Still not arrived after 12 days - is this normal? It's been in UK customs for 6 days now.

Did you try calling up the custom?

When I phoned them they told me to be patient and they had a backlog to deal with. I have it now anyway. Big lesson learned with buying hardware.

The final insult from BFL fu*kers

Nothing to do with BFL.  It's just the way it works when you import anything from outside the EU.

[EDIT] do you think UK customs will accept bitcoin  

I think you know the answer to that one

Funny thing is, if Royal Mail owe you any money, they just pay you in 1st class stamps, which they print up!

At least you're getting something.  My 7GH Jalapeno was ordered in late June.  They're shipping early April orders.  Expensive paperweight by the time it arrives (though if BTC keeps going up in price it might still be worth running if/when it arrives).

Have you paid the import tax?  It'll sit forever until you do.

Huh? I thought BFL paid the import tax. I've not heard of anyone in the UK having to paying import tax on BFL items.

everyone i know has paid vat on there bfl miners

Assuming you paid about £150 for the 7G jally - you may ROI if bitcoin prices stay like this...

1 week better than UK! 1 week in BTC world is a lot - UK imports are crap

Next big thing - stamps with a bitcoin picture

Sad 

Still investing - just not in BFL

[Undefeatable]

Oh, the custom should pay you for the delay, 2 weeks for this machine is like 30% of the machine value already...
