So I noticed this Dutch/German Apple authorized seller Otto is selling HomePod Mini's and is delivering them to addresses in the Netherlands in Januari.
(HomePod and HomePod Mini are currently not being sold by Apple in the Netherlands, Siri doesn't speak Dutch on HomePod)

I hope this means the official HomePod and HomePod Mini release in the Netherlands is happening next month (however chances are slim to 'mini').
It could be a mistake from Otto or their advertising partner of course, but we like to believe otherwise. :D

Details
- Its listed as being available/delivered mid januari ('Levertijd: halverwege januari’)
- checkout seems to accept the order (I cancelled the iDeal bank payment screen, didn't actually place the order.
- Otto allows it to ship to addresses in the Netherlands
- Otto advertises this HomePod Mini in Dutch Google shopping results (through advertising partner Aldoor.nl)
- Otto is a German company, product information displays the German version of the ‘authorized seller’ Apple logo.
- the German version of the HomePod Mini page lists it as 'Apple HomePod Mini Smart Speaker (WLAN (WiFi), Bluetooth)’, the Dutch version as ‘Apple smart speaker’

Otto’s ETA is now end of March, right after Apple makes HomePod available in the Netherlands. :p
 
Hey! I ordered one from AddingUp through their Marktplaats page in November for €137 (including shipping), and I'm pretty happy with it. I ordered in mid-November and it arrived in 2 days.

I just ordered another one from FNAC (France) for €112 (including shipping to NL) and it should arrive by 12 January. Pretty excited to have a stereo pair!

I'm not sure if official NL launch is imminent, but I have been following it on Otto.nl and was pretty surprised by the sudden jump in the selling price (possibly due to Otto running out of stock and a third party seller's listing taking over).

€112 is a super sweet deal considering it includes shipping from France! 🥳 Stereo pair, awesome.

Yeah, probably not, but I really hope Apple launches an updated HomePod + the current HomePod mini in the Netherlands in March.

I do not think that a Dutch launch is going to happen anytime soon, at least not officially by Apple with a Dutch Siri. I also picked one up from AddingUp. Hooked me up with some discount since someone returned the product to him. I can recommend him. Other than that, HomePod mini is the perfect speaker at your bedside.
 
I just ordered two 'mini's through Conrad Electronic. They have sent me a confirmation that includes my Amsteerdam Address, and there are no shipping costs. However, there is no delivery date yet. It says:
Lieferung erfolgt sobald verfügbar.
(Delivery as soon as it is available)

Probably right after the 23rd of March. :)
