I wish I had read the Dooyoo reviews before parting with my money. I ordered as Asus eePC, as they were consistently cheap. I ordered a bundle which was a 4GB card and carrying case (which I should have known I would not need, as there was one in the box when I opened it). The computer arrived on time and is fine, but the SD card was dead (confirmed on other hardware), and three weeks down the line, the case has not arrived. I have posted the dead card back to them through there quoted procedures. There seems to be little likelihood of getting satisfaction, and there is no easy route of complaint. I think I will be invoking the consumer credit act for a failed purchase.
There are three morals to this tale:
1 It is dangerous to mail order from abroad: you need protection of Engish law and geography
2 Things are cheap for a reason
3 Read the dooyoo reviews before parting with money
Summary: A mail order company worth avoiding.
