Ordering from Bitmain's website- how fast does it get delivered?

[bens.btc]

Hi, I ordered an S1 from Bitmain's website this weekend. They said that my miner would ship today (The 26th, Beijing time.) How fast do they get their products to people? I am in Los Angeles. Are they good about tracking numbers? Will they email a tracking # once it ships? Can someone who has done business with them before give me an estimate, or experiences?

I need to know how quickly I should be picking up a new PSU etc for it.

Thank You!

Should take you maybe 3 days, IF it shipped today.

"I need to know how quickly I should be picking up a new PSU etc for it."

You'd better go get your PSU now, hopefully there's a Fry's near you.

They "pride" themselves on fast shipping and I can't fault them. If they shipped today, you'd get it by Saturday or following Monday at the latest.

As far as the "tracking info" is concerned, I have heard that you tend to receive your Antminer S1 BEFORE tracking info is sent to you.

So, get all your ducks in a row so when it comes you are ready to hash.

Agreed, usually 3-5 days on the west coast.

Most likely you'll receive your shipment of the Ant before the tracking number, at least that was my experience with Sushi's Group Buy.

As others have noted, it's probably better to have a PSU already picked out / ordered prior to ordering from BitMain. Your miner will more than likely arrive sooner than your PSU if you ordered today.

This happened to me as well (outside of a group buy). A couple days after I ordered I got a random UPS notification that they would be delivering that afternoon! Though I'm on the East coast, I'm still impressed with BitMain's overall speed.

A cheap Psu to cut the Wires, or be careful to buy One with a (help me some englishspeaking)  One Cable has 2x 6+1 PCI Connectors they need to be long enough, not the whole Cable but the "spreading" Part. there is a huge Distance between the "both" PCI Connections.

And Bitmain is shipping very fast.

OP, have you received your Antminer? If so, when did you receive it? How's it going?

I had already 2 orders...ordered/paid Wednesday...shipped Friday...delivered Monday...no problems...

California...Florida...New York...probably doesn't mater...they are routed through Alaska...to Kentucky or Tennessee...

My tracking numbers have been e-mailed to me the day of the shipment...these guys are really good...very unusual for China sellers...

My first miner was from US distributor (Arizona) ...took a week for 2-days Air...no more orders from them, sorry...

Just my 2 cents...

I just bought one tonight but the order expired before the bitcoin went through.  I guess I wait for answer to my email...... this could be a long wait...

Yes...you got a time limit to pay...so I only place an order when I am ready to pay...the moment i see the order page with BTC address... i just copy-pasted it and hit "sent"...never had problems with this...and I bought already several this way from BitMain...everything smooth...showing "PAID" and "Valid"...

Last one was yesterday...March 12 ...still "Unshipped"...

Edit: Just got e-mail...shipped today March 14...ETA - to be delivered Monday March 17...Kudos to BitMain...
