For the members here who are placing a large order and going directly to Inno as part of the group buy offer.  If you feel comfortable letting us know that you ordered using the group buy that would be awesome.  I would love  to get an idea how many people are able to take advantage of this offer.  Thanks!
I am trying, but having no luck in reaching sales or any of the other emails since last Saturday.
Either they are going into a spam folder or they are pissed at all the email I have been sending...
No luck  Sad
Im in Arizona, and was going to buy the 3 units. 5 units was a bit too much, but 3 I can handle.
If anyone want's to piggy-back on my order (assuming I can get through to them to place it), let me know.
I would also be willing to piggy-back on someone else order if they have actually managed to get a response from them...

For you folks in Europe if you can nominate someone to take the lead by offering to receive the miners once the order is placed and shipped then have that person send the miners to you or arrange for a pickup that would probably work out the best.  With Innosilicon cutting us a huge break in allowing us to order a minimum of 3 miners it should not be too difficult to reach out to others here who are also in Europe to get a minimum order together.

If any of you are in Europe and are planning to place an order and would be willing to be the pickup point or shipping point for other members here please speak up so that others here will know to reach out to you.

In the US, I would like to take Searing up on his offer to be the receiver of a group buy order.  I can vouch for Searing.  I have talked with him several times on the phone and we have bought and sold items from each other.  So if Searing is willing I would like to place my order with his order and have the miners shipped to him.  If others would like to take part in this order arrangement please speak up and we will coordinate the order with Inno. 

I have asked Chloe for the bank transfer info so we can arrange for payments.  I would like to have commitments from people in the US who would like to place an order in our group buy to reach out to me or Searing with the number of A4's you want to order.  If we can get those commitments by say this Friday (July 8th 2016) I would like to see us get the first order in as soon as we can. We will sort out the communication/coordination needed to confirm payments, addresses, shipping costs etc for those who are going to take part in this group buy.

Again feedback and inputs are always welcome.  Thanks again for everyone being so patient as we work through the details on how to make this group buy work for as many people as possible.

To be honest I would like to stay out of the middle of the transaction itself for the group buy.  Inno has said they want the funds sent to them directly via wire transfer.  So I am certainly not in the middle of anything to do with money that is all Innosilicon.  

I also would prefer not to be in the middle of handling other people's miners and the logistics of shipping these all over the US, but I will if nobody else will step forward to do so.  That is why I suggested that "trusted" members of the community would be preferred to help coordinate the receipt and shipping of the miners if someone would be willing to volunteer.  

My purpose is to bring together a like minded group interested in buying the miners, and work with Innosilicon to make it happen for all of us in the group.  You can say my interest is purely selfish in that I want to buy the A4 also.  So I thought it might help get that done faster if I helped coordinate the communication for the group buy so that we could make that happen.  That is my motive here.   It looks like from here we will be able to communicate directly with Innosilicon for the ordering and shipping phase so hopefully my role here is going to diminish as this goes forward.  

I hope I didn't give anyone the wrong impression that I want in the middle of this... I simply want some A4's. Cheesy

I can vouch for Searing if he is willing to be our focal point/volunteer for setting up the group buy in the US so that we can have the miners shipped in bulk to him.  As always I am open to suggestions and feedback.  If others are interested in volunteering please do speak up.  

The more eyes, ears, and voices on this one the better.

Clueless!
Setting up a Group Buy by people who have accounts with less than 6 months is going to be difficult.  There have been way to many scams on BCT and I would be proceed cautiously. 

Those people wanting to do this Group Buy may be honest people but it is hard to tell these days.




I could do it ..not sure I really want to do it....

I can vouch for the Op here thou...newbie thou he may be

For those of you in the US that are interested in getting an A4, but don't want to commit to ordering 3 or more of them I would like to suggest that a forum member who wants to buy 1 or more miners and would be willing to take delivery of a bunch of miners for the group here could act as a central shipping destination.  We then would pay postage from that forum members location to our own.  This of course needs to be someone that we trust to send us the miners once they arrive.  We would pay our funds to Inno directly and then when all paid and the miners ship they would be shipped to the forum member here who could send these to each purchaser.

