Innosilicon messed up preorder for A4 and A5

[BestSumo]

I preordered 5 A4 September batch and 1 A5 October batch and both are delaying 2+ weeks.

A4's they offered(forced) to upgrade to A4+ and delay shipment from September to October. The kicker is the A4+ is twice as fast and they want me to pay double the price for double the speed all the while the difficulty has cut profits for the A4+ down to regular A4 levels so how could they possibly justify maintaining the same cost per MHash?

Now they are delaying my A5 from October to November. It will NEVER roi if I get it in November. I hope I'm wrong but calculating the difficulty rise from the D3's in November will push ROI to over a year which means never since obviously difficulty will just keep going up during that period.

Anyone else in a similar predicament or have suggestions on what to do?

Those delays are really bad... Hope you can still be profitable at the end.

I ordered A4s (November batch) and was really dissapointed about the communication - it took Inno more than 3 weeks to confirm my wire payment. And still no mail about the upgrade.

As I see it, you have to take the upgrade or your deposit is lost so you have no choice. Since there are so few players on the selling side, they can do what ever they want.

My friends said there were already delay issue with innosilicon before,
