Got one now at the discounted price.

 

[Gamer]

Just in time?

/snip

Nice one! Mine will get here end of this week/early next week.

 

[Arzy]

Nicely done, the shield is an amazing piece of equipment.

Bought one, wasn't allowed to add 2 to my cart. Buying 2 in separate orders isn't really much a saving.

Edit: it actually won't let me buy another one at the discounted price. Only offering $179 price for a 2nd order. At least I got 1 cheaper.
Thank you [MENTION=403060]Sumen[/MENTION] and [MENTION=83147]Shalin_ZN[/MENTION] for the heads up about Amazon and the Prime sale.

Over and above the import fees, do you pay additional customs duty when it arrives in SA?

 

[kianm]

I think I got the deal still after they had sold out stock. I don't have an estimated delivery date as it said out of stock when I checked out, that was about 6mins to flash sale ending

Probably best answered here:

However, from what I understand, Amazon will absorb any shortfall in customs charges and refund anything that was charged extra.
The cheaper of the 2 shipping options arrives via Aramex (and from what I've been reading, some folks have had delays/comms issues/customs delays with this service). The more expensive option arrives within a few days and ships via DHL or UPS. Again, from what I've read briefly, very few issues at all with this service.

Received a call from UPS this morning, my Shield should be in ZA tomorrow

That is a deal and a half!

Ah, okay, makes sense then.

Not sure if anyone else got this yet but heads up for some bug fixes on the MiBox. I can remember some people having NTFS issues, I don’t personally use it but if that’s the case I hope this helps you.

Is this a patch to OREO? If so, I hope they fix the constant stutter picked up by OREO update...! Will check tonight...

Quick question about the updating the Shield to Oreo.

Will the update remove all the sideloaded apps?

So got my Prime lightning sale Shield yesterday. Wow, just wow. What a step up from the cheap chinese boxes I've been used to.
Definitely need another one, going to battle with the box in the room.

Seems my one got stolen after delivery on Sunday there in the US. USPS showed delivered but upon getting home they couldn't find it anywhere around the usual delivery spots for the address
