It could be in the hands of Canadian Customs. I understand they have been intercepting a lot of shipments lately. Here is an example of a shipment I sent to a Canadian eBay customer on 22-April that still has not arrived: http://www.canadapost.ca/cpotools/apps/track/personal/findByTrackNumber?trackingNumber=LZ412134221USIn my case it was a cheap item, so I'm shipping the customer a replacement and hoping it makes it. |

Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.

And the worst part is when the customer calls Canada Post, they will tell him there is NOTHING they can do.
It will stay in Customs until it is released. If he calls Canada Customs they will tell him to call Canada Post.
UPS/Fedex/DHL is better.
So what is UPS/Fedex/DHL able to do that Canada Post is not? |

They have a private broker who processes the packages through customs for them. Consequently they will have better real-time stats regarding the status of your package. |

It doesn't matter if you send a support ticket or email Yifu. He won't respond. Before I got my Avalon, I attempted both multiple times and got no response. |

Here's the link to the support site: http://support.avalon-asic.com/support/login, but as tripper22 said, no one seems to actually be at the other end reading the tickets. |

Would you mind posting where you opened your support ticket exactly? I have tickets opened 4 month and 3 weeks ago, both are in 'being processed' state ever since. Maybe this mess is all a horrible mistake and most of us just used the wrong support forum address  |

Agreed is best to used DHL or Fedex, kind of expensive but hey you get your item pretty fast, maybe in only a week time.

Does anyone in Canada who received their order remember if it was shipped DHL Express, DHL Global or DHL Global Forwarding? According the DHL guy I spoke with on the phone yesterday, there are different divisions of DHL, each with different tracking numbers. Of course, if Avalon would give me a tracking number I could avoid all of this... |

Yes. They clear packages before they put them on their planes/trucks destined to Canada. When they arrive, they are already cleared. Ready for delivery. USPS works with Canada Post. A Crown corporation  Enough said. UPS/Fedex/DHL has a "special" relationship with Canada Customs. They clear packages electronically. Well, 95+% of them. I'm sure they use scanners, so don't get any ideas. So it sounds like it's not possible that my order is stuck at customs, because it would be shipped via DHL. BitSyncom, help! Being an engineer, I put my faith and money into Avalon... |

Avalon have a heart and sort the man out with his mining rig. He supported you when you needed funding now it's your turn.
