Had a question via the LitecoinTalk forum that I will also post here.

Question:
Can you ship to Canada? 

Answer:
It is possible.  We will need a full shipping address information to prepare proper quotes though.

I will update the "top post" of this thread accordingly to reflect this.

We have received quite a few requests for some Sapphire R9 290X Tri-X units.  If you are interested in these, drop me a note so I can make arrangements with our distributors since the lead time is 2.5-3 weeks out as noted in my original posting.  Please include the number of units and shipping zip code for proper quotes.

Thanks in advance.

If you reside in or near the Denver, Colorado area and once we have your requested item(s) in stock, local pickup by appointment is possible.

Shipping

• Shipping will be via FedEx Ground unless otherwise requested.  Shipping will be determined after initial order is placed and invoiced out accordingly.  Shipments via FedEx as our preferred shipper only.
• Signature releases will be required.
• Shipping possible to US and Canada at this time.
• Shipping to other location such as Asia or Europe most likely will be cost prohibitive in all honesty, but we can inquire accordingly on a case by case basis.  Please send a PM or open up a sales inquiry via our web site for more details.
• Note: Orders of computer hardware internationally could invalidate any manufacturer's warranty.  This includes GPU hardware.  If you wish to do so, you are doing such at your own risk and acknowledge this with our company.

Orders and Payment
The process:

• Order through our e-store here.
• We will advise on availability accordingly.  We do have some arriving stock as noted, so patience is a virtue.
• We will send out an invoice.  Our system takes Paypal directly.  If desired to pay in BTC, please advise of such in the Comment section during checkout.  We will invoice out via Coinbase accordingly.
• Payments via Paypal or via Coinbase only in US$.  We will use Coinbase's exchange rates at the time of invoicing.  DO NOT ASK FOR BTC PAYMENTS FROM ANOTHER EXCHANGE!
• Shipping to Paypal verified addresses only!  Shipping and handling costs to be calculated once an order is received and a second invoice for shipping will be issued and due upon receipt.  We can ship via any FedEx means, though FedEx Ground will be used as the "default" to keep things simple.
• No orders will be taken from any forum postings, only through our web site!   Paypal and Coinbase handles all of the payment processing as well to meet PCI compliance.
• Any payment not received within 48 hours after being invoiced will be automatically voided and canceled!  The available product(s) will move on to the next customer waiting in line.

How to do proper business sales and transactions 101
This is put in here since there are quite a few folks out there who just do not seem to understand nor think clearly when it comes to "buying an item online", especially in the crypto currency arena.  Linux ETC is a proper business entity, just like NewEgg, Tiger Direct, Amazon, etc.  

Normal purchase transaction:
Buyer places an order and provide means of acceptable payment to seller.  Seller then provides a sales order and/or an invoice for said purchase.   Payment is collected by buyer from seller.  Buyer ships out product to seller.  Product is signed for as being received by seller.  Transaction is complete.

It is simple as that.  If you do not wish to follow such simple and clear steps of a transaction that provides clear records of said transaction, then we will suggest doing business elsewhere.  When there are invoices with proper billing information such between a buyer and seller, this is a binding transaction until completed or mutually terminate by both parties.  Linux ETC has no issues putting who we are nor where we are located out towards our clients.  We suspect for anyone wanting an honest business transaction and purchase to be mutual and do the same in return.

I will be posting some more later about future orders as well as bulk GPU orders.  For those who are interested in such (Sapphires and Gigabyte brands), feel free to PM my directly with your "to order list".  Thanks in advance.

Does someone from CryptoValley admin team wish to explain why someone with an existing account cannot log into the pool, and withdraw their confirmed mined BILs?!?

Note:

• Tried the proper user name (and email address associated) and password.  No luck.
• Tried the mining pool site's "password reset" method.  Not functioning properly, returns "Invalid token!" error message upon submitting such.
• Sent emails to the domain owner (via "whois" lookup) since the mining pool's "contact" form is inoperative on two occasions (08 January when I did have access into the site; 16 January when I could not gain access into the site).  No response to present day (yes, I exercised patience waiting here I admit).

Would suggest others desiring to mine BIL via a pool to look elsewhere until this is resolved.  Will post any updates accordingly.

Still have some per my thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=426516.msg4654233 here.  Brand new and in stock.

Looks like NewEgg (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202045) is now out of stock of these as well now as of today.  Ironic since they were in stock yesterday (22 January) though perhaps briefly. 

Not a problem and certainly your choice of course.

Just price matching NewEgg which is a bit more common for folks, who does also have them in stock (at the moment). 

ShopBLT will not have these in stock since they "blind ship" from the previously mentioned distributor.  This distributor has been waiting for these since early December 2013...and still is waiting with numerous back orders noted (as sort of shown on ShopBLT's site).  A "blind ship" is where the retailer (ShopBLT in this case) has the distributor just ship directly to the consumer with a label and logo from the retailer.  So until ShopBLT has these "on hand" (as in there is inventory at ShopBLT), you will continue to see this unchanged.  I do not suspect this will be anytime soon, and I suspect they will increase their prices since the distributor prices have increased as well due to lack of supply and huge demand.

FWIW.

Considering they are out of stock (and will be for quite some time) there, and I know who their distributor is (we have the same one as well)...nope.

Not to "high jack" a thread here, but I just updated my posting about the Sapphire R9 280X Vapor-X's which are listed at US$429.95 each (+ shipping) with some photos.  These are brand new, factory sealed.  Original posting at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=426516.0 for more details.

We are also able to get the Sapphire R9 280X Toxic's and Sapphire R9 290X Tri-C's (limited availability here) with 1.5 to 2 weeks lead time.

US based.  Paypal, credit cards, or wire transfer accepted for payments via our web site.

Here are the images showing these are indeed "in hand".



And factory sealed "new" as well.

Just a small update, they have arrived as of 2:30PM US MST.  Will post some photos shortly.
