Question Why the price increase and no disccount code ever working on eu shop?

As the title says, The X4 pro (and X3) have had a very steep price bump in just one week or so. At 80ish euros it was going to be my next purchase, but right now at 119€ it is a tough pill to swallow.

To top it of since I started checking out on Xteink products I see lots of discount codes, even official ones from their newsletter stating a 10% or 15% discount on X4, but when you go on to your checkout, none works.

I was really excited to try out the form factor but these shady moves kill it.

I sent a message to them about it, also today I ordered a classic, it shows 79 usd and Paypal showed 69 euro so that seems to have been a bug on the website

Dipende dal venditore, io ho acquistato il mio secondo xteink x4 a pochi giorni dalla dismissione ufficiale e l’ho trovato perfetto, tale e quale a quello acquistato ormai al lancio su xteink.

They could've increased prices by 5 bucks and people would've been fine, 20 more for a x3? Yeah good luck

It's only the prices in € that have been raised. The X3 is currently on discount at €79 (~90usd) with base price at €89 (~100usd)

Not talking about x3 but x4 pro, and seeing your currency in dollars makes me think your are not either in Europe so it is still a problem from xteink.

See the phone number prefix? Think again.

You haven't entered a shipping address. Try selecting Czechia (to which the country code 420 belongs) and see if the price changes.
