From? what happens if they check customs? need pay more? if don't check don't pay customs duty?
I mean fucking honestly USPS... I could have gotten on a bike and took a small vacation and received my miners faster...
How is it possible to take this long to deliver something?!!!?! Oh and the "tracking info" makes it seem that the package has not even been received by USPS yet... it just says "electronic shipping info received" like it was entered into a system... and just is sitting on some shelf somewhere now... that cant be the case... right?

USPS does suck unfortunately unless you pay for every bell and whistle. Delivery confirmation is not even technically proof of delivery, they call that "signature confirmation." USPS routinely scans the packages at the office as "delivered" and then loads them on the truck for delivery. This means you can have a package marked as delivered but not actually show up until the next day.
ARGH.
And still no device in the mail... If it does not come by Friday of this week I am going to have to assume it was lost in the mail, there is NO WAY it could take over 2 weeks to ship right?
definitely not. sounds like it's lost for you too. there was one instance i know of 2 packages of two sent to someone who ordered only two. i assume those are shep's missing pair and have sorted that out. for you guys... uh... well, i have the warranty ones, and my personal 5... 19 total.
FWIW, all the ones I got from Arklan were Silver, and all the ones I got directly from friedcat were black.
my board says Rev 3.0 what does it say on the ones from friedcat Same stuff. Rev 3.00
My Fedex guy rang the doorbell, stuck it in the mailbox and took off. Unfortunately high priced items should always be sent with signature required. The people who haven't received theirs yet should contact Fedex now.
edit: never mind... it turns out the guy dropped it off in a weird place that I didn't notice at first... but I found the package, everything is ok!
If anyone is interested in more, I've got a new group buy setup: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/open-usacanada-grp-buy-5-16550-asicminer-erupter-usb-204236-ea-5-units-226656

My little guy is busy hashing away on my Beaglebone Black. The heatsink is toasty - I have a large fan on it and ordered a couple of those popular USB fans.
Thanks Arklan!
Thanks Arklan!
Got mine today. Canada, west coast. No brokerage charges levied by Fedex. Clocking in at 333.5MH/s. I used 50btc pool, any reason not to?
I've used 50btc for a while with no issues. I have them as an alternate in case the pool I use goes down...
For what it's worth as a data-point, of the 50+1 extra friedcat sent me, I had two defective units that necessitated a re-ship.
None of the 20 I ordered through Arklan had any trouble.

On the corner of the Fedex label it says "Bill Sender".

4 i've replaced as defective on arrival. none that i am aware of have died after initially working.
Question for Arklan-
You mentioned you have had to replace 5 units. Were these dead on arrival or did they fail from use? I am hoping they were DOA, and my working one is not at risk. Thanks.

Of course my neighborhood was being repaved today. So with the car quarantined, I dusted off the bike and made the hilly trek into town to pick up the haul from the post office. Well worth it. So far, miners working as advertised with cgminer 3.1.1. Love the form factor, too. Fun! And so sharable, no pun intended.
