Company established in Shenzhen China in 1999. Boxes all look very cheap, suspect clones.

[JohnO1234]

Worth a try for 65 squid. He used to supply Zeus, the proprietor of Dreamboxmagic. They are definately clones.

Ive already bought from them, got it last week. good quality I must say and worked 100%. Was delivered by parcelforce and not customs. The 2 boxes where priced $12 each also which was a nice touch to be sure:)

Was bit concerned myself, but as I paid them via credit card/paypal, I knew I was covered if anything went wrong. At those prices hard to beat. Just did a bit of playing on their site and if you order 12pcs works out about ?55 a box...man dreambox are so cheap now.

[McMav]

Its coz they are clones m8 you cant get orig boxes anymore Dream dont make them.

[kagon]

One really has to be concerned about the quality of the components at 55 GBP a box is all I can say, heh.

[Geronimoe]

You could look at it another way and say how overpriced the dreambox is from original suppliers. And if they did not charge so much people would not buy the clones.

I bought one about 2 months ago to replace an aging dbox2 works fine quality is fine, no issues works better than my only dbox2..
mine was deliveried by DHL with 3 days!

[billy_boy786]

thanx for the replies guys. just ordered a couple, lets see what happens.. lol

[Bonesy]

They have a referal system, I sahould of gave you my email address so I would get money for you buying stuff! hehe

Or better still, it may be benifical if the owers of the forums give out their email on dvbseller.com so whenever I buy anymore they can get paid for it?? Better someone benifiting from it then noone in my eyes.

[ruprect]

The post takes up a good chunk of the price, better to buy a few together if you have mates who want them. They are the same as zeus's. I know 5-6 people with zeus boxes that are all fine. One did arrive broken and was replaced. Would not fancy having to send stuff back to China. Chinese customs are an absolute nightmare, especially electronics. Dunno if they do need to go back to China if DOA.

[Bonesy]

Ruprect you got me worried now about returning it if faulty! So spoke to dvbseller customer service just now and asked if it is faulty, whats the best and cheapst way of getting it fixed.?

He replied saying:

"If it is a mainboard problem, a lot of customers would just return the mainboard only. It is very easy to remove the 5 screws and the mainboard. As this makes the item much lighter, the returning costs is minimal and we shall just replace that when recieved. However you must get an RMA number from your account on the shop."

Then I said:
I would be worried about breaking any warranty on the box by removing the casing?

His replay: "We make the boxes and give you 12 months warranty on all parts of the unit. We will will honour that."

Seems ok to me to only have to return the faulty board if it goes faulty:)

[ZooLio]

i've been buying from here for a while and never been charged by customs, nor have i had an issue. all clones, but the market is full of clones isn't it?

[g33za]

Bought a 500c and 500s, arrived last week, about a week turn around from order. Both are flashed and running fine, time will tell, but then at ?55 a piece thats a nice price.

[jake1970]

also got 2 boxes from there first one ok second was faulty, but they replaced it in just over a week,and refunded postage :)

[Bonesy]

need to order a new one, anyone pm their email address that they have registered on dvbseller.com and ill use it as a referal to get you ?2.50, best someone get benifit of it:)

[wilmslow3]

I'm going to buy another box, so if anyone wants to do the same, pm me with your email address...

[Devilfish]

Just had a look at this site and I don't think it's any cheaper than any UK seller.

DM500C - ?40
P&P - ?26.62
Paypal Fee - ?7

Total - ?73.62

I've seen UK sites doing them for under ?80 so why risk buying from China!

[faddy]

whcih uk sellers do you recommend...

regards

[marvo]

has anyone got a pic of this box ?55 wow

[aftermath]

you will pay around ?80 in total with postage. Why not stretch your budget and go for the Open Media box ?110, just got mine back and can honestly say the picture quality is better than the 500c, and you can add sat, as it does both from the flick of a switch.

[marvo]

it will do both cable and sat?? whats the model number ,,I ll have a ganders on the web at it,,

[aftermath]

Look here m8 http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=3741

the open media looks like a nice peice of kit, if only i had herd about it earlier lol may have considered it

overall, pleased with the product quality, which was my biggest fear

[faddy]

i ordered a dm500 today alongside the dm600.. haveneven got my dm600 working just yet..

[Celtictiger]

I bought from there and no problem, fast delivery and excellent customer service.

[JohnO1234]

Guys,

Just a word of warning to anyone who ordered from these this week?

I asked about my tracking number as I hadn't got any info after three days.

Reply from DVB Seller:

We have rainstorm for two days from 11th June, everywhere is full of water,
the road is like a river, No car can driving so the day. all the networks,
TVs, Radios is out of service today. So the EMS have to delay on line for 2
days,

Thanks in advance.

[maarksparky]

apparently this is one seller based in china who runs several sites.. I wouldnt get a clone... too many tuner issues.. but I must say that my mate has one of the clones and he has never complained..

?65 is not too bad..

[Bonesy]

Just got my tracking number, so shipping must be back to normal now. I did 2 reviews other day and I got ?5 in points to use and for ?55 a box inc shipping etc.. is there anyone else cheaper?

What dioes this mean, has anyone else bought from these guys. Does your trackin look like this?

JohnO

[Bonesy]

Yep thats looks normal, all parcels from anywhere must go through customs charging. Said same on mine and havent got charged customs, the delivery was only valued at $15 or somthing also which is nice:)

[faddy]

what tracking page do you guys use?

[Devilfish]

May I just add at this point that Digital Kaos is in no way affiliated with this company and takes no responsibility for any delay or loss of items.

Buy at your own risk!

