That's actually a reasonable price. I'd like to grab a few for sure if shipping is reasonable. I may also be able to find you a client that can grab 50 or so and host them with us. Any way you can calculate shipping costs to Labrador, Canada, postal code: A0P1C0

Or alternatively PM me the address and info they'd be shipping from so I can try to calculate the shipping costs myself. I presume DHL would be an available option in your area, no?


Alan,

If you end up buying/shipping some of these to your facility I would like to grab a few as well to host with you

Sounds good. Let me coordinate with the seller and figure out if shipping costs are worth it. By a few you mean like 2?

I will need to do some research - had no prior experience with international shipping aside from occasional legal documents. But think DHL is available tho quite pricy.

Well, we'd naturally go for the cheapest shipping option. I typically send Bitmain gear via DHL or UPS. But Bitmain gets massive bulk shipping discounts which you/we likely can never get.

661.78 US

Looks like a good price

EDIT: He said A6 on the other thread... A7 or A6 ?

A7. Corrected.

Eric - I am talking to Alan and may take 20 units pending my group's final decision. Thanks

Guys - any takers, we can share the DHL and customs costs. Thanks

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...

Alan,
I'd be interested in 2 hosted at Cryptoboreas. They could replace two of my S7s.

Guys, don't forget that you also need controllers for these! Also the USB to serial adapters are necessary and we don't know how many the seller has so it has to be priced in and paid for as well. I think when he means per unit he means _just_ for the A7 box itself without any of the accessories.

Well guys, I have some bad news. I did a quick shipping calculation. I used Chengdo which is the nearest major city cause the actual city the gear is located in is not recognized by any of the shipping calculators (Chengdo is like several kilometers from the location so it's not far at all). Shipping cost directly to us with DHL is CNY1,363.84 which is $196 USD which is a deal killer. UPS is even more expensive. This is PER A7!

Just out of curiosity I recalculated the shipping costs but for 10 units and the shipping cost per unit does go down -  to $132 USD to be precise. I suppose the price will go down even further if more units are shipped at the same time, although with DHL apparently the most their online tool will let me calculate is 10.

Well, congrats. I think I am personally out of any potential deal due to the prohibitive shipping costs. Best of luck to you and your client!

Is your client/seller only accepting btc as payment for these?

No - they are a company and can accept USD paid to their company bank account.

Out of curiosity, have all these units sold?

I closed the group buy because Canaan refused to offer any discounts at the group buy's level. For now you are better off buying individual units. If you buy a large number of miners (1000+) then I think they are more willing to offer some volume discounts. Contact them directly for further details.

What about a 60-pack?

They just added two bulk buy options.

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.
