Out of curiosity, what companies besides KnC offer refunds?

we are not exactly sure that knc offers refunds (imho) I was told on here that because our orders THAT came AFTER the deadline of Oct 15th you suddenly COULD get a refund. This may always have been the case for the November orders .but for the 1st knc run they locked out refunds beginning of OCT I think it was.

So reading that and on a chance and yesterday morning my 520x Saturn still said PAID I requested a refund ( by the time I get this order it will be nov 1st and nov 15th will begin shipping on the next run from knc miner at the reduced cost...so this seemed  a better plan and small window of opportunity...)

Like 1/2 hr later I got an email from customerservice@kncminer.com saying that it was in "processing" and they they would get back to me today on if they can pull the unit and give me a refund..so if you have an item with PAID still on it .you have to jump...not sure if they will pull items in processing may  have only done that cause it just changed status for my Saturn unit and the customer rep saw it.

anyway the only window I know for people in the 1st run to get refunds w/o resorting to paypal and cc disputes.......If they just send me the Saturn anyway say I can't get a refund I'll just eat it...probably and mine...but for $4K to use or save for another day ...under current 'dump' of asic devices what the heck worth a shot ...would not mind the 2nd toy but hey..if your gonna dangle a refund in front of me with the next month looming and I already have a Jupiter on the way....i'll bite...(of course all my choices are wrong....so we will see..in the btc world anyway)


The exact same thing happened with me - I requested a refund yesterday, and between the time I requested it, and the time they responded (a few hours), it changed to processing.  However they did promise to manually remove it from the production line and now my status says "Full Refund Pending".  I have given them my bank account info so hopefully it transfers smoothly.

Looks like I may have pulled the ripcord just in time.



Well...I have not gotten anything back on if they did as they said they were gonna try..to pull my 520x Saturn order..I sent an email it was paid 1/2hr later customer service got at hold of me said it was processing and said they'd get back to me today it is like 4pm there I think...so sent a follow up msg...but don't look good from the refund point of view...shiny hobby toy point of view (in comparison to bfl) at least it will ship (unlike bfl)....again just can't see it as being prudent if nov 15th stuff coming out from knc  at reduced price...doing this all over again next month....in lets spike the network again ..... and BFL it seems is slamming out mini-rigs now (probably getting sued)....gonna be ugly...if they ship the 2nd unit Saturn I'll just mine...but if they get me a refund that would be cool to....I'm in it for the long haul anyway...so the only way this is gonna work is if BTC goes up and in turn demand in use of BTC goes up as well....a bunch of knuckle head miners running around buying stuff and driving up the network...in the ASIC version of 'chicken' is gonna end in a nerd bloodbath.....that bubble will pop w/o the use and demand for the coin also keeps up (or so how I understand this)

so the question now becomes for when my KNC miner can't float the BTC boat anymore and my yet to be shipped APRIL  BFL stuff that is 'submarined' so to speak...I'll see you guys all on the


ASICcoin Site (ducks ..hey don't throw stuff in the forum you could take out an I)


...where asic miners shall go to die (much like the elephant's graveyard)....(I'll be damned if this stuff and especially  the BFL stuff will just sit in a closet....denial yeah that's the ticket..they said I was mad ...mad they  said ..I'll show them ......wanders off mumbling to self with slight drool effect .........)
