If I get a refund now,after waiting 11 months,they will ship something & I'll be even MORE pissed off.I'll take my chances for a little longer.......BUT I will NOT buy anymore devices from BFL ever!!
I think that's the BFL dilema in a nutshell.
- If I cancel now I may get my money back, but if I cancel and they ship then I've given them an interest free loan.
- If I cancel now, get my money back, and BFL goes under I'll feel like the king of the world.
- BFL may well ship, but your order may arrive in several months time when Avalon will make any profit months if not years away. Remember, BFL still has not begun mass production so we don't know what problems they're yet to encounter. Stated mass production is 400 units per day. In two weeks BFL (by all accounts) has not shipped 400 units total.
Fortunately BFL have been smart, and as part of the 'yeah, I still want my order' confirmation they made everyone go through they offered a refund. Didn't take it? Too late to ask for your money back later on.
The one thing none of us know is how fast BFL is burning money with their chip prototypes, wafer sacrifices (to save a few days out of many months), board revisions and new cases.
