I was taking a look at https://asic-antminer.com and was wondering if anyone has had any dealings with them.

I'm looking to buy an S9.

Thanks in advance.

Never heard this site before. I suggest to don't use any third party or unknown distributor of antminer s9 if you really wanted to buy antminer better to buy in main page which is bitmain.com no alternative that i know safe.
And i think you can't buy antminer s9 right now almost soldout.. only available miner is antminer L3+ and PSU

I have ordered from there on December 5th.
I paid for UPS delivery (4-8 days) 100+USD.
The order was shown as completed since December 8th.

They just sent a mail today informing me, that they will ship my stuff between the 1st and 15th of January 2018. I will recieve a 200USD discount on my next purchase there.

They advertise on their website with delivery and shipping from the 15th till the 30th of December though.

So I would not recommend them. I have paid them in bitcoin and they haven't shipped my order. Which means they are in the ones gaining the value bitcoin will be gaining until they ship the stuff I ordered (if they ship it at all).

I can't trust that site since they are only using hosting cheap or maybe its trial from hostinger and its new created site..
well since you ordered already better to wait if its scam or not. you'll be lucky if you receive the unit..

Wish you good luck. That site is 80% scam I would never trust it since there's no even a positive review of that site

Its not that they just host there site on a pretty cheap hosting, and its not trial since they created the site on october, trial version is good for a month only. The only thing is they are not transparent to their users that they use whoisguard to protect their personal details.

Take a look in service duscission. Look at how many times such a question have been asked for different sites and you should get your answer in most of the threads that people have posted a reply to. There is just way too many of these fake sites out there man.

Just take a look at their site, does it look particularly legit for you? They have a chinese address as well, so how are you going to file a lawsuit against them in case something goes wrong with your purchase?.

Purchase from a reputable reseller or official seller, do not purchase from some site that you found on the internet randomly by seraching. It's good that you're asking though, otherwise you could be getting scammed in the thousands.

I am in the same situation. I have ordered 2 Antminer S9 with fast shipping ($107.00 via DHL (3- 7 days)) on Decmber 13th. But they sent me an email, they will ship my stuff between the 1st and 15th of January 2018. I will recieve a 200USD discount on my next purchase there.
Has someone received the ordered products from this website? Please write, If you got it. Because the website disappeared, and I am a little bit nervous. What can we do?

As the above replies says, The site is most likely (99.9%) a scam and this pattern where they will gradually disappear is a very common thing. I'm guessing you have paid with bitcoin right? If so, you can't really do anything as transactions there are pseudonymous and irreversible. Next time don't fall with this kind of obvious scam, it'll be better to ask "before" and not "after".

Just buy from the mainsite: bitmain.com

Just buy from the mainsite: bitmain.com

Every site comes as proxy for the bitmain site, Most probably mining going to buy in these kind of website due to delay they made for delivering the international delivery.
You have to buy the bitcoin ASIC miners in bitmain for security concerns or you have to go with the eBay resellers who have been selling for decent cost. Everyplace you are buying the hardwares mostly they do have COD option.
