The shipping process is:
1. We ship the parcel to our local logistics company. If we have more than a few hundred
to ship at one time, the company will come and pick them up.
2. The logistics company ship them to Hong Kong DHL (preferred), or Hong Kong UPS/Fedex
if DHL shipments are overfilled.
3. Hong Kong DHL ship them to the target location.
It is usually slower than shipping directly with DHL, but it reduces the risk of exportation
investigation. It also reduces the cost of shipping so that we could keep the free shipping
policy for longer time.
Sounds perfectly reasonable to me. I'm happy that you are taking measure to keep our costs low. There was never any doubt from anyone (else).
If your prices were higher due to different shipping methods and/or export fees, you'd be hearing about how much better a deal the S3's are. You can't please everyone.
Guess when you are the only one "shipping" you can afford to slight your customers. 30 days until Bitmain ships again, I can not wait as this "deal" is not winning my attention.
Grow the fuck up.
