I don't know if it is is exactly the same model but it is available here (seemingly new although given the IBOOD mistake you may want to confirm!) for just €165.99

It's the old model, for the extra few bob I'd go with the newer version.

cancelled - paid with paypal, so just threw any old details in to the IBAN page (I used example iban from AIBs site), and added comment to be refunded via paypal. Any hint of an issue, and Im lodging a dispute

didnt want to give my account numbers at all - I paid with paypal, and wanted to be refunded the same way. Took them a while, but got a paypal email yesterday acknowledging the refund

Re feckin furbished .. don't know how I didn't spot that before I pulled the trigger ... the model now showing on the website is also running Android 4.3 whereas the earlier one (I think) was running 4.2...

Jaysus .. cancelled it now so hopefully will get the shillings back soon enough

Still waiting for my refund...

Mine came through there yesterday - did you get an email from IBOOD confirming the refund? It could well be that it is slower via the bank account route than a paypal refund.

Me too. I have the confirmation of cancellation and refund from ibood, but it hasn't been credited back. Pretty sure they said 5-10 days for a refund to get back.

Yep - got the cancellation email last Thurs (31/10) and the credit email last Friday... shouldn't be long now..

Mike1961

Ah grand .. refund lodged to my a/c today. BTW I got the Nexus 7 2013 model (2GB ram) in PC World over the weekend- their's is the best price around at the minute (€249 and €30 cashback => €219). Can claim cashback 21 days after purchase.

Macy0161

My refund came through on Friday. Probably safer that the two children have the same model anyway on reflection.

Will be looking around now - what's the story with that PC World deal? Is it actual cash back, or a voucher?

How nosey/invasive is the online form, just enough details to get the cashback, or annoying questionnaire *necessary details* type lark?

Citizenpain

No idea sorry

Shazamm

So is there anymore info on the pc world offer? Sounds too good to be true

Wossack

Only a 16G methinks

Slightly off topic perhaps, but I too was very tempted by the ibood offer & I've been kinda mooching around for an alternative.
Did electrical at the moment have a Hanspree 10.1 inch quadcore tab for 169. I went down and had a play. It's very nice, the specs are fine: a gig ram, 16gig expandable storage, 1.2 processor. I honestly can't tell the difference between it and its 270 euro samsung/toshiba etc equivalents.

In my experience DID are great with issues/returns etc as long as you keep receipts.

Note : not to be confused with the other 9.7" hanspree they have for 150 ish, which is a bit crap

SimonFM

Xtra-vision in Greystones have it for 219 euro

Refurbished by the looks of it?

Know someone in states this week.

Why do you say its refurbished?

Thanks Mike, I didn't enter correct bank details but stated I wanted a refund via PayPal and in fairness to IBOOD I got my refund there this morning so no complaints on that front.

I'm trying to cancel but can't seem to make up an appropriate fictitious IBAN account number.

Any advice?

I just emailed them and said I wanted a refund through PayPal and they sorted it out. There should be an email address on your PayPal order confirmation page.

Also you can initiate a complaint through PayPal which may speed things up a bit.

I just got this in an email from dabs.ie - it's the 16Gb old model for €157. Definitely a bargain for anyone who's been let down by iBood.

ewj1978

aye.. not refurbished as well.. looks a decent price.

Half tempted to cancel it now and buy something else..
DID have a hannspree 10.1" quad for not much more. Decisions, decisons.

I had look at that hannspree one looks good for the price. Any reviews ?

ewj1978

few and far between... didnt copy any locations but from what i remember today the build quality isn't the best, camera's are sh*te but its a decent quad core with 1gb ram and a 10" screen..

Other one I'm tempted by is actually the Tesco Hudl.. It'll be aprrox €130 1.5ghz quad,1gb Ram, hdmi connections etc.. only a 7" but has rear/front camera's compared to the 1st Gen Nexus only 1 camera..

So much choice..

Its a 10 inch I'm after for a x mas present. If anyone has any suggestions that would be great max 200 I be looking to pay. Thanks . should I just go with the did one? Its for a 11 year old so camera shouldn't really be a big issue

ewj1978

Got cold feet, cancelled the order there. Probably going to buy the tesco Hudl when I'm up North next week.

So any more iBood deals....

take the money, if the device arrives you can promise to pay them

ewj1978

I wish.. they've responded to say the item was shipped and if I wish to return it i'll have to pay for the return postage and etc..

Was cancelling because I wasnt certain they'd arrive. UPS have them now in the UK so should be here on Monday.

TheBazman

Got my 2 yesterday..happy days.. 20days for delivery is grand. As I mentioned before I've never had an issue with IBOOD.

Is this worth it? On the lookout for a good tablet.

fat bloke

Couple of people asking about the Hanspree quad core in DID. Our school just bought a bunch of them and I took one home last night.
It's a grand yoke I have to say. It's fine, it's a vanilla android tablet, does ask the things you'd expect of the OS and it's a pleasant feeling and looking tab. For 169 I think it's a good deal. I certainly don't see why anyone would bypass it and pay 100 euro more for a same-as Samsung/Toshiba etc.

KazDub

Arrived to Parcel Motel last night, picked it up today. Absolutely perfect condition, not a single scratch anywhere. The only difference between this and my last purchase of a non-refurb N7 is that this one didn't come in the official black packaging. It still came all wrapped up well with the user manual and 3 pin plug though so all in all delighted with the purchase.

Slightly regretting cancelling mine now :rolleyes:
