Feedback from buyers who have used Blokforge and Eastshore

[ch33ks]

I have seen several posts referencing Blokforge and Eastshore and had a couple of questions about them.

On Blokforge any purchase over $500 requires wire transfer or sending crypto. I am a little hesitant since it's hard to have any recourse if something goes wrong.

On Eastshore the only option I saw was to send crypto. Again a little hesitancy.

Have any of you here paid through these methods and had any sort of issues or luck. I am curious of the general feedback.

Thanks!

Blokforge is an excellent and utterly trustworthy company. Over the years I have bought dozens of miners (Avalons), PSU's and controllers from them with zero issues and very good after-sales support.

I've bought from them both - blokforge was the US Canaan reseller to buy Avalons (when I ordered them) and Eastshore once in 2017 to buy a scrypt miner.

EastShore took two months to ship and of course their website looks super scammy so I didn't know if the order would really show. However, the L3 I ordered arrived and worked. My roommate at the time also ordered from them a bit later and had the same experience.

Blokforge is much more professional and has helpful email support. In stock items shipped within a day.

I've purchased 5 rigs from EastShore over the past 2 years. In one case they replaced a rig I bought with another model, as they had sold out of the one I ordered. The replacement was more efficient and has a slightly higher hash rate. I had to pay a bit more but it was all good.
They've always delivered. The only time they were slow was with the StrongU STU6 X11 rig. But then, all vendors were screwed up by the manufacturer's delay on that rig.
 So, yesterday I ordered two S19J Pro.

Blokforge also normally quotes their price as including the 27% USA tax and tarrif.  Eastshore does not.

FWIW, I bought about 50 Avalons (now idle) from Blokforge back in 2018- a pleasure to work with.

I have purchased from eastshore.xyz and they are legit. my only gripe was a small discrepancy between their product image and the unit description which was different.
