Topic: [AVALON] - I got my ASIC Thread (Batch #2) - page 17. (Read 53538 times)

What a rush you guys (and gals)! The past few days have been wild

I didn't see the email until the wee hours early Friday morning 3AM. Subject line said: Note added to your order; when I opened the msg, I saw what I think was the most beautiful set of numbers I have ever seen - the DHL tracking number for my Feb 2nd Avalon order - I was ecstatic. Quick, I went to the DHL site and there it was - "Shipping Information Received".

Being that it was Friday afternoon in HK, I thought it might get picked up soon and ship over the weekend, getting it on Tues (Monday holiday in US) - NOT! The thing sat there all day long on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I was now starting to wonder if my package had disappeared (taken out the back door, put on the truck but not scanned...). Then finally, late night Sunday / Monday 1AM (EST) - the status changed to "Shipment picked up"- YES! AWESOME, finally. It arrived in Cincinnati, OH on Monday at 10AM. Now the details showed it was in Customs, and it continued to, all day long - actually made me kinda nervous. Then about 2AM on Tuesday, it showed "arrived at sort facility" and departed about 6AM, getting to destination about 3PM (DHL told me they were running late due to holiday the day before). Checked in front of driver and saw no significant damage to box, no rattling inside (btw, the driver said he had no idea what "without prejudice for damages" meant).

Rock solid packaging - sturdy styrofoam and thick cardboard with the invoice tapped over the box seal ($500 + 80 shipping $580 USD).  Some light scuff marks on one side of case but not too much dust (never opened it up). You really get a sense of quality and durability from its thick heavy case and it looks great, no antenna or power cable either. Being a newb to CGMiner it took me a lttle while but got it all setup - now hashin away @ about67GH on BTC Guild/Slush.

Kudos to Avalon! Thank you all

I believe they are shipping beyond the initial 20 units, and in order; my order number was in the low teens (1XXX). I placed my order as a Wordpress user and I paid about 3PM on 2/2 but I never got payment confirmation from Avalon (I called Walletbit and they later emailed stating that he found my order and confirmed it had been received properly by Avalon).

This has to have been the toughest and proudest purchase/investment I have ever made - it really feels good to be part of something that is so powerful and evolutionary in the world today.

I'm from Italy.

congratulas

"made on February 18, 2013. Order status: processing."

Checked seconds ago, who have sth else with 18th?

I am a little jealous now. Hope my order will arrive soon.

I, received batch #2 units this afternoon.
my order no is #40xx and I was paid on Feb.2.

I'm living in Shanghai.

Thanks to ngzhang & yifu and anyone eles in Avalon Team. you are so cool.
We are so proud of you.

The thing is... when you see the carefully packaged unit, all the technique and so on you dont think about hashrate... you think... $39? for this hightech? No way... lets check this... and now it happened for one poor guy...


They will most probably go against Bitfunder. But dont have a chance because they are in china. The customer probably only has a problem when they think he lied about the price too.

spiccioli where are you froem (where did you recive shipment)

No, there is no sender's email in the invoice.

Is there any contact email to avalon?

If they could send me a copy of invoice included with package I could pass it to DHL and authorize them to pay in my name, it would speed up my delivery by 2-3 days, as I know (Poland).

Not months, but 1 month I think (after the 19th of April?). Care to post the date on the confirmation email you got?

As for contacting Avalon: I, and many others, did so and did not get a confirmation email.

So we don't know where we stand. Is our order in the pipeline? Is the address information complete? Is it correct? Or did Walletbit run of with our BTC? We don't even have an order number to talk about, the only information we have is the date, the amount of BTC and the address we paid into.

that was the first thing that crossed my mind, will check regularly for their auction announcements...

I'm waiting for the delivery of my unit right now and my country's Customs sent me a copy of the invoice which is included with the package and it reads 500 USD/unit + 80 USD shipping.

I'm curious too.

Did anyone from happy batch2 coustomers get some bill, invoice or something with Avalon and what is the price on it?

Is it 1500$ like it should be....

Waited approx 2.5 days.

I assure you he did not respond to everyone that requested a confirmation during that time.

Nonsense, I purchased as guest.

A few months back BitSyncom asked all of those who had not received order confirmation emails from Avalon to contact him.  I, and many others, did so and got confirmation emails.
