If you were them, wouldn't you include the price of the shipping in the total price and offer free shipping? In terms of revenue you would get the same amount of money, but also you will get happy customers. Or charge $30 for shipping and change the product price accordingly.
Can you think of a single reason why charging $180 for shipping, instead of including that in the price is better?
I don't have a BA (Hons) Business Studies degree, so I wouldn't presume an attempt at an answer.  LOL sorry CYPER but this was funny  |

So i own some first batch KNC miners, but as i was not the original buyer i did not have access to buying more boards, I don't even know if they have any left, I don't imagine so as it was only 200 boards and 3 boards max per buyer. Maybe an original buyer could check for me and we could arrange something? Or if anyone has bought many of these up and is looking to sell, please contact me
thanks in advance

I will be laughing all the way to Stockholm, while going to get my new shiny boards and exchange my faulty ones. If I bought 10 I would have saved $600 on shipping and could hire a helicopter to go there in style  |

...annnnnd this thread is starting to give me cancer again.
Yes they could have conducted this upgrade sale better but OMG I can barely read some of this crap. What is it that makes so many bitcoin miners insanely emotional and entitled?
If I was in KNC shoes I would make a preferred customers list and blacklist 90% of the people here since there is no lack of demand for their products and a seemingly infinite supply of emotionally immature customers with an overwhelming feeling of entitlement. They could save themselves a lot of grief that way...
If you are so unhappy close this thread, never come back and don't buy KNC products.
It's not 90% of the people. It's 5-10 people only |

@ Orama
If I already have a commercial UPS account, any chance I can get KnC to use it (save them and me money, allows my rep to stay on top of it for me). I have 4 on order so it would save a significant sum.

Don't get your hopes too high. If it's not convenient for them, they will probably decline, citing established procedures. I have quite a lot of experience in this |

Funny how some people think that somehow since they couldn't "Win the race" buying up the upgrade boards, that KNC still owes them something.... or they got treated unfairly...... Total B.S. You snooze, you loose..... I did.  i didn't snooze man, i ordered right at 8am.... the payment system they used had its flaws "They used"....Bitpay! There just is no better system. lol Didnt shillorama say Bitpay crashed due to all the payments for boards, really good payment system . . . |

Plenty of companies do the "low product price with 100% to 300% markup on shipping" and plenty do the "higher margin product price with FREEEE FREEEE FREEE (did I mention FREEEEEEE) shipping". Both work. KNC chose the former. If they chose the later you would have people complaining the price was too high and the FRREEEEEEEEE shipping was just a gimmick.
There's also companies that have web devs that know how to issue a query to the mail carrier's API and retreive the actual cost for the package and have the customer pay the actual cost of shipping. |

Guys, I will have 1 module for sale once it arrives. I just realized that I I can only fit 2 more, not 3.
I'm starting to question my purchase. Can a Jupiter run 6 modules? Or only 5? |

And see how many people expressed concerns of the over inflated shipping charges. Paying more to ship 3 boards, than to ship a whole Jupiter. Yeah makes perfect sense.
The proof is in the pudding. The sold out in what an hour? Now if there were still 190 of 200 unsold and tons of people complaining saying they won't place an order until the shipping is fixed you might have a point. Not saying it is the best strategy but it worked (and honestly it will probably work again and again and again and ... ok now I am just wasting bytes). |
