Hi.
That is the one.
I ordered the phone on the 19th, got a tracking number on the 20th and the phone arrived on the 23th... not bad considering it is Christmas.
Return address is to a industrial unit in Middlesex.
And the phone is great, only downside is the battery life!
Thanks, OP!

Was that from soleilenrose ? I did some checking up on them and they look like they are one of these dodgy chinese sellers who ships it from hong kong and avoids VAT by pretending to be vat registered in the UK but because Amazon and Ebay don't check them out properly they basically get away with it. I sent them a message and they said they have a london warehouse but I'd put money that it comes form china and the return address you get on your package is actually a mail forwarding company who basically throw it into the UK mail system when it arrives form china.
Let us know how you get on.

how do you get rid of the extra protection plan that's a rip off if ever I seen one

Yeah I know... As far as I know it's impossible to remove. It doesn't even cover the UK if anything goes wrong during the year!

The 2300mAh battery is probably the only weak point in this phone unfortunately.

Should be under the menu that you click on the left from the 'my coupons' section.

The delivery time (15 days...) screams shipped to order from China, dropped in UK then re-sent.

Check eBay maybe?

Check out eBay also if the price changes on this deal, same price, possibly a UK seller amongst it.

No 4g ?

No 4G, I'm with TalkTalk so personally wouldn't bother me. It is a budget phone remember and not everyone has 4G in their area, or on their monthly contract allowance.

Also AliExpress has a window where you get refunded if there's a problem so a DOA handset will not be a big problem like one coming from China.

Delivered before Christmas?

Wouldn't bank on it, when I bought Bluboo it arrived within a few days but that was a different seller. There's a chance you'll get it but by no means guaranteed.

it was a lot cheaper 4 months ago when i posted it
Not the same deal though, yours is from China this is from the UK.
You're always going to get it cheaper shipped from China, the trade off is the longer waiting time and risk (albeit Small) of having extra charges.

The reviewer states that he ran out of battery during the day, so a portable battery charger may be necessary if you're a heavy user.
It also appears that you can use the micro SD as internal storage, which is a very neat feature.
The viewing angles aren't supposed to be that great and brightness outside can be a little inadequate.
Also the launcher isn't that streamlined so installing Nova launcher would be a good idea.

how good is this phone for a 12yr old?

Good review of it here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=n4yKNBEkfKQ
If they don't like it I'm pretty sure you could get most of not all your money back selling it on eBay.
12 year olds are probably going to use chrome, Facebook, Twitter, Skype, YouTube. It would handle all of that. Light gaming would probably be fine too, but Asphalt8 would probably run badly on it given the processor.
This is a budget phone so the pinch point has to come in somewhere! The 2GB RAM, Gorilla Glass and fingerprint scanner are above what I was expecting so they're a plus point.

Wow amazing price for a 2gb ram phone. Will wait for comments though

Could always order and cancel if it's not a big ordeal?
There's a habit of jacking prices when things start selling well!
The processor is just a quad-core. Use 'will my phone work' to check compatibility with your network. This phone doesn't have 4G either.
It's an entry level phone but with better specs than I was expecting.
