Didn't I read something about a demo in December?

Maybe i misread an avalon quote but i thought they would have shown pics or a video by now as they said they would....
It would make even more sense to have the units on a flight out of China on Sunday night and landing in nearby destinations early Monday to get them cleared through customs and out to the local delivery services as soon as possible.
It would make even more sense to have had the units already made and shipped back in December... wait no, November, October! What is your point???
I'd be interesting to track the votes in this poll to whether the voters are customers of Avalon, BFL, bASIC, or any of the above. I'd be a good number of people that said YES are customers, and a good number of people that said NO are not customers.
It will be 9pm in China. In theory it makes sense to start packing Sunday 9pm, work overnight, and have a first shipment ready to ship on Monday at dawn

I guess we'll know soon enough exactly what they mean when they say that they'll be "shipping" in 9 and a half hours.
Don't know how they ship but no place I know of ships on sundays.

Logistics companies operate every day of the week and they're using DHL. The only reason some companies don't ship on weekends is that they only work standard office hours - it's not because courier and logistics companies don't work weekends. Amazon has shipped my orders on the weekend countless times - it's not that unusual.
When the units will actually leave China will depend on how they're handling the customs process. You can arrange pre-authorisation if you're willing to pay for it.

Note that in their other thread here BitSyncom has only claimed they would start shipping when their countdown timer reaches 0. (And yes, I didn't link to BitSyncom's comment)
If you're not #1 on their pre-order list, you can't claim Avalon promised to ship your ASIC tomorrow.

Yep, they've consistently said that the first 300 units would be shipped over a period of about 2 weeks. It's clear that they're not all being shipped tonight because Avalon is putting up a form today for people to choose alternative shipping options.
Given that they have been posting today, though, it would be a massive PR blunder if they didn't ship any units at all tonight - they should be well aware by now of any obstacles to getting those first units shipped later today.
