Same here ,
Ordered a Xiaomi Mi A2 (128gb version).

Emailed them and they said it went out of stock , and is due back in stock on Dec 14th.

Their site still says in stock though.

It seems to be sold out pretty much everywhere (128gb version)

I ordered a RN5 looked to have stock at the time of ordering. Typical. Should have gone with hing Kong

yes you do get this with eglobal sometimes.

I read somewhere that if you see dispatches within 24 hours on the description then you defo know that it's actually in stock.

I didn't use any of the "contact us " links on their site .

I just replied to the order confirmation email I received from them .

I sent the email to them at 5:15 am (the joys of early starts ) and got a reply at 9:30 the same morning

Hopefully you get sorted soon

The email I receiver earlier said -

We are currently packing your order and it will be dispatched shortly etc.....

May take up to 48 hours for courier to update tracking status information etc …...


My order page on their site says "Packing & Delivering soon "

ImARebel

Cheers. It's typical when you're waiting on it (my sis dropped and broke her rn4)

Just to let you know you're a superstar

They replied back and said phone was out of stock and won't be getting it back in for a long time and did I want to change to gold. Sis isn't delighted about it but at least she'll have a phone for Christmas

Thanks again !

Glad to help ,

Gold isn't too bad , I've been using a gold phone (Oppo R7s) for the last couple of years with a clear gel case .
It's not as in your face as you might think and It's a popular colour .

My new one is black , just for a change.

The Honor 8X 64GB black version is on Saturn (German Store) for €199. It can be delivered to mailboxde.com for free.
Delivery from mailboxde is around €13 - €15 for it. So it would be around €215 altogether.

Just wondering anyone who the Xaomi A2 lite off aliexpress etc. Did it come with a UK plug adapter? Seems to just EU plugs. I don't want to lose out on fast charger using a cheap adaptor

GBX

Might depend on the seller on Aliexpress. Have you a link for the one you are looking at?

Others here have purchased from this seller. I've contacted the seller in the mean time

They usually come with a cheap adapter. Better to buy one in Dealz or somewhere here.

GBX

Might be the fast charger in the box and a Chine > UK adapter sent with it. See what they say. Hopefully not.

What about ordering from Eglobal?

The product is a Mi A2 (not sold in china), so more likely will have an EU plug and optional UK adapter (needs to be requested). There usually cheap crap with no fuse etc.

Interesting Xiaomi buying shares in TCL.
Had forgotten about TCL. There were a few decent devices couple of years back from them. Thought they'd gone bust.

...And Redmi to become a sub-brand like Huawei/Honor, ZTE/Lumia etc. But it won't be one of their ecological chain brands like Deerma, Mijia, Xiaofag or kiss kiss fish etc.. and will function differently to their mi ecosystem sub-brand.

Ouch..

Love TCL, have one sitting in my wardrobe now, only reason I'm not using it is because I got a good deal on a phone in the black friday sales, my son will be using it for AR games etc, Ive dropped it god knows how many times and not even a scratch.

Well, it looks like Mishop.ie have gone down the tubes, even though their website is still up. I recently bought an item from their shop, they took the money from me, but never delivered, and haven't responded to a number of emails. This is a pity because they used be fine, and I had no problems before, but it's completely unacceptable to take money and then not deliver. That's theft.

Get onto your credit card company and do a chargeback.

Sorry to hear that. Did you happen to pay through PayPal? Even if you didn't maybe check with your bank can they do a charge back ?

Have you contacted paypal (if used) or your bank? You could ask them to do a chargeback.
