I got mine in the US via DHL "Express Worldwide" (WPX).

Same for Europe

Quote
DHL doesn't deliver in the US on Sat or Sun.

But you can go to a UPS depot and pick up your package on Saturday usually (but you'll need a tracking number to tell them which one you want of course. Most likely they will have called you first)

I just received my Avalon! I didn't get a tracking number in advance, and just yesterday afternoon DHL said they didn't see anything coming my way. So don't assume it's not on the way if DHL doesn't find it in the system.
what name is mentioned on your waybill? In my case it was not my company (as instructed during the order) but only my personal name

Did they search for the right keyword?

It could be that DHL just sucks, there is a reason why I always use a competitor ;-)

Yeah but weekend is coming at least two more days for me. I called them twice today and nothing

I received my units from DHL and I never got an email ahead with tracking

But as stated earlier, you can call them up and they can look in their system if you have packages headed your way
I have not got an email too - is calling DHL also possible in countries like D A CH?

All speculation, we could come out with all kinds of far fetched ideas all day.  Bottom-line, we wait, we watch and March 10th is the Batch deadline so lets send good thoughts that he has been working hard to meet that deadline and then on to Batch #2.

The final assembly looks very simple. I could make 10 an hour if all the parts and such were ready to go.

No you could not. Too many screws would require more than 6min per Avalon.

Tell you what, as soon as I receive my units, I invite you to my house and give you 2 hours to practice. If you can assemble one in less than 6min, you win 25 BTC. If not, you give me 25 BTC. Deal? That would be a faster way for me to win 25 BTC rather than waiting to solve a block Cheesy

Even with 20 minutes, to assemble one Avalon is not a easy thing.

Assembling the board and loading software and testing could take longer. Who knows how the QA goes. Do they IR every heatsink and board? How long is the burn in/testing phase, etc.


I feel that nghzang is the only one who is doing it Sad He  works too much and not beeping online almost 5 days now.  It is very sad because he had a lot of knowledge and skills and they are wasted assembling boxes.

This is what i think is happening now...
I don't think so... Why not taking a few workers for like 100€/month? Afraid that they will stole the units?
Because that is his style he always wants things to be perfect and he is doing it because he wants to

Time to check again?

this waiting is even worst than waiting bASIC refund...
what is killing me is the silence but let us hope that no news are good news. Besides i really do need to have the invoice because of the custom procedures and silense about invoices is very bad...
Just a side question for EU customers - how are you going to deal with customs not having the invoice upfront? It can bring a lot of complication and additional expenses/delays because of that in my country.

 Most likely will pay customs + vat, no more, no less
Most likely if the name in the invoice is wrong it can be treated as double purpose crypto  equipment and big shit can happen

Who knows, they could label the thing a wireless router or custom PC and sail it right through customs if they had E marking.

In my past experience, a small PC shop with 5 workers assembling standard PC, the maximum number of pieces they can dispatch is about 20 per day, so I guess the delivery will well extend beyond March

Some buyers would also like to prefer not revealing that they've got one, so watch the blockchain.

Some, sure, but not all.  Where are the devices?

Did the Avalon crew confirm that they are shipping to North America using DHL?

If so, you can call them and see if you have a shipment coming at 1-855-DHL-SHIP (1-855-345-7447).

DHL doesn't have any shipments for me yet. Sad I know it's early, but what the hell.
