Do the coupons have an expiration date (and thus needing to make a bunch of one device orders to keep them) or can I just order one at a time as I hit the required amount of Bitcoin?
Why bother with the coupon orders anyway? You can get them CHEAPER than the offer, without worry of an expiration, from other vendors. Do yourselves a favor and buy somewhere else, it is what I have been doing since this fiasco started. |

Bitcoin addresses contain a checksum, so it is very unlikely that mistyping an address will cause you to lose money.

So what then, by pissing and moaning and complaining, you hoped he would reward your behavior by giving you what you want and lower the price? I'm curious, just what price do you want to pay for these things? |

Just checked out the new coupons and even at the coupon price of .4 I don't see it being very viable to purchase another. I would at a price that had a chance of returning at least most of the investment but I don't see that happening until at least .30. Thanks for the coupon program though.

Seriously, with razor sharp margins and near zero ROI, you would think this would be a no-brainer, instead you all say I am whining or complaining. Go figure... |

Grats, continue paying that elsewhere. I've said in the past, I have no intention of dropping my prices to what group buys offer because it is not worth my time. I'm not going to order thousands of extra units of inventory at a profit margin of 3% (at 0.31 assuming shipping is extra), especially when another price drop by ASICMINER would suddenly eat all the profit I made and then some due to leftover inventory that was purchased pre-pricedrop. |

Buying here is the easier than the other places. No creating shipping labels, signing transactions etc. Maybe we are willing to pay a premium for that. Why would he bother with this if he only made a $1 on each one. If they don't sell i suspect the price will drop. |

How can others do it and you can't? Hmmm Either ASICMINER is screwing me, or others will happily sell at a $1 or less profit per unit. Then again, I noticed Canary increased his price to 0.33 and shipping is not included. You have to print and email your own shipping label for a small flat rate box ($5.15 or more). |

You state others can do it so why don't he.. WHY DO YOU CARE? Eleuthria don't have to do this at all. You don't like the store? Go shop somewhere else! You seem to be on some crusade that people should run THEIR business the way you think they should and by nattering on about it you will make them change. You want to tilt at a windmill go find a BFL thread and natter on in there. |

As has been the case all week, new orders have been getting packed every couple hours so that by the time the pickup happens, as many packages will go out as possible.
Some good news for international customers: Many countries (Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Spain, Netherlands, and others) have started rolling out a deal with USPS which should give you tracking on first class mail all the way to its destination. I don't know full details on if this includes expedited customs clearance, or if it's guaranteed to track all the way to delivery, but a lot of recent packages are starting to show status up until Delivery instead of stopping once it hits foreign customs. These new tracking numbers start with 'LZ' instead of 'LJ'. 'CJ' orders for priority are still supposed to include tracking from start to finish.

Update on USPS First Class International tracking:
Per the USPS website, the following countries are eligible for the "E-DELCON" (Electronic Delivery Confirmation) International Service:
Australia
Germany
Belgium
Great Britain
Brazil
Israel
Canada
Netherlands
Croatia
New Zealand
Denmark
Spain
France
Switzerland
This fits with what I've been seeing, since recent packages to these countries print out with a "POST EXPRESS" emblem in the upper center of the label. If you're in any of the above countries and considering an order, this should help in your decision on whether you want to pay the extra cost of Priority Mail International.

I could ask you the same thing... WHY DO YOU CARE WHAT I DO WITH MY TIME?
Your littering our pool support thread with "your time". You made your point with one or two posts, which could have been shorter, and that should have sufficed to express your opinion. That's why we care. Anybody else want to have a reasonable debate on WHY you would pay more for something that can be had for much less?
Take it somewhere else please. |
A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.
