Topic: How long will my BFL 30 be stuck in UK customs? (Read 7502 times)
Oh, the custom should pay you for the delay, 2 weeks for this machine is like 30% of the machine value already...
The final insult from BFL 
fu*kers
fu*kersNothing to do with BFL. It's just the way it works when you import anything from outside the EU.

[EDIT] do you think UK customs will accept bitcoin 
I think you know the answer to that one
Funny thing is, if Royal Mail owe you any money, they just pay you in 1st class stamps, which they print up!
Next big thing - stamps with a bitcoin picture
this is my processing in my country
1 week better than UK! 1 week in BTC world is a lot - UK imports are crap
At least you're getting something. My 7GH Jalapeno was ordered in late June. They're shipping early April orders. Expensive paperweight by the time it arrives (though if BTC keeps going up in price it might still be worth running if/when it arrives).
Assuming you paid about £150 for the 7G jally - you may ROI if bitcoin prices stay like this...
Have you paid the import tax? It'll sit forever until you do.
Huh? I thought BFL paid the import tax. I've not heard of anyone in the UK having to paying import tax on BFL items.
everyone i know has paid vat on there bfl miners
yup I paid £100 import duty

Did you try calling up the custom?
When I phoned them they told me to be patient and they had a backlog to deal with. I have it now anyway. Big lesson learned with buying hardware.

Sad 
So is it working? 
I'm not even going to open it. It's on eBay current bid is £645 which means I might just break even with only 8 months of broken promises to show for it. BFL rock

3 weeks to get a parcel from USA to UK - you can travel round the world on a boat in 3 weeks.
It should normally take about 1 week, to speed the process up you can call the delivery company (if you have a tracking number) and find out where your parcel is. It will normally be sitting in a box at your local distribution center while someone thinks about writing you a letter.
When you find out where it is you can go and pay/pick it up yourself with some id. I shaved about 5 days off the inefficient usps/royal mail process when i did this.
Total costs will be a maximum of 20% + 10 quid for royal mail. You normally get robbed on the highest amount either the invoice value or if you have it insured, the insurance value.

Received my order from BFL today. It took 2 weeks in total with the last 8 days in the UK with customs. It did at least arrive the next after paying the fees.

ROTFL. No, you have to pay VAT, import duty and handling fee.
