ASICMiner Tube Group Buy #2

[firejuan]

of the 10 tracking numbers I have from fc and co., 1 is arriving Friday.  the other 9 are arriving Monday per DHL (just got off the phone with DHL).  I don't know how big of a truck they're gonna need on Monday, but that's another story.  The 9 tracking numbers are likely to arrive to Cincinnati Saturday and will rest there over the weekend which sucks.

It's not very clear what's in Friday's shipment (per friedcat, DHL center appears to have mixed things up).  It's either some amount of parts to make complete tubes or not.
If there are enough components to ship out any Tubes to you on Friday, they will got out.
At any rate, these will all head out to you ASAP.

We apologize for this groupbuy's delivery time.

It's caused by a combination of three factors:

1. A one-day delay from the miscommunication from the sales department
to the logistics company.
2. The time of shipping from the logistics company to Hong Kong DHL.
3. The unexpected overfilling of DHL between 19th to 21st. This also
affected two other customers by 1-2 days.

To prevent it from happening again for this groupbuy as well as
overseas customers, we will fix the shipping process and choose more
direct shipping methods on demand.

The delay stinks, but thanks Canary and Friedcat for the updates.  At least things are moving now.

Earlier is always better than later but I am still good with it. Thanks for the updates.

Hopefully at least 20 full kits are arriving today as my transaction puts me at unit 19 and 20!  Would be nice if they shipped (to me) today too.

I am sure if enough full kits arrive today Canary will ship them in the order they where paid for, for this is his usual method.

Shipment received... Just finished going through it all twice...

I have the following items on hand:

24 - BE Ethernet controllers
40 - PCBs (40/4= for 10 Tubes)
12 - Tube Cage kits. 12 boxes, in each box the contents are: 4 heatsinks, 1 fan, 2 brackets and fan grill <- there are no screws or washer etc... in this kit.

Of the 12 Tube Cage Kits, 3 are missing one of the brackets.  the one that attaches with the fan.  I am expecting a few extra parts for all, so hopefully those missing 3 aren't an issue.

There is no hardware to assemble them with (screws, washers) and there are no cables to daisy chain PCBs with and connect to controller.
There are no thermal pads in this shipment.

The good news:

It looks like 1 Tube will require 2 boxes:

- 1 Medium that will hold PCBs, wires, thermal pads and remaining assembly hardware
- 1 Large box to ship the Tube Cage Kit.

So you will need to send me 2 labels for a tube.  A large and a medium.  If you'd be so kind and generate both, then use the print labels without receipt option:

also, please sign both tracking numbers with any of your sending addresses that are listed in your transaction

So you're still waiting on the missing screws / wires / thermal pads before shipping out?

some what confused . but here goes I am on a different pc no access to philipma1957

my question is  two regional b boxes work to ship it?

and it seems like we will all need to wait until monday for shipping correct?

if that is the case will he (fried cat)   send us a little something   as loss to us all is about .05 btc

[WBF1]

Is there any efficiency in terms of shipping to be had orders of w or more tubes? Or are we talking 4 boxes per 2 tubes?

Bs don't work.
you can reach out to friedcat on the compensation question.  I will mention to him you asked, that I can do.

yes, 2 Tubes can fit in 3 large boxes.  anything larger than 2 Tubes, I'd have to stage it first, and report.
most orders here are for 1 Tube.

btw, I still have more Tubes coming Monday than has been ordered on this group.

Ok so for 2 tubes, need 3 large flat rate box shipping labels?

How much does the shipment weigh? I'm curious if the 2 box strategy is the cheapest.
