I just recently purchased a case for my Max1 and some screen protectors for my Note through his store. Everything arrived in a timely fashion without incident. Luckily, the package arrived before the rotating postal strikes that we are currently experiencing here in Canada began. |

Booxtor is now offering the Boyue Likebook Mars - but doesn't offer the Nova yet. Interesting!

Michaudg. Interesting.
Any chance a new product like this will be discounted on 11.11? It is a few days away and we have already been waiting since forever. |

No idea. I just found it by trying a search. I don't know if new items on AliExpress tends to have discount. I did not have the patience to wait until there. I paid it 250$ US with the new user 10$ coupon and by using the mobile app.

I'm wondering how much US customs will charge for this device. 25% tariff levied on electronic devices upon Mr. Trump's request? Your post reminds me of this news. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/10/19/sing...les-event.html Last edited by cqman; 11-02-2018 at 12:50 AM. |

Well, I do concur it is a good price, however with 11.11 coming up it is worth the consideration.
At the same time I am wondering if the NOVA plus with wacoom is more what I need. However, I believe I learned that capacitive input will suffice for annotations, with a good stylus, passive or active. So, I guess I jump on and take a seat in the band wagon. I will have it send to EU, so US customs or Trump is not really relevant Yep 11.11 is by far the global retail event, if there is something in it for me, I am happy to make a saving. Update: Tried to order it, but they don't have any in stock in Spain yet. If I get it directly to Denmark from outside EU, I have to pay DK VAT (25%), whilst getting it from inside EU there is no DK VAT. So 25 % and customs did come in play, just not US and Trump, only convoluted EU common market rules. Last edited by JonasKofod; 10-31-2018 at 05:35 AM. Reason: Update |

The devices on AliExpress are backordered and the seller told me they expect to have it available to ship on Nov. 9. Has anyone that ordered one actually had notification of shipment?

I ordered one through AliExpress on Monday. Early this morning, the seller sent me a note apologizing for passing on info that said that the Nova had a flexible screen and offering me a chance to cancel my order if I didn't like the Nova. I replied that I knew that the Nova did not have a flexible screen, and so I was still interested in one. Then, the seller informed me that they are out of stock, and should have some by November 9. So, we're in the same boat, it seems - a slow boat from China?

In Chinese: https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?sp...d=580848300230 I don't think you can buy it with your US bank account or it supports delivery to the US. As far as I know Tmall provides "directly buy" from Singapore and Malaysia. |

On the other hand, AliExpress' policy is that orders are cancelled and the money refunded if shipment is not made in eight days. I'm on day four now. We shall see. |
