I am down to less than 32 cubes. I have orders in for many more but have no tracking numbers as of now. SSB

My tracking says it will deliver today as it has last couple days but with NO updates since being sorted at original location.  Here is hoping it comes today and its just a lag in the updates and not a lag in the shipping!!!

USPS tracking either works semi or not at all. Packages often arrive to me days earlier than it estimates. It depends on the post office they are dropped off at. If they don't scan it in and just toss them into the bin then its hit or miss if they get scanned during their travels.

I have noticed that when shipping myself. when ever I have personally asked the counter clerk to scan it in, the tracking shows up sooner

Tracking can appear to be at the original shipping location when in fact usps has shipped it and it is enroute. If the usps does not scan it along the way, the tracking does not show where it is at. Please keep me updated on when you receive it. SSB

Got my order of 4 cubes in the mail today (1 day later than schedule, weather was to blame according to USPS). All 4 look in mint condition, although one of the cubes had a screw rolling around in it that I suspect goes to a heatsink so I'm gonna check that out before turning it on. Also there were only 3 fuses sent with it but that's no big deal.

Everything else looks great; thanks for the quick service and great communication SSB!

Yeah.  I think SSB might have insulted the postmaster  Smiley



My order status looked the same until about 4am this morning, then it changed rapidly and I got my package this morning (I live in OK for reference)

Received my cube today very nice! Not going to OC it so I'm hashing away at 32.6 Gh/s.. the main board is bent due to pressure being placed on it from one of the hashing boards falling out of its top socket. It's wedged so tight I cannot remove the inner unit to fix the issue... so far all is well and I'm seeing all [oooooooooooooooooo ] on the status page for each board, that's a good sign. If anyone has an idea of how to remove this wedged board without breaking the other boards let me know.

SSB shipped the next morning like promised and packaged it very very well in an express box.

I really appreciate it SSB thank you so much,

I once received a plastic envelope with the top part of a shipping box containing the label with my address (no contents, just the box top) and a "Were sorry" note.

USPS at their finest   Angry

FYI - shipping companies by law can not undercut USPS on shipping cost. That is why USPS will allways be cheaper.

Another Fun(NOT) fact. If you put a letter in a box or overnite envelope from another shipper etc. It must still have postage on it. Worked at a corp gig years back. mail that came in to main office and needed redirected out to other locations was bundled together in a box and shipped via UPS. Post dude came in one day and saw them boxing it up. Told them that they either needed to put canceled postage for all the letters in the box or ship via USPS and brought back a copy of the legal section that covered it.  Huh

Government shake down.....   Organized Crime at its best...

Please check for any rattles when you receive cubes. Outer black case screws and inner silver heatsink screws sometimes loosen up/come off during shipment and may need retightening. Insurance is recommended for all orders in case usps loses order somehow. 95%+ of orders have been delivered by usps in the standard 2-3 day business window for priority mail. Some delays are happening I would assume due to holiday shipping. On my end, all orders are still being processed/shipped within 24 hours. Tracking numbers follow within 24 hours of shipment assuming forums stay up. If you think you need a replacement for a defective unit, let me know via pm. Any questions on how to run them/setup please ask here or in the forums.Thank you for your orders and have a great holiday/happy new year. SSB

Confirmed  this is no issue on SSB's end.... he gets stuff to the post office quickly!    This is a lack of incompetence by a failing postal service.

Shipping on cubes has been changed. Each cube ordered ships individually in its original packaging from AsicMiner. Each 8 pack of cubes ships in original packaging inside outer cardboard box that holds all 8 individual boxes/miners. New shipping rates are listed below:

Cube priority/express shipping

   Each cube   .024 btc or usps priority shipping label for 7 pound box 9x9x8
   8 cubes       .09 btc or  usps priority shipping label for 51 pound box 17x16x16
   Each cube express  .056 btc or usps express shipping label for 7 pound box 9x9x8
   8 cubes express      .19 btc or  usps express shipping label for 51 pound box 17x16x16

This has been changed to protect individual cubes from nicks/scratches/etc in transit. SSB

silent, received my 4 units. My units arrived kinda banged up, usps was not too nice to them. I know shipping them was a bitch due to size and usps box sizes are limited, but taking them out of the original shipping foam was kinda a bad idea, one of my units actually came with a dent on that thick extruded aluminum with grooves, and them some got scratched up...luckily I have tested 3 out of 4 so far, and all are perfect....one more unit to go....

also, even before plugging any of these in, I would suggest pulling out each board and blades....why, because on most if not all blades, the heats sink were loose and/or about to fall off...1 has a missing screw (which I couldn't find) and many heat sinks were loose. Also, some blades if not most, came out of the upper alignment grooves located on the top inside of the case. BE CAREFUL with the faceplate, when removing or replacing it, you need to watch out for the status LED or you will break it! 

Some of these rattled so hard I noticed pin pricks underneath the mainboard, where it seems the solder points underneath the board actually left 2 rows of tiny dings/pin pricks on the case. (check yours in case it's actually touching or it might fry)

Anyway...just an FYI for those receiving theirs.....

THANKS SSB, I have one more to test....after some sleep.

ps. I will send some btc to use of some of my credit on another 2 units. thanks again ssb,

sbfree.
Thanks for the update. These are hard to ship in quantities of 3+ because of there size/weight. I may have to ship each individually in there own box at a higher shipping rate or only ship two max per large flat rate box. Shipping prices will be updated once I decide how to handle this. Thank you. SSB

USPS is driving me nuts!! SSB shipped my cube Saturday night and USPS hasn't updated the tracking info since that night and my cube still isn't here Sad

tracking said mine should be delivered on the 9th....   usps tracking shows no new update since the 7th....   



If by some miracle it shows up on my doorstep. Ill be sure to test it for a few days before sending it on  Grin

Will do SSB. I currently have 4 packages being sent from around the country through various services (UPS, USPS, and Fedex), and ALL are delayed at least 1 day so far. I just thought I'd share the info to help ease some concerns. I will inform you when my cubes arrive, thanks again for the quick delivery and support on your part.
