2013-06-28: group buy #7 setup
2013-06-28: if you order 30+, I will ship via USPS Express service. (USA offer only)
2013-06-28: add .35 for next day FedEx shipping within USA to any order.
2013-06-28: don't have enough funds to order?  Consider using www.bitinstant.com  to fund via money gram deposit directly to your (NOT mine!!!) bitcoin address.  bitcoins are sent to you as soon as that cash is deposited at your local wallmart, cvs, jewel etc...
2013-06-28: HOW TO SIGN A MESSAGE TO ME (YOUR SHIPPING INFO): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=195647.msg2291965#msg2291965
                  Please NOTE: the above example is NOT the same as sending a signed message with your transaction.
                  If you are new to this (aka noob), please read this so that you understand what to do.  This is the single most problematic step in the ordering process.
                  Here's how to sign a message with a blockchain.info wallet: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=180068.0
2013-06-28: This group is now open to international orders.  It is limited to those countries where FedEx can deliver.  I charge an additional 1 btc for the first pound of weight to ship
                  internationally.  the minimum weight I can specify with FedEx is 1 pound.  It takes a hell of alot of these units to weigh 1 pound.  I reserve the right to switch carriers if I
                 can not use FedEx to your location.  for international only: please include your phone number that will go on the fedex shipping label
2013-06-29: friedcat's stock is begining to run low, time to wrap up group 8:
Timer removed. End time: 2013-06-29+23:59:59

Pricing:
The minimum order size for the group buy is 50 units.

The cost of shipping up to 10 USBs is .09 bitcoins.  Shipping cost in this batch is different than other batches.

Insurance cost is $2.40 for $1000 of declared value.  This adds .0218 btc.

Handling and processing is .15 btc for up to 10 USBs

So this is about (10*.99)+.09+.0218+.15 = 10.1618 BTC per 10 USB devices. which is BTC1.01618 per USB device when you buy 10.

Note: If you want to pickup your order in person, you may do so by appointment, after I finish shipping first, your cost is 1.0 btc per USB device under this option.

Ordering:

If you still want to buy and are fine with the above pricing model, then you will have to participate by paying for your order upfront.

There is one common payment address: 18DQb8uTGMtyF69oHBLHCaPrXvX7iEYnBw

To buy:

pick the number of ASICMiner Block Erupter USBs to order: N where N is between 1 and 10 only
send the total amount (C = (N * 0.99)+ 0.2618) to the given address
post your order in the following format: <forum nick>; <N>; <C>; <sending address>
ensure the sending address is under your control, so you can sign with it in case of disputes

You can order in multiples of up to 10. Meaning: if you want to order say 11, you would place two orders: one for 10 units and another order for 1 unit.  to order 12, you would place 2 orders where N=10 and second order where N=2... and so on.

Here are the costs for ordering:
Qt  1=.99*1 + 0.2618=.99+0.2618= 1.2518 BTC
Qt  2=.99*2 + 0.2618=1.98+0.2618= 2.2418 BTC
Qt  3=.99*3 + 0.2618=2.97+0.2618= 3.2318 BTC
Qt  4=.99*4 + 0.2618=3.96+0.2618= 4.2218 BTC
Qt  5=.99*5 + 0.2618=4.95+0.2618= 5.2118 BTC
Qt  6=.99*5 + 0.2618=5.94+0.2618= 6.2018 BTC
Qt  7=.99*5 + 0.2618=6.93+0.2618= 7.1918 BTC
Qt  8=.99*5 + 0.2618=7.92+0.2618= 8.1818 BTC
Qt  9=.99*5 + 0.2618=8.91+0.2618= 9.1718 BTC
Qt  10=.99*5 + 0.2618=9.9+0.2618= 10.1618 BTC
11 is 10+1 pricing
12 is 10+2 pricing
etc...
.....
....
...
..
.

If there is enough demand to order an additional 50 unit batch, I'll do so (given they are available to order). Those not getting into the queue will get their coins returned (to the sending address).

Shipment:
The USB miners will be shipped to you within 1 day of me receiving them.  Shipped in cardboard box, not padded envelopes... Here's the shipping sketch:

Communication:
I live in Chicago (CST time zone: UTC/GMT -5 hours) and have a day-job that allows me ample time to devote to this endeavor. I do sleep at night, so if I don't answer at night, please be patient.

Cheers,

Canary

he's PM'ed me recently asking to be mentioned on the group buys.  he himself was a buyer on my group buy.

