It wasn't even a box, it was cardboard taped together.
Yes it seems fedex did a number on that one. We'll go ahead and schedule a pickup to RMA that miner and have another back to you as soon as we receive it. This is the first instance of a 1.2Th arriving like that, surprised the foam protection on the sides didn't keep it safe like all the other miners shipped.
We'll arrange for an RMA pickup for Monday and have a new miner back to you in a jiffy. Thanks.
I have a similar damage package.
Not only is the package damaged by the components are damaged.
One fan completely destroyed. Metal rack all bent up. Two boards appear to have their power connectors destroyed. One board appears to be bent.
Am I supposed to send this all back?
Why did you folks not ship this unit in a proper package?
This is so upsetting. I wait for a unit that is delayed for over a month and I get this shoddy packaging! I can't believe they skimped on packaging for something that cost $6,000. This is ridiculous.
I've shipped lots of hardware and you need to have a lot of foam and bubble wrap. AMT shipped the unit with ZERO bubble wrap or foam, they just had paper to fill up some space. Otherwise, there was zero padding. Now I get a damaged system! It is so dumb of them to cut corners on the packaging!
Come on, are you really surprised?
These packages are so inconsistent, packaged and shipped with a hodgepodge mix of packing materials. I guess you gotta use what's available, when you pick your boxes and packing materials out of a walmart dumpster.
Damaged on arrival, missing ethernet cords, no documentation ... what's next? AMT Claims that they haven't had this happen before, but if you read back; there were a few different Bitfury based miners that had theirs damaged in shipping. This has been the norm for AMT since day 1.
Is AMT's shipping department based out of the back of Joshua Zipkin's car? You charge people $6,000 for hardware, then pack it up in next to nothing so it can disintegrate in shipping? Sounds more intentional than not, that or AMT is just so blatantly fucking ignorant.
