From Hong Kong to Norway Increasing Scale and Speed: How Luxor Delivered 3,000 ASICs Across Continents in Two Weeks
Background
A global Bitcoin mining client procured over 3,000 brand-new ASIC miners located in Hong Kong. Without a local team for in-person diligence and logistics coordination, they turned to Luxor for a comprehensive, end-to-end operation — from inspection to secure delivery in Norway.
Challenge
The client faced a multi-layered challenge:
- No local staff to verify the condition and quantity of machines prior to purchase.
- Urgent need for secure international shipment and customs compliance.
- Requirement for specialized logistics handling and real-time reporting on shipment progress.
Solution
Luxor quickly deployed a full-service logistics plan:
- On-Site Inspection: A Luxor expert traveled to the Hong Kong warehouse to conduct detailed in-person diligence on 3,000 miners, documenting model, serial numbers, and physical condition.
- Comprehensive Reporting: A full report was shared with the client to validate purchase details and ensure full transparency before payment.
- Optimized Air Freight: Luxor secured well-priced chartered air freight and repackaged the units to maximize pallet efficiency.
- Customs and Trucking Coordination: Luxor handled customs clearance at both the origin and destination, including coordination with local import authorities in Norway to ensure compliance with regional regulations. Additionally, Luxor arranged temporary storage and ensured safe final delivery with full door-to-door service.
Results
Within two weeks:
- The entire shipment of 3,000 ASIC miners arrived safely in Norway.
- All units were delivered in their original condition and were ready for immediate deployment.
- The client saved significant time and operational risk due to Luxor’s planning and execution.
Conclusion
By taking ownership of the entire logistics chain — from inspection through delivery — Luxor ensured a high-value international shipment was executed successfully. The client gained peace of mind, time savings, and assurance of asset integrity throughout the journey.
