Sorry to hear about your lost package. UPS lost my shipment of two S1's.

Re: the investigation - the UPS rep I spoke to said that the receiver can open an investigation, but that you cannot make any claims for reimbursement unless the sender also requests one. I was assured that, even if the investigation is initiated by the receiver, the sender can still request the investigation later.

I'm not fully clear on whether we'll even be eligible to receive any compensation if the packages remain lost, but you might want to ask that UPS start an investigation. For what it's worth, my UPS investigation has been ongoing since Tuesday morning, and I have not yet gotten any updates from them. They told me this process can take 8 business days.

I PM'ed sushi about this and he told me he will ask the Bitmain shipping people to make a claim about the lost packages also.

Hope that helps.

UPS has apparently lost my shipment of two S1 miners. They made it to my local UPS hub, but disappeared after that (no scanning activity since January 3). UPS is going to open an "investigation," but this is pretty discouraging.

I've received hundreds of UPS packages over the years, and have never had them lose anything until now. I wanted to post this here in case anyone else has had a similar tragic experience

Sushi, could you put me down for 1 more if there are still any available?

Same payment address?

Thanks!

Hi Sushi,

Just sent you a 0.05 BTC tip. Thanks for your time organizing this.

I posted in this thread earlier, saying I wanted to buy 3, but I never got a PM. Maybe you missed my post?

I'd actually like to buy a total of 5 of these now (buying a couple more for a friend). Let me know the payment address.

Thanks!

I'd like 3, please.

I also just finally registered today, although I've been an active (but unregistered) reader for several months.

I've been buying and mining bitcoins for about 4 months now. Still kicking myself for not buying BTC back when I first learned about it in 2011. I think the price was around $10 then!

Looking forward to hopefully contributing to the discussions here. I've learned a lot from these forums.
