The only thing I’m getting from this last batch is that people are queuing with instructions to please try it later.  I hope both the site and BTC rebound after that huge drop earlier.  You’d think people would be more hesitant to buy miners with expected difficulty raises and the next generation hardware around the corner, but even with this recent drop in BTC/USD value it’s difficult to get another s9!

yeah, reached the submit page many times and it never went through!!

Same....kept trying for like 10min but always same message and now they are all sold out. But probably for the better? Because;

1) Price in December was $1425 per unit....Now 1 month later $2350?? +$900....How/why did that happen?

2) New miners are probably coming out soon given this model has been in production for a long time already....

The 1/3rd higher price also means longer to ROI. Thanks Bitmain website, you saved me from myself 

[symphony X]

unfortunately so. well, back to waiting for newer ASICs then.

Same here...placed an order for 4 - got through the checkout and got a blank page saying "username XXXXX@XXXXX.COM does not exist".

Checked my order status page and boom, there it was.

Can someone explain me how USD wire transfers works? can i pay that with visa card or what?

geeee... you just go to your bank (or online) and transfer the money from your account to the given account

It is easy, you can try to buy the PSU right now with wire transfer, just to test how it goes.
Go to the website and do the regular order, then on payment option choose "Bank Transfer"
Then on order completion, the system will give you bank details and you have 7 days to wire them from your bank.

Ty for that one more question.

After i complete order and and chose payment medot via wire transfer (i mean i have 7 days to make payment), at that point is my order guaranteed or i can lose it if someone make quicker payment than me.

Usually, at least from experience when trading with other online shops - if you shop with wire transfer, you are supposed to have online banking i.e. do it online (not go to the bank). So it means that you can wire the money instantly (even faster than doing the bitcoin payment - yeeeei) and send bitmain a screenshot that your bank wire is done. I guess this would guarantee your spot for sure.

Some online backing transfers does not have a field to type the order ID and to pay for the fees.

Lol last night the funniest glitch happened while ordering. Upon adding 10 s9s to my cart, when I clicked checkout, magically 5 batch 5 s5s were added as well for $400. Yes you read that correct. Talk about going back in time haha.

Does emailing bitmain result in any faster shipping? I'm in tbe January 10-21 batch and still have not received any shipping information. I've seen a few people here with the same batch who have thier items shipped.

I assume the answer is no, but thought I would ask anyway.

I received the "people are queuing" message as well.  I made it all the way to the purchase agreement twice, and got kicked out doing the captcha at the end.   One of the most frustrating purchases that I never got to make...   If anyone needs to have a few they over ordered taken off their hands...  We can work something out.

I have 2 waiting for wire transfer, being shipped to me in New Jersey that I don't need. If you can come up with a plan to take it over let me know

[pnbamania]

What shipping method do you guys use? And Why? I use DHL twice so far and it seems fine to Canada and it's cheapest? Any reason for this? I have used UPS in past two and they seem to be same time for delivery.

[VRobb]

I'd second DHL to the Great White North!  BiteMe sent a replacement RMA'd unit via FedEx and it sat in an office for a month...

[gogostar]

does anyone know how many s9 they sold today?
i missed it again...
