Black Arrow scam?

[fuzznarf]

ok. I ordered a 2000 Ghs unit back in November 2013 for (at the time) promised delivery by Feburary 28, 2014.  As everyone else who ordered from them knows, they delayed shipments by 3 months, with a new promised delivery of April 30, 2014.

It is now May 9th. And shipments haven't even started. So I sent them an email asking about my order. Here is my email. and their response.  You can see by their non-answer that they are clearly not even finished with production. I actually doubt that production has even started. I sent another email asking, and will post that response as well.

My email to them
**************************************
I have not yet received notice of my miner. This previous email said it was to be shipped out April 30. It is now May 8. Please update me of when I should expect to receive my unit.

Thank you.

I followed the link to their 'store'. And it is just a basic landing page.  Under 'products -> Asic Miners' they are selling the same unit (2000Ghs) for 'Batch 2' with a promised delivery of May 15. That is next week. They can't even say where in production Batch one is, but are trying to take people's money for Batch 2 already. Beware ordering anything from BlackArrow.

Latest news.

Oh, I read the latest news.

May 9 - "5. The first lot of X3 cases has been received. (Aluminium alloy)"

It is funny how the complete assembled units were promised to be delivered almost 2 weeks ago now. But they are just getting in cases now?   Not to mention the complete avoidance of my question when they replied to my email.

How can they be promising Batch2 units for the 15th of May, when they haven't even assembled the Batch1 units that were promised February 28..then April 30...

It seems to me they just keep taking people's money, and making empty promises to keep people on the hook.

Wow, what a train wreck. Good luck with your purchase

It's always broken promises with these Pre-Orders

well you have been screwed ( I lost out myself) ,but they may send out gear.

this group buy will get the gear first.  I kept 5 of 12 shares.  so check this thread.

They will get it ahead of you.  I read it and I am thinking they (my little 5 shares and hundreds of others ) will hash by June 1st.

So you may as well check it to see if they ever pay out. If they don't  do that round they will (?) never  (?) do any others.
