They aren't much more than 30p delivered on Ali usually. I always wonder how they can do it, surely the postage must be more?

My postie mate reckons the Chinese government pay for the postage for goods from China.

Got myself a Nexus 9 from Argos yesterday for £149.99.
http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/3...

I admit, it is only 16GB storage with no microSD ability and there are reports of screen bleed and recessed buttons but it is quite a good bit of kit for the money. Mine will mainly be used for streaming media so storage is not really an issue.

It is frivolous as it wasn't needed due to owning an Ipad Mini 3 and Lenovo Miix 3 but I wanted something Android as well. The ipad is 7.9", the lenovo 10.1" and this is 8.9" so I was also missing something with a screen around 9 inches.

I'm not expecting a lot, I just fancied a toy.
I hope this wasn't st as I've just ordered one to go with a shiny new Wileyfox Swift that should be turning up tomorrow...

I tried to buy a cheap smart watch a couple of months ago from GearBest, and using Yodel, it got lost / stolen / didn't come to me. They only refunded part of my order as I didn't pay for insurance, and I'm narked off.

Possibly due to a glitch in the matrix, they have the following at $0.10, but you can only buy one. Shipped from China.

Please can everyone order one each, just to annoy them?

My order went through fine!

I've had one of these for a couple of years, use it in work all the time, its very handy and well worth it. Great little tools.

You'd have to ask the thieving Yodel driver. rage

Hence the reason for me being a bit angry with GearBest for not giving me a full refund when their chosen courier decides to nick it.

(I will be claiming the balance through PayPal or my Credit Card, but could really do without the hassle.)

Now please buy a 7p credit card sized tool, and help my rage!

I've ordered one 7p well spent.
When I've ordered stuff off gearbest previously it's always cost me a quid or so in foreign currency charges using my debit card.
Still cheap I suppose.
However I set up a paypal account to buy this, do you still pay the foreign currency transaction fee?
Sorry about the newbie question never used paypal before.
