Ordering Issues

DNS - Due to some unexpected issues, we understand a lot of people are unable to place orders, to quickly address the issue we have removed 100 units from the pre-order website to relaunch as a second wave of pre-orders in case you are currently unable to load the website. The second-wave date will be announced shortly.

Wire Transfers - We are currently overwhelmed with keeping the site operational, once the order have calm down a bit we will begin the process the wire transfers, once you have received the appropriate information for the wire transfer you have 4 days to complete said wire until the order is canceled.

So even if you did not get a chance to order one in the second wave there is still a possibility somebody will not pay up and complete the order.

I think it's safe to remove this line:

"A full refund will happen if not all of the 300 pre-orders are filled within 2 weeks, ( Oct. 8th, 2012 )"

:-)

Aaaaannnnddddd, it's gone. 

[cedivad]

There are 111 left, not 11.

Also I did 2 orders and deleted one, so there are 112 left

Wire Transfers - What do you mean by 4 days?

To get money in your account or to get a proof of transfer - Swift? For instance if i have to make "fast wire transfer" i will have to spent almost 100 USD just for the bank fees. Can this be avoided?
Keep in mind even though transfers happen over "Wire" during weekends nothing has been  transfered at all

You clearly don't understand how chinese banks operate.

How can that solve the issue? What if another networking issue hits the 2nd wave?

I would have much preferred to pay for my order 4 days ago when I first e-mailed you. Why can the people who have already showed interest not reserve units? This seems a little unfair, as the number of units that I wanted have been factored into your plans, only for them to be purchased by somebody else.

[arij]

I have also emailed you when the announcement was made and am currently unable to access the store. I hope there will still be one unit reserved for me.

[Isokivi]

Unable to order here too, I would like you to hold one for me untill the issue is resolved.

[Bitbird]

@ngzhang

Could I verify the order with you before send payment? Thanks!

[Berni]

Me the same, we had contact by Mail about how many Avalon i want and now sitting here since three hours.
I think its not fair.

Please reserve three units for me.

It works. You can see the Avalon product, but you can't order it right now.

yup. Same here.

I had some dns issues and solved it with:

sudo su

echo "208.113.151.247 shop.avalon-asic.com" >> /etc/hosts



windows users - google "windows hosts file" and edit it with notepad

Really? VIP customers get to order 43 units through a separate, unannounced channel?