[/disclosure] lol

[faddy]

lol.. maybe you should affiliate yourself to them.. you`ll be making millions at the rate people are buying from them...

this is what I use to track once in the country.

JohnO

[faddy]

does the EMS website give any info?

[JohnO1234]

yep, the info is virtually the same.

Best to use parcelforce once in the country though as this will be more descriptive.

JohnO

[faddy]

thanks.. ive looked at the ems website but it just says no shipping info.. i probably think it takes a few days to update..

how many days does it normally take to deliver??

[ronaldo121]

how long was the delivery time from dvbseller from the day of order?

Also does he email you the tracking number?

[JohnO1234]

Yep!

people say 7 days from orders!

JohnO.

[billy_boy786]

[Bonesy]

just checked at my parcel hit customs yesterday and is just released so hopefully will get mine tomorrow yay!:)

Mine is similar, I think when it enters UK, is the next update on your tracking.
Still awaiting mine here, fingers crossed it comes today.

[Fano]

Anyone have any problems with the Dreambox power adapters provided by DVBSeller.
I received a batch of 4 boxes and all the adapters blew after a few days use.
They all had the S/n D0803 .
I previously had only used D0704/711.Never had an issue.
A friend of mine had the exact same issue,6 adapters all blown.
The 803 series are suspect .
Anyone have a similar problem ?

[JohnO1234]

Have you reported this to dvb seller?

BTW, don't buy any of the phones they are shiiite.

JohnO

[Fano]

Have you reported this to dvb seller?

Yes I have,they offered $5 credit for each power supply.
Not great when they sell them for $25 a piece.

I'll keep an eye out for these but so far no power converter problems. Nice to know they offered youi some kind of credit. But would they not offer you a replacement???

[faddy]

Any ideas how long it takes to clear from customs.. at the moment mine is sat at AWAITING CUSTOMS CHARGING.. does this mean im gonna get stung :(

[aftermath]

It looks that way to me. Ive been stung a few times before, they seem to be getting worse these days.

[faddy]

crap bollox :(

[JohnO1234]

Sounds strange, I think they've lost your pacel mate. Mine only took 2 days to process through customs.

I would phone parcelforce. You are tracking this through Parcelforce and not ems?

JohnO

[faddy]

I have rang them.. and they are stating that it is going through the customs clearance at the moment and should be completed by tomorrow.. so will leave it till then.. if not then i`ll do some chasing up!

btw i was doing it through parcelforce..

[Bonesy]

I've had parcels in customs for 3-4 days, 1-2 is normal. So did you get your box or is it really lost? Also what price did dvbseller.com put on it and if you where charged duty how much?

wahey.. looks like i should get it tomorrow.. :D

[mullo]

I have used them and no problems at all lads

[uczmeg]

I've just used them for the first time.

They sat in customs for a few days, but no charges.

One Dreambox came in a really battered old box, the other was unboxed and lightly bubble wrapped in the package. The result: The cable connector was bent and the front cracked (still worked fine).

Not particularly happy! I've had no reply from them yet on this.

[Bonesy]

strange not nice way to recieved boxes. All mine arrvied in top condition and I've order a few deliveries now.

[dreadz123]

mine arrived in a battered box too mate...everything worked fine though :) sat in customs for 2 days..was getting worried a little lol

[faddy]

mine also arrived in tip top shape even though it sat in customs for 4 days..

[uczmeg]

Didn't care about the battered box, what annoyed me was the unboxed one that was cosmetically broken.

[davemac82]

just ordered a 500c from here ill let youse know how it goes

[Devilfish]

Found this discount code on another forum ;) apparently gets you 4% off.

Thanks to original poster.

Code: dvbsellerinvite
Discount: 4% OFF

Njoy!

[dnmrpp]

Recieved mine this week. Battered box but works great. It usually sits in customs for at least 3-4 days, start the alarm bells if longer then 6........

[C64]

I wouldnt get a clone... too many tuner issues..

*cough* bullshit *cough*

[uczmeg]

*cough* bullshit *cough*

Hadn't noticed that comment, but I certainly agree with you.

Only trouble I've ever had with tuners have been real Dreamboxes. The one here in my home office is rubbish. The clones I've come into contact with have been MUCH better.

[zulm]

i ordered two and they turned up within 7 days. boxes were a bit battered but the dreambox seem fine so far

[g33za]

When I ordered, one of the box corners was a bit crumpled but otherwise contents was ok. Seems like they hand make the boxes for transportation so they fit real tight. I suspect the parcels take quite a battering to get over here.

[davemac82]

my box was a bit battered 2 but db was fine in fact its better than any other dreambox ive had and for a fraction of the price!, also use the discount code devilfish provided it works a treat:burnout:

[Fano]

Are the boxes printed or just plain white ?
I presume they come with a 3 pin plug ?

Hello everyone,

I would like to offer a warning about dealing with DVB Seller in China. (Some may say if you deal with sellers in China you get what you deserve but that?s another issue). I ordered and eventually received a Dreambox from them. However it was faulty and I believe the tuner wasn?t working. DVB Seller told me to take the motherboard out and send it back to them and they would replace it. I sent it (international tracking) and they twice refused to accept delivery consequently it was sent back to the UK. When I have contacted them they have just given me excuses, when they have eventually responded. I am particularly frustrated because initially the unit wasn?t working, they promised to put it right, I had more expense sending it back to them and DVB Seller clearly never intended to honour their promise in the first place! I will never trust them again, it?s been an expensive and time consuming exercise. Beware!

[robdel]

[Heatblast]

[Heatblast]
