My order was UPS. Been at UPS in Lousville since Saturday. If we order more than $2,500, do you think Bitmain would ship them all single? or should we make 10 orders for 10 different address?
This will be 1 week delay.

Did anyone else in USA have to provide SSN to customs before they would release package for delivery?
Yes. I had to do that as part of the customs form that I had to fill out for FedEx.
This seems to be a common thing to happen when you order bulk quantities (over a certain value). It seems to flag customs and you have to pay when it arrives. I had to pay $38 when it arrived. I have been making all single orders since then and not been asked for SSN or had to pay when it arrived.
Yes importing values of $2,500 USD or more will result in this.
I may be lucky but I've never had it with UPS even if over. Only thing i've had was they audited the PSU's and saw they weighed more then bitmain declared so I had to pay the difference (like 15 bucks for 3 so not bad).
But other then that no problems on UPS here. With being at edge of DHL drivers area, DHL is my worst one.

Yes, Fedex called me for SSN, asked if business or personal. Now I only do UPS, less of an issue with customs

We could expect this price increase since BTC prise is skyrocketing recently. Unfortunately this bubble will explode before the S7 arrives and destroy dreams of ROI 
How do you figure that?
The only thing that is constant is the price of power and the price of the S7 in USD. If the price of btc goes to $1,000, the S7 will cost 1.7 btc. You will need to mine 1.7 btc to achieve ROI.
I would appreciate a much slower, but steady BTC price increase...
In November of 2013 the price went up 10x in 6 weeks...
Just be careful and reconsider your invest. BTC price if fluctuating too much at the moment to calculate mining profits for the B4/B5 S7.
But we can be quite sure that the diff will be somewhere higher than it is now.
I am a fan of bitcoin since years and I would be happy if the price could stay at a higher level, it is only happening too fast right now (although this helps me earning some BTC on trading ;-) )

I need spare S7 FAN
any idea where to get one?
Not for new ones but its the same fan from the S4, S5 and S5 if you can track down one of those.any idea where to get one?
Still the same price as before, $1700 and $1800. Wonder why they didn't raise the prices. I am sure people would pay more.
At this $/BTC, everyone can make money so its happy days all round. November 03, 2015, 04:34:00 PM

Looks like we may have found the top (for the moment). I can't get my transactions to confirm for the past couple of hours so I can't buy one right this second as my coins were consolidating (so I can buy one if I decide to) and now they are stuck in limbo.

So, went ahead and ordered a B5 for 4.759 BTC, B1 order cost me 8.236. If I waited a few more hours, it would have cost me even less BTC.
We're at 4.335 right now. I am contemplating pulling the trigger myself. But I am thinking it may only just barely mine that much back in total. Since I am paying in BTC I want to mine a little more BTC then I pay to make it worth it and I am not entirely sure it will be worth it.
yeah its a tough decision , man im glad i did not buy back when the inital launch though.

Did anyone actually receive compensation for the batch 1 delay?
Nope, nothing yet. I'm curious how long Bitmain will try to wait.
Unfortunately the higher the price goes the less BTC they will refund with because they are calculating with USD.