Also keep in mind that we "may" have to pay import fees as well.  It is hit or miss regarding having to pay these fees.  I have had it go both ways when buying stuff overseas.  So "BRACE YOURSELF" for the possibility of having to pay these fees.  If you don't agree to pay any import fees then please don't order a miner.  We want this group buy to be as smooth and trouble free as possible.

I am just thinking out loud here.  So please chime in if you have ideas, suggestions, or would be interested in being our "trusted" member on the forum that would help the group along that would be awesome.  I would like to see if we can get our orders in as soon as possible.   I would like to see if we can get some commitments from the group to move ahead.  So speak up.  We need your thoughts, and suggestions. 


Thanks for all of your research, Longsnowsm. I am still interested in getting only one shipped into the US and am willing to work with others to get a few of these shipped over to honor Inno's min 3 requirement for the group buy. If anyone else has the same interest within the US and wants to get something figured out, let me know.

So is min quantity 3 now?

It looks like they are going to cut the group buy here some slack.  The limitation now is DHL.

For group buy, does Innosilicon accept BTC?

So if I want to buy 3 units for example, all I have to do is mention "Bitcointalk.org Group Buy" and they will process it?



Yes, just mention Bitcoin Talk Group Buy in the subject and she will be looking for these emails.  They only take wire transfers direct to their bank accounts.

We have an update!  Whoooohooo! ROFL

So we have some updates to share. Here is the info we have regarding the group buy:

Regarding the group buy and shipping:
Quote
For group buy, shipping is a concern since we can only enjoy discount from DHL for at least 31kg. Suggestion is that each customer buy at least three units. For customers who use their own carrier account, this won’t be a problem.


Regarding payment method and process:
Quote
We can only accept wire payment. Group buy customers can send me email for payment instruction and quantity confirmation, and then wire the payment to our bank account directly. Shipping fee will be charged in August before delivery since it fluctuates a bit each month with the fluctuation of bunker surcharge. I can give estimated shipping fee though.

Contacting Innosilcon to take advantage of the group buy:
Quote
Please do ask to send email with the group buy link so I can recognize them. Thanks!

More miner info:
Innosilicon provided an update that they will be posting a new video soon of the A4 Dominator.

If you would like to contact Innosilicon to take advantage of the group buy offer you will need to order at least 3 units, or work together with other forum members to make an arrangement where at least 3 units can be ordered at a time and shipped to a single address.  Then coordinate how you want to ship or pickup your miner from the member who received the shipment. 

To order please email Innosilicon(Chloe Zhang) directly and include in the subject Bitcoin Talk Forum Group Buy.  She will be able to give the bank wire transfer instructions and give you a quote on the shipping.  Her email address is: [email protected]

For those that are interested in buying the A4, but will no be ordering 3 or more units make your need known and we can arrange to possible take delivery with a forum member here, and then you would still have to pay shipping from there to your address on top of the portion of the shipping from Inno to us.  Or if you guys have some other ideas let me know and we will see what we can do to accommodate as many folks as possible.   

Ok, so that is the update.  If you want to get your order in reach out to Chloe and she will get you the wire transfer info and shipping info. 

Let me know if you have any questions, or of course feel free to email Chloe and ask her directly.  Let her know your part of the BCT group buy.  She will be looking for those emails.

That would be great. Depending on shipping and handling of order processing I want 2-4 and hoping I can have them shipped directly to a host of my choice.

Thanks for keeping us posted.

We are trying to get the information from Innosilicon now on how they want to handled these orders, payments, shipping, etc. It appears they must be really busy trying to get things ready for these miners. 

It has been tough to get information from them so far so it appears things are still a work in progress.  I am hoping we can get some pictures and video of these miners running, and the process for doing this group buy ordering.  I will post any details as quickly as I get them. 

It appears we have more than enough people to get a first order together and submitted.  If we can just get the ordering details from Inno I would like to get confirmations from those interested in getting in on the first order so we can get this ball rolling.  If they are going to be shipping in August/Sept then I would like to get our first order in as soon as possible.  So I will keep you all posted.  I am still hoping Inno will join this conversation and speak to this group directly to provide us direction on how they would like to have us handle this order.  Hopefully that will happen soon.
