GAW MINERS 
PAYPAL ACCEPTANCE
Date: May 13th, 2014

We regretfully inform all GAW Miners customers that we are no longer accepting payments through PayPal effective immediately.  

As you may be aware, our astounding growth over the last few months has lead to an explosive growth in the number and variety of customer PayPal transactions.  These payment, pre-order, which range in size from a few to hundreds of thousands of dollars, and originating from over 100 countries has created certain issues with PayPal regarding customer identity, fraud and regulatory authority compliance.  We are actively engaged with PayPal to expeditiously resolve these matters.  Please bear with us while we work towards an early restoration of PayPal facilities to our customers.

In the interim, we are pleased to accept credit cards, wire transfers and Bitcoin payments.
 

Josh maybe GAW should create their own Scrypt coin like GAWCOIN and reward customer in GAWCOIN based on how much they purchase.

I am sure there are many other creative ways to use the coin to reward customers, promote the GAW Miners business, people could use GAWCOIN for purchases etc...

Just a thought.

 

Using PayPal is important to me as a buyer.  Some sellers don't like it and make excuses for not having it but if they meet their commitments then there's no issue.  If they don't ship when promised or you get broken goods then it is PayPal that saves your butt IF the seller ignores you.  3 orders from GAW and there wouldn't have been 1 if they didn't take PayPal so hopefully it is back soon.

I was wondering if there was an official announcement about removing PayPal as a payment option? I find it sort of odd that I can't find an official announcement about this issue.

I went to order another Fury last night, but didn't see PayPal as an option. I contacted support and I was told that GAW Miners is having to renegotiate a new agreement with PayPal due to their sales volume.

Is there an ETA on when that new deal will close and you'll be accepting PayPal again? 

Very true.

I'm sorry to read this but I have no doubt that they are doing everything possible to resolve the matter.
I know from personal experience that meet hundreds of clients is virtually impossible but that is where the difference is made ​​by a great customer service.
Sometimes it takes a little time to solve problems, sometimes it takes more.
I understand the anger or disappointment but better to have the willingness to solve the problems that the total absence.
However, I hope that the problem will be resolved soon

there are a  lot of unknowns there. Obviously, all those of us buying are betting that we will still be able to ROI, but it's anyone's guess at this time

Ok, I want to say one thing.
I had several problems with my hosted blade and sometimes I'm angry a lot.
I have submitted at least 20 support tickets and I also mistreated the gaw boys but...
never never I had so much help from a company.
"Gaw boys" are great (let me mention a particular man, Luke Rusten).
He has been with me several hours to solve my problem.
The problems are always there in every situation and no one is immune.
The difference is made by men and relationships with customers:  Gaw miners in this is second to none.
So I would recommend it to everyone because trust me, they are giving first place always customer satisfaction.

P.S. Nobody forced me to write anything because believe me I am not a person so easy to tease.

I've ordered a few times through GAW as well and have had some good and some not so good (but still ok) dealings so far. My first gridseed order came with a bad power brick. That power brick is still sitting on the floor in my computer room because they couldn't figure out how to help me with it. I was expecting some kind of reimbursement or replacement but I gave up after a few days of back and forth emails and I just wound up buying my own 12v power plugs for the gridseeds instead. I wasn't too bothered with this though because I actually prefer the power plugs over the brick so I didn't mind and didn't press the subject.

My second order of gridseeds came with no issues and everything is in working order.

I've personally talked with Josh on the phone and think he's a good guy with good intentions. Overall I like the company.

With that said I've not spent another dime on any hardware since I overpaid for those gridseeds and their prices dropped 60+% in less than a few weeks. I think this whole business if shady as hell and I'm debating if I want to even bother with it anymore. I don't blame GAW at all but the hardware manufacturers are taking you all (including me) out to lunch right now and we're all paying the bill. Between scams, broken contracts, missed deadlines, false promises, crappy broken hardware and under performing devices, I'm sitting on the sidelines until I see something a bit more trustworthy.

I am considering the 54Mh hosted package. My only concern is how fast difficulty will shoot up. There are a lot of big ASIC coming out which worries me we are going to see a big spike in difficulty and I will not see a good ROI. Hmmm i guess time to do some more debating.

well you know me. and GAW is funky weird .   I HAVE ORDERED  more then 7 orders total of  2k plus

order 1851  was five grid seeds   all good items.  but order was delayed due to a large paypal fraud done to them
they gave me a free sixth grid seed.

order 2552  a few wires perfect order.

