This is exactly why i ordered a 16/2GB Beelink Mini MXIII form China (you most likely know which site), arrived within 3 weeks to Canada. Powered it on and just flashed LE to internal right away and couldn't be happier, i too wanted the odroid also looked at the wetek hub before ordering from China. My cost was about $70 CAD including a certified power supply for the MXIII.
I suggest you do the same until we get better alternatives, not worth buying from Amazon since i rarely see 16/2GB and if they are they cost $70+tax. But maybe worth it to save shipping time if you find the right box thats known to work. I converted a friend's MXQ to LE because the FW was crap which saved some coin for them. The box is snappy and works well but 1GB is not enough if left on 24/ 7, if you power it off after use you won't have any issues.
The LibreELEC forums have a few theads of known working boxes that may help.
