10 weeks have now passed since batch 2 was ordered.
This week Avalon shipped only one 10k batch of chips to zefir, and nobody else has got nothing. If Avalon continues to process only one chip order per week are we getting any chips before winter

I tend to think that avalon had 10k chips lay around and they wanted to show good will by shipping a batch. If they didnt the customers would cry already. So they are silent...
Its the only explaination to me that this single batch is the only shipped.
Well, Zefyr's batch 1 was ordered 16 April. Assuming the wafer run is only booked with the foundry when the chips are ordered from Avalon, then even our batch 1 wafers would have been ordered quite a few weeks after zefir's. And then of course actual lead time might vary, depending on how busy the foundry is when the order is placed (and how busy the packaging house is, and how quick Avalon is at shipping the chips out - and indeed how quick Avalon was to place the order with the foundry in the first place).
It will be interesting to see how long Zefir's next batches take, since they were only ordered a couple of days later. In fact even zefir's batch 7 was ordered before our batch 1 - so does that mean our batch 6 will actually ship before our batch 1? :-)
Im wondering only that zefir's second batch isnt shipped already. I mean he ordered the batches nearly day after day. The delay looks to me like avalon only wanted to show that they ship, but its not their first priority right now. I have one batch 3 miner ordered too but asked for a refund now. I mean those miners are expensive compared to chips + burnin. And they probably will be send nearly at the same time. One good thing that speaks for avalon is that they refund in full and in bitcoin... thats not what others do.
Lets seen when zefir announces his 2. batch is on the way...
