Amazon tracking showed up. Not sure when. Mine did ship from China. Delivery is set for April 10.

Must be on one of those slow boats from China we hear about...

If you have a tracking #, you'll be able to track it when it arrives in NY, wildob! Luv me sleeping beauty blue mini. It made the same trip and is still on its first charge from the beginning of December! You can join the rest of us that have to be dragged away from the bathroom face-washing routine. Also, you'll be able to infuse your skincare with it!

I ordered 3 minis from DH Gate. The first one I could tell was a dupe because of the FOREO on the front but I ordered 2 more from a different seller and they look, feel and work like the real thing ( except no warranty card). I also have the real mini and I have to say if you asked me which was the real one I could not tell except they are different colors. The one on Amazon does look like a fake. Mine came in the exact same box as the real FOREO. CAshopper I think you won't be sorry waiting for yours.

. How lomg did yours take to be sent? I think I ordered mine a month or so ago and still haven't received it. Im starting to wonder if I failed to actually placed the order or failed to do so at the end. Maybe a month or more is typical for something from DH Gate? Believe it or not I'm tempted to order another from Amazon in hopes it may arrive sooner lol!

You should have received an email receipt from DHGate for your payment and a PO # with a tracking number, CAS. Three weeks to a month is the average for shipments. Once your order reaches New York (if you did place it), you will be able to track it to your location. HTH's

My Foreo (the real deal) pauses every 20 seconds or so, too, then pauses 3 times in succession when you're supposedly done with your entire face. Don't know about the mini, but mine has several speeds, with the bumps on one side (the larger ones are on top, though - but I use them all everywhere on my face) and the waves on the reverse side.

Just because yours isn't an authentic Foreo doesn't mean the technology isn't the same. It's probably pretty easy to copy, and ultimately would deliver the same results, right? So I'd say you scored!

ETA: I just looked at yours, and the waves are different, shape a little different (than mine), but it's not trying to sell itself as a Foreo. I think I'm going to get the black one because I've always really liked how it looks. I can keep it in the shower instead of having to carry mine ALL THE WAY OVER from the sink! :-)

I notice on the front it has a + and a - sign -- can you change speeds? One review said it's one speed, so just wondering if s/he was mistaken, otherwise I'm not sure why they'd bother with that. Mine has the abilitly to select different speeds, but I never change it anyway, so I'm happy either way, just curious. Thanks!!

Hahah! I agree, I was reading this post and I just went and bought this because I have two bathrooms I use,1 in the morning to get ready and 1 at night so I don't wake the kids ,hahaha,now I won't have to keep retrieving my Foreo luna mini around! I do have the original,I'm anxious to try this and compare. You can't beat that price! I got the black one also ,thanks for the heads up ladies

The slow boat from China arrived!

I tried "it" (need to find the brand name or figure out something appropriate to call it) out last night but, by the time I got around to it, I was too tired to give it a proper trial. I used it with my SKINN PM Cleanser - the Olive & Enzyme one that smells like an orange Creamsicle.

I wish English had been the first language of the person who translated the instructions...

I think I'll read up on instructions for the Forea online & that should help me. Not sure if this can be used on both the side with "feelers" lol... and the smooth side too. Been so long since I read up on it I forgot!

It vibrates for changing areas & I expect to ignore that. I don't need assistance in the timing area. The "move on" vibrations are one reason I never was interested in upgrading my Clarisonic Mia. It is just annoying & unnecessary for me.

I love the purple color! I am such a purple gal...

Not sure you'll get your questions answered at the Foreo site as yours is set up differently than the Lunas although the technology is the same. Sounds like the side with the nubs is for the actual cleansing and the side with the horizontal wavy lines is for infusion. There's not a whole lot to it. The speed is your choice. Just use it and charge it when it needs recharging. Just used mine with the am cleanser...so refreshing...and infused my DWP lineup! Have fun with it!

I always wondered about the origin of the Foreo luna. I bought a dupe from Amazon seller docooler, and it arrived in 8 days. I've been using it for a month, and my skin is amazingly better. Docooler is out of stock on amazon, but is available on Amazon Canada. It's listed under "silicone skin mini ultrasonic rechargeable facial cleasing beauty brush".....whew! $18.89 Canadian dollars, which is approximately $17.oo US dollars. Well worth it. I am very pleased.

I actually got a dupe from eBay, however the seller tried selling it off as an authentic Foreo (they even photoshopped a Beauty Insider receipt from Sephora). So once I received it, tried to register it on the Foreo website, found it was a fake and I ended up getting my money back AND got to keep the dupe Foreo. So it was a win-win for me

Wow, cool that this thread was still available to pull up on this new board, good job finding it Maryland_USA. I have mentioned looking at Amazon to the faux version to a couple posters lately so this may come in handy for them to check out. Thanks!

Caitlin, what a jerky seller but in the end you scored!

SeaGal, I remember their was another dupe Foreo thread that was pages and pages long. Bummer I can't find it. But anyways, I had a BIG HUNCH it was going to be a fake Foreo (full size Foreo for $60, nooo way). So I ordered it (this was before Amazon had dupes & I was wayyyy too impatient to wait a month to get it from China). Muahahah, I outsmarted the system.
