ODROID-N2 CoreELEC Edition!

I’m in Canada as well. My experience with orders from ameridroid is that out of 4 orders I’ve gotten a bill for the taxes twice. It should be GST only so 5% and if shipped with fedex, fedex also has a $10 fee for collecting the tax.

Is there anyone from Europe who has asked ameridroid ?, is to know the total fees and taxes that would have to pay. In my case, the loss is to Spain. With odroid.uk, the rate goes up to a total of € 120 …

For Spain, you’ll have to pay VAT + 20€ for customs fees…

With odroid.co.uk to Spain there should be no fees.

EU to EU trade is exempt from these kinds of charges.

He was asking about Ameridroid.

It would be 61€ + 15€ shipping + 21% VAT + 20€ of customs fees = 110€
Still cheaper than Odroid UK.

For Spain, the cheaper option is the pack with case and power suply from Antratek for 98€, if you don’t care about the SD and the CoreELEC sticker.

cdu13a, thanks for pointing that out about the 16gb eMMC. I didn’t realize it was only $2 more. Ameridroid was willing to let me change from 8 to 16gb and pay the difference.

Thanks for the replies everyone. If it’s only 5% that would be fine, but I’ve been burned by duty fees before. Years ago I ordered some network cables from a company in the US and it cost a bit under $50 total. Then when UPS showed up with the package they demanded another $22 for “brokerage fees”, which I thought was ridiculous having to pay a hidden fee that was almost 50% of the original purchase price.

Anyway, I ordered my N2 using Globegistics eCom Packet as the courier. Never heard of this company before, but I think they’re part of USPS. If they try to charge me some ridiculous fee (more than 5-7%) I’m just going to refuse delivery and have them return it to sender.

Thanks for your reply.
Don’t really need to pay more for the 4GB version in Coreelec, is that correct?

The problem I had with odroid.uk is that when placing my order a cost was calculated with my address to Spain. But then I received an email from the page where they explained to me that my registration was for orders within the UK (odd thing, since I put my address and data from Spain) and they asked me almost 20 euros more for taxes within the UK, for I decided to cancel my order.

Thats what was posted above, someone said it may be helpful if you run android. I went 4gb just because I would rather spend the $10 now then regret it down the road. But probably won’t need it.

Hi,
I’ve some C2 and Xu4 emmc spare, could one of those work on N2?
Thanks!

C2 eMMC is compatible.

Cool! Thank you :+1:

Ameridroid starting to ship!

Any information about companies that ship Coreelec edition through EU (not just Germany/Austria) and does not take x2 costs that HK does?

Yes. Ameridroid has shipped my package too. Will update upon receiving the same.

I want to buy, can it be ordered via Lazada? I am from Indonesia.

In the end I decided to buy on odroid.co.uk and very well. I ordered last Friday and, on Monday, I had my new N2 at home.
So, one more with Odroid N2 and Coreelec in emmc.

Hello guys, so my Odroid N2 2GB Coreelec edition got delivered today here in India. Thankfully didn’t get to pay any custom duty, got away with it.

Coming to the unit. It booted fine, but somehow I’m not able to connect it to internet. Ethernet is showing connected. But no internet. I have connected it to non gigabit router. Is this the problem?

Coreelec is running on nightly. Will try to flash stable version tomorrow.

Thanks
