Just checked and my order has made it to Japan which is a different route than most other times which took the miners thru Alaska. But so far so good and UPS says it will be here Monday the 19th.

Mine is the same right now, expected Monday. I also received notification that the shipping label was created for my second S7 which was ordered and paid for on 9-16-15.

Anything over $300/kW/month for the total package sounds like high-density colo with clean uninterrupted power to the cabinet. This is definitely not cost effective for mining.

I live in Texas and have a locked in 0.085 residential rate (yay, deregulation), which isn't the best in the world I admit. I researched the multiple co-lo's in the area and I could save a penny with commercial service, but the added in cabinet space and limitation on kW per rack added in an additional $100-200. Since most of the co-lo's here are geared towards oil/gas, there are very few low tier providers. The ones that do exist have no bitcoin mining policies, heh. I guess they oversubscribe the kW allotment and don't want people that use the max like most residential internet providers.

I am in Houston too, looking for next provider and right now rates are sweet, but I am not sure whether I want 6, 9 or 12 mo.
Which provider are you with?
I can get a great rate, but only 3-6 mo, then a switchover in the spring or summer-not an entirely good proposition.

[clgrissom3]

Here are a couple of data centers that specialize in hosting Bitcoin miners and their rates are way less than the $150-$300/KW/Month I keep seeing in this thread.

$60/KW/Month (CAD?), Great North Data, Canada (30 KW minimum)
$72/KW/Month, Lee Group in Chengdu, China (I ran 20 S5's here for 9 months - good company)
$80, $85, $90/KW/Month, Toomim Bros, Moses Lake, Washington, USA (they have a good reputation)

Thanks for the update.  Has your send details status changed or does it still say "Unshipped" on Bitmain site?
I'm hoping mine have shipped, but with no send details and having chosen Fedex as courier - I'm in the dark.

[clgrissom3]

I hope this does not slow things down too much! 



EDIT: I did get a phone call from UPS for a tax ID or SSN because the value was over $2500.  I have 4 in this order.

No phone call here but only have one miner coming my way.

My Bitmain account still shows "unshipped" also

Well, our UPS deliveries for today have come and gone - no miner despite the email I got on Monday saying it has shipped  
Over 1 week in-transit??? Er, the other couple dozen miners I've gotten from the S1's on up which were shipped via UPS arrived in 3 days.

What did they do - send it on a cargo ship???

Has anyone heard anything more about the hashrate equivalent compensation? Bitmain support is being.... Bitmain support! Just wondering if anyone has been offered this yet?

I doubt it very seriously.  BITMAIN, has limited resources (employees).  They already have their hands full with completing testing hash boards and shipping batches 1, 2 and 3.  I'm sure they will get around to compensation once they've caught up.  Patience, my fellow miner.  The compensation email to those requiring compensation will arrive in due time. It may take a couple of weeks but it will be taken care of in due time.

It only took a couple of hours to get clearance...they are on the way again!  It is funny how BM is confused with the whole shipping notification.  First, the order said shipped and nothing.  Then it ships and the order status switches to Unshipped.  The packages are slowly circumnavigating the globe and the status stays Unshipped.

My order/confirm date was 9/6/2015...and I realize this looks like it took more than 24 hours to change from awaiting clearing and departure but it literally took about 2.5 hours to change.  It must be switching time zones in the system.

That tends to happen from a company in a country with no real oversight, no standards and no scruples.

I wonder if both our shipments left Japan on the same transport. They have the same Departure Scan time...

Thank you VERY MUCH for this information.  I am still getting all of my S7s delivered and will be needing a data center that specializes in Bitcoin.  This will really help!

i don't know about this case, but sometimes people here refer to "free power" when they are in effect riding either on their mom's/dad's/grandpa power or are in a dorm, but dorm days were over after S3-nobody can tolerate S5 or S7 in the same dorm room.
I also suspect that some also stuck their miners in server rooms of their employer(s), but it is bound to have repercussions at least in some cases, I think.

Houston have some great 3 mo rates available right now, less so 6mo and OK 12 mo. Not a zero, though

Sorry for the auto promotion, but I think I can add myself to the list since I have a competitive price.
58 USD / kW / Month. Cryptominer Canada, Montreal Canada. (No minimum, 15$ setup fee / miner). http://cryptominer.ca The website is very minimalistic, but I'll improve in the next month.

There is also allinvain who does Bitcoin hosting in Canada through Cryptoboreas. I think they have about the same rate as me.
