    How soon is soon? As mentioned by FAT32 earlier in the thread it may be a long wait.

    They would be receiving a barrage of PP disputes probably.

    its 1EUR cheaper, has 2x 500GB instead of 500GB compared to the KS1.

    Firstheberg has no AntiDDOS as it seems but still, 2x 500GB for 4.99€, is neat for storage.

    And now people got 40GB SSD?!

    I got your point, but I think the vps is a nice deal vs nothing.

    I did it for the storage as @saibal and @Neoon mentioned. So a refund would be better in my opinion over a VPS I don't need.

    This exchange is good for those who had selected the 64GB SSD. It would lose 24 GB of storage and gain a VPS with very decent configuration by price (8GB, 4Vcore). It will not work for me, because I'm looking for storage.

    But they offer both option. It's a nice option if you didn't look for storage.

    Same here. I was quick on ordering but in the end it didn't get delivered. Do they really want us to go through PayPal for a refund?

    I asked them again to be sure but my French has gotten a little rusty :)

    In my humble opinion this the first huge fail, of 2018 on LET, that had to happen on Easter, and April Fool.

  • levnodelevnode Member

    The first time since I knew LET, I am not regret for missing a party. LOL

    Nearly 6 years for the second one. Nice.

    Grade A+ for drive manufacturer, Grade F for data integrity.

  • NeoonNeoon Community Contributor, Veteran

    Well, I posted on the first page, that there could be a stock anomaly.

    Next time I put up a bigger warning banner.

    If a provider has a stock system and still lets more orders in then they have stock, there is no help.

    Well, its for backups, its running in Raid 0 anyway.

  • SaragoldfarbSaragoldfarb Member

    I just asked them to keep my money and let me know when one's available. Will let know if I ever get it :)

    That was fast. Just got my Atom delivered. They made it seem like I'd be waiting quite awhile and not just one measly night. I'm pleasantly surprised.

    Power on hours: 55467 & 32948. No reallocated sectors so not too worried. Not using for anything mission critical anyway.

    Now let's see if I can get them to remove VAT :P

    Problem is that you should have said something two days ago and also tried to justify your comment a little.

    They just got back to me with an expected delivery timespan of 2 to 3 weeks. Not all that bad. Must add that support on this issue wan't bad at all either.

  • MasonRMasonR Community Contributor

    They said VAT isn't removable... Not sure I understand why, but I'm not going to get upset about 1 Euro per month.

    It's a good sign that they're reactive now that the long weekend is over. As I said earlier, I suspect that they simply weren't prepared for the onslaught of LET on Sunday.

    By the way, netcup also doesn't remove VAT for non-EU residents.

    There are long discussions about this issue in earlier threads on LET. The conclusion seems to be (without wanting to start another discussion about this) that one can/could also consider servers/hosting as a service provided locally (i.e., in the country) as opposed to the analogue of goods sent outside of the country. This seems to be a murky area where in practice, it's legal for a provider of servers/hosting to charge VAT to non-EU residents but it would also be legal for them not to charge VAT to non-EU residents, though some people would argue that legally, it can only be the one or the other. But until one of these two practices is challenged legally, it's simply hard (for non-experts in VAT) to know for certain.

    Yeah I guess you're right about that. And I can totally understand sales support is a low priority on days like this. I personally would make sure support can cope when I'm running a promo though.

    Anyway, I don't mind the wait. I'll concider it as an early 'cristmas present' when it gets delivered :)

    I still can not access the customer area. Does anyone else remain with this problem?

    PS: no response to the ID that I sent over 48 hours. Is it still Easter in France? rsrsrs...

    Would you care running some cpu/encrypt benchmark, just to see how abysmal these things are?

    e.g. "openssl speed -evp aes-256-cbc"
