I am trying to buy some SP35 miners from minersource.net.
I've read some comments about this website on reddit, all the comments are a 1 year old, and they are mostly negative.
Anyone have any experience with this website, and what about the delivery time and supplies.
Are they legit?

Yes long ago they were. BUT they have lost a lot of credit during black arrow miners sales. Lost most of the community support. I would suggest ordering straight from SP on that miner.

I don't believe that is true. I believe the owner of minersource.net received a scammer tag on these forums before he ever got a new forum username and started minersource.net.

I can't order it directly from the official website, because I live in Dubai, and we are not allowed to receive products shipped from that country. Because of political turbulence.
Any other website I can buy the SP35 that is legit and tried by community members here?
Thanks.

I've done quite a bit of business with Minersource (both buying and selling) and haven't had much trouble. Purchases from the website I've had no trouble - the only issues I've run into were Blackarrow stuff and Technobit's minion board disaster, neither of which problems originate with Minersource. Bobsag might be a bit flakey (I don't know if he ever sleeps, that guy seems to always be running around somewhere and can lose track of things) but his guys are pretty good at taking care of business, at least within my experience.

I have never really had any problem with them, and they have always had a professional attitude towards me, but events recently have led me to stop doing business with them. I have no seen Bobsag anywhere for a very long time, and have even heard things about him not being associated there anymore. They have broken many consumer laws in the United States in regards to the BA scam, but that could be more situational than anything.
Why not order directly from Spondoolies? They have a great reputation and are selling in stock miners. I can't imagine Minersource is any cheaper, so why not go straight for the supplier?

Ahh missed that, I see. You might have better luck finding a reputable forum member to receive then repackage the miner and send it to you. If there is one thing I remember about Minersource was their markups are quite large, so it would probably be cheaper to pay 2x shipping and a tip to a forum member.

I could probably do that for you, be shipped to the US. I've forwarded packages for folks before. I can also host it if needed.

It just seemed they had a positive following for a small time. I personally don't care for them because they used a picture I posted on here to sell a miner. (Specifically a silverfish 28 picture) And with black arrow they truly messed up. I would never order from them.

They don't deserve your business and stay for away when it comes to hosting. BOBSAG and minersource built their DC on the backs of ripping customers off during all the DZ share craziness.

I don't have an opinion on them, but I would be careful if your country restricts the import of goods produced in restricted country, doesn't matter where you import them from, they were still produced there.

I placed one order with them and had no problem, so I decided to place a second larger order and when it did not ship when promised, I asked for a refund and at first was told they could not process the refund due to their credit card processor reviewing all transactions. They offered to send me a company check but that sounded very fishy to me so I refused and called my credit card company and disputed the charge. I emailed Minersource, informing them I had disputed the charge and all of a sudden they processed the refund.
Very shady, I won't do business with them again. I was lucky and wont push my luck.

I remember yours it took me five failed attempts and a 30 minute phone call to Shopify to get your refund processed. I even provided you with the failed authorization numbers in your tickets. You also didn't create a dispute with your credit card company, your order never showed a dispute pending.

Haven't ordered from them recently. Last time was when the S1's were out. At that time they were very responsive and communicated well with any concerns. They can't take the hit for BlackArrows f up, being a small new company I'm sure they had to use their own funds to please customers when BA didn't ship. That said they are invested in these forums actively and that's good enough for me. Place a small order and see for yourself. @ Thomas_s - do wish your website was kept up to date, notice old hardware lingering around with marked up prices from time to time.

Do you seriously think for one second that Matt Carson is goin' put down his water bong long enough to address issues on his website? Granted, Matt will take time out to argue with anyone that it's not considered borgarting when he's the only person on the bong.

There was a time I would send them 3000 usd worth of btc for gear. No worries got the gear and did well with it.
After Black Arrow hurt them quite a bit
I can't send 3000 usd in btc to them anymore. If they have a smaller item I still buy from them, but only once in a while..
Black Arrow hurt a lot of us miners. But I would say it hurt minersource's rep more then anyone else.
Thomas_s has always been good to me he bailed me out with a dead s-1 that bitmaintech was being very stupid about the RMA.

minersource is a crap shoot. How much do you like gambling? If you're lucky, you get your order fine. If anything goes wrong, minersource won't make things right. There are countless reports with them not shipping products, refusing refunds, ignoring support requests, etc. Roll the dice with them if you want. Do you feel lucky?
