Antminer-buy.com is a scam
Anything linked to Tizen Hardware is associated with this website also.

They come out looking good, they call you, confirm order. Few days later you get a tracking number that works on a legit tracking website.
Then a week goes by with it sitting in a China and you get this reply when you inquire

Based on my experience, if anything is held by the customs department then it's not going to be the sending company telling you to pay for it. The shipping company will contact you by phone and invoice you instead.

If they ask you for any clearance fees they're probably just trying to screw you out of some more money before they ignore all your messages.

All those sites selling miners recently have been scamming a lot of people. None of them have turned out to be legit so far, so it's probably best to avoid these sellers altogether and buy from an official source instead.

I don't know why still people do tend to risk out on buying into those unknown or non popular merchants when it comes to buying miners yet there are main sources which we can able to purchase without any doubts.We wont be sure if they are telling the truth or just making ways or bluffs for you to give or send out more amounts to them.This is why if you don't like to face such hassle into these kind of matter then better to avoid it on all cost.

Exactly. Even ebay would probably be a better choice than buying from these sites. At least you are protected by the eBay escrow system.

Even if you are paying by credit card on these sites it is probable that they will steal your credit card information and probably use it for malicious purposes. There is really no good outcome that could come out of someone buying from one of these resellers.

Either buy from the official source or use escrow for any sort of resell activity. Never send first.
