[LightInTheBox.com] Xiaomi Mi Box Int'l ($84 CDN + FS)

Deal Link:
Price:
84
Retailer:
LightInTheBox.com
More offers from LightInTheBox.com
First post and didn't see it posted from search

Saw the Mi Box for $84 CDN and free shipping unless you want it shipped express

Appears similar to the one from NCIX for $109 I purchased so for $84 CDN sounds good ~ models/box/remote looks very similar

Looks like they also have some cheap keypads/remotes

are these guys safe to order from? seems like there's a tonne of poor reviews but they may date back to several years ago. anyone ordered anything from LightInTheBox recently? I already picked one of these up on the NCIX $109 deal but could use another.

If this comes out of China and doesn't ship by ePacket, you may have to wait a couple of months. Otherwise nice price.

Buyer beware. There is a weird Netflix bug with some of these boxes that not everyone has been able to find a fix for.

Most of them don't have that issue but just check the return policy before ordering. I got mine from Walmart US when I was physically down in the States so returning would be a hassle.

There was an update to the firmware on the box on the 19th, specifically for Netflix, according to what my box said before it updated, and after the update, no more netflix stuttering.

ALso, great price on this box, bought mine at WM in the US as well, but tempted to order one now again, solid box...

Only showing EU plug adapter version. Is there one that ships with the US adapter? Otherwise, may as well get another from Walmart, no wait time, and have a return policy for only $10 more, which you could spend easily trying to find a NA plug adapter.
Also, to confirm, they call this the international version... that's the same one sold at Walmart, correct? The other version being the Chinese version? There isn't a US, Int and China, correct? Model number appears to be the exact same as the WM one.

Hoping to find US one, with the code it $79... that's a steal!

NVM, I went down and see that they say they include the adapter for the country specified in shipping... ordering.. Paypal for insurance.
Anyone bother buying the Duty etc insurance? I have never had duties for stuff from overseas.

hey..

The issue I'm referring to is more than stuttering. You are not able to play anything at all. I'm not sure if you are referring to the same thing. It is described here:

I know there were a bunch of issues regarding netflix and my stuttering one, was one of them ,but not as prevalent. However, I would check your software updates, make sure you got the April 18th or 19th one, it says it is specifically to fix the Netflix playback issues, specific to the Mi box.
I also have the google nexus player and it used to do the "We're having trouble playing this title right now. Please try again later or select a different title". error every now and then, but hardly ever, I always attributed it to spotty wifi. It hasn't done it in ages though

In the past we bought $80usd worth of stuff from Light in the Box. They shipped DHL and we got a bill for $40 (customs clearance fee). We had bought the duty & tax insurance ($2.24usd) and Light in the Box reimbursed us within 3 days.

Did you select Express shipping? Usually regular shipment, goes China air to USPS, then Canada Post. I guess for $2 it's a great insurance
