Edited #13 to reflect delivery time on regular Batch #2 orders:
13) Time of Avalon regular order arrival: July 3rd, 2013 11:30 AM CST
Hoping to hear about trade-ins soon.
My regular order Avalons were received in great condition, they were definitely used for mining, as others have stated. They were set on Extreme for the 24-hour burn-in test. One of the units had an orange LED light up, I put it back to Advance for chip frequency and reset cgminer and it appears to be running more stable. I'll probably fiddle around with these settings and other firmware at some point in the future, but for now I'm going to leave them in a stable state as I continue to work at my day job.
I'm going to start looking for a commercial/industrial real estate option soon to get these out of my living quarters.

Received noticed of shipment and tracking # at the same time this morning for my regular order:

Edited the original post to reflect this.
Still no status update or change on trade-in orders.

I still have received no notification on my trade-ins or on my regular batch #2 orders as of this morning. Sorry folks, no update yet.
so you sent in your EQ more than 2 months ago. how much power did it have? perhaps another Avalon ploy to facilitate their apparent secret mining with customer pre-orders
I received DHL Tracking # on 6/17/13 - any word for your order?
Nope, no update.
Original post updated. Delivery has been confirmed. Package was signed for.
Still nothing!?!? Dude, I hope you get good news tomorrow. What order numbers did you have? I'm waiting on a batch 2.2 (#11xx) so I'm certainly won't see mine before you see one of yours.
Original post updated. Delivery has been confirmed. Package was signed for.
Ouch, $200 to ship expedited. What the trade in value?
Remember you also get priority shipping over regular customers (but after developers). So $200 is negligible. 
Original post updated. Icarus devices shipped back to China, expected delivery was Friday, April 19th. Cost was over $200.

I got an email this morning from Avalon regarding trade ins. It contains a snail mail address in Beijing for sending the fpgas.
I meant the Icarus devices, not the Avalons. I'm shipping them back to China. That's the only change, I'll update this thread when that is done. Again, I'm just posting this stuff here so that people can get an idea of the time frame for orders.
Original post updated. The batch #2 email was received. I'm taking off work tomorrow morning to ship the units, expect an update tomorrow morning.

my query if the batch 2 units are meant to be on route to the country on the 4th of march with tracking numbers given out by the 7th of march. why have the icurus people not received an email asking them to send their unit back.
what im guessing is 4th of march they are sending out developer units only. which means these developers should have received tracking numbers by now to receive their units for mid march.
then guys like the OP should receive an email asking them to send the icurus back to them. to then get the ASIC in a fortnights time presumably.
leaving the regular customers waiting 3 weeks more for their unit tracking number?
hmmm, im bookmarking this page.. just to know when the trade in guys get some updates
Quote
Starting from next Monday(4th march), units will be en route to their country of destination and tracking numbers will follow maybe 2~3 days after (it is at this point onward which you can expect an email from us with the tracking information), we expect this process to continue to the 10th of March until all the units have been shipped out, if all is well people will get their units in-hand in the middle of March.
A week before batch #2 is ready to ship, we will make an announcement to those who wish to trade-in their last generation units to sent in their units, once we receive the units a custom order will be made for you to pay the difference depending on what you have trade-in, remember 1 trade-in discount/coupon is allowed per 1 Avalon unit. For clarification the shipping priority is as such:
Developers - e.g. bitcoin core dev and other bitcoin contributor we feel deserve this treatment.
Trade-Ins/Old Customers - your unit will ship soon as we receive the FPGA and you've paid the difference.
Regular Batch #2 Customers - Unfortunately you are not special.
i thought all 300 units of batch one were out and dealt with already in february for them to then release batch 2 order page..A week before batch #2 is ready to ship, we will make an announcement to those who wish to trade-in their last generation units to sent in their units, once we receive the units a custom order will be made for you to pay the difference depending on what you have trade-in, remember 1 trade-in discount/coupon is allowed per 1 Avalon unit.

Still waiting any infos for my order done in some of firsts people in batch 2. I get confirmation by support from yifu but never got a confirmation email promised...At least of I receive someday my 2 units thats ok....
Anyway the delay we got when ordering first units in the batch 2 are already done...delayed and with just one notice...
Regular Batch #2 Customers - Unfortunately you are not special.
lol...Not special yes we know, but does there is any better statement for delay which are added for us without real infos? Customers of batch 2?

I'm primarily doing this for my own benefit, but I did realize that there has not been clear communication to current Icarus holders on how to do our pre-orders. I didn't even know for sure if I needed to order in Batch #2, because the second time it went up, there was no pre-order page. So instead I've at least got the two orders I've presently made, with only a WalletBit confirmation. I am hoping that I will get a notice to ship my Icarus back in shortly (perhaps a few weeks). Once I get that, I will do my shipment. I am also hoping I get a response saying they've received my Icarus and will now be sending the order.
Again, while I'm primarily doing this for my own benefit, I have realized that this will help allay concerns of those who have ordered in Batch #2 without a trade-in. They will at least have an idea of when to expect their order, and given that I live in the Midwest, I believe it is possible that, even with the priority queuing, I will probably be receiving my units around the same time as people on the West Coast that did not do a pre-order will be receiving theirs. Additionally, I have another two Icarus units that I intend to delay upgrading till Batch #3 to possibly do the same thing.
So, all-in-all, I think recording this could benefit all of us doing orders.
