Interesting reading the point that they don't own or mine on Avalon hardware beyond test units.

Well I dont think they are not doing ANY mining with Avalon ASICs. May they kept back a couple of units. But still, I agree, they are the good people. No evil intentions. Unlike... you know who Undecided

He seems to understand the Bitcoin situation pretty well but I hope these guys do not ruin their reputation by not answering the people who didn't receive their orders.  Techies are notoriously poor at customer service and with these small companies many of the techies do the customer support themselves which is generally a bad idea.  Hopefully the missing batch 1 deliveries can be resolved.  While many of the posts on here of people complaining are ridiculous, the people complaining that interviews are being done while their support tickets are not being answered have a very good point.
I feel myself like a hostage. I want to say more, but forced to keep silence in fear that it will get me in some another "problematic list"... I'm trying to not think about all this things all day, but thoughts keep pushing in head:
"... Is Yifu seen my last ticket/PM/e-mail with shipment details?", "... was order shipped?", "Will Avalon give some track info..." "... Will EMS deliver in two weeks (fastest delivery for my country and living place)... " "...Is unit will not be damaged..." and more more more. Its fucking annoying. I hope Yifu will never get in same situation.
