How can we help?
Answers about paying with crypto, shipping, returns, warranty and privacy. 41 questions, searchable as you type.
Ordering
Do I need an account to order?
No. Checkout is guest-only. After you place an order you get an order code and a private order page. The code is your receipt.
How do I place an order?
Add products to your cart and open checkout. Physical items need a shipping address; digital orders need none. Choose a coin and place the order. Your private payment page then shows the exact amount, the address and a QR code.
Is there a minimum order?
Yes. The minimum order is $399 in products, before shipping. Combine products or increase the quantity to reach it; your cart shows how much more you need.
Can I change or cancel my order?
If it hasn't shipped, message us with your order code and tell us what to change. An unpaid order expires on its own after 48 hours, so there's nothing to cancel.
I lost my order code. What now?
Orders placed in this browser are listed on the track an order page. If you added an email at checkout, the code is in our message. Otherwise message us with the coin, the amount and the transaction ID of your payment.
Can I order a build or product you don't list?
Yes. Tell us what you need, such as the parts, your budget or the AI model size you want to run, and we'll reply with an offer and a payment page.
Paying with crypto
Which coins do you accept?
Bitcoin, Monero, Ethereum, Solana, Tron, USDT and USDC on several networks, Litecoin, Dogecoin and more than a dozen others. The list at checkout is always current.
How long do I have to pay?
Send the payment within 48 hours. The amount on your payment page is fixed for that order, so send exactly what it shows.
Why must I send the exact amount?
The amount includes a small unique offset that identifies your order. Send it in a single transaction and don't round it.
Who pays the network fee?
The sender. Make sure the amount that arrives matches the amount on your payment page.
What if I underpay, overpay or use the wrong network?
Message us with your order code. Small underpayments can be topped up and overpayments are refunded. A payment that arrives after the order expired is credited at the order's value or refunded.
How long until my payment confirms?
Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Tron and stablecoin payments are detected automatically once they confirm on-chain. Monero payments are checked by hand, usually within a few hours. Your order page updates by itself.
Do I need a memo or destination tag?
Only for coins that use one. Your payment page shows it in a warning box. Include it, or the payment can't be matched to your order.
Which coin is the most private?
Monero, because it hides amounts and addresses. Stablecoins such as USDT and USDC avoid price swings while you pay.
How do I avoid payment scams?
We will never ask for your seed phrase, a wallet password or a test payment. Only pay the address shown on your order page at cryptogpus.com, and check its first and last characters in your wallet before sending.
Shipping and delivery
How much is shipping?
Standard insured shipping is free on orders of $999 or more and $29 below that. Express insured shipping is $59. Digital items have no shipping cost.
When will my order ship?
Most orders ship in 2 to 5 days, including built-to-order PCs, AI workstations and graphics cards. In-stock PCs ship in 1 to 2 business days. Digital items and services are delivered to your order page, usually within 24 hours.
Is the parcel discreet?
Yes. Every parcel is insured and sent in an unbranded box. PCs are foam-packed with the graphics card supported, and expensive builds can ship in a wooden crate.
Do you ship internationally?
We ship internationally where carriers and the law allow. Import duties and taxes are paid by the buyer.
How do I track my parcel?
The tracking number is posted to your order page as soon as the parcel ships. No email needed.
Returns and refunds
What is your return policy?
You can return our PC builds and unopened retail products within 30 days. Message us with your order code first so we can send return instructions. Opened retail items are covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
My item arrived damaged or doesn't work.
Message us with your order code and a short description. Items that are dead on arrival are replaced or refunded, and return shipping is on us when an item arrived damaged or defective.
How are refunds paid?
In the same coin you paid with, calculated at your order's US dollar value, to an address you give us. Refunds are normally sent within 5 business days of receiving the return.
Can digital items be refunded?
AI gift subscriptions and gift cards can't be returned once delivered. If we can't deliver within 72 hours of your payment confirming, you get a full refund.
Warranty and support
What warranty do your PCs and workstations have?
Every PC and AI workstation we build has a three-year parts warranty and lifetime technical support. Refurbished components in our builds, such as the RTX 3090s in the CG AI Duo 48, are covered for one year.
What about graphics cards, monitors and other retail products?
They're covered by their manufacturer's warranty, and we help you file the claim.
How do I make a warranty claim?
Message us with your order code and a short description of the problem. Your warranty is tied to the order code, not to your name.
What isn't covered?
Physical damage, liquid damage, unauthorized modifications and normal wear.
Privacy and security
What personal data do you keep?
Only what an order needs: the items, totals and payment details, the shipping name and address for physical orders, and an email or other contact if you choose to give one. Read the privacy policy for the full list.
Can you delete my details?
Yes. After delivery, message us with your order code and ask us to delete your shipping details.
Will you ever ask for my seed phrase?
Never. Hardware wallets ship factory-sealed so you set them up yourself, and no one at our store will ask for a seed phrase, a PIN or remote access to your device.
AI subscriptions and gift cards
How are gift subscriptions delivered?
The official gift link or code is posted to your private order page, usually within 24 hours of your payment confirming. You redeem it on your own account.
Do you need my account login?
No. We never ask for your password or account details. Gifts are redeemed by you, on your own account.
How do I get access to API credits, the coding plan or GPU hours?
After your payment confirms, your key or login and the connection details are posted to your private order page, usually within 24 hours. If we can't deliver within 72 hours, you get a full refund.
Why do some services send me to their own site?
Some services, such as Venice, Proton Lumo and Kagi, accept crypto directly. For those we link you to the provider and you pay them there. We take no commission.
Builds and local AI
Which machine do I need to run AI models locally?
Start from the largest model you want to run. 32B models fit on a single 32GB card, 70B models at 4-bit need 48 to 128GB of memory, and 120B-class mixture-of-experts models need 96GB or more. Compare them in AI workstations.
Which operating system can I choose?
Gaming PCs come with Windows 11 Pro, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS with telemetry off, or no operating system. AI workstations can also ship with Ubuntu, Ollama, llama.cpp and Open WebUI set up.
Can I change the RGB lighting colours?
Yes. Lighting colours can be set to your preference: add a note at checkout.
Can I upgrade a build later?
Yes. Each product page lists the motherboard, power supply and case so you can check room for more storage, memory or a bigger graphics card. Ask us if you're unsure what fits.
