WOW! The payment was made on the 28th, and scheduled delivery is today!! Juan great job! I look forward to hashing this evening.
I honestly think the shipping issues are directly linked to UPS. The cards can only be packed as to allow minimal movement from sudden blunt impact. If they use any packing materials to make them rigid in their motherboard they would most likely be to rigid, and destroyed after the first drop they incurred. I order from China on a very regular basis, and all things being considered they pack most items better than companies in the US.
Please take into consideration these units are being dropped, kicked, pushed, thrown ect.. far to frequently. UPS is infamous for its disregard for parcels, speaking myself as a buisness owner. I can tell you they have a horrible track record with package handeling. Google their insurance amount claims, and it speaks volumes about their overall performance. They worry far to much about the package getting to its location in a certain time frame. If the customer receives the package, and it's undamaged consider it a sign of luck. I deal in CNC equipment, and ship stepper motors that are solid steel encased, and as I type this I just did a return cause they managed to break a motor mount (out of 1/4 steel!!)
I honestly feel Juan will back you up to get your miner running. He has far more to lose if he doesn't considering the amount of people who purchased from the GB. Personally I feel it's the true measure of a companies integrity the way they handle an issue when it arises. If he takes care of the issue immediately as he most likely will, then that reflects he's the man to save to your favorites for a purchase later.
This for the most part has been a real smooth process. If they could iron out the shipping courier parcel damages issue it would be perfect. Once my order is received I will leave Juan his well deserved trust feedback.
Juan once again Excellent job orchestrating this!!
