YIFU IS AUCTIONNING?

[rograz]

I called them and they demanded some explanation that I bought it private, they needed to know whats inside and thats it. I called it special network hardware with SHA-256

A friend told me his exchange with DHL went about the same, they called him this morning and wanted to know what they contained and if he bought them for private use. The declared value on his 10 avalons was about 3500 usd (he paid 2,26 per unit) for anyone wondering what they might end up having to pay for VAT etc.

Ok,

So i opened the box today and they are missing the power cables, and the little wifi aerial thingy that sticks out the back end of the rig. Need to pop out now and see if i can pick a cable up quickly to make sure the unit itself actually works.

I only bought two and the other i shipped out ASAP to a friend so can't confirm if this is the case for everyone or not. It is possible that the cables and wifi aerials were in the second box? You don't actually need the wifi aerial, it should still be able to pick up signal...there is just a little gold screw where you could fix one onto the rig.

Other people confirm if these things are missing as you get yours in too please... WIFI AERIAL + POWER CABLE


Dimensions of box
20 in x 14 in x 17 in

Actual weight of 1 box
11.2 kg

Dimensions of rig
16 x 9 x 6

Packaging was good with double ply boxes used. and lots of padding. The units themselves are black and have an industrial look and feel. A lot heavier than the Butterfly lab 60 gh units. I hear these Avalon ones can be overclocked to 85 gh/s so i am going to do that tonight.
No instructions or manual included in the box....

It's not normal.

Also your question indicates that it might be the time to ask a friend to help you.

Starting with batch #2, the WiFi antenna and the power cable are customer supplied items.

[zerocode20]

Got mine this morning. It had an invoice attached with a customs declaration of $500/unit. They came very nicely packaged and did not include power cable or antenna. The small case design and bolt holes allows for secure stacking if you haven't already realized that.

[zulover]

Just got mine from the depot , now power leads and antennas! !!

[rage1337]

stable at 60GH/s

[jermwerty]

11 units stuck in customs on US side due to incomplete paperwork.  "Custom hardware" was enough for single Batch 2/3 shipments, but I guess not good enough for multiple Minis.

Thanks Avalon!

[rograz]

It had an invoice attached with a customs declaration of $500/unit.

So they declared them higher than what they were sold for? Don't they realize this will result in extra costs for their customers who has to pay VAT on these units.

[Threader]

Like Yifu gives a rats ass about customer satisfaction

[greaterninja]

stable at 60GH/s

[ssinc]
