Usually that is true for me too, but this time UPS delivered within two days of the miner shipping (which happened more like 7-8 days from payment), so I'm pretty happy this time around. But yes, i should probably use Fedex if I order from Bitmain in the future.
what mining pool you are using? and how is the earning? sia.luxor.tech It's the best one I could find, and I've been pretty happy with them so far, though I still have around 800s from dual mining sitting in Nanopool, so I'll have to point it there at some point for a bit to hit the payout. My current earnings are around 1,800-2,000s/d depending on luck, but I expect that to drop. |

I don't suggest getting the A3's... their income level will be very low by March i think. only first batch release are going to be somewhat profitable still. Now diff increase super fast and that should be lost for you. just my opinion

Dear user,
Our web shop system is crrently facing unexpected technical issues with order payments.
Because of this we have decided to cancel the Antminer A3 batch releases that were scheduled for 4PM, 9PM and 10PM today (29 January, GMT+8).
If you manged to succesfully place an order during the 2PM batch release today, you need not worry because your order will be shipped as scheduled.
For those who were unable to order during the 2PM batch release or those who planned to order during the other releases today, please stay tuned for the same batch's release at another time this week. We will announce this by email and on our social media accounts as soon as we have resolved our web shop issues and have finalized a time for it.
We apologize for any inconvenience that this sudden cancellation may have caused.
We will continue to investigate this issue to prevent it from occuring again.
Regards,
The Bitmain team

What kind of credibility will have Bitmain ? ... sorry for my bad english ! That's why they sell it for 980 USD Yup. It would seem they learned from the D3 debacle. Since this doesn't ship until March I actually think this was a good call on their part. The markup on the initial batch is recovered in the first week of mining, and the lower price makes a later batch more appealing. I'm content with just the one A3 (I'm more of a gpu miner anyway), but if I hadn't ordered in the first batch I would definitely consider the second at this price point... |

Wouldn't it make sense for people who ordered in the first batch to jump on another one for $980 to average the cost of the miners?

Maybe. It really depends on what happens with the coin and the difficulty, because if it goes the route of the D3 it will be a lot faster to recoup the $2300 or whatever at the current rate than it will be to recoup $980 at, say, $3/day profit. |
