For the people who are unaware you may setup an account on USPS, UPS, Fedex, etc and have several options at your disposal.
With UPS you can have the package diverted as someone else mentioned. You may pay an extra 5 bucks to have the delivery window shortened to just a few hours so you do not have to sit waiting if being delivered to your home. That one is my favorite, but you would be quite happy with the choices these companies offer now, you can even select for them to leave it on your front porch / stoop, or run it around back, etc and not to wait for a sig, but I personally would never do that for something which costs this much, especially when you know the fight and all the money you will have to pay to get warranty issues addressed.

By the way if you have a fan failure, fugget about warranty. Standard BITMAIN Policy is fans are not warranty items, go buy fans locally. I won't say it can't be done as I know for a fact it can, but I decided to order a few anyway. I have a box full of fans and I also ordered a few of the 4200 RPM ones so there is no question if I use one of the exact same ones they provide they cannot cancel warranty on my S7s and S5+.
I am not complaining about BITMAIN today, I simply wanted to pass the word on the fans so people who do not know can be prepared.

Oh I know this was mentioned by someone but, I was also told by an "official" source they are shipping in the order the full payment was received by BITMAIN and nothing else matters. I believe who told me this, so just check out when you ordered versus some others who are receiving this week and you should be able to narrow down your ship date from bitmain. If you ordered the second day after others then check who else ordered second day and see if they have a ship and so on.

Ontario not so much, they pay about CAD $0.14/KW I think. Quebec is better at CAD $0.08, but you have to put up with living in a shit hole province.

I would probably love to have your power costs though.  I imagine you are paying no more than $0.05 to $0.06 cents per kWH?

Must be nice!!!  Here in Ontario we generally pay 13% tax + brokerage + duty (if applicable) I'd love to pay $40 on an $1800 package!

I redirect mine to the local UPS Store and that way I just stop by on my way home and can sign for it and not miss it. The UPS store told me last time they were not happy about the fact that they get nothing for doing this. They use to charge $5 for the service but UPS will not allow them to charge it anymore.

Try living in Canada. We pay taxes on fucking EVERTHING, it's ridiculous. My Titan alone cost me $1500 in duties. Fucking piece of shit government.

I believe you are spot on with the brokerage fee.

There are no taxes above 2.5K either but UPS is likely charging a "brokerage fee" for the paperwork.

Yeah I'm so confused.. I must be unlucky and/or got a shitty customs agent

I've made several purchases in the past from bitmain [All of which were over $2.5K] and never had to pay import taxes/fees.  I had to pay a little extra for shipping because of weight not correct.  Only was about $35.00 but that was it.  Hopefully, I do not run into issues with these 9 rigs coming in soon.  They haven't shipped yet.

I thought we're not supposed to pay import taxes if it's under $2.5K.

Have you tried to remote in yet?  Toomim is suppose to have this capability.

I had this on PSU's before from bitmain.  I got sent a letter after they were already delivered I ended up paying like 8 bucks for 3 PSU's.   Mine was the weight they claimed was wrong compared to actual. 

I'm guessing yours is something like. But I could be wrong.

So talked with a rep on the phone and it looks like US Customs flagged 1 out of 2 total packages and now I have to pay $39.74 in taxes / duties / import fees.

She said customs probably overlooked my other package which is why only one was flagged

I didnt realize we have to pay these fees in the US, and what a bunch of BS that 1 must have made it through without discrepancy, but the other requires this fee? when its the same damn thing

can you easily redirect internatioonal UPS package to a local UPS store? thanks

i don't want to sit around afraid to leave the house. One time I took a brief shower and UPS truck missed me-had to go to the warehouse to get it on the same day

yeah mine is in alaska now too.. but the one still shows that msg..

chatting with a rep and he said

When it comes to the exception, it indicates that duties, taxes and brokerage fees have been applied to this shipment, the charge is $39.74. You can pay for this using a check or money order payable to UPS upon delivery.

You shouldn't have to pay duties or taxes if you are in the US.
My tracking showed the same message but then it was later cleared.
It is now in transit currently located in Alaska.
Can't wait till tomorrow.

don't know for a fact, but most likely it is due to bitmain posting a wrong weight on the package (someone mentioned it before)-it is somewhat scandalous that they would do it after charging us full price for shipping $46 for UPS when it is the same they charged for S5, which was heavier.
If it happens, they would need to issue a rebate as it is clearly their fault. However, it should not be more than $20 (optimistically).

whats weird is, the second unit i ordered doesnt have that note on the tracking at all.. only the first one.. and they are separate tracking numbers so its not a 2 package shipment.

Thanks...

Please let me know how much they are going to want for the two you ordered.  Much appreciated...
