Avalon batch [2] countdown!

[sneef]

(*side note, most batch 2's can hit 345 MHz no problem, so if you were expecting 66 GH/s you may be pleased to be surprised with 75+ sustained*)

One guy told me he has his running at 80.

Any idea what happens when you take it too far? Does it just lock up? or errors galore? perhaps flames start licking out the sides of it (joking).

Order #29xx made on February 18, 2013. Order status: completed.

What is the transaction number when you paid?

Date: February 18, 2013 06:28:35 PM

I think Avalon ships according to the transaction number.  

just for you (since I've noticed not many have been providing this info) here's mine.

I received mine a few days ago, I expect/hope you will get yours soon!

*NOTE* one thing I noticed and really worried about when I placed my order was that I neglected to add a fee, and I remember my transaction took a very long time to get into the blockchain. (over an hour for my first confirmation)  -- as you can imagine this was quite nerve wracking at the time and I have second guessed myself ever since... but it appears as though it had no effect on the shipping queue. In my case at least, it appears that I was placed in the queue as soon as I hit the button, not when the payment cleared.

Take heart, and may your avalon arrive soon and hash fast like a cheetah! (*side note, most batch 2's can hit 345 MHz no problem, so if you were expecting 66 GH/s you may be pleased to be surprised with 75+ sustained*)

ProfMac, n of 1 here but I don't see that the shipping is by transaction #. My transaction is in the block after shmadz and he has his, and I'm still stuck on processing.

Running at about ~70-75Mh. at 300 MHz. I will overclock it a bit later, depending on the temps.

I am only a few 10s of blocks after him, so I am encouraged.  As for yours, perhaps his was the last one processed before the weekend and you will be processed Monday.  I think we are all trying to match whatever evidence we can think of with reality.  The reason I focus so much on the transaction number is because Avalon officially said that shipping follows payment order.

Seconded, they must have an internal queue, which differs slightly from when the orders were paid.

Several orders between 22xx and 28xx have been confirmed and 1 DHL waybill was given for all of them.

These were Feb 18 orders.

I confirm the same: I have 3 Batch #2 orders all shipped under the same DHL tracking number

So at least they are doing some kind of planning / optimizing when shipping out the orders, not just handling each order as is.

happy happy, joy joy

batch #2 customers just are not important. The units will be shipped eventually, but there selling chips now. I am a batch #2 customer that has been waiting as well.

I guess that is why for a week now the chips are listed as "out of stock"?

[SolarSilver]

Can i ask for assistance from any Batch 2 customer who already had delivery with DHL.

Can you tell me exactly what it was declared as, word for word, from the DHL paperwork.

I assume the chip sales stopped because they are having some difficulties getting the site ready for trade-ins.

I don't see how these 2 events would even be related, you can upgrade parts of the site without effecting all of it.

But mostly as a comment to the OP: how come they are here to scam us out of our money if even their ordering site is down? :-)

[jspielberg]

Indeed... that is a head scratcher.

I guess the most logical explanation is that they have plenty of business on their plate at the moment, and simply they aren't trying to add to their backlog (though they easily could on chip sales).

Still... it does seem odd that they have turned off all sales, when chips are pretty low effort.

[Vagnavs]

maybe kind of a conscious? I'm glad they heard my call, LOL.

Several orders between 22xx and 28xx have been confirmed and 1 DHL waybill was given for all of them.

These were Feb 18 orders.

I got all walletbit confirmations and everything was perfect in the store from day 1 (thank the gods of computing).

Your track is based in the dhl tracking system?

[cypherdoc]

got 2 of my 3 delivered 2d ago Thursday.

My tracking number is a DHL tracking number.
It does not show in the DHL computer tracking system yet.
This is not anything to worry about, if it does not show on Monday then i might be concerned.

Yes it's normal, the forwarder (transport company that takes your package from Beijing to HK) needs a day or two get the packages delivered to the DHL hub in HK. Once it's scanned there, it will show up in the DHL tracking system

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=167726.msg2598470#msg2598470

Right now, your package is in the hands of a psychopath in a white van, so don't worry about it :-)

SolarSilver, i think you are confused about things.

Batch 1 was sent from Shenzhen China to Hong Kong in white vans, this is normal for Shenzhen vendors as you can walk from Shenzhen to Hong Kong and there is some saving to be had from transporting things from Shenzhen to Hong Kong.

Beijing is 2,000 kilometers from Hong Kong (1200 miles).

All the evidence i have seen from Batch 2 says that the boxes will be scanned into the DHL system in Beijing.

While you are probably correct that the boxes are in the hands of a third party shipping company, the idea that anyone would drive 2,000 kilometers across China to get to Hong Kong is unlikely.

Anybody can have a pile of waybills from DHL or any other transport company on their desks. They can package your shipment and provide you with the tracking number BEFORE it is ever taken to a DHL depot, or a third party who will take it to a DHL depot. So there is no reason for anyone to be surprised that the tracking does not show yet, it will not until it is scanned the first time by DHL.

Amen to that, I work in the parcel business and this is exactly right.

I am aware of the distances, I import goods from all over Asia on a montly basis

In both Batch #1 and Batch #2 the packages originate from Beijing and both are handled by the same
company, just a little bit differently to improve tracking

All the evidence i have seen from Batch 2 says that the boxes will be scanned into the DHL system in Beijing.

The first scan will appear this time as:

Arrived at Sort Facility BEIJING & SURROUNDING AREA - CHINA, PEOPLES REPUBLIC    BEIJING & SURROUNDING AREA - CHINA, PEOPLES REPUBLIC      
 
1   Shipment picked up    BEIJING & SURROUNDING AREA - CHINA, PEOPLES REPUBLIC

And then a day later

   Arrived at Sort Facility HONG KONG - HONG KONG    HONG KONG - HONG KONG   

While you are probably correct that the boxes are in the hands of a third party shipping company, the idea that anyone would drive 2,000 kilometers across China to get to Hong Kong is unlikely.

Your packages don't travel from Beijing to the destination direct, they will go through HK. How does it get from Beijing to HK? I pray cargo plane, but I've seen worse ;-)

it's all digitally generated labels these days... They did not do it for Batch #1, they did for Batch #2
