I bought an Odriod once. It was DOA and at the insane shipping prices I just took it as a lesson learned to never buy Odroid again. I've gone through probably 20 Pi's and never had one DOA or even die for that matter.

I have many Odroids, none were DOA.

If you are in North America, I would recommend purchasing from https://ameridroid.com/ or https://olympianled.com/brand/hardkernel/
