Baikal Giant X10

[NoxX]

I got this in my email from Baikal...

"HI,


friend, sorry for delay, We have received your payment, but the actual amount we received is 9154.09 usd
Our offer amount is 9504 usd,Can you check your banking system?

i think maybe your Canadian dollar was converted into Singapore currency and then converted into dollars, which cost extra.

And I just received notice of the company, the first batch has already paid a deposit but not in the first ship list , we have a small number miners of the end of November for you(Just for the clients who already paid the deposit), but the amount is 1399usd.

Could you tell me what you think?


Best regards
Baikal"

1st - Their bank got the amount wrong, using CAD and converting into SGD, making the amount that I've sent which was $9504USD into $9154.09USD.
2nd - I was told that I will be in the 2nd batch but now that 1st batch is delayed to end of November, they are offering $1399USD/unit to be on 1st batch.

WOW.... what kind of company are these people running?

The bank fees are a pain, I had that too with an order from China. Most annoying thing is, you can't anticipate them. There are intermediary banks involved that take some cut, and no-one can tell you how much until the money arrives at the final destination.

Baikal's behaviour on the other hand is just shitty and unprofessional...

Indeed. I have dealt with many suppliers in China before using bank wires and never had any problems. There is always a little discrepancy in the monetary exchange rates, fees, etc and the supplier usually assumes that but the difference is huge here, $349.91USD. I've checked with my bank and sent an email to United Overseas Bank (Baikal's bank) asking how did they come up with the remittance amount of $12413.79SGD ($9154.09USD) which was deposited into Baikal's account when it is clearly written $9504USD/$11973.14CAD the amount transfered which when converted into SGD should be around $129411.77SGD.

So now it's a waiting game...

Recevied this now.
what should I do?
does anyone received the same notification?

Recieved it and paid it.
Lets see when they ship the miners.

[Allats]

I received that as well but couldn’t pay on time. I asked for a recalculation but 6 hours later haven’t received it yet.

[jb7032]

Same for me but they replied right away and said the rate hasn't changed and to just send the original amount.

[PsKminer]

if they're asking for the payment it's because they will send it in october, am I right?.

[Steven3iii]

No. I think this is middle of November stuff that everyone is talking about. This is about one month from now.

Crypto won't change much in a month...

[jb7032]

If crypto changes in the next month it will be for all values to go up and all difficulties to go down   Also free electric is coming for everyone. On a serious note, it is strange that they delay the shipment 1 month and then ask for shipping payment a day later.

You are right thats strange.

I paid immediately but havent got a confirmation yet.
Maybe they ship already end october? Who knows

[jb7032]

Yeah I haven't received confirmation of payment yet either. In order to quote shipping they should atleast have an idea of weight, so thats a plus.

[mano237]

On which pool or which coin you will mine? Any suggestions?

Or just nicehash?

Nicehash got the best roi

[GunsN]

He was making a joke.

[igotek]

So, its look like the ones who booked their Miners in the first batch will be not only enjoy the timing/hashing advantage but also gonna get their Miners for atleast 450 USD less almost and discount of 33%.
They will be 1 month ahead of second batch.
