Topic: [Announcement] Avalon ASIC Batch #1 Ships - page 14. (Read 238884 times)

I can tell you that I was one of the very first batch one, part two orders. The second order was placed when there was about half remaining (it was maybe when it said qty was 50 or so remaining). However, I know that a lot of people got orders in the 700's and 800's, but I think that these were orders made after the initial batch postings (where they identified all the non-paying buyers). My guess is that batch one, part two order numbers probably don't exceed 200000450. (This is assuming their numbering was progressive, but I'd say it was because of the time frame and units sold before my first and second order).

Any idea how high the first batch order numbers go?

that are good news, congratulations! my order number is 7xx. hope, i will get it in march.
btw, batch #2 should ship since march 5th 

Just called DHL and got my tracking number this morning! I've called every day this week. Told the super nice lady in customer service that I had a package being shipped to me from Hong Kong but wasn't able to get ahold of the shipper. She asked for my zip code, last name, address, and then told me she confirmed a shipment. The airbill for the shipment was created about five hours before this post. She told me the package has not actually been picked up by DHL yet in Hong Kong, but at least the airbill has been created (I interpreted this as the shipment just made it to Hong Kong from Avalon's original location and the intermediary shipper is about to make the handoff to DHL. They are probably creating airbills for all packages they got yesterday or today and will ship them off in bulk.)

If that was good news, here's the better news (for everyone waiting anxiously): This is for order 200000348. Second round of batch one orders. And it's on it's way. I'm in Missouri in the United States, and DHL told me that barring interruptions from customs, the package would have a two day shipment time. (So if it managed to ship today, it would be here Tuesday and I imagine I'm one of the further shipping points.)

Now I will specify that I have another order coming (200000402) that was from a little later in the same batch, and there does not appear to be a shipment for this one yet. But at least we know the order 300's are close to being in the air! I'll keep following up on the second order and announce if I'm able to get a tracking number for it.


Keep your hope up!

Bitsyncom, can you please provide us with a status update of shipment? How many orders have been shipped, how many to go?
What is the status of batch #2? 4 or 6 modules, and any improvements? Shipping has begun ;-)

And suddenly at the chinese border:

The Avalon folk have said they will stop sending out shipping #s because it takes too much time/resources to do.

They don't get it upon shipping because they ship from China-->Hong Kong to an intermediary who then re-ships it abroad. The tracking number is assigned in Hong Kong and would take too much manual effort to cross-reference the lists and send an email.

The Avaloners also said they will not provide individual updates any more to people who ask about their order#s in forum threads/emails/posts.

Basically: Please be patient. Your order is important to them. Your product will be shipped in the order in which it was received. Calls may be recorded for quality assurance and training purposes. Objects in mirror are closer than they appear. Please hang up, and try your call again. This is a recording.

Has anyone received tracking info by email at all? The few people I've seen here, have received it by calling DHL, or after the fact on delivery.

I have an order number below #200000150 and I have sweet fuck all from anyone.

No tracking number and DHL has nothing coming my way.

At this rate BFL will have there asics mining before I get mine.

Where is my early order Avalon??

To people that already received their units - what were they declared as? And what was the value they declared for each unit?

Did you get a tracking number that you looked up to find that? What order number are you?

yes DHL: unit arrived before tracking information...

Just got info that my unit was held at custom, they will mine a couple of coins first   

BitSyncom, please give info on order # 200000618

Well, im surprised myself to see such weather with temp. below -10, strong wind and snow in this time of year.


There is always someone with more resources. In the beginning of GPU times someone with access to hardware, with a lots of space and powerful electricity lines was having much better opportunity. Some people have even more than one avalon already running by now... Im not jealous, but have some feeling like this life party is moving away little by little. It's better just forget about 'potential lost profit', as it doesn't make sense to even think about it.
Regret is a waste of time and mind resources.

I know its hard but chill out man... dont stress about money until you have some.

I am not jealous, but my excitement is dwindling each day that passes without receiving my Avalon ASICS.

It is amazing you guys are receiving your miners. I'm a little jealous because of the easy money you guys are getting. You can actually buy a cheap car in a few months with the money you get. Or pay multiple mortgage payments. That's why I'm jealous, not because you are making good money but because I cannot! I come on the forums once in a while to get news on BFL shipments and stuff and it's just another day of nothing I guess. Oh well, what can you do. Sometimes people just don't back the right horse. It happens.

Well I'm 200000300 I ordered at the very end of batch 1 part 1. Before batch 1 part 2. So I assume there are ~200 units in front of me and ~100 after me. I haven't heard anything. Never had an answer to a pm or my ticket to keep EMS shipping.

I am in the same boat - No word from the Avalon folks regarding my order  - #200000750

Nothing in DHL's system coming my way
