Oh well. Part of the fun is dealing with uncertainty. I'm a happy camper. Let Yifu ship, I suspect he's doing the best he can.. the shipping company maybe fucked it up.
Bitsyncom what went wrong with the first batch shipping and how are you planning to improve the #2 and #3 batch shipping 
Problem is following:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/somebody-is-trying-to-steal-batch-1-avalon-shippments-from-dhl-163795
Yifu doesn't give tracking numbers to people. So nobody knows if the packages is shipped or not. Unless he, or virtually anybody, calls DHL and gives his personal information (for example found somewhere on the web). Then he will get the tracking number, and will be able to change the destination address, should he (or virtually anybody) decide that Avalon should go somewhere else.
I, too, would like to know this. I dropped most of my BTC on batch 3. Sure, that's a risk I'm taking, but after reading a bit of the forums I think the lack of updates on orders and particularly the lack of tracking numbers is worrying especially at the prices of these miners. Maybe if they didn't use a proxy shipper they'd have less issues?
Honestly, if they just made sure that everyone got a tracking number when their unit was shipped and they were fully insured, then we'd probably see a lot less issues. People would know where their unit was and wouldn't have to call DHL daily not knowing if its been shipped or not, or when it's arriving. We wouldn't see someone trying to steal it by changing the shipping address because you'd be monitoring the tracking number. And you'd know when it was coming so you could expect to sign for it. Frankly, I don't see what's wrong with this approach (even very small dollar value items get a tracking number anymore, and this is a device that practically prints money! If it gets delayed in shipping, the ROI could be severely impacted or made impossible, and that seems particularly important after the choice to price it as they did) and I sincerely urge BitSyncom to give out tracking numbers when the Avalon ships.
Now, I do understand that potentially some addresses were incorrect. Some posters say that's not true. I won't choose sides, although again, if a tracking number was given on shipment this would solve that issue too.
And, just to throw this out there, I think you guys are doing pretty good - otherwise I wouldn't have ordered my batch 3. Props for getting the first ASIC out there. I just think the shipping process can be better and lots of problems can be solved very easily for everyone.

I'm interested in knowing this, but he probably won't respond..
