I ordered in batch 1 wave 1, about 1 hour after they first went on sale.
I can't even login to the webstore to check on my order any more. The link from the order confirmation email 404s.

I'm hoping for good news tomorrow, but preparing for bad news, or worse, no news at all.
If I were to speculate, I'd say that maybe they had severe yield problems with the first wafer(s) that called for a respin.
If you will recall, the plan was at first to produce a prototype on a MPW in late Decemner, and then to produce full wafers, and to ship in early March. This plan was changed, and they instead went directly to full wafer production.
So, if the first set of wafers didn't really work out, they would need to try again with a new set. Yifu had mentioned that the project was already in the red, so it fits that they needed to take batch 2 orders to fund the respin.
It's a risky strategy. I hope it works (if it's true).

By March 1st all 300 units in batch #1 shipped. March 5th starts shipment of Batch #2
Source: http://launch.avalon-asics.com/
Batch Size: 300 Units
Shipping Time: Jan 20th – March 1st, 2013
Batch Size: 600 Units
Shipping Time: March 5th – April 5th, 2013
However, with this letter I think many people where expecting to hear word about their orders by now. Notably

Also IF it is true that DHL can confirm your shipment by simply calling General Customer Service 1-800-CALL DHL (1-800-225-5345) you would presume that Monday the 4th you should have information about your package.

This means that you will not hear from us regarding your order until the day prior of it being loaded onto a plane heading to your country of destination.

Beliefs and facts are different. He has up until March 5th for all Batch #1 to ship. I suggest we just wait it out then hold his feet to the fire for answers once that deadlines passes.
Why March 5th? I think this is the last post about batch #1 shipping
- batch #1 will finish shipping by end of Feb, 2013 as originally stated when this project first started back in September.
I read some posts from him that state March 5th as the Batch #1 shipping range. I have seen others dates mention as well from various sources.
The avalon ASIC store still says that the units will be shipped before the first of March.
I guess that we will receive an update tomorrow saying that everything was shipped and that they don't have the tracking.

YIFU said avalons will arrive in ~2weeks. So just wait 2 weeks
He said that 45 days ago, 2 weeks later 1 single unit arrived.Lets not forget about Chinese New Year.
I don't believe the CNY story about not being able to ship half of the batch before that. As someone already pointed out, some of their Chinese customers received only 1 unit even if they ordered more.
This only works out if they have production problems.
An update on these problems would be great.
Problems? What problems? China strong.
Where are the units coming from China ?

Somewhere there was a post that claimed Avalon only had a few working units. It's seeming more plausible now. Anyone have a link to that post?
Avalon proved to have a few (<10) working units, here is some help: http://bitcoinmagazine.com/working-avalon-asic-confirmed/The problem is that they don't have the other 290 and since that they don't say what's happening to them, i presume it to be something bad.

Generally customs only comes into play for the receiving country, not the shipper. For it to take this long they didn't ship them individually. They chose to ship them freight or cargo and then reship. That's the only explanation. Assuming they actually shipped them. A handful of people on china claim to have them. And they one guy who ordered several only received one machine and confirmed that anyone else who ordered several also only received a single unit.
What you can export, in what quantities and to where is something for which each country has its own regulations - things can and do get held up in customs in their country of origin (even using a customs broker doesn't guarantee this won't happen, especially with products being exported for the first time).
They already said prior to CNY that they had shipped 53 units in one batch and were waiting to learn whether those units had made it out of China before CNY. It would be silly to ship more units by the same route/method before knowing the fate of those 53.
Yifu has made very clear in past posts that they are hoping for people to become Avalon re-sellers, which could make the shipping process much easier for future batches.
I agree that Yifu needs to provide an update on this, but comparisons to other products for which the customs issues were solved long ago are pretty meaningless (hell, even things which should have no customs issues whatsoever randomly get held up, no matter which carrier you use).
Yes except there are people in china who have ordered 10, who have only received one unit.
@OP, I don't know.
I hope so, just so that BFL suckers can start mining at an even higher difficulty.
