I had sent a message earlier today to Gearbest regarding the availability for the Beelink MiniMXIII (Amlogic s905 2GB/16GB) under the same username (edcoolio) to the Gearbest "ask a question about this product".
Now that I have my answer about availability from 8pm today:
"The item is not in stock at the moment. It will restock in 3 - 7 business days from now."
So all that is cool so far. I get my trusty e-mail with discount code for the product and attempt to order. I click on the link directly from the e-mail, confirm that it is the exact same product in the e-mail, and attempt to put in the coupon code. I get:
"The code you entered is invalid.
Coupon code can only be used with one piece price, it can not be used with vip price, special offer, group deal at the same time. "
I looked for the product at the "$50.85 price" as shown in the e-mail, but it doesn't exist at that price. The current price is $43.29, the coupon "sale" is $41.99. Now, I realize the difference between the price with the coupon only saves me $1.30, but come on.
What is the point of bothering to subscribe to a vendor with a personal e-mail account if the coupon codes or sales are not even valid!
Anyways, after I get a response here I'll go ahead and order and put a review up - assuming anyone is interested in a device like this streaming TV box here - a review will be going up in some other more "tv streaming box" specific forums regardless.
Looking forward towards your quick reply.
"Flash sale" price (literally, within 10 minutes of writing the original post above) just dropped to the $41.99 price.
Thanks guys. Maybe I was too fast to jump after the e-mail!
Product ordered.
Update: Gearbest has packaged, photographed the package & sent via email for me, and shipped an airmouse I ordered ONLY 5hrs AFTER I PLACED THE ORDER!
I've never had order to shipping take place from a China direct supplier so quickly. Ever. Not even close.
I'm impressed!
