I have a feeling the group buy died out in the last few seconds as Canaan is scrambling, to manage their growth as a company; which includes policies procedures and standards. This also falls into the "wow we're big now" lets make sure we are following all rules and regulations that our government has imposed, in dealing with all forms of currency and exchanges. The latter being a big one because on the face of it any of these large companies can easily appear as a front for money laundering.

My take away from all of it, is that they did care enough to try and work with and help us. They just lack the customer/sales support staff, as well as logistics planners for their current demand in the industry. I do look forward to continuing to deal with them in the future. Hopefully they funnel a large amount of their profits into improving these areas.

Way to stay positive, it is nice that they tried to do something to work with us, it is unfortunate how things have pretty much ended. Again thanks to you and sidehack, as well as Steve. Sometimes things just fall apart.

Those poor little resellers had to go ask for protection from the big bad group of people who won't pay their prices anyways.
Whatever the issue is, we should have been shutdown well before the 11th hour, instead of wasting your time and getting sidehack to  order parts to build Psu's; for an order that now probably won't materialize.
Overall just frustrating to deal with the company but they understand you just have to be marginally better than the other guy.

It would be nice if they just helped that order along; and let us bang out 3 smaller orders right quick make everybody happy. I'll definitely wait to hear if we get good news before making any other plans.
But if the worst should happen maybe we could salvage a North America order if we keep within the BTC payment cap.

Thanks for the replies.

Hi there,
So just checking at the moment is this still dead in the water waiting for a fix? If we do get this moving again can someone pm me, as I don't want to miss this or hold things up in any way. Thanks again.

Forward progress is nice, considering the back up plan may have just fallen apart.

Just wondering anyone who ordered last time that it said free shipping, did they tack on a shipping charge when it came payment time?

So just in case I missed it, when are we paying you? I want to make sure I'm not off gallivanting, lol.

And what will be the plan to pay to cover shipping after stateside delivery?

 

Reply sent thanks again. If needed for reship, I am in Manitoba Canada R0J 1H0.

Thanks for the tip, yeah I think we just congregated here as Canadians, didn't seem to be enough interest to try and set up a Canadian buy.

I'm sure everyone myself included appreciates the work you are putting in, who knows what will happen first. Half of us have orders in so maybe we get an address, or maybe they do what they did to you in August and jump a few people and try and get the 60 units sold. Either way thanks for trying to get us a 2nd option, in an industry that doesn't provide many. Personally I'm still rooting for my original order as I'm sure it will be a bit cheaper considering the reship from the US to Canada.

No problem, happy to help when I can

I'm in Manitoba Canada.

I've also never set one of these up before so maybe I'm missing something.

That was Canadian, using the numbers from the canaan site for estimated shipping and todays exchange. Also a CBSA calculator which estimated around 6900 for duties and taxes, it does note that as personal use so i'm not sure what they would say about a group of personal users. Not bad but it doesn't look like we are close enough to 60 to make it happen.

I was just crunching some numbers and based on the CSBA calculator I could get a pallet into Manitoba, and shipped to canadian addresses for approximately 1060-1100. Not to bad if there were enough Canadians we could get together.

Wondering the same but I can wait if you haven't heard from customs yet, 2 x 741, and 2 controllers. If you're all full no worries, Thanks

Hi,
I did a quick search on the product number and found another ebay listing that shows it connected to a circuit breaker and from there to an outlet. Here is the link

Also your seller may be able to help you with finding what you need. Good luck.

Hi there, not sure what help you need, Maybe wondering about the cord end??

but you may want to post this in it's own thread or one of the other PSU/PDU threads for more assistance.

Hi there,

Did anyone get an address? All I got was the option to hit pay on the website again and another auto e-mail, to replay or create another ticket, but I didn't do it this time as that would be the 4th. I'm order # 89499, I'll post if I get a payment address tonight.

Side note for Steven Mosher, could you pass along to the right person, to try and limit the # of auto correspondences sent out in relation to an order. I just found it to be confusing and probably a heavy load on your system as I didn't realize it opened a new support ticket every time I was responding until the 3rd one. Thanks for the help and keeping the group up to date, I appreciate it as it definitely calms the nerves and helps with being patient.
