Buying an Eken M001
1 - 20 of 51 Posts
got mine from this guy:http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/modelkingdom2009apparently he auctions most of them , and he delivers via DHL express as promised. i won mine for 72 (plus 16 shipping) quid 2 weeks ago but he had an auction last night and sold one at 52( plus 16 shipping) which i think is awesome.the trouble is , he was such an awful seller when it comes to responding to your emails , i plus the plus money to get this badass as soon as possible, and he finally did spent most if not all of that money to deliver via DHL, but it took him about 10 days, while he promised 5-7. anyway , the moment i got fed up with this, i filed for ebay resolution center and in 24 hours i finally got a response from the guy with a tracking number, he previously just ignored me. the record showed that he did shipped the device the day he changed the status of the item on ebay to shipped , but it was already 6 days after receiving the money . since he very politely apologized afterwards , i assume he was out of stock at that moment.so i retracted my neutral feedback upon his request and put positive for him. i hope i did the right thing.here is my story and my eken , or should i say , SlateDroid

[quote author=Mike link=topic=4.msg327#msg327 date=1273860731]So am I, it was fairly frustrating being one of the first members and then having to watch as everyone else received and got to play with theirs before me

[/quote]I'm another frustrated buyer. I won my auction on May 2nd... and here it is May 14th and it's not even in the country yet! And I've sat back watching others purchase at a lower price and receive theirs much quicker. The only pattern I can figure-out is that DHL shipping is much, much faster than regular post. If other people weren't getting the eken so quick, I probably wouldn't be complaining... I wouldn't have any comparison to realize I'm getting left behind at the starting line.I will mention my ebay seller, that way other people can avoid ordering from them. They are listed as "aguang5212009' on ebay and have a very good 98.5% approval rating. I don't believe they've ripped me off, they just probably used some of the $29.00 shipping to buy a good meal and what was left used to ship my device "slow boat from China". lol
[quote author=xta-droid link=topic=4.msg53#msg53 date=1273748039]Received in 5 days2 x 16 gb SD cards for under $5[/quote]Did you check that those cards are real 16GB cards and not scammed cards made to appear to the OS that they are 16 when they are in fact 2GB? Have been burned like that on ebay on memory cards, flash drives, and mp3 players from chinese sellers enough times that I am very very leery of it any more.

Today marks two full weeks since auction purchase.Friggin thing still hasn't entered our shores yet.Only comfort the seller can give is "if it's not there in 30 working days, you can have a refund." (30 working days is actually 6 weeks, right?)The way I figure is, from time of auction ending and receiving any type of refund, two months or more will have passed. Instead of being an early purchaser, I will end-up being one of the late ones. LOL
