6 Benefits of Using ASIC Resellers Over Manufacturers
As cryptocurrency miners operating a mining farm, we are continuously evaluating different options for ASIC miner resellers. One of the most recent miners we reviewed, the Bitmain Antminer L7, was sent to the VoskCoin YouTube Channel by Antminer Distribution to review. Let’s talk about some of the advantages of purchasing with an ASIC reseller as opposed to buying directly from the manufacturer.
1. No Additional Tariffs, Customs, or Import Duties
Depending on the ASIC reseller’s location, you could potentially eliminate any import fees associated with purchasing a miner. Often times when you purchase a cryptocurrency miner directly from the manufacturer, there can be hefty tariffs for shipping the miner to your location. Resellers typically buy in bulk and can avoid some of these fees or they will front-load the cost of them for you. By purchasing in bulk, resellers can also sell these miners at a lower cost than what you see on the manufacturer’s website. This can end up saving you hundreds of dollars on your purchase, and ultimately reduce your return on investment time.
2. Quicker Shipping Times
By working with a reseller, you can also cut down the shipping times of your machine. Often times ASIC manufacturers are running hundreds if not thousands of orders at once, especially after a miner release. ASIC resellers have a much more manageable order backlog and can be physically located much closer to their sellers, cutting down on shipping times. For instance, Antminer Distribution is located in Europe, and offers shipping from the Netherlands, China, Malaysia, and the United States. They also offer an option to pick up your miner if you are local to the Netherlands! Shorter shipping times means you can get your miner up and running faster.
3. Find “Out-of-Stock” Miners for You
Manufacturers like Goldshell and Bitmain often go out of stock shortly after a miner release. Using an ASIC reseller is a great way to get these miners if you missed a miner release directly from the manufacturer. Some ASIC resellers, like Antminer Distribution, will even offer to track down miners for you. If you don’t see something available on their website, Antminer Distribution will use their connections to help source the miner from somewhere else!
4. Multiple Payment Options
Some manufacturers only allow payment in cryptocurrency and do not accept certain credit cards. By working with an ASIC reseller, you could have additional payment options including bank transfer, credit card, ApplePay, Bancontact, SOFORT, Giropay, cryptocurrency, and more.
5. Warranty Options & Customer Support
A common misconception about working with an ASIC reseller is that you void your manufacturer’s warranty. Resellers, like Antminer Distribution, honor manufacturer warranties and even offer their own warranties when customers purchase a miner through them. Their warranty options in Europe last up to two years. They also offer customer support via email, Skype, Webchat, Facebook Messenger, and phone, and are reachable in just a few hours. They offer technical support to help walk you through any malfunctions and have their own in-house repair service if needed.
6. Additional Services & Features
Some ASIC resellers offer additional services or features when you purchase from them. For instance, Antminer Distribution sells parts and offers hosting options for your device! Hosting can be a good alternative solution for customers who want to get into mining but do not have the time or funds to start their own mining farm, don’t have a competitive rate, or don’t want to monitor the miner’s performance.
Next time you’re looking for a new miner, consider purchasing from an ASIC reseller instead of the manufacturer. There can be a lot of benefits of doing so, some of which can reduce your return on investment time and get your miner up and running sooner.

Working with ASIC resellers can be risky. This is not financial advice. Please do your own research and verify all ASIC reseller information before you decide to work with them. Make sure you are also looking out for reseller impersonators and scam websites — antminerdistrubution.org is NOT the real antminerdistribution.com!
