Ok. It sucks that you can't use it when ordering something online...

Seems like banggood is reputable? no?

Everyone is reputable if you pay through Paypal.

Was it delivered or did you fetch from Cape Snail?

Fetched from local post office, but got a notice in the mail that my second order is stuck at Cape hub - need to send customs the invoice and all sorts of nonsense :[

Just curious. Did you pay VAT etc? I had to pay about R70 on my mine.

I collected mine yesterday from my local post office and had to pay R66-50.

Can you pay via card?

Can you pay via card?

Most post offices have card machines these days.

I looked at that, and rather decided to go with a different one.

Went wit this one instead:

Reason for that is, the Beelink X2 supports the DSTV Now app, which very few of these android boxes support. In my books, that extra $3 well spent.

Sadly, it currently sits in JHB at JIMC since the 3rd September, though it says in transit today so maybe it will be at Cape Mail hub on Tuesday, then another 1-2 weeks before I get it.

Don't even talk, at Capemail hub they had to swipe mine with paper over it to make it work. Hilarious.

When I went for my learners the time before last they wouldn't even take cards. We had to search to draw some cash first.

R160 customs fee on both my orders.
3rd one now is stuck at customs still - sent them the suggested paperwork but haven't heard anything yet.

I bought something for $18 on banggood. That was less than a week ago. For some reason it was sent by DHL from Canada and arrived in SA today.

Am sure courier charges for anything are higher than $17

DHL also has pretty expensive handling fees.

$25 minimum in my experience for shipping from the US.

Like when I wanted to buy that 4 Pound Raspberry Pi Zero from the UK and they wanted to charge me 25 pounds shipping!
Needless to say, that order got cancelled post haste.