I was mostly interested in the low fee and speed of the new bitinstant features, I already have a large payment en route dwolla -> campbx

btcquick works good in a pinch. coinbase works great on price if you can wait about 4 business days for an ach to clear.

THIS GROUP IS OFFICIALLY CLOSED.
thank you all!
good night

I need more lol

Seems we are ahead of schedule on this one...No?

Any chance you have a few more for sale?

I'm certainly not complaining.


Are both batches confirmed en route?

 :o omg, too late again. I hope you open a 9th Group Buy   ;D

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=237661.0

some from the OP have shipped due to available supply from 7.

 :o Oooh, does this mean mine have shipped from you already, Canary? I'm first on the list, but it doesn't show as shipped in the OP.

Edit : I see the last folks on the list got theirs shipped first  ???  :'(

Brilliant! :)

Just received my 5 sticks! All five working like a charm!

Canary your efforts are greatly appreciated!

I usually hate to agree with contentious post on a forum,  but I'd have to agree with this poster. Why were the last orders the first to ship? What is the ETA on the balance of the orders?

I believe that he shipped to people who participated in the group 7 buy because he had ordered some extras and shipped the group 7+8 orders together if he could. Also I think that he has just moved the people he shipped to down to the bottom of the list for clarity.

Thank you for paying attention to my posts!!!

I didn't want to stir up an issue, I was just a bit confused. Thanks for the clarification.

Ditto!

I'm going to guess that I should have these in hand on the 5th.  the 4th is a holiday and I doubt DHL works on the 4th.

Thanks for the update!

If you're like me, and have neglected laundry while anxiously watching the mailbox, you could probably use a fresh shirt to wear:

3-color silkscreen print on 100% cotton shirt. $18 plus S&H, but the price drops to $15+S&H if we can get enough orders. :)

Check it out here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=249569.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=249569.0)

due to the change in the btc/usd rate.  any NEW requests for shipping upgrades are based on the following price:
USPS Express: .3 btc
FedEx ND: .57 btc
FedEx ND + Saturday: .79 btc
FedEx international: 1.43 btc

well... finally DHL has screwed up... after the 4th, they apparently have double the load to deliver...
so the status on my tracking number says delivery attempted, business closed...
interesting since business is not closed and there are many people here today.
I guess the driver is running late with other packages and decided that today, my business is closed...
I called DHL, they are trying to setup re-delivery today but it being the day after a holiday, I'm not holding my breath; I have the address of their station and will go there after 8 PM to pickup in person if all else fails.
however, i have to warn everyone that worst case scenario is me receiving them Monday 7/8/13.

Thank you for the update, very professional response. Well done, Canary!

Does DHL deliver on Saturdays?

Not to businesses except for mucho surcharge.

make sure to take a Ice Pick with you. After you get your packages find the van that was supposed to deliver your package and shank his tires!

OK... DHL has called me back and said that they will have the package available for me to pickup at 7:30 PM.
After I pick it up, i will jet over to the FedEx station and send out those packages that are listed using FedEx delivery method.  This does not mean that if you are listed as FedEx ND that you will receive it tomorrow (saturday).  you will receive it Monday.  Only those who pay for FedEx Saturday delivery are going to receive on Saturday via FedEx.  Hope this is clear.

The USPS shipping method will ship out tomorrow.

All of this is also predicated on me actually picking up the delivery at 7:30 PM, which is in 3 hours from now.

thank you for your suggestion, I would prefer not to resort to this measure as it will certainly limit my capacity to ship out your orders while being behind bars awaiting bail...  ;D

Ill set up a group buy for your bail  ;D

Its in the interests of the bitcoin community that canary gets owned by as many as possible, put me down for a share..

At DHL location... Waiting for package to be brought out...

 ;D  ;D  ;D

Off to FedEx!

Dont forget dinner

FedEx packages have shipped out.  The rest will go out USPS tomorrow...
Time for a cold one!!  ;D

group #10 is up: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=251851.0

10 USB erupters safely received today and all are now successfully mining.
Many, many thanks for a smooth transaction and regular updates via these forum threads.
Certainly would be interested in getting more of these at some point in the future.
Great job Canary on these group buys!

Fed Ex just dropped my 10 off, time to get them crunching!! ;)

Thanks again Canary!!  ;D

Got my shipment today also - half golds, half blacks.  Thanks Canary!

Received and hashing away! Thanks!

that was nice a fast to Canada!!  ;D
just a hair under 3 days door to door... not bad! 'eh? LOL

Just wanted to say thanks for a quick and easy transaction. Will do business again!!

Is this group buy eligible for the promo discount?
