I think you misunderstood my question. Can you see the progress of the package on the DHL website or did it go from waybill created to delivered? I have a tracking number but it hasn't moved or been picked up in 3 days.

Hey Tripper,

Did you end up getting your units yet?

Not yet. My miner is still in Hong Kong.

I'm in Canada.

Avalon Received: March 21
Breakeven (USD): March 24
Breakeven (BTC): 75% there as of this post. Estimated BTC breakeven will be April 12th which accounts for the expected difficulty jump to ~7.8M tomorrow.

Oh sorry, yes I did misunderstand your question. Yes I can see the progress of the package. Hope this helps in some way.

allinvain:

On your Avalon shipment destined to Canada, what was the update "Location" on first package scan when reaching the Americas?  Was it a US city or Canadian?

I'm curious if they're landing in a city on the west coast first like Vancouver, or some U.S. hub of theirs before coming to Canada.

Thanks.

I would imagine it all depends on where the package is destined to go. I bet they have multiple sorting facilities/hubs. For me it says "Arrived at Sort Facility CINCINNATI HUB - USA" So it's hitting USA first. I do not know if they even have a sorting hub in Canada.

Making Sense of Things
 I wonder if there is some sort of issue with Canadian customs versus US and other countries.  I am wondering about the turnout in South American countries and Eastern Europe as well.  Hope you receive your units in a timely manner, will be following your posts.

At first I thought I did not, but apparently ngzhang e-mailed me the DHL tracking number but sadly it ended up being flagged by gmail as spam (go figure) so I did not notice it until much much longer after.

So those of you who are waiting please check your spam boxes and mail filters..you just may have something from the avalon team.



allinvain,

May I ask if you could please check something on the DHL tracking number for your received Avalon shipment?-- How many days between the first "shipment information received" event and the next tracking event (presumably package pick-up)?

3 days.

allinvain, did it show any tracking progress or did it go from waybill created to delivered? Thanks.

Well, like I said, I did not have the tracking # until AFTER I got the unit, so I wasn't able to follow the package on its journey.

Have you tried to contact the Avalon team, check your spam folder, call DHL or Loomis Express( the company which will deliver your unit!).

I dont to stress you.... but at this point ... most likely your package has been lost (mishandled)

The only thing can help you is Yifu gives you details info of the shipment, pray that he bought insurance for it.

Its not uncommon when they use HK forwarder.

My relative used import goods from wholesaler in China thro DHL.

I forgot to mention earlier but I just received my batch 1 Avalon yesterday. So chalk one up for Canada.

Congratulations. What was your order Number? Did you have to pay duties to DHL? Did DHL call you before delivering?

Thank you.

order # 200000333

not sure if that's one of the very first or not...order was placed Oct 12 2012

I did have to pay $50.91 to DHL, well specifically to Loomis Express as they were the company that did the actual delivery. I believe DHL hands off all packages intended for Canada to Loomis Express.

No, nobody called me before delivery. They just showed up. Unfortunately I was not home when they attempted the first delivery so I had to go and pick it up myself from one of their local warehouses which belonged to yet another company (Medex Shipping or something like that). Quite a hassle but hey in the end it's worth it. For batch 2 I chose EMS.

Did you ever get a tracking number?
Also how many days did it take from the time of shipping to when it showed up at the door.

Thanks

ALGORY.io Crowdsale starts on 8/12/2017
1 of 2 delivered... left HK on Friday, showed up Tuesday late afternoon. Customs/Duty was $43

order # was under 200, but my units had been held back due to a shipping problem.  Sad

From the looks of things this unit was in use for awhile, or run in a very dusty environment as cables in airflow had a pretty good buildup of fine dust..

but bottom line: I have it, it works! Smiley

 Y E S !

The bad news with batch 2 is that the Avalon team said they need a break before they start working on or shipping it (batch 2 units).


That is bad news. Or at least, unfortunate news. Still better than the "news" coming from the other camp...

The "good" news is that with the track record of the Avalon team, the term "a break" means a week or two, whereas with the track record of the "other" team, the term "a break" would mean 4-6 weeks, and at the end of 6 weeks, another 4 to 6 weeks... repeat indefinitely.

 Cheesy Oh sick burn on BFL!

Yeah but all that wait will be worthwhile because the BFL chips are powered by magic! They will be able to hash all the bitcoins!

Now back to the serious business of bitcoins, I'd say that they deserve the break.
