iBelink is first to market with a big boy X11 miner. Your free upgrade will come from your chance to ROI by being first to market. iBelink doesn't owe anyone anything other than to get these out the door and into your hands ASAP so you have a chance to earn some of that money back.
Anyone getting a miner in October will be lucky if they can ROI in a year and I am not sure I would hold my breath on that year figure.

This approach is what was before the customer satisfaction & loyalty was discovered. In today's era only those organization survive who show gratitude to customers instead of 'i don't owe you anything' attitude.
Even a giant like Bitmain started realizing it and decided to give cost savings to its customers and despite of huge customer base they do cooperate with customers in many regards for example sending a low customs declaration to help customers save on customs duty. Where in i was disappointed to find out that iBeLink do not even facilitate request to issue a lower value customs declaration invoice to help customer save on duty which is a trend in China.
Remember, no body control or can control who get how much revenue, its only the attitude towards customer which make them loyal to any organization or not.
Thanks.
Bitmain shipments to my location are for face value of the items and never a discount. So no break there. Customer loyalty in the mining community? This is a Unicorn not often seen here. Bitmain used to give out coupons toward future purchases, but that pretty much dried up now that they are really the only game in town.
In the mining community you work hard to build relationships. It would be nice to see more from the manufacturers in this regard, but the reality is that for the most part all the manufacturers are just trying to stay alive in the face of the Bitmain assault.
Investment, R&D, manufacturing equipment, shipping, and customer service all require a lot of money and at the moment Bitmain is sucking most of that out of the market. If you think iBelink is making out like a bunch of fat cats and owe you something then I would say you should give it some more thought. Looking for free upgrades when they are just trying to stay alive is fanciful thinking.
Good luck looking for a customer loyalty upgrade. I would be thankful if I managed to order a first batch miner and getting it soon so that I had a good shot at a early ROI. Any follow on batches in Oct or later getting a short ROI is a pipe dream.
You didn't get my point, let me explain you
Point # 1
I ordered L3+ from bitmain and its price was $2000 including shipping PSU, so i requested them that when you send out for customs declaration send invoice as $90, they did it and it saved me money on customs. CLARIFICATION: I AM NOT SAYING that bitmain gave me discount of $1910, instead they took the $2000 and the customs invoice was issued worth $90 only. Do you get the point?
I requested same think to iBeLink and they denied......this is rude specially when they don't have any loss in doing so. Because in my country the custom duty on miners is huge.
Point # 2
Regarding your argument that Bitmain is sucking its competition, i agree to some extent and that's why i gave the suggestions to iBeLink that help the customers and in return you will get the miners loyalty. Ask YOURSELF if iBeLink give you free upgrade or lets say upgrade at nominal charges, won't you show them some respect and loyalty?
The miners i talked to, 99% of them said YES.
Point # 3
I am myself big fan of iBeLink, and advocated them all over the forum when bitmain initiated the price war, however remember only those trees survive for long in devastating storms which are flexible and NOT RIGID.
Business is all about strategy, that is what Bitmain is doing and iBeLink needs a good business strategist.
I personally want iBeLink to become biggest manufacturer but again like you said wanting something is separate and different then reality.
Thanks.
The only hope is they improve their delivery system and make its customer's money worthwhile.
