Re: Bitmain looks like they're releasing a 15GH/s DASH miner called the AntMiner D3

Ups charging me 177 USD for 2 machines duty tax doesn't that seem a bit high wth...

Bitmain must have tripled the item value or UPS is price gouging.

DO NOT USE UPS for shipping. I repeat DO NOT USE UPS!!!

These fuckers charged me 163 USD for 2 machines just like you, and held it hostage until I paid them back. I will never ever use them again, ever! I advice people to choose other shippers other than UPS. They're not idiots, I bet they know what's in them, and they want to take advantage of it, as much as possible.

Where are you from ? What are your import fees ? Do you pay VAT ? That would be 5.5% total fees. Consider yourself fortunate wherever you live.

United States! I would have been happier with Fedex instead.

Like I said, consider yourself lucky. If you lived in EU, you'd have to pay import fees (some 2-4%) and then vat on top of that (approx.20%) and then some. The 1500$ miner would cost you 350-400$ more each. And you also got the first batch, so what the hell. Mine the s$$t out of it Wink

You can't beat Hungary:) 27% VAT, and import tax is 3-7%.
