Topic: President of Walletbit confirms Avalon does not ship fairly (Read 3036 times)

Not true. EMS is shipping worldwide. For delivering around China it is SF-Express.

well hopefully now they know dhl is much better than ems. EMS is only for shipping in China.

As long from 10 events 3 its going  to your home, its all good, right?

Like I said, DHL can deliver anything, except batteries, one box would be enough to test that "route".

And their "unorthodox" delivery process is quite simple. Ship things to South China, pass the border, ship from Hong Kong, the main reason they do this is the COST of the delivery being much lower from there.

To do a test of 100 events, I do 10 events. Seems crystal clear, what more can I say ?
I don't think DHL is the issue, maybe it's the route before DHL gets into the picture.

And yes, like I suggested in the other thread longer thicker screws and nuts would prevent the boards to get lose from the case. The packaging is ok.

We are talking about different things I think testing of the Units themselves or testing the shipping of the units?

Another damaged batch #1:

I read that post from ngzhang too, but this is not the issue here.

The testing is to prevent this from happening:

This was quite obviously the reply to the last "Hello?" message I sent.


Walletbit knows the payment order and can easily verify that to date, those who have paid first are not those who have received their machines.

You yourself say that "Avalon is shipping units with some unknown pattern". That is going back on their promise to their customers and, under a pretty universal definition, an unfair way to distribute their product. Ergo, "President of Walletbit confirms Avalon does not ship fairly".

Their shipping 'channels' are a little unorthodox. This is China we're talking about and those machines are classed as contraband - bribes must be given.... unless you want to pay the real amount for shipping/taxes/import duties???

They dont need to ship three packages to test if DHL can deliver them, dhl can deliver anything, its not about routes, where are the other people who got tracking numbers? whic one of your units went out not going through Hong Kong?

They just needed more screws securing each module and better packaging, for that one box is enough.

I don't think you understand my remark.
If I would need to test a new shipment route for 600 orders of various size, I would do 20 shipments of various size and that's exactly what they did.

There is still some missing correspondence you have to fill in.

The above quoted text, for example, is missing from your redacted emails.

-------------------

Second, pardon me, but your conclusion that Avalon is "ignoring" wallet bit sounds like it isn't supported in your emails. As far as I have read, Wallet bit only comes to a generalized conclusion out of thin air. They don't even make any remark in the email of trying to contact Avalon.

They only "suppose" they [Avalon] may be shipping out of order.

This is why I asked you for your email correspondence. Since your conclusion seems like a forced one. I think it is only fair to say that Avalon is shipping units with some unknown pattern. But to extend that and also say they Ignored WalletBit (The Payment Processors emails) is disingenuous and probably overreaching as a conclusion.

I apologize if this hit you, I agreed 100%! 20 Shipments is a better test.
 I myself have 3 units order, split between 3 different people.

But as you confirmed, in your shipment they used three boxes right? Others got 3 machines in the same day too,  all could get one and wait the other two and still be happy. But now you guys with unbeliavable hashing power are squeezing the bitcoins from people without a single one.

The purpose of it all was supposed to protect the network and right now there are less people 'protecting the network' just because a "random" pick was made, I dont remeber paying a lottery ticket here.

20 shipments is a better test, orders of 1 and more machines ...

If that is a test , why ship 3 units to same guy? 20 costumers getting the machines would be a better test.

At this point I'm more concerned by the fact that my order isn't listed on their site and they do not even recognize my existence.

This, makes perfect sense if they tried to spread the initial test shipment across the whole world rather than take the first 20 orders.

First, I am one of the lucky ones to receive my 2nd/3rd February order. Afaik, Avalon said they would do a 20 order trial shipment and I am one of them. I saw some mention they are now also shipping the remainder of that part of batch 2.

So afaik those first 20 shipments are to test their new way of shipment and are not related to moment of payment or moment of order...

(Yes, I know I use afaik a lot, but only Avalon knows for sure...)

All's I know is I really want my ASICs. Avalon, you're killing me!

Here you go. I've only removed my personal details. [Read from bottom - up]

Hi xxx,

I have no way of checking your status in the queue personally. This is entirely up to Avalon and I think they will start giving more information in the coming days.

Regards,
Adam

Thanks a lot.
Does this also include my position in the queue as the first one to pay, or is that up to Avalon?

Hello,

This concerns the Avalon batch #2 order from early February.
I would like to confirm:
1) My shipping address
2) My position in the queue

So that everything goes smoothly once Avalon begins dealing with Batch #2.

1) My shipping address is:

xxx

My phone number is xxx.

2) I was the first customer to send you payment for the order, as can be seen with the block explorer.
xxx
(note that it's the same address used to send you the complete payment later, when this became possible - )
xxx


I have waited with this email until the pressure from the swarm of purchases wears off. I hope you can provide the support I need to complete this transaction quickly and smoothly.

Thanks in advance,

xxx
