Just got an update on my shipping that was to be dilivered on Wednesday.  Here is the update:

09/22/2015   8:22 A.M.   A valid ID # (tax, personal, deferment) required for clearance is missing. We're working to obtain this information.
09/22/2015   8:21 A.M.   The package is awaiting clearing agency review. / The package is at the clearing agency awaiting final release.

I hope this is not going to be a delay.

Give them a call and make sure to provide them any information they are missing ASAP.
Happened to me twice with KNC Jupiters and Spondoolies systems.
Caused a few days in delay and ended up costing me a few bitcoins in profit

Thank you so much!!!  They are in KY and said that all they needed was my tax id or ssn.  I gave it to them and they said that they would release it.  Whew!  Thanks Again!!

I am just curious why UPS would need your SSN or tax id #. In the past they never asked for that information for my S3 to C1 shipments. My S7s are coming on the 24th, so far no hold up.

Same here, all my miners from Bitmain came UPS thru the KY hub and never had a person ask anything like that either?

Jeff's colo in OK matches lowest hosting costs, i'm at $75 per kw per month there. Might try him . His username on here is Sunbreak.

He was recommended to me by sidehack and has been good.

On another note, my s7 has not shipped yet.
Ordered on 9/08 via UPS. Hopefully it wont get held for more info as i'm not a fan of giving out my SSN.

I have never been asked SSN or tax id either for any miner.  On the bitmain psu they shipped it at a lower weight then it was, I had to write UPS a check for that.    But I cant see what SSN would have to do with miner shipment.

If the value of the shipment exceeds a certain amount ($2500 I think? I can't recall) there's is some customs paperwork needed. Among other things they want importer's ID, e.g. SSN or FEIN.

That's good to know.  I have 4 on order so I will cross that limit.

I think DHL is one of the outlier companies.. most use FedEx or UPS

I would agree.  I avoid using DHL like the plague.    There are a few that prefer it.  But I think it's a very small few overall.

I would contact DHL and ask them what they need.  If it's something you can do or if you need bitmain to do someting.

it is very confusing..sometimes i just wait a couple of days without looking-all time related info is contradictory (later times posted earlier and vice versa)

Had a similar incident when I received my S7 with UPS. BITMAIN didn't set up any sort of customs broker, so UPS phoned me a bunch of times until they got ahold of me. If the same thing is happening to you a phone call to DHL should sort it out, did anything come from phoning them?

Thy said they would put someone from DHL china on this and I gave them my phone.
She told me it was probably some document missing ...

I also warned Bitmain about it.

I guess i'm screwed from for a few days ... already lost a day on this...

[clgrissom3]

Im getting a little nervous about having 4 S7s on one order...I can't wait to see what kind of adventure this will be...

[clgrissom3]

I did use UPS so maybe that will help.

One of the outlier companies, have you ever been to Europe or Asia? In any case I have had the least problems with DHL, followed by FedEx, and I've had the most pain with UPS.. Shipments valued from a few hundred to a few hundred thousand dollars..

In short your SSN / EIN is needed if the value is over I think $2500, if not it could still be required if the shipment was reviewed..

On a regular basis shipments coming in get tagged for review, regular basis as in almost daily so with a roll of the dice you might win at some point, especially if the word Bitcoin is on the paperwork, they get special attention sometimes..
