Oh BFL, how are you not sued and burnt to the ground yet?

I remember seeing threads about persuing legal action against ButtFuckingLliars - anyone know how they are doing?

If you calculate back, an extra 4 days is $200, but they delayed 8 months which is about 240days.

Well if this happened around August then yes what you said may be true.

Thought the community might want to know if it's not out there already.

I had ordered a 60 GH/s unit way back at the beginning of the year. There was an initial shipping charge (international). About 8 months in to the wait, BFL offered an "upgraded" expedited shipping option for about an extra $200. Of course I jumped at the opportunity to get my miner sooner in the face of increasing difficulty.

Disappointed when the box arrived and I found that it was the Priority Mail International® Large Flat Rate Box by USPS - totalling $53.95. I get there can be some handling fee included perhaps, but really seemed like gauging to me.

Scumbags.

"upgraded" expedited shipping option

So you waited 8 months and you paid 200$ for your miner to arrive in 1-2 days instead of 5-6 days more...  Roll Eyes
In any case you should ask for those 200$ back.

If you calculate back, an extra 4 days is $200, but they delayed 8 months which is about 240days. Please claim back $12000 (240/4*$200) from them for using snail shipment.

I just checked my order, standard shipping $88.
So that is reasonable markup for packaging.
I would demand that $200 back.  Angry

You would have at least expected a priority 1 or 2 day express courier or something for that price.
