Miyoo Flip Launch Pricing: A comparison of prices
So Miyoo has multiple official stores on different platforms such as Amazon, Aliexpress, and Taobao. I was curious about the launch pricing on these platforms since the device will launch pretty soon. Since taobao and aliexpress links are blocked on reddit, links to the device listings and prices are available at the very bottom of my price tracking spreadsheet.

| Platform | Price |
|---|---|
| Amazon | $89.99 |
| Aliexpress | $77.69 (or 69.69 after coupons starting on Jan 1) |
| Taobao | 339 CNY for first 300 customers, 369 CNY regular pricing which translates to $46 early bird pricing and $50 regular pricing. You'll need to pay shipping on Taobao. |
First of all before I say anything, credit for Taobao pricing goes to the incredible u/kencyf who helped me find the official miyoo taobao store and flip listing since everything is in Chinese on that app.
To no one's surprise, Amazon has the most expensive pricing out of all 3 since with fulfilled by Amazon and their logistics, they take roughly 30% of final item value as their fee. Aliexpress precoupon pricing is pretty expensive too at $77.69 although there will be an $8 off 69 coupon that goes live on January 1st which will bring the price down to $69.69.
If you're an advanced user, taobao a domestic chinese platform is actually the cheapest out of all 3. The launch pricing for the first 300 units is 339 CNY which by today's exchange rate is roughly $46. After the first 300 units are sold, the price becomes 369 CNY. This does not include any coupon stacking as I am unfamiliar with taobao and if they have any sort of coupon/discount stacking. You'll need to pay shipping and that's variable if you choose by air or sea. From what I've read it's between $2-10 of shipping depending on which shipping method you choose along with your proximity from their warehouses. However, I would not recommend this unless you're an experienced taobao user.
Lastly, as with all my pricing posts, there are affiliate links and corresponding nonaffiliate links on my spreadsheet. I usually update my entirely nonaffiliate link spreadsheet for sales too but it hasn't been updated for tonight since the next sale is January 1st.
