hi, i just wanted to buy 8 antminers s3, at the price of 4 btc, and they ask me 2.59 for shipping with ups.
anyone knows something about this, cause they didn t say anytihing of shipping costs.

Shipping used to be included, now it's not.  IIRC it states that somewhere.
there is no point to buy from them anymore, you pay more then half of price per unit for shipping

There has been no point of buying HW for some time now, yet people keep lining up.   
We need to make statements in context. At the present BTC - fiat rate, there is (probably) no point in buying mining hardware, however, if the BTC - fiat rate was to spike (and possibly hold) to its previous highs, then the batch 11 pricing of the S3+ plus shipping will most likely turn out to be a fantastic investment. I have to agree that it does not look like a good investment at the present moment.
