I have been following the mining trend in India and as far my calculations go it is not profitable, not sure why you are ordering these miners anyway.

No, I haven't bought any miners in such miners but I hope what you ordered is legit and you get them in working condition.

One suggestion would be to check the "computer hardware" section of this forum where we have many trusted users buying and selling mining and mining related equipment. Rest assured you would not be scammed by the trusted users there but you should use an escrow none the less, although again I lack information as to who does such escrows in this subcontinent. Maybe some of our well known users here would be willing to.

According to my calculations and the electricity rates in my area, of $0.07 i would be making pretty good profit if i actually receive these two actually.

Oh thanks for the info! i might actually wanna take a look around there.

Adding an update to the post for 28th of August :

The main issue here in my country is not the legitimacy of the miners as much as it is with the customs holding the packages and never clearing them.
The customs have been known to even dispose off the mining hardware that enters india or in rare occassions having the customer to ship the product back to the seller paying the visa fees and shipping costs all over again.

I was wondering if there are ways or lesser known courier services who ship to india and would clear the packages, KingTrans apparently being one.
Now i dont know if its legit (i asked in the off topic section about it).
But the seller i am buying this from apparently has and shared tracking numbers of customers from india who purchased miners from them in the last month.
http://ecg.kingtrans.cn/WebTrackHere is the link i was sent where i was able to track with the numbers provided.

The website looks fishy and almost fake, but looking into it a bit more, the website has decent traffic and is about 50 years old.

The seller claims that even if the package through this service takes a few more days to arrive, the people working in this service "help" you with the customs if your package gets stuck .
I am somewhat inclined towards asking the seller to ship my orders via this service rather than DHL since i am taking a risk anyway and DHL has been known to dispose off mining hardware BUT i am not quite sure about it yet.

What do you think would be my best shot to make all this work?
