I ordered mine from the first aliexpress link posted in this thread
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Sell-Mini-PC-with-both-Android-Windows-8-system/2044898752.html

It was the same seller, but I went in and remembered that I also
ordered 2 other items. Those are marked as shipped while the HDMI
stick is still processing, so I guess I'm in the same boat as you.
