Still, the procedure to apply such credit is unclear.
I am waiting 6 days on this already.

Me: I would like to have a credit or refund, please

They: we can do credit [no details provided at all...see my previous post of their response verbatim]

Me: please, either do it or tell me how to do it

They: silence

i have yet to ask or start on my nov 22 shipped t17e.

I was indeed given $8xx in credit towards a s17 pro 53th for overpayment on the s17+ no need to lie . As you see payment from "balance" is said credit.

first screen shot of a credit from a balance from anyone in this thread 🧵.

thank you.

Thanks

I did a thread on the t17e. Try amazon search for leviton 2n208-21 it does up to 200 amps. I am going to quote this and move it to the t17e thread.

I have had better fortune
I placed all my orders minutes into the S17E sales going live I believe 7:06 and 7:02, 7:03 am paid instantly so I believe this put me at the beginning of the line
Nov 1-10 Shipped on the 11th - 1 day late
Nov 11-20 Shipped Yesterday late night so 22nd - 2 days late
Nov 21-30 TBD
I also feel slightly more fortunate dealing with support (Carol gave me a 3 week refund eta) also TBD

okay i will come back. and delete off topic in a hour or so.

I deleted four posts. i saved them by sending a pm to myself.

so far no one has shown a screenshot or any real proof they have had money credited or refunded.

3 or 4 of us has been promised refunds.

one person did say they got a credit on a bank transfer.

a second person said they were refunded with no proof or method.

I am not a mod. But this thread is to be helpful to those of us trying to proper refund/credit/coupon

stating bitmain ships on time is not helpful. i have an order for 2x t17e miners that were promised on the 1-10 of nov to ship they shipped on the 19.

they arrived today. i mentioned this on my secondary account.

9 days late
marked at 2704 and i paid 3569 an 865 shortfall.

and 9days of mining is about 100 bucks so a 965 shortfall.

this has not been addressed by bitmain.

...If you follow bitmain rules they process the credit very fast and ship promptly.

There are NO rules stated for credit.
I asked five days ago.
The response basically was "We can do it" without ACTUALLY giving it and/or explaining how or when it would be applied.
It's not like you put your new miner in a cart and credit suddenly pops up-this did not happen (I tried).
If they provide credit, I will post about it.

Thank you for your reports and testing gives us all an idea
My second s17e shipped out today will be here Wednesday
No way to avoid the 13% import fee in Canada lol paid it every damn time (DHL)

Let’s give it some time see how they handle the credits on a larger scale it’s just beggining
As well as refunds I been given a “within 3 weeks” time window by Carol will report the changes on that
They could change their mind and there is nothing we could do
Once people start receiving the refunds we can judge the situation

So gear arrived.

Testing the t17e it is doing 54-55th on the gui

Some good news it was taxed at 51 usd shipped out of Malaysia

Tested second one 54-55 th

So they do 2-4th extra or in my case 108-110 vs 106 as mine were listed to be 53th

No trump tax Just the 2.6% due to malaysia build listed.

Still 9 days late and price listed was 2704 vs 3569

I will need to try to get some compensation for this gear.

I am due 114 for the s9k and they did promise to send refund. We will see how this one goes.
I have a meter and will post the watts for these

3356 watts for the t17e = 3356/55 or 61 watts a th these are a bit power hungry also loud.
Still 110th added to the farm

the s17 pro also tested on low speed 1634 watts 43 th 38 watts a th so

4 s17 pro on low speed do 172th and 6528 watts
2 17e only one speed do 110th and 6712 watts

s17 pro on low are nice and quiet

One month to process a refund?!?!!

I won't be surprised at all when BTC price mysteriously spikes right before everyone gets their refunds processed...

Actually, I do not mind waiting for 2 reasons. Firstly, I am getting my money back. Secondly, (I look forward to BTC drop so I can enter with even more cash) even if it jumped back to 8-9k $ I wouldn't mind as I think I placed order at around 10k $.

I am totally lost in the meaning of Bitmain reps response.
Invoice says that there is a large difference (about $2000) in the value of order vs current invoice (paid in btc, but they count $$ value).

-snip-

Not sure why they are OK to provide refund to some here, but not in my case. What is the difference?
I paid initially in bitcoin.

I would suggest you opening a new ticket and asking for Carol or any other support staff. But I am not familiar with your case so they just might not refund you at all.

Here is what the rep said:

Quote

Dear ,

Thanks for your consultation!

we don't provide refund.

The extra payment will remain as USD credit under this order according to the exchange rate when you place the order.
Please contact us you need use the credit in your new USD order, then we will transfer it for you.

Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.

Chita

Question: can coupon be used on the top of credit (which they seem to agree to provide)?
Like this: $1700 order, minus $1400 credit, minus $150 coupon=$150 due?

They're in the 7c to 7.5c per kwh range, at least for small #s of miners. You can run your #s to see if it's worth it to host there for 6 months to get the 25% discount the gear.

I pay 5.6 cents but yes the 25% discount would add up.

Quote from: wndsnb on November 22, 2019, 12:28:35 PM

This would be a lot easier if they just had separate listings for gear made in Malaysia. I guess they just don't care about the small guy ordering a couple miners here and there. Need to be ordering 100s to get good support.

This x 1000000%

Quote from: wndsnb on November 22, 2019, 12:28:35 PM

My decision was to either place the order myself shipped to another host I use in Canada and pay 5% tax, or try to use my credit + coupons through my USA host and pay the 2.6% on the gear from Malaysia. I didn't even think the 2nd option was possible until I gave up waiting on Bitmain to answer any of my support tickets and asked my host to ask his contact.

well glad that at least worked out for you!

ahh yea i wont host anywhere. Most likely, their cost is higher than my own.

But it also seems like some normal orders off the web site for S17 pros shipped to the USA have been coming from Malaysia anyway.

They'd require you to host with them and they'd probably require you to pay upfront. Here's the link to their website if you want to contact them.

https://www.valuehash.com

I've had gear hosted there for a few years and I'm pretty happy with them.

I'm trying to use my credit and most of my coupons to place an order through my host so it will be guaranteed to be shipped from Malaysia. My host says he has talked with his contact at Bitmain and the order will get placed today. Fingers crossed.

your host - can anyone order thru them?

that tariff savings is like 2 coupons lol

Nice work keep posting what happens.
I have 3 orders coming today.

1x s17 controller
2x t17e's
1x s17 pro

the 2x t17e order needs a large adjustment. I will start working on it once it arrives and of course it is working gear.
