I've ordered 48 S1's from BitMain. Only twice has an order taken 4 business days to get to me and that is due to 1) Ice Storm and 2) Plane Malfunction, both UPS issues.
It is very common for it to take 3 business days, and it is often the case that UPS will fly the shipment from China to Kentucky on Sunday and even on holidays. Once it departs china, it is 24 to 48 hours to my doorstep.
In other words, I do not think that BitMain has earned the "be mining in 7 to 10 days" tag in your post.
I'll remove this post if your post gets fixed. There are a lot of dishonest companies. I think it is worth sticking up for one of the few honest ones.
sorry paintshop, but facts are facts.....please see my imgur pics....you will see that I too have placed many orders with BITMAIN, and yes they so far have been one of the FEW suppliers to really pull through. They do have some slight kinks to work out but all in all they are great.
All I am trying to do here is speed thing up a bit for everyone. My premium is not set in stone as this thread is still tentative.
So if you look at my order page you will see that my last 2 orders were placed March 5 and March 7. The March 5 order got here yesteday March 10 (5 days to mining time) and the March 7 order is not here and is STILL NOT scheduled for delivery. I can provide proof for this too if need be.
So for me, 3 days is fantasy and reality is more like 5 days or longer. So no need to retract your statement, as I see no need to retract mine.
Any takers?? I have one interested party thinking of coming over later tonite for 7 units....I will keep you posted.
Another pic has been added to imgur also Note the Green 'D' sticker. All boxes in Last shipment had them. They didn't have them before. Any ideas?
