Sounds like i should chose DHL for the next batch... though i doubt, because of lack of communication, that i can change EMS from last batches to DHL... i now tend to do it if possible even though its only a slight, felt, advantage...

DHL from Germany -> Belgium sometimes transfer to local postal service as well.
I just got a package this week which came from DHL in Germany, and got switched over to bpost in Belgium.
However, it's the first time I got this, normally it always stays with DHL till the end, maybe it was sent with a cheaper version this time

Regarding EMS... i used it judging from the experiences of avalon miner receivers. If its better to use DHL then ill try to change this.
Personally I trust couriers like DHL or Fedex above EMS - but that's not based on any particular rational evidence, I'll admit - just gut feeling. (And I have *zero* knowledge about shipping to/from countries outside of Western Europe and North America)
EMS is the Express Mail Service - a cooperative owned by national postal services. The normal process would be that the package will be handled by the sending country's postal service, then handed over to the EMS cooperative for internaional shipment, and finally handed over to the national postal service in the destination country.
With a service like DHL you'd normally expect the package would remain with DHL from collection to delivery (although in China, who knows).
Since EMS shipments actually involve three organisations (EMS plus two national postal services) it will depend to a large part on how good (or bad) the national postal services are in sending and receiving countries; so Avalon EMS experiences may well vary widely depending on the country of the recipient.

Regarding the sample chips. The actual status of distribution is:
Batch 1 - 30 samples
3 burnin
3 flyonwall
2 BKKCoins + 4 wished
2 ryepdx
2 allten
2 evilscoop
2 terrahash
2 daemondazz
2 innovina
6 still open because the feedback of groupbuyers still missing
Batch 2 - 30 samples
3 burnin + 1 wished
3 flyonwall
3 BKKCoins
2 ryepdx
2 allten
2 evilscoop
2 terrahash
2 daemondazz
2 innovina
5 still open because the feedback of groupbuyers still missing
3 for use of entitled groupbuyers
When more developers and assemblers are coming and describe what use their project will have for the community and one can see (not absolutely me) that they know what they are talking about (so they dont want a chip for free only), more can be entitled to get a chip. There were already some users in the thread that wrote they want one and one wrote me via pm. Only missing is a description in the thread.
By the way... i will ask the devs if they will need so many chips anyway. Unnecessary many chips dont make sense... so some other dev/assembler can be happy...

Wow, been digging around today to make sure I had some chips in hand when the PCBs came in and you already had us taken care of.
Thank You! Two is good, more would be helpful, but beggars can't be choosers.

Crazy that a company is able to accept $100,000 but give no customer service.
I thought they were not providing any technical support - but hello, no sales communication at all?

ill try to change this.
lol... no bullshit fine print.... good luck

Its a bit strange indeed... they deliver... but not speaking with customers to solve problems is a bit hard...
Considering they are the only *real* asic seller on the market, they can do whatever they want

Its out of your control sebastian. I am sure avalon is aware of it.
I hope so...

Hm... i have read different experiences of receivers of avalon miners with both shipping services. Some found the one is better, some found the other is better. And some said that avalon used DHL even though they wanted EMS.
I now sent an answer to the confirmation email from avalon for the second batch. I think the chance for answer is slim... its poor that the support practically doesnt exist...
You think the chance for an answer is rising when i open a extra thread in custom hardware?

Something is definitely wrong with batch 2. 
This order is 36 position after our batch 2 and its status is already "processing":

Order #10317 made on May 22, 2013. Order status: processing.
Source: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2236233
it seems that way, looks like all other chip order went to this address, and their are worth 70 orders of BTC sitting their!
Code:
1FGAftzSTztFSB8LMwsrdCKTyqGY6zr3sU
but batch2 order went to a different address:
Code:
1ECoeDfK79CNm1Mzx6NMMkZrHVocwNg6Sp
might be their payment system glitch?
The first address is a change address only... the second one is the payment address i should pay too... wait a moment i will make a screenshot of the payment page...

Hm... thanks for telling... i wonder what i can do now... i mean i already tried to write bitsyncom and all... the order is still in my account as On-hold... even though the transaction has 604 confirmations now... Plus... avalon wrote that a payment has to come in in 8 hours. If not the order will be deleted... that didnt happen either...
I really would like to hear something from avalon. I will try now to contact them through every way i find...

The first batch switched in minutes to processing... i guess avalon really is doing it in batches... sending a large batch of chip orders to the foundry... and now the first batch went into..
I can try to contact them but i think its futile. They dont answer. And they wrote that they wont give any support for the chips...

Are we still "on-hold"?
Sorry for asking it every day, but I guess there is no way we check the status ourselves?
I dont know a way to check for yourself unfortunately... i have an alarm with AlertBox, that checks every change on that website, it didnt change... but someone wrote other payments are in the same position... so we only can wait until avalon decides to give the next batch to foundry...
