Title: Yifu Avalon, Bitsyncom Batch #2 not Recieved, no response
Post by: tctsk8r on July 23, 2013, 11:27:39 PM
Hello, I'm a new member here, However, I've recently been making posts regarding Avalon not sending my Batch #2 Asic.  This is growing increasingly frustrating because I may be moving within a month or two and want to be sure I recieve it at the current address.

I have an email from walletbit confirming correct info and they recieved my order:

to me
Hi [tctsk8r],

It appears your order was processed correctly. You will be contacted by Avalon as part of the confirmation process. This is taking longer than expected and many orders have yet to be contacted. Thank you for your patience.

Sincerely,
Adam

bump. This is my friend and SOMEBODY needs to see this. I can't believe avalon are about to ship batch 3 and yet we can't get anyone to help my friend get his batch 2 order.

I'm in the same boat.

Rise a ticket with them at their support site.

Tickets are ignored.

PMs are ignored.

Also, phone calls and emails are ignored.

My lawyer is drafting a letter that will be sent by certified mail to BitSyncom LLC's registered agent in Nevada.  There doesn't seem to be any other way to reach them.

By the way, forum staff, there are enough of these reports to support a scammer tag.

Bumping this again, as it's now looking like my Zefir's batch 1 chip order will be arriving before my friends day 1 Batch 2 order. This is ridiculous I hope bitsyncom or somebody sees this and gets my friend his asic.

Any updates on this?  How many batch #2 people out there have not gotten their machines yet?  Anyone able to reach Yifu?  Do we need to organize and go more public with this?  Open to any suggestions.

Someone else is supposedly in the same boat http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1jbr6q/avalon_took_150_btc_from_me_and_wont_respond/  This is more than just 1 person.

I find it odd that the still ship #3 but not #2.

Did they ever get all of the first batch shipped?

Very odd...
I agree, it makes me seriously wonder if there are any first batchers in the same situation. Honestly I find it odder that they are shipping batches of chips but not #2. The lack of response of any kind from Avalon is downright disrespectful, sent them numerous messages since Febuary trying to be sure this was all good and essentially no reply.
Hopefully someone can get through to him on everybody's behalf.

Avalon has helped us (Fenix) reroute two Batch #2s ASICs after the BAKEWELL scam. We had to do quite a bit of follow up to get a response through, but got a high priority order at the end.

Avalon is NOT shipping the chips. Only one shipment was sent outside China 4 weeks late, which now looks like a PR stunt just to calm down angry customers.

The lack of response of any kind from Avalon is downright disrespectful, sent them numerous messages since Febuary trying to be sure this was all good and essentially no reply.
Hopefully someone can get through to him on everybody's behalf.

Several Avalon chips group buy organizers are treated the same, no response. My group buy organizer is waiting 4380 BTC worth of Avalon chips. Does not warrant any response from Mr. Yifu.

I wish I could say the same.  When I contacted him, he asked for details.  Haven't heard a peep back since I provided them.

You should still easily make ROI if you paid in $$

I recieved it and it is up and running. And sadly I paid in Bitcoin.  all in all, I'm glad I got my device, but I am beyond dissatisfied with avalon as whole because I should have recieved this unit long ago.   I also would like to thank xiangfu, without him I'd probably still be in ASIC limbo.
