I hope Oct orders ship early and not at the end of the month. Order #45x here. Keep up the good work Dave. You should do consulting for BFL on how to run a proper business. You are a diamond in the rough.

This has been addressed a few times, it's still planned to be by the end of October on purpose, not by the beginning. Keep in mind that for example  August full rigs commanded a $11,000+ premium over October ones so I think Bitfury will deploy as it was planned without damaging its highest paying customer base. This is exactly the same fair policy that other companies, such as KNC and Hashfast follow on purpose. Otherwise, if Bitfury manages to ship October orders by end of September, will Bitfury refund a portion of the premium to August customers? No, right? If anyone wants to receive product earlier, they need to pay the premium that corresponds to that time difference. Pretty simple. :p

   I think 400Gh/s for Aug delivery was 19kusd maybe I am wrong.

$19,250 to be exact.

The premium over Oct delivery is $19,250 - $8,000 = $11,250.

Looks like we paid too much as it would take about 6 weeks to make up this premium. However, had the current difficulty turned out to be little lower the tables would have been turned completely.

Understandable that you want to protect your investment from the diff from our Oct orders, you did pay a premium. But hopefully getting in early Oct would be awesome and still provide you August orders enough time. By end of Oct is the goal as a deadline but early to mid Oct would be awesome and still fair.

Of course it'd be awesome for you and I wouldn't mind at all as long as August customers would get a proportionate refund since they invested for a 2-month difference. However, I don't think Bitfury would do that or that's how a business practice should be. We didn't pay the difference just to have "enough time." I think the industry in general should be defined in "no earlier than X, no later than Y" timeframes to keep it fair since it's based on an advertised  timeframe (+/- a few days) investment. 11 grand is 11 grand and it definitely affects ROI.

I agree with you for the most part but I don't think you paid extra to have two months of mining before more would ship. I think you paid extra for August delivery, by the end of August as the deadline, it could have been sooner except for the fab snafu. We paid for Oct delivery with a deadline of Oct 31st, but sooner is a possibility.

I don't think that's how it works. Both products are delivered by the same company and offered at the same time to compare. Hence, investment decisions are not made in the vacuum. You pick either the gold or the platinum product just like any other company providing various offerings whose trade-offs are incorporated and reflected in their pricing and terms difference.

#13X starter kit, flat fee : no news yet

This is sounding good though! I just hope flat fee shipping can beat the weekend!

NOTE TO DAVE: is there a mid-tier shipping level to Canada that will take less than 4 business days? I would hate it if the flat fee takes more mining profit away from a starter kit then I could mine over 6-7 days

  I dont think you can get any faster with custom road check.

Priority Mail Express International™ Flat Rate BoxesMore info about Priority Mail Express International™ Flat Rate Boxes
USPS-Produced Box: 13-5/8" x 11-7/8" x 3-3/8" or 11" x 8-1/2" x 5-1/2"
Maximum weight 20 pounds.
3 - 5 business days   
$64.95

Is this the flat-fee shipping, because it is much less than the $199 offering on the site that indicates it will ship with express international packaging? I know there is no intended harm in the high price, but I just fear the idea that my miner may ship with a low-tier priority when I would gladly pay $65 to get it 2-3 days faster
