Personally I would avoid it, I cant find any shop reviews/ratings for awooza.com

If it were me I would buy a brand new one off ebay, they sell for ?200 + ?20 shipping. If you were unlucky enough to get it stopped through customs you'll have to pay ?7 for the admin fee of Parcel Force paying the customs charges - those customs charges will be the going VAT rate (20%) slapped onto the purchase price of the item.

With all of that in mind, the worst case scenario is you'll be paying ?267 for a 64GB zune and have to wait 2-3 weeks for it to get into your hands, BUT you'll have the piece of mind of not getting scammed.

Hey thanks for the reply.

I decided to buy from amazon.com in the end. Was 250 all in (shipping and a customs deposit).

Plus I have the piece of mind that they are reliable.

Should be here in a couple of weeks.

Cant wait.

I recently tried to buy an iPad which the site claimed was in stock. Paid for the item then after 10 days and numerous emails which awooza ignored I filed a claim for a refund via PayPal. Refund was granted with 24hrs and then I received an email from [email protected] stating the item was now in stock and would arrive with the next 5 days. Absolutely dreadful experience and I thought I had lost my ?500 quid.

I wouldn't advise anyone to use awooza.com based on my experience.

I ordered some headphones from Awooza. I only found out later that they are not actually based in the UK ( why the hell were they on UK google shopping results?)

8 days later no surprise they hadn't arrived. I filed a PayPal complaint and the transaction was refunded immediately which posts the question to me, is this company actually legitimate? And did the company actually send the item?

I think not!

My advice would be to AVOID them completely and don't be sucked in by their cheaper prices

Do not go near these scumbags!!! After around 4 weeks of not receiving my order they emailed saying sorry but there were truobles with thier orders and say it will be sent asap, they reply to your emails until the 45 day cut off period with Paypal to get your money back, it's not been nearly 4 months and they won't reply to a single email since the Paypal cut off date. This company is nothing but filthy, lying scums. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!! I lost $84 ; ((((

    • Apple releases iOS 26.5.2 with dozens of security fixes for iPhone by Karthik Mudaliar Apple has released iOS 26.5.2 and iPadOS 26.5.2, which are security-only updates for the iPhone and the iPad. The update brings a bunch of security fixes for WebKit, WebRTC, WebKit Storage, WebKit Canvas, Web Extensions, libxslt, IOGPUFamily, and even the kernel. Some of the WebKit issues that were fixed could have allowed malicious web content to disclose sensitive user information, exfiltrate cross-origin data, crash Safari, or process restricted web content outside the browser sandbox. One notable WebKit Storage bug could let a malicious website to silently hijack clipboard data, according to Apple’s description. Other WebKit-related flaws involved memory corruption, use-after-free bugs, type confusion, out-of-bounds writes, permissions problems, and cross-origin data handling issues. The update also includes three kernel-related fixes. Apple says one of the flaws could let an app write kernel memory or cause unexpected system termination, while another may leak sensitive kernel state, and a third could corrupt kernel memory or terminate the system unexpectedly. Although Apple hasn't described them as remote web attacks, kernel bugs are still important to fix, as they can sometimes be chained with other flaws to escape app or browser restrictions. The updates are available for iPhone 11 and later, iPad Pro 12.9-inch 3rd generation and later, iPad Pro 11-inch 1st generation and later, iPad Air 3rd generation and later, iPad 8th generation and later, and iPad mini 5th generation and later. Similar security fixes also came with the latest update to macOS Tahoe 26.5.2, which Apple released on the same day. That overlap is not surprising, since Safari, WebKit, WebRTC, and other underlying components are shared across Apple’s platforms. Users are advised to update their devices sooner rather than later as these security fixes are crucial. iOS 26.5.2 can be installed from Settings > General > Software Update. Similarly, Mac users can find macOS Tahoe 26.5.2 through System Settings > General > Software Update.
    • Taken them long enough, that is one good thing. I still refuse to have a Whatsapp account, because it still need a phone number to have an account. don't want to give Meta my phone number
    • Good think I still have SDRAM and FP RAM sitting around.
    • Fitbit Charge 6 fitness tracker with Google apps is now at its lowest price with 47% off by Fiza Ali Amazon is currently offering the Fitbit Charge 6 fitness tracker at its all-time low price with a 47% discount. The device features an AMOLED touchscreen display protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3 that should offer improved scratch resistance and durability. The Charge 6 is equipped with a range of sensors including an optical heart rate sensor, a 3-axis accelerometer, built-in GPS with GLONASS support, red and infrared sensors for SpO2 monitoring, a skin temperature sensor, an ambient light sensor, a vibration motor, NFC, and multipurpose electrical sensors compatible with the ECG and EDA Scan apps. Heart rate is recorded every second during exercise tracking and every five seconds during normal daily use. The device requires the Google Health app for setup and synchronisation. Furthermore, Bluetooth provides wireless connectivity for syncing and communication with devices running Apple iOS 16.4 or later and Android 11.0 or later.

The tracker operates in temperatures ranging from 14°F to 113°F and at altitudes of up to 28,000 feet. Moreover, the included Infinity band is made from a flexible silicone material and features a loop-and-peg fastening.
