I think the OP was quite clear about the costs involved. You should follow the instructions to have a trouble-free transaction. Price is the same as on the first batch: .15 per unit which includes domestic shipping. International buyers will have additional shipping fees and they will be worked on per order. International orders may not be processed as fast as domestic orders due to additional handling time to get shipping quotes.

I have at least 8-9 PMs with him back and forth on this coupon thing. The only responses I got from him was "Read the OP" or "Let me know if you don't want the coupons". Charging 50% of a 0.1 coupon for shipping simply does not make sense, especially since this a gratuity for previous purchases. This is close to $35 for 5 sticks, when I was able to print the label for around $5. This probably discourages folks to re-deem the coupons so the sticks can be sold later for a profit.

okay I just got my last 6 coupons fulfilled they came today.
I got my 3 old style blades yesterday. I have decided to sell them and stay with sticks. I prefer the sticks and even though the older blades can push 12gh or 36 sticks I like the sticks better. Canary has been a really good seller to me I think I have purchased 200 sticks and 3 blades I have to go back and add it all up.
So enjoy the Labor day weekend and thanks for good business practices. Phil

I have similar misgivings about this practice. On a small scale (1-2 sticks) this may be reasonable, but for anything more than that, especially if we are supplying our own shipping label, it is simply unacceptable. Charging an extra .05 BTC would be enough to cover shipping for the first 14 sticks, although I realize that there are more costs involved than just shipping, but assuming he's processes thousands of these (it was 1300 from the first wave of coupons) he's made more than some people do in a year off of this promotion alone. Granted Canary is putting a large amount of time and effort into distribution of these miners, I don't see why he should be making such an inordinate amount of money off of this. To those saying he was clear on the terms of the promotion, he was most certainly not. If you don't see what I mean, just look at the title of this thread. Additionally, with his past group buys he has offered the option of letting us supply a shipping label and (from what I can tell) reducing the markup per stick from .05 BTC to .01 BTC; why he is not offering this option for what was supposed to be a promotion is simply beyond me.

I send payment for 5 units allowed by my coupon 0.1 coupon (.5 btc) and send a shipping label as instructed in the OP. I get a PM saying I need to send 0.15 btc per coupon and that the cost is 0.15. Why is the cost of a 0.10 coupon 0.15 when shipping has already been paid? This is a total scam!
Then do us a favor will you. Don't send your coupon in. Tell canary you won't use the coupon because its a scam and that you refuse to post here again until you get a 0.01 coupon. This would be really helpful to all of us.

All you guys really have been wronged. Perhaps even abused. Why don't you buy direct from Friedcat. He probably won't bleed you dry on coupon offers.

Do you work for free? The miners do not package or drive themselves to the PO! Do you work for him? Who charges 50% markup? This canary just got you suckered in if you use them for mining. These coupons are a joke to me, I laugh I read about it every time. I even saw other guys here selling for .17 or .18 BTC. The guys supporting him are either fools or resellers who work with him for profit.

Friedcat wont add anymore US reseller ATM... Trust me I tried... Between Canary and SSB Ive bought over $22,000 worth of BE's in August alone. It's very simple.. If you are not happy with canary don't buy from him!! That just means he has more stock when I go to reload

Wow some people are really amazing . Yes, Canary makes money on this venture, are you really surprised? The guy has to spend hours on the forums organizing these group buys, spending his time off going to the post office, FedEx, DHL or whatever. He has to repack all the items and ship them off. Then he comes back and has to spend time telling people which orders were sent out, rinse repeat. He is a RESELLER not a monk that took a vow of poverty and servitude. If you don’t like his sales go use someone else. Or even better spend a few hours on the forums organizing a group buy. When you get enough for a minimum order, contact Friedcat , spend some of your time off at the post office, FedEx, DHL or whatever. Come home to log into the forums to find some tools bitching about every little detail. Do all that for gratis, and I’ll still shop from Canary because he knows what he is doing, he delivers and he has been doing the for long enough to gain a good reputation. When I wrote this 0.05 BTC is only $7.28 to cover shipping, handling and the risk of the price of BTC falling after you sent yours in. Do I wish it was free? Sure! And I wish Pizza Hut would deliver 2 hot blonds a large pizza for free. THEY DON’T! You gotta pay extra AND tip the driver.

I don't think there is an expiration date on them. After one week they go to the next person in line. So you do loose the ability to use them after that time. P.S. if I don't hear from you in a week, your coupons are forfeited and will be made available for group #5 buyers and so on.
