We’ve had a few people ask us recently if we ship our MinerParts including PCIe Risers, dual power supply cables and Bitcoin hardware wallets internationally.
Our current list of countries (that we’re aware of shipping too) are:
Canada, Brasil, Australia, Macedonia, Hungary, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Belgium, Czech Republic, Russia Federation, Singapore, Belarus, Chile, Argentina, Peru, South Africa, and Israel
A lot of our customers use shipping forwarders to order from the US. This adds an extra cost. No need to forward when you order parts from MinerParts. We can ship to you direct. We ship via USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL. If you don’t see a valid shipping option during checkout just send us a message. We’ll try to find a better shipping solution for you. We know that some shipping vendors are better than others depending on where you live.
Countries in BLUE are countries we have already shipped to.
You can see from the image above the 1x PCIe card that connects the USB cable to your motherboard. I’ve flipped both cards over so you can see the soldering on the back. These are both brand new risers taken straight out of the anti-static bag!
The green card is neat and tidy. Clearly whoever put it together took their time.
The black card is messy. It looks like extra solder is smeared on the back of the card.
One of our customers has over 3 GH of Ethereum mining equipment. He was the first person to tell us about the problems with the black risers. He was experiencing intermittent issues. We sent him some replacements and he compared the two. The green riser was superior.
Green risers clearly have a better build quality than the black ones. It is easy to see from the image at the top of this post. There are other minor deviations between black and green risers. We feel that in general, the build quality of the green risers is more professional and detailed. Green risers seem to be better quality and less likely to fry your equipment.
We’ve notified our vendor we only want to buy the green risers in the future!
We stand by all our product. If a vendor starts to send us a bad product we’ll find a new vendor or get the issue squared away. We’re also happy to ship replacements to our customers!
Typically if you have just one or two bad risers we’ll ship them free. If you have more than a couple we may ask you to send us back the old ones and we’ll ship you new ones. That way we can provide more details to our vendor about the problems. (Someone also tried to claim 20 out of 20 bad risers which we know isn’t possible! This helps prevent someone from abusing our refund policy!)
We’d love to know what you think? Have you had any problems with the green version 6 riser or the black version 6 riser?
