Hi guys. I'd like to ask if anybody has ordered miners from pinidea.io. Are they a reputable company? Has anyone experienced any problem with their purchase? How reliable are the miners? TIA.
Thank you for the feedback. Did you get the buy 5 get 1 free deal? Did you pay with BTC or Dash? Per their web site. they prefer Dash, saying that BTC order can take a long time to be confirmed, which might lead to order cancellation.Hi,
I have ordered yes. Seems ok so far - but I am concerned since I read a few things about scams - but then, there seem to be a lot of panicky people who shout scam and then the kit arrives. So I paid yesterday and they previously told me 10 September delivery. Waiting patiently - I will surely let everyone know my experiences.
Yes - that is what I ordered. Chatted to a chap called Alex Li over there and arranged to pay BTC. Paying in Dash was another step - my order is now listed as processing and appears to have been accepted as paid. But your question is do I spend the cash!? So on the one hand you could lose out and they sell out, on the other it is a big amount of money to spend in one go. I have not heard from them since I arranged payment which is un-nerving to say the least. I can't say if you should or should not buy because it is the risk we take to get the newest kit. I missed out twice on the D3s from Antminer so I took a risk - I hope it pans out.Thank you for the feedback. Did you get the buy 5 get 1 free deal? Did you pay with BTC or Dash?

I am also concerned about the quality of the miners. According to their terms and conditions, they basically do not offer any kind of warranty. and whatever happens to your order once it's shipped is none of their responsibilities. Bitmain at least offers a 180-day warranty for their D3. An order is worth over 9 BTC at a minimum, which seems to be a big risk. I just want to find out if any people here in this forum can share their actual purchase experience in the past before I plunk down 9-10 BTC.
Yes, I did the buy 5 get 1 free.Thank you for your input. Did you get the buy 5 get 1 free deal? I assume your DR3 order was shipped from China. Which carrier did they use? Did you have to deal customs and duties? I have never ordered any miners from China so I am very unfamiliar with the whole process and feel a bit nervous about the prospect of dealing with customs. I'd greatly appreciate it if you guys can share your whole shopping experience with pinidea.io. By the way, do they offer any kind of warranty with your DR3 or are you on your own once they ship them out. Thanks again.
Really glad to know that you actually have some Pinidea equipment. Did you order the DR3s direct from them? What sort of instruction manual did it come with?I ordered 2 DR3 miners back in February. Both miners have had no issues and have been running continuously for nearly 7 months now. I also have DR100's on order, paid in BTC and had the same experience as teknick described.
Yes, ordered direct from pinidea. There was only an online manual. Alex responded reasonably quickly to all the questions I had though. The setup was pretty simple.Really glad to know that you actually have some Pinidea equipment. Did you order the DR3s direct from them? What sort of instruction manual did it come with?
Jake,@teknick, can you please give an update whether you have received your order and or any correspondence? I am considering placing an order as well.
Thank you,
Jake
I got a shipping number.Well, I am happy to report that today I have received my tracking number and it appears they have left the facility in Shanghai. I wait excitedly![]()
Hi, Not sure at all about the VAT and Shipping since I am in Hong Kong and there are no import duties here. Mine are up and running as of today. Good luck!I got a shipping number.
But i am concern about customs clearance.
How can i prove they are for private not commerce?
And how much the tariffs included vat in us?
If you are in the US I don't think any extra taxes/duties are due. You can also get more detail with your tracking number if you put it directly into the DHL website instead of the 4PX site. The DHL site will show you detailed updates about customs clearance.I got a shipping number.
