Hello, Just want to know what everyone else is experiencing when trying to get refunds from this company now. Thanks in advance for your input  |

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the
subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The
subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

You cant get refunds because BFL is a scam.

There wasn't an issue with BFL refunds previously.
What gives you reason to believe there's an issue now?

I just tried to get a refund and they refused. They should be tagged as a scammer as previously posted, especially now that they are refusing refunds (confirmed). They just refused mine in an email. Hi XXXXXX,
Thank you for contacting Butterfly Labs. According to the terms you agreed to on checkout, all sales are final. Now that shipping of orders has begun, refunds will not be processed. Your order will be shipped per your position in the order queue. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

I guess whether they have grounds to stick with their terms depends when you ordered your rig.
If you ordered it months and months ago I guess you might have a claim but if you ordered it in the last month or so you might well be out of luck.

I've bought/sold almost a dozen FPGA Singles since BFL started selling them. Only one had a fault. I called up and was walked through the "did you check this?" process with tech support. They had me ship back the faulty unit and had a replacement out within a week. I have a trade-in for three of my remaining singles, first one just arrived a few days ago. It's purring along at 58-59Ghz as I type. Would I have been happier with this unit six months ago? Absolutely. Are they a scam? Absolutely not. If you have other proofs, I'd be glad to hear them. |

I asked incredibly politely, I have no reason to be malignant. I don't have anything against BFL other than that compared to emerging companies, they conduct themselves pretty poorly. I already gave the majority of my money to KnC and simply wanted to take what I had given to BFL a while back (simply because I don't agree with how they handle their business) and wanted to give it to the competition. If I get stuck keeping my order, oh well. |

At some point in time I believe BFL changed their policy to "All sales final".....
I also believe there was a pop up on their "accounts" page... when they changed it... said "hey some of these things changed. Do you want a refund?"

Unfortunately, yes, if you are referring to a paypal dispute. |

Then you lose your Paypal account and any future opportunity to use it again (some might say that's a good thing). |

PayPal may be more likely to flag BFL as a problem account than screw with members with plenty of history with the company. For example, I've had my PayPal account for ~15 years now - I doubt I'll get a problem if I dispute a single charge. |

Don't think you will be getting any money back.
