anyone in canada have experience with getting these ants... whats the customs procedure like? how much did you end up paying in taxes / duties?
About $26 a machine. No customs issues, just pay the man when he comes to your door.

Wow... they broke the 0.5 BTC barrier! May 11, 2014, 07:03:37 PM
I'm in Ecuador, so bitmaintech listed my S1 as a "Video Game Gateway" and around $160, so Aduana (Customs) here inspected it, didn't know what it was, so they only put a $16 duty on it. DHL paid it for me and then charged me $10 for the courtesy. So in all, I only paid $26 for duty/fee and was thrilled it didn't get hung up for a month.
I ordered a 1000W power supply from Tiger Direct for about $120 plus about $45 in shipping, and not only did customs hold it up for about a month in Guayaquil, I had to pay $100 tax on the damn thing. Customs... what a racket!

1 of my S1's was dead this morning, thought it was a bad psu. Plugged it into another and one of the caps exploded and started on fire! This is it for me now for sure.
I find that highly unlikely. Capacitors of the size found on the S1 aren't large enough to cause a fire unless you're stacking your S1s on top of gasoline or something. It's always possible that there was some freak accident, I suppose.
It probably would have extinguished itself if I hadn't been there but its always a little scary with electrical fires.It doesn't look like there is much on the board to go up in flames but who knows. Lesson learned, I am getting a dry extinguisher asap just to be safe.
And I would be happy to replace the S1 with a S2 if I was given a super awesome coupon for the trouble. Win-Win.
yikes!

Why heavy customs duty is charged? Can you sell via ebay global then customs duty will become predictable.
Currently how much is the declared value in the customs invoice?
Assessed for $600
imho is high as f*ck, customs charge like 150 usd for a such declared value (almost the cost of the miner itself)

I did some searching too and could not find anything else related to an s1 catching fire.
Thanks for the info
ive kept an eye out in most hardware threads for anybody talking about their units starting on fire, and this is the first ive noticed. as i may have to leave my s1's running for a period of time unattended i wouldnt want something like this happening. this single incident does not phase me and i bought 3 more s1's this morning.

Fire . The one thing I'm worried about. Was just about to click buy on another. That's scary.

It sucks when your custom officers hate you and decided to screw you by jacking up the assessed value. Happened many times to me too.
