Unfortunately, you may be waiting a while.The u22 xj is back on Amazon but I am waiting until it is on prime. Easier to return if there is a problem and no restocking fee. No shipping charge either.
A lot of what is available on Lazada is shipped directly from China. I am not sure where the U22-XJ is manufactured, but I assumed either Hong Kong or mainland China. That is why I was surprised to not see it listed.
The only authorised store on minix website in China that will actually ship one to Thailand is Ali Express.
I ordered mine on the 31st March and now 25 days later, despite numerous messages to the shop and Thai postal system, the item is tracked as far as Singapore,then shipped to Thailand on the 8th April. Now it cannot be located anywhere.
Very frustrating.
Thanks. But they will not ship to Thailand.The U22 xj is now on Amazon Prime so I ordered it today. Arriving 5/1-5/6.

Thanks for your thoughts. I have never seen any IT store in Chiang Mai that sells Minix. I purchased my U9 from Lazada. In fact I am now reliabily informed that Minix Hong Kong no longer supply to any outlet in Thailand. And that includes the two sites shown on their "Where to buy " listings. I contacted both outlets and they confirmed that they would not be able to stock the U22.
I suppose it is a blessing in disguise that it is unavailavble, considering the numerous different problems that some purchasers seem to be experiencing. After so many loyal years to Minix, I may well have to look for an alternative as good as the Minix.
HI Allmankind
I thought it would be courteous to update you on my Ali Express experience. Amazingly enough, the item cleared customs on the 29th, some 22 days after it arrived in Thailand. And the item is now at the local delivery office, awaiting delivery. I will let the forum know how it goes, once I have tried their new FOTA update V 3.
Regards
Apologies if my post was unclear. As I stated, it arrived in Thailand on the 8th via Singapore, according to Singapore post, who had a cleared receipt. But it was not put into the Thai postal system, whereby they scan the barcode tracking number, until the 28th.Thanks for the update. Just curious, did customs charge you duty, or is it like Lazada where the price you pay is the price delivered to your door?
But 22 days is a long time in customs. Are you sure customs had it for 22 days? With Lazada items usually clear customs in a day or two.
If customs did not charge you duty, then I might look into ordering from Ali Express.
Arrived 0830 hrs. No customs duty.
In Europe and Canada they're not!Amazon is out of stock again .
It's the same for all sorts of stuff on Amazon.Interesting that as Amazon UK is fully back "in stock" (as opposed to "just 14 units" a week ago), the price has gone up from £136/€155/$165 to £150/€170$182.
The price before didn't include shipping fee because we had to ship directly to customers from overseas (additional cost).Interesting that as Amazon UK is fully back "in stock" (as opposed to "just 14 units" a week ago), the price has gone up from £136/€155/$165 to £150/€170$182.
