I missed B4 as I have been traveling quite a bit lately, did the price drop below $1975 USD or hold firm?

What's the life expectancy on the S9?  The previous models only ran about 1 year so I'm hoping these can go longer.   

Let's hope you're wrong, I didn't buy a S7-LN to last for only one year.
Did you overclock it?

He is doing something wrong if he can say multiple models only lasted a year.  Either OC, to hot, or something.  No that is not normal at all to have that kind of rate dying.    I have owned quite  few and not had the 1 year little life he mentions.

Look at all the S3's hanging around they were built like tanks I think most will be working far past useful (except for free on) on them.

Mine appears to as well (DHL) -- not sure if I'm reading it correctly...

Picked up at shipper 8.5 hours ago.

Processed in Shenzhen 1.5 hours ago.

Departed facility in Shenzhen 1 hour ago.

I'm HOPING that means it cleared -- and still on its Friday delivery path...

My B4 cleared customs rather quickly and en route for delivery on Friday by FedEx:)

I mine because math
Finally after a couple full reboots, and the new 06/24 firmware my Batch 3 is now up to spec Cheesy, out of the box board 2 was underhashing, though the HW errors were never that bad.
Now she's hashing at 12.93 on Slush or Nicehash, and working through my stratehm proxy without a problem.

Not too bad for early batches, gotta figure this means these units were barely run if at all on their way out the door.

This batch was under $2000.00. Interesting to see if I'm charged the extra fee.

Thanks for the heads up -- I'll keep an eye on it.

And yeah -- I paid a little extra for DHL because of the "warning" that popped up with UPS.

Lets cross our fingers that all of the machines are priority processed!!!

It would be awesome to have them up and running before the long weekend...

Same boat for me  but I stuck with ups since every antminer has been sent to  me via ups since dec 2013.

If I get stuck the 45 for the one I will live with it.

I just received the shipping notification overnight...

Went to the website and got the DHL tracking number...

Both of my units will be delivered THIS FRIDAY!!!

YAY!!!

Don't believe the estimated delivery date until it leaves China.  It can get held up for a day or two (sometimes more if you have very bad luck) in the "clearing agency review" stage.  Once it leaves China though that estimate gets a lot more solid.

UPS says mine will be here Friday also but so far hasn't seen the dreaded "awaiting clearing agency review" stage yet.  This is also the stage where it will be decided whether or not you get the arbitrary fee (at least from UPS, not sure how DHL handles that).

Yes I expected "ready to ship" to mean a shipping notification within 24 hours.  They demand that you pay in just one!
I'm willing to bet that in the fine print the 'within 24hrs' is after it clears their orders system and shows up in your account orders as 'paid'.

My b3 took a full 28hrs before I got the Paid email from them. Based on the Paid email date/time technically it took another 26-30hrs before I got the Shipped email but they got it close enough for me.

Now as to the Scenic route that UPS decided to send it on which added another day. Plus the import fees kerfuffle...

I received an email 15 hours ago that it would ship.   7:46 am east coast time

So I am a bit disappointed  mostly because of the email as I thought it was shipping soon  not more then 15 hours later.

 But honestly not a big deal  I am more curious to see if ups will try for fees again since this is 1 unit not two.

I made the payment after 5 minutes release of batch 4,. the sales page said will ship out immediately...,...been waiting for over 24hour++, where's my UPS tracking code... Huh Huh

anyone have the shipping details?

nope  I am in that boat.  So I am USA based  I had hoped for truth and a Friday delivery  now it looks to be a Tuesday delivery as monday is the fourth of july.

So far  89 in import fees on 2 from batch 2.
And about a 4 day delay on this unit  which is about  80 usd.  figure 45 import fees and I have been nickeled and dimed 234 usd
on 5 s-9's

Oh well.  to be fair  80 in this delay  but 1 batch 2 came quickly  so  60 so net 20  and  I now get taxed by ups


so 20 is bitmaintech's fault and 135 is ups fault
 

Same here, I was really hoping for Friday. Crossing my fingers they are on the way and we just don't have shipping info yet.
