Reading a Distributor Quote Without the Marketing Gloss
Line items we flag first when reviewing ASIC procurement packages for Korean clients.
Procurement quotes for miners often bundle items you already own—or omit costs you will pay later.
Freight and Customs Assumptions
Quotes listing “DDP Changwon” still sometimes exclude brokerage retainers or storage fees after customs release. We ask for the full landed cost worksheet, not the headline per-unit figure.
PSU Version Drift
The model name matches your shortlist while the PSU revision does not. Voltage label mismatches against your rack PDUs have delayed three client installs in the past year.
Warranty Transfer Rules
Some warranties activate on factory outbound scan, not your receipt date. If units sit in distributor stock for six weeks, your effective coverage shrinks before plug-in.
Pool Preconfiguration Fees
Occasionally quoted as “setup service.” You can refuse it if your team already flashes standard firmware— but only if you spotted the line item.
