Hi,

I live in Spain and they use PostNL for me and I think all of Europe. Takes around 10 -15 days to get to me. It will come in a big white polystyrene box.

Does your tracking number like this RSXXXXXXNL ?

Hi Chris

Thanks for the response.

No, the tracking number is this format: KX241976***GB

The one positive concerning GearBest is their use of One World Express for shipping to Europe. It is quick and trackable.

I live in Slovakia and they used PostNord, I didn’t even have to pay any customs or VAT, which saved me around 40 EUR

Not sure about that tracking number is a Royalmail? Maybe it goes first to the UK hub and then onward to you. Mine goes via Amsterdam and saves me about 40 euro in VAT too. Unlike my DHL shipments I always get charged 15 euro doc fee + 21% in Spanish IVA – ouch !!

You are correct…it is a Royal Mail tracking number…bizarre that BangGood should give me a tracking number for the domestic transit in the UK but not one for the international transit.

The next issue will be the unenviable prospect of paying a ridiculous amount in customs/vat charges.

I got the international dual boot version. I’m pretty happy so far.

I don’t like the heat issue and short battery life that comes with it.

No the battery life I find the worse issue, which is why I gave it 6/10 for battery life in my review. If you’re up to it, you can do the copper heat sink mod to stop the throttling. But even the ASUS T100HA with the X5 Z8500 has the exact same heat issue it’s the chipset.

Its 32Gb android and 32Gb windows and it cannot be changed afterwards.

Dont buy the tablet yet, read about my issue and the one of many others. In windows it crashes frequently, it has to do with the battery capacity / level. I’ve seen this on this forum and the chinese teclast forum as well. Its not addressed yet and its quite easy to reproduce. Teclast just needs to let the tablet run on battery and see what happens around 40-50%. Its rediculous they let this happen

I received my X98 Pro yesterday. It took a mere 8 days from Hong Kong/China to my home in England. Very impressive.
