As for the status of the remaining 3 batches: order page still displays that shipping is prepared, but not that they are shipped. Whatever that means  Undecided


That is the longest "12 hours" shipping schedule.  (Then again we are in bitcoin time. Two weeks is about 2 months so 12 hours is about 2 days)

It might be that the batches already are on the way. The last time i got sample chips i got the tracking code and 5 minutes later the postman ringed on my door... Smiley

Zefir,

What happened to batch 2? Were those chips all shipped out? Could you give ship dates?

You missed this post (for B2 you need to scroll down), so yes, chips were shipped August 24th and according to tracking were all delivered.

BTW: from those list of 66 processed orders, only ~15% paid their S&H so far. It would be fair, if at least those who got their chips / boards reimburse me those expenses I had as described here.

I have chips with batch #3. I will pay shipping and Customs costs once I get boards in my hands. Is that ok?

Yes, that's exactly the way to go.

Hi all

Would somebody sell his bitburner Order?
I have 30 chips that have to be assembled. I would like a BB XX and a X with international Express delivery (ch).

Please PM offers.

Thanks

Mine hasn't arrived yet, but I will send you S&H once it does. I did get notification that it is in my state, finally. Took a couple weeks to get through customs.

Just an FYI, maybe there are others in the same boat as me, not actually having their chips in-hand yet.

I think what Zefir means is that only 15% of those who's chips have actually arrived, ie batches 1 & 2. Which is pretty poor really. (of course this doesn't incl you as you say you are in a later batch).

There may be some users who are waiting to pay S&H after they get their boards in hand from an assembler but my understanding is that S&H is when Zefir ships their batch of chips out. C'mon people...

Read more carefully... I was part of that batch 2 that shipped out, hence why my chips are in my state now. Just was trying to let Zefir know that just because his parcel service is reporting delivered doesn't mean it is in customers' hands yet. I assume it just means it has been accepted by the receiving nation's customs, thus it is out of international parcel post's hands.

I will give them maximum volt and overclock with watercooling. I need to break even. After ROI they really can go up in holy smoke.

True. In fact, the crazy part is, to get break even, I guess you should ramp to the absolute maximum. Even if they loose 80% of their hardware life this way, it is the only way to make sure.

If it breaks after Break even, who cares... Cheesy

Right, I always told to pay S&H only after you have your boards / chips in hand, to prevent refunding them in cases we now had. Therefore, the 15% were in relation to what has been shipped out - not to the total amount of orders. But it became better meanwhile, number is already at 30%+ Smiley

It looks like all remaining chips will be delivered next week. Then I'll provide a list of payments due and hope to close this chapter soon.


Prepare your mining environment, miners (hint: especially getting the efficient PSU of your choice in time sometimes turns out to be difficult).

Thanks for the reply Zefir, your services have been above board.

     It looks like I will get my bitburners after all, will be a pleasure to overclock them until they burn up.  I shall send you S&H when they arrive and add a trust rating.  Avalon is on my permanent blacklist.

Cheers.

I couldn't say it better myself. It's ironic right after Avalon suggests everyone refund that the chips magically ship!  Roll Eyes

FWIW, Burnin's hardware is excellent (I have 2 bitburners from zefir batch 1), so I'll look forward to getting it. Also looking to see what he ends up with for bitfury boards!

Thanks for all the work on this Zefir!

Update: Remaining Batches ship within 12h

I was notified today that the remaining 3 batches will ship within 12h, which essentially means they left Avalon HQ and are in the hands of logistic services.

Since the refund queue only reached ~2500 chips by now, I was not able to request another batch refund - now it is not possible any more. Pending refunds can therefore not be served, please do not request for further refunds.

Not sure if you are happy or disappointed by this update, but nevertheless: please double check and ensure that you have entered and locked your shipping destination for the remaining orders. If you did not, your chips will be kept back and you waste precious time of maximum potential mining income.

my situation:

2 paid orders for bitburner XX at burnin
40 paid avalon chips at batch 5 and 8

and now...

no avalon chips
and no bitburner XX

what is avalon do not deliver chips ? how long should we wait for the 1st gen chips ?
what if burnin dicides to set a time limit for the order excecution and no chips are delivered ?

i vote for a compensation from avalon.
i accept avalon chip 2nd generation if them are 100% compatible to 1st generation chips !

it is time for avalon to move on !
quickly !

If only we knew the probablity that (and when! and if ever) Avalon will send chips for another batches...
I am batch 7 and I decided to wait. (I still want assembled ASIC miner at burnin even if it will very probably be below ROI.)
But what will happen if Avalon do not deliver at all? (And it will refund zefir.) Will in that case there still be space for refunds from zefir in the future?

Please pay S&H only for the orders already delivered.

I already paid S&H for my batch 3 chips.  Hopeless optimist, I know.  I presume that will be refunded with my chip refund?

Were there shipping costs for burnin as target? I did forgot about this point already...

See OP:
I'm a batch 3 person and just waiting it out. S&H shouldn't be paid in advance right? I will certainly pay whatever I'm supposed to for S&H once needed. Thanks.

That's correct. Please pay S&H only for the orders already delivered.
