[Announcement] Avalon ASIC Development Status [Batch #1]

[Bogart]

One thing is bothering me. If Avalon will ship to me via DHL, this is will be total fail because of reasons, I explained before.

I believe you can request shipping via EMS instead.  Send Yifu an email.

Just did that by PM at this forum and support ticket at support.avalon-asic.com. Hope this will be enough.

aha! http://support.avalon-asic.com/solution/categories/40996/folders/66201/articles/31066-when-are-the-avalon-asics-shipping-

The projected shipping date is Jan 14th, our conservative estimate on our shipping capacity is 300 units in two weeks, this number is set to increase once the process gets more streamlined.

In addition, we have a promise to ship out all of the first 300 units before the end of February 2013.

I still have received no communication from Avalon about this and my paid order is still listed as cancelled.  I'm getting concerned as the shipping date is very near, and I believe there are other customers with the same problem as well.

I'm in the same boat.  I've PM'ed, emailed and opened a support ticket, but haven't received any response.  I'm very disappointed and surprised by Avalon's lack of response.

I'm not sure what that is.  I also am outside of DHL (no service at all).  What I receive items via DHL it goes to a city about 600 miles away.   Then DHL re-ships the original piece of the local mail system to the destination.  I have seen two different carriers used to re-ship packages.

The tracking information comes up and says, "delivery arrangements have been made" as that last item in tracking website.

I looked through your post history and I could not find a reason why DHL can't mail to you.

Have you ever had a failure of DHL to deliver to your location?

As far as customs, you should have less problems with DHL.  I suppose different countries could be different depending upon who is bribed.  But maybe next time DHL has greased the proper palms.  (you should hope)

Ignorant Ramblings

Normally I don't mind your useless posts as much as everyone else, but it wasn't funny the first time you posted that in the other thread, and it's not funny here this time either.

Indeed.

I've never used the ignore button on this forum, for anyone, as I have an ignore button in my head, and occasionally even the worst people say something interesting, but this person is really making me reconsider. Weren't they banned at one point? What happened to that?

@ Mods

Could you Ban MeSarah? I think the sentiment is clear that they provide nothing worth the electrons on the screen.

Or better yet, just Ban them for another 30 days. Make them wait for the next post!

update.

Shipping. We at Avalon understands the some what unreliableness of EMS in certain countries, to address this issue, all existing and future orders will be shipped out via DHL at no additional charge. This will ensure timely delivery of our products.

For Russia DHL is absolutely unacceptable.
1. DHL doesn't deliver the goods to Russia for individuals. The exception is made for some online shops which have the direct contract relations with DHL.
2. For DHL of 30% duty is raised, if cost (including delivery cost) of the goods exceeds 200 euro/month. For EMS this threshold is 1000 euro/month (tax = 0.3 * (cost - threshold)).
3. Procedure of customs cleaning is more difficult for DHL and offen demands services of the customs broker. In case of EMS customs cleaning is strongly simplified.

I understand that EMS can deliver the goods not so quickly, but DHL this bigger evil for Russia.

Please take in account that info, when you will be shipping in Russia.

They already posted earlier today that they'll be putting up a form for people to select alternative shipping options.

Bear in mind that it a lot of countries final delivery is handed off to a local service once the goods have cleared customs and not done by DHL itself.

Any speculation as to whats going to happen on the site when it goes to 0?  Will it just sit there, or do you think it will automatically change the page to something interesting.  Maybe pics of the product or something.
