What is the process for buying miners with Asic Jungle?

For Smaller Orders:
  1. Find a listing that you are interested in.
  2. Purchase the units directly by clicking on "Buy Now".
  3. Choose the quantity that you would like to purchase and press "Next".
  4. Insert your destination address.
  5. Choose your payment method. If all units can be paid for using Credit Card or Bitcoin, choose the “Instant Buy” option and press “Next”. If your order is too large to be processed completely through your credit card, and you need to make a wire transfer please choose the option "Deposit". To learn more about deposits and why they are in place, please refer to the following question.
  6. Double-check all the details in the Order Summary. Your shipping quote should also be displayed there. When ready, click on "Proceed to Payment".
  7. Once your payment has been made, press "Place Order". Your orders will now become visible in your order cart with their current processing status. Follow the wire instructions displayed below or on your invoice to complete the rest of the payment (if necessary).
Once checkout is complete, Asic Jungle will safeguard your funds and will only be made available to the seller once your shipment has been received and verified or after 7 business days.

If you have a lower limit on your credit card or chose not to use bitcoin as a payment, we provide you the option to make a deposit to reserve the units you are interested in buying until we receive your wire transfer.
If a deposit is made, the seller will be notified about this and asked not to sell the units to anyone else. Our platform will also lock the number of units reserved for 48 business hours and prevent someone else from buying them under you. Paying a deposit also shows a commitment from the buyer side to proceed with the full payment of the units. Please, be aware that deposits may not be refundable in certain circumstances. For more information about this, you can contact us directly by telephone or email.
The image(s) on the post I am interested in is(are) not sufficient, what should I do?
If you're interested in a listing with an insufficient number of images, or clarity of the images we suggest you contact the seller to ask for additional information.
We recommend closely examining the images uploaded by the seller. Especially in the case of second hand ASICs and merchandise. This helps to avoid potential disappointment resulting from unexpected defects, wear and aesthetics.
For more information on the messaging system please refer to our "Messaging System" section of the F.A.Q.
What determines the price per Miner?
Asic Jungle gives Sellers the power to price their own products on our platform. We strive to promote a marketplace that favors competition to ensure the lowest price for our Buyers.
How does Asic Jungle ensure the goods are real?
A unique authentication code ​is generated for every post a Seller makes. They must display this code in at least one image of the products to ensure they are indeed in their possession and that the current condition of the miners are accurate. The code is a random string of letters and numbers generated by our system that cannot be falsified.
What should I do if the seller doesn't respond to my inquiry?
There are many reasons why a seller might not respond to your inquiry in a timely manner. Increased demand can result in a longer wait period. Religious and statutory holidays can also play a role in a late response. Try your best to be patient, remember it is in the Seller best interest to get back to you.
Where can I report suspicions about an item's authenticity?
You can do so by contacting the Asic Jungle team through support@asicjungle.com or by phone at +1(866) 404-1906. Please describe the reason(s) for your suspicions in as much detail as possible. We will then look into the matter and take any necessary disciplinary measures.
How soon is the item ready to be shipped?
This is case by case and you should verify this with the seller. Although we emphasize to sellers that they should have their miners ready to ship in a timely manner, sellers operate on varying hours and pacing. In some cases where a Seller has yet to pack and prepare products for shipment a product will take longer to ship. Sellers must follow our strict packing criteria to help ensure the safety of your goods during travel, more information can be found in our ​"palletization and packing guide ". If a shipment is taking too long to be prepared, Asic Jungle staff will get in contact with the Seller.
For all other types of products
The process remains the same for all other products. The descriptions of accessories or parts may vary from Seller to Seller. Please ensure you read the descriptions carefully and contact the Seller if you have any outstanding questions.
Important: Asic Jungle's ​"palletization and packing guide" does not include guidelines for all types of products. For more information please refer to the Shipping section of the FAQ.

Shipping

How long does delivery take?
The time between buying and receiving your goods depends on several factors: the overall distance, the time it takes Asic Jungle to receive and confirm your payment and how quickly your seller is able to prepare the units for pickup. Our logistics team will ensure that your order is shipped as quickly as possible with no delays.
How much does shipping cost?
Shipping costs are automatically calculated by our freight generation system during the checkout process. The final shipping quote will depend on where the units are located and the destination address. Be advised that it is in our interest to provide you with the most competitive shipping quotes.​ Asic Jungle takes your interests into consideration making the affordability and security of your shipment a top priority.
What factors determine shipping cost?
Price of shipping is determined by the distance, weight, quantity and accessibility of both facilities (pick-up and delivery). For certain deals, customs and tariffs may apply and any applicable service fees associated with your purchase.
Which delivery service will deliver my order?
Asic Jungle uses an inhouse shipping system and works with a variety of top rated carriers across North America. ​We take the burden of organizing and preparing shipping upon ourselves to ensure the highest levels of customer satisfaction.
Can I track my order?
We'll send you an email and on site notification as soon as the item has been shipped. This will include its tracking number, if available. If a tracking number is not available, our logistics department will be able to assist you with the progression of your delivery.
How do I ensure my products are shipped safely?

All shipping on the marketplace is done through trusted and reliable logistics partners. We are concerned with the safety and security of your product during shipping and keep a close eye on your shipment through all stages of the process.

How am I expected to package and prepare my products for shipping?

Purchasing

Why should I make a deposit?
Deposits help reserve the units you wish to purchase through wire transfer. Wire (bank) transfers can take several days to be received. Therefore, we recommend you to make a deposit, ensuring to reserve your goods from the marketplace and prevent anyone from purchasing any units underneath you by using a faster payment method (credit cards or bitcoin).The selected quantity will be deducted from the post and re-added if you cancel your order. Rest assured that your deposit will be deducted from your total purchase price on the final invoice.
What percentage of the total invoice is my deposit?
Important: If the deposit amount ends up being too large for you or our platform to process instantly, please give us a call at +1(866) 404-1906 or send us an email support@asicjungle.com​ and our team will do its best to accommodate your request.
What happens to my deposit if I cancel my purchase?
If you cancel your order the deposit you put down will be forfeit. Since the items you reserve are taken off the platform it prevents the seller from selling their goods to other buyers, thus potentially affecting their chances of selling the units. We therefore recommend that you only make a deposit when you are 100% sure of going forward with the purchase.
What happens to my deposit if something goes wrong with my order?
In the rare event that something goes awry with your order, such as the Seller no longer being able to provide the units you reserved, you will be refunded the full amount of your deposit.
Where is the wire payment option in the checkout process?
The wire payment option is shown following the deposit stage of purchase processing. You will see the wire instructions on the final invoice too.
Be advised that prior to allowing bank transfers we require an initial deposit. This is to ensure competing buyers do not have the ability to buy the same items you are purchasing. The deposit is used to reserve your goods, it is deducted from your final purchase price and is non-refundable in the event you cancel your order.
Can a seller offload my reserved units while Asic Jungle waits to confirm my wire (bank) transfer?
No, a Seller is notified immediately once a deposit has been put down. The sale of reserved units to another party would go against our User Agreement and the Seller would be liable to potential disciplinary action.
I'm interested in a post from a Seller abroad. What should I take into consideration and what fees may apply?
Purchases originating in a country other than the delivery destination may incur additional costs such as customs fees, taxes, or shipping and insurance fees. In this situation Asic Jungle's logistics department handles them internally, communicating directly with the counterparties and other people involved.
What documents do sellers need to submit in order to sell on Asic Jungle?
Every seller on Asic Jungle has their identity and integrity thoroughly reviewed during the registration process. This includes their ​personal identification with selfie, proof of address and an article of incorporation.
