reasonsā€ Called my bank and they are not blocking or holding. Chattted with Baba support and they are telling me this product is only set up to work with wire transfer. LOL I told them I know others who bought the exact same product with Paypal or a credit card. Horrible experience trying to make a purchase.

54

Ugh. No idea why for me it was a hassle free experience but you and @Remy had such a bad experience.

I still have to get the order so they still have time to mess it up.

I got 3 of them delivered last week and I have 5 of the 16gb/256gb boxes that should be delivered tomorrow. Delivery has always been quicker than what they show. Might be the company they are ordering them from always good experience with this company. The duties and tarriffs are included in the shipping which adds to the shipping costs.Only problem I had with shipping was at the local post office put it out to the wrong mail carrier which caused a 3 day delay . If you use order tracker website it will keep you updated on the delivery .

You select which setup you want when ordering . 1/2/8 gb ram etc.

57

So I guess you are happy with them. At least at this price point.

I didnt see an option for anything other than 8/128GB. But thats the one i was buying so i didnt look around too much.

58

I figured I would give it one more try to see if I could buy this box from Alibaba but apparently I failed some type of security check? Huh? They are telling me to pay by wire transfer. No way :joy:

The tx 20 offers the 16gb/256 config. I am happy with them theyā€™re not shields but most folks I deal with canā€™t afford a shield . I donā€™t order any of these boxes expecting a 300 dollar box as iā€™m sure most on here donā€™t . Just for them to work good and last is most important. i have some of the first android boxes laid back that i hooked up last week to see if they still worked and they work but are what they are .I use Ethernet so they work great with that. Canā€™t say how wifi would work because everyoneā€™s wifi setup isnā€™t equal and Iā€™m four rooms from router.They have a good launcher but you can go directly from hompage to a generic android look .I use Tivimate which works great loaded down so far .The 256 boxes are the new Android 15 also .These TX 10ā€™s have pretty good vent holes in the bottom and I havenā€™t had any heating problems running 15 hours with them. I set all my boxes on two usb sticks spaced out so more air can flow under them .I had no problems recording or sending files to usb from Tivimate . How they will do really long term canā€™t say yet .One thing I learned early was the seller you buy from might load up a box completely different than another seller .
