We owe the Chinese a lot of money. So this is just one way of recouping their funds.
Try, but IIRC Mr. Y.Guo of Bitsyncom is a resident of Brooklyn.

If I had known about all this, I'd have mine sent to one of the chinese people for a couple of months, split the profits and then shipped over to me after the storm had settled 
Same here, nothing yet besides 1st march mail in subject.
I think there is a big Chinese conspiracy here. Yes a couple people have got them. But other than that only the Chinese
Can't wait to read about all the happy people.
Has anyone outside of China gotten a tracking number yet?
any news there?Seems no. Probably the day will be tomorrow. If we get a copy of the invoices which are traveling with packages it will make my day!
anyone else called DHL lately to see if there's anything inbound to their address?

Are you betting against them?
Anyone care to place bets on all this?
I'm worried another one of my bets are going to lose out
What is your latest bet? (I don't gamble)I'm worried another one of my bets are going to lose out
I just copied this from my signature

BFL will Deliver ASIC before bitcoin difficulty reaches 6,500,000
The BTC Mining hashrate will reach 50TH before BFL deliver an ASIC

Starting from next Monday, units will be en route to their country of destination and tracking numbers will follow maybe 2~3 days after (it is at this point onward which you can expect an email from us with the tracking information), we expect this process to continue to the 10th of March until all the units have been shipped out, if all is well people will get their units in-hand in the middle of March.

Developers - e.g. bitcoin core dev and other bitcoin contributor we feel deserve this treatment.
Trade-Ins/Old Customers - your unit will ship soon as we receive the FPGA and you've paid the difference.

Lucky I don't want one, otherwise if I held them to their word they'd have to ship me an Avalon as soon as I sent them one of my Icarus and paid the difference Developers - e.g. bitcoin core dev and other bitcoin contributor we feel deserve this treatment.

You forget the little detail where you have to be able to get an order in first, you know, queuing at the DDOS'd walletbit transaction site with the rest of the plebs 
By the time I get my Avalon 2, I'll make around.. $30.00 a day?
Looks like March will bring huge leaps in difficulty, 250 or so Avalon @ 66 GH/s + what looks like 25 x 80 GH/s pre-assembled units from "PrimeAsic - 80 Ghash/sec Asic Miner"https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=148832.0;all
Oh and ASICminer also putting the rest of their 12 TH/s online
If BFL joins the party in April then the outlook for batch #2 orders is going to take a long time to break even... Too bad batch #1 wasted an entire month by shipping out so late...
This is where power usage will become the critical factor.