order 2574 five grid seeds good price pretty fast shipping 1 dead usb2 cable

order 3675 a 20 port hub some wires.  they sent me a pair of 13 port hubs and the correct wires.   this was  a big issue for me I freaked out complained bitterly on this site saying they are on my s list I will never buy again .  they reached out to me fixed all issues even the one I did tearing down a rig to pull a 20 port hub since they did not send me the correct hub and ran out of stock..  this error cost me about 200 usd. they gave me 180 in refunds and let me keep the pair of 13 port hubs.

order 4708 I grabbed 5 gridseeds at the new price of 60 each for members.  they were silver not gold and they are used.  but so far they work fine.  At 60 bucks I am willing to buy used just tell me they are used.   oh 1 bad usb2 cable.

order 4830 2 power bricks and 1 gold grid seed new at 60 for the grid seed .   power bricks good   second perfect order.

order 4982 2 grid seeds at 60 each comes tomorrow.


based on my orders they did 3000 orders in about  32 days.  they also host a lot of hash power.

my guess is they need more staff and are overworked.  as for the post office not showing that it was shipped.

I sell a lot on ebay and I use the post office a lot .  If you do not walk you delivery up to the window and have them scan a receipt the post office fucks it up a lot.

So I go 3 to 6 times a week. almost every day if I have a hot item..  I let them scan in my prepaid  labels.  but and here is a big but if you go with 5 packages they ask you to use a scan sheet.
  guess what they fuck the scan sheets up a lot.

 So what happens is   a guy selling 100 or 200 items a day gets a shit load of no scans.  Unless he makes friends with a clerk at the local post office.  

I don't defend many sellers on this site. (DzCoop people will understand why)   but I think if you are east coast based GAW out of Massachusetts with a cc or paypal is your best choice as a seller.

I will order from them again.  I just wish they had better quality control.  But they have fixed everything I mentioned.  (well they don't list the 60 usd grid seeds for members as used so far 5 of 6 were used.)

I do not mind paying 60 for used ones just tell us.

they are deleting posts?, again?

I had one of mine deleted a while ago for asking a simple question.
that doesn't seem fair for a forum.

Nope, its been going on for a while. We have only been using them to gain the scale to then bring the cost of fedex and UPS down to offer free shipping through them.

What are you trying to proof with such a negative attitude? I spend about $2k at GAW and the only reason I am posting this is because people like you are throwing shit at them based on a few posts and messages instead of actually ordering.

I was in the shitty position where the European customs fucked me over by charging me over $300 extra on import costs and taxes while I asked for a commercial invoice at the comment section when ordering. I also asked for EU power adapters for the usb hubs but I received US ones instead.

They told me that they do not offer a Commercial Invoice, yet they refunded me the full amount because it was such an unexpected drawback for me. They also refunded me for the usb hubs and gave me some store credit for the trouble.

You want proof? I can give you pictures of the orders, pictures of the miners or whatever you even desire. I am posting a defensive post because I actually gave them the chance to proof themselves while you are being negative without spending a single dollar.

What do you people expect from the mining world? free testing? free miners? free compensation when something new comes out and you make less money then expected?

This isn't a fantasy world with a happy ending for everyone, for every miner that is being sold we all have to pay the price of getting less income per hash.

Do you think that every car that is produced will run for years without problems? NO, some will have problems within months! Then why are you people amazed that some miners aren't working 24/7? If you dont trust GAWminers that they are working hard to keep your uptime as high as possible then why not ship them to your home?

Lets not take this to far, I just want to post my experience with them as I feel that the entire forum is made for this.

What gives you the right to call your opinion about GAWminers "the truth"? Every person will have a different feeling about them, respect it and stop spamming the thread trying to prove your point.

Is the problem deeper than just "losing" packages? I've had hundreds of packages and have never lost a single one via USPS. It just seems like there's something much more nefarious going on here than simple loss. Are they being confiscated for some reason?

Oh dear..  wheellocks is back again?  Did his Meds run out again???

Oh dear...



Lets just put it this way..  If you read all the "Stuff" wheellocks has posted here on Bitcoin Talk, you cant come to any other conclusion other than he is nothing but a DonkeyTroll.. Simple as that..

Do your homework people..

And remember, please dont feed the DonkeyTrolls..

USPS has lost about 20-30% of our packages. So, thats typically the case in situations like this. But if you an PM me your order number, I will personally find out whats going on, thanks!

I see what you did there, pretty witty.

GAW helped me out with each and every problem I encountered with my orders and my miners are hashing away 24/7 without problems at home. They refunded me more then they should and are open for new ideas!
(They combined orders to save shipping costs and threw in some extra miners when they shipped back a replacement for the DOA miner I received)

All these negative comments are not what GAW Miners deserves, I've ordered from several ASIC suppliers but GAW definetly is my favourite.

+1 for GAW, excellent support and delivery! To the moon!
