mine's up and running. usa.
Thank you everyone. I have added confirmed units to the 1st post. If you want to confirm your unit here, please post below.
As stated in the title. Can people please post below as they get their Avalon Mark I this week. I assume we they should be hitting doorsteps this week. Give us any feedback on the unit as well. Pictures and Videos encouraged.
Not exactly "this week" as the OP requested but one month later...I got my shipment, Europe, Brussels

It does kind of look as if they were mining until a couple days ago so they could make as much much as possible before shipping them...
Vitalik Buterin: How did the shipping process go? When do you expect customers to receive the boxes?
Yifu Guo: We underestimated the shipping cost by like $80 per unit and ran into some issues with customs, so we are already in the red from shipping costs this round and later than we planned. As for when they will arrive, depends on where the customers are, but I think 2 weeks or so.

Shipping charges for a box that size with DHL is relatively expensive.
True, but a very short-sighted view. A day or two of mining will pay back any extra carrier charges. Hell, I'd fly to China and bring it back myself and come out ahead.
I don't see how noone here has received one yet...
I have a package here from DHL, shipped on 2/22 from Shenzhen, arrived today.

Just a thought, the only way i see this happening is if the packages were not shipped by DHL and instead by another courier. i.e EMS, China/HK/SG Post,etc. Shipping charges for a box that size with DHL is relatively expensive.

leiyplane, thanks for info. I just wanted to specify that you in same order queue as all others. And that info is make me think even more delays...
BitSyncom, your explanation is highly needed. Give some info on shipping status, cos there is about 4 days to deadline.
