Topic: PinIdea.io x11 asics - page 3. (Read 6101 times)
how long between purchase and shipping notification? I ordered one 20th of January and nothing yet. All I have is a confirmation and order number.
Well so far DHL still only shows that a label was printed so it hasn't even entered their system yet. But so far every single step of the process has taken several days, so if shipping takes a few days (and I am speaking of just the PinIdea portion of the shipping process) then it will fit the pattern. I am inclined to believe at this point that something will eventually arrive though. If the plan was to string me along they pretty much hit the end of the string along already, but really why bother? They had my DASH coins from day one, they could have ignored me outright if they actually didn't plan on fulfilling the order.
EDIT: Tuesday is the past in Hong Kong and DHL still does not have the package. They printed the DHL label on Saturday (in Hong Kong). So including Sat we have 4 days since the label was printed with the package still not sent.
EDIT2: Doh! I just realized I had written the edit above on Monday. Apparently I had gone into some sort of time warp. As of this edit it is Wed morning in Hong Kong. So Tuesday has now passed (for real) and Wed is passing. DHL still does not have the actual package.
EDIT3: I just received notification from DHL that the package was picked up! Which is odd since it is 5:16AM on Thursday there. DHL estimates delivery on Friday! I was starting to get a little antsy again. I will update on how it works but probably not until I run it for a couple days which means the 30th at the earliest.
So if I get it Friday it will have been 2 weeks from order to arrival. Not terrible I suppose.

Things are looking up. I got notification that my order is complete and was sent a tracking number for DHL. The DHL tracking web page so far just says the information was received so no package drop-off or pickup yet, but it shows it is shipping from Hong Kong to my location so looks like I will be getting something.
Pics when it arrives! That's a surprise.

I also sent two email to them, no response. I was going to send them money but just persuaded myself don't do that case I can not even get in touch with them though they seems were active at forum of dash.org.
Monday, I found Baikal are holding a group-buy, offering 10% discount. So, I gave myself a try on their mini miner(even, relatively, the price is still higher than Dr3 at this discount)... .. I sent them an email yesterday and after several emails, I paid. they told me within 48 hours will send the miner, but just 2 hours ago I have got my waybill..Good(I hope it won't came with a empty box... haha).
Still looking at Dr3, keep updating this thread! thank you very much.

I sent them an email on 1/6/2017 when I was interested in their DR3 and when I didn't get a response I assumed they had gone awall and just weren't shipping miners anymore....
Well I was hesitant and I did indeed have my doubts which is why I ended up posting this thread. To be fair I only gave them a few days to respond to me before I posted this thread so it hasn't been very long but total silence + they have my money is a bad combination.
I bought from them for a couple of reasons, for one they did deliver a product, or rather several products so they were certainly legit at some point (and possibly/hopefully they still are). I saw evidence of that in threads on dash.org and I can still find hardware resellers that have pinidea hardware for sell. The main reason I bought from them instead of the hardware resellers is that they list a newer model with more desirable specs than the models for sale from the resellers. Also these miners look like a better deal than the baikal miners.
I could not find recent conversations (like this thread I started) about them so I wasn't sure if they were reliable or not and I deliberated for some time on whether to take the plunge and buy it. At least at this point there will be this thread for people to find some recent conversation about them and I will post in here as to whether or not I receive a miner and how well it works.

Almost all hardware manufactures will hold your order for a few days. It's not so easy if you are them to find and ship your item (if they are legit of course). Good thing is your order is now processing so maybe you should just be a bit more patient

to be honest their site looks like other scammy sites so I don't understand why would you order your miner there at first place (look at some more recent transactions from them, not past)... But anyway for how long was your order on hold ?
Two things happened in the past 24 hours, my order changed from "on hold" on their website to "processing". I got a corresponding automated email about it but I am not sure if this entire process was automated or if a human being was behind it. However the second thing is more encouraging, I received an email response to my email to their support address. It was only a 3 word response and only sort of answered my questions about setup but certainly better than nothing.
I am going to remove the thread title portion about "possible scam warning" for the moment and see what happens.

Are you sure you ordered through the actual site of the actual company that made the miner?
There are a LOT of scams around involving sites with names SIMILAR to a legitimate site that aren't the real manufacturer site (though that seems to be most common for folks to try to scam pretending to be Bitmain).

I may be jumping the gun on this but I am making this post for two reasons: one, I have seen enough of these situations to recognize that it looks like I was ripped off, and two, because I wish I had found a post like this before I ordered a miner from this place. I sincerely hope I will have to come edit this to say that they came through and I was premature to worry about it and I got my miner and it rocks and all is well. Sadly I fear that in reality I will eventually have to edit out the word "possible" from the thread title instead.
These guys manufactured and delivered x11 asics in the recent past but as with so many companies in the cryptospace it appears they may have gone into full scam mode. They have a website operating and taking payments through coinpayments.net but they are not responding to my emails. My order has been marked as "on hold" on their website since I made it. Coinpayments.net basically just says you are on your own with the merchant so they won't help. I emailed both pinidea.io's listed support address and a gmail address I found for a Tomasen Shen who is listed on the website as a founder of the company. None of my emails have been answered.
It doesn't look encouraging that the pinidea.io website lists only 3 people associated with the company but Tomasen Shen's linked-in page (which lists his name as Shen Sheng) doesn't list pinidea.io at all. Instead it lists "PinIdea Co., Ltd." with the same logo but a website of pinidea.com, a website which does not exist. It also says "PinIdea Co., Ltd." is a computer game company which employees between 50 and 200 people. I am inclined to think that is made up since the website doesn't even exist but linked-in says there are 35 employees with linked-in accounts, but it won't show me any of their profiles because they are apparently "out of my network". And why he has this computer game company listed and not pinidea.io I am not sure but not good signs.
The pinidea.io website also lists another person's linked-in page, a Xinjiang Shao who was also active on dash.org in the past year in threads discussing pinidea.io miner sales. Xinjiang Shao's linked-in does list his association with pinidea.io but it looks like he has a different full time job so I am not sure what association he has with pinidea.io now. if I continue to have no response from the other email addresses I may contact him on linked-in next.
I paid just under 50 dash for the miner which came to about $660 at the time of purchase. I will update this thread with new information.
