Boy am I glad I asked for and got a refund, now having money to spend to buy BTC directly.
I'll consider mining again, but only when ASICs can be bought with next day delivery.

Here is a theory that people will soon realize is true:
If you can order a mining device immediately (i.e. not pre-order) you will never make ROI on it.
If companies already had these devices and they were profitable, they'd mine with them, not sell them. If they sell them, they will charge so much that they won't be profitable. If they charged so little such that they were profitable, everyone would buy them and difficulty would rise so that they quickly became unprofitable.
