I finally got a reply for my ticket requesting payment method changed. It did take about 10 days but did come through.. for minute I thought this deal was going to fall through.
finally sorted.. Will be collecting cash from others involved in this purchase and should be initiating bank wire in 2 to 4 days.
Thanks BlackArrow Matt and/or Julia I. for your help even if it took a while. It's all good now
Cheers

I thought group buys were not permitted??
Yeah, they're not. I did mention that a few pages back.
Well poop. Have an order that is presently in limbo, and would like to know if I made the batch 1 cutoff myself.
Have been waiting for a response from sales about submitting a payment :| Order #229x
double poop, I'm in exact same boat. orders #154x and #168x for (6) X3's that was meant to of been a group buy with my friends.
now my friends that don't understand the bitcoin business think I've duped them. I'm fucked from both ends.
This is one reason why we don't allow group buys.

It's not group buy at all. Not here, internet or anywhere public. It's totally a private friend/family organized purchase. Sorry
As I said I'll be collecting cash from MY FRIENDS/FAMILY as we're in on this together, and I'll be doing bank wire myself getting machines delivered to my premises and hosting, maintaining, submitting RMA's if required, etc etc..
hows this not allowed, and seriously who the fuck cares how I buy the machines.. I could of just said they're all mine
I really don't think Black Arrow would care either.
EDIT. I fully understand Black Arrow's policy on '
not permitting group buys' and personally I never like them myself.
Regarding the "no group buys"
Its probably a customer service issue. This is a small shop in China, not a call center with customer service reps on hand 24/7. They are selling specialized prototype equipment. Honestly, i dont think they want to dick around with complicated orders and offering many different payment options/plans etc.
Can you imagine selling 2000 of these things to every corner of the globe, and 6 months down the road you are getting calls from people for support, warrantee, etc. They arent on file, because they bought them from so-n-so, which originally paid with bank wire, but then added 3 more on with western union to a different address. They want a new part shipped to their house under warrantee. It cant go to the original buyer because now he lives 2 states over now. ETC ETC. It would be a nightmare. I understand what you are doing with your friends and family, but these guys are computer techs not customer service pros. Keep this shit as simple as possible as not to further delay.
Id say either have your friends order the units themselves (walk them through it)
or
have them give you the money to start up your mining farm and you give them a percentage of the profit at the end of each month.
