DHL is cheapest to me. For 11x S9 this is a noticeable difference .
I used DHL with Avalon6 pretty good service. I used Fedex with spondoolies way too much paperwork. I used fedex and UPS with bitmaintech fedex was a tiny bit cheaper but lots more paperwork and slow. so I did about 30 orders with ups and 1 with fedex. For Asian destination address, its best to use DHL - very fast and no-hassle documentation. But I need to pay them the tax amount upon sign off during delivery; for the S7s I paid about SGD$160 about 120USD$ per miner. We will see tomorrow what's the deal with the tax amount. |
If I provided you good and useful info or just a smile to your day, consider sending me merit points to further validate this Bitcointalk account ~ useful for future account recovery...

I used fedex and UPS with bitmaintech fedex was a tiny bit cheaper but lots more paperwork and slow. so I did about 30 orders with ups and 1 with fedex. Maybe it depends on how the local office handles it but with Fedex I filled out a customs form once and that was it. They would bill me then if there are fees to be paid and I can pay them at my leisure. UPS on the other hand won't give me the package until I pay, which is quite stupid. I had to get a checkbook just because of that (the driver doesn't take credit cards or cash). Jaa I agree that UPS's way of doing it is nutz. 2x I got tripped up by the fee's due delaying a delivery but on the whole UPS has been the best for me. What I do now is check the package status on the UPS site the day before delivery. So far, if there is monies to be paid they will show that on the tracking page so I can get the payment done before the driver arrives with the miners. |

Only once out of all of my orders through UPS going back to S1 did they charge me a fee (it was on an S7). I called a bajillion people at UPS until I found someone who reversed it in their system but it happened about an hour before the driver came so he still insisted on a check to leave the package with me. I did however get a refund check mailed to me from UPS about a month later.

Personally I am horrified and insulted by the level of import duty... Those taxes are insane, unjust and unfair. I am thinking to host some in China to not have to be robbed by the state!!!

Why mining is not profitable after halving?
What can be the exact reason?
Who told you that ? |

Who told you that ? have heard something like, difficulty will decrease and it will not be easy for miners to earn through mining.. Difficulty decrease would mean earnings increase (lower difficulty makes it "easier" to find blocks). "Halving" will reduce the block reward, which makes miners earn less but that's not the only factor that determines profitability. I would suggest to read up on the fundamentals, e.g. difficulty, block reward, miner efficiency, exchange rates, etc. There is no simple answer, such as "profitable" or "not profitable". There are multiple variables and you need to understand how they affect profitability. |

More OT here, just checked an my s9 has left Alaska. Still says delivery on Tues but will be Wed at the worst. Got a nice shiny new Cyberpower 3kVA dual-conversion UPS hooked for it at home just a-waitin' for it  Love those things -- 0 transfer time because it's always on-line and depending on the %of max load on them, they can keep running off the line down to -60% nominal. Weighs a freakin' ton though. Sure as hell don't want any power disruptions to be taking out 14THs... |

How much does something like that cost? 1000 USD BUT there is an ebay seller that sells refurbs cheaper. http://www.ebay.com/itm/CyberPower-Smart-App-Sinewave-UPS-PR3000LCDRTXL2U-3000VA-2400W-AC-120V-Rack-2U-/222087119042?I used this seller for rebuilt ups quite a bit. he will go down on the price 10 to 15 % if you use make an offer option |

On target for price. Got mine through PCM/TigerDirect Biz. Since they have the terminals for adding additional battery packs, I wonder how they would take to using solar? They are perfectly happy running off of only DC so... Use the solar array to feed them and when the array drops below useful power, have the dry contact relay in the UPS toggle a changeover to the AC line. Also that particular one uses an auto-switching transformer setup = 1 cycle-or more xfr time. Mine are the https://www.cyberpowersystems.com/products/ups/smart-app-online/ol3000rtxl2u that are always on line eg, converting AC to DC and then back to perfect 120VAC or whatever you program output. edit: available in 120v and 240v flavors as well. Of course I found that out AFTER getting the 120v one and using a step-up for feeding the miner PSU's... |
