Thoughts on Blokforge vs Eastshore

I've seen some mentions of Blokforge and Eastshore around here. I have a few questions. Blokforge requires wire transfer or crypto for orders over $500. Honestly, that makes me a bit nervous. What if something goes wrong? And Eastshore? Only crypto accepted. That’s sketchy too. Have any of you used these methods? Any issues or good experiences?

Blokforge is solid, no doubt about it. I've bought loads of miners from them, like Avalons and PSUs, without a hitch. Their customer support is great, too.

Used both. Bought Avalons from Blokforge back when they were the US Canaan reseller. Eastshore? Only got a scrypt miner from them back in 2017. Took them 2 months to ship, and their site looks kinda shady... but the L3 I got worked just fine. My buddy ordered later and had the same deal.

I've had good luck with Eastshore too, bought 5 rigs in 2 years. They even swapped out one rig for a better model because they ran out of stock. Had to pay a little more, but it all worked out. Just took a bit longer for the StrongU STU6 X11, but that was on the manufacturer.

Blokforge usually includes that 27% tax in their pricing, while Eastshore doesn't mention it. Just a heads-up. Oh, and I got about 50 Avalons from Blokforge way back in 2018. They were awesome to deal with.

I’ve bought from eastshore.xyz. They seem legit. Just one little issue with a product image not matching the description. Not a huge deal.
