Oh come on, that's too practical. We should be able to come up with a better conspiracy theory than that.

The simplest explanation is usually the correct one, in this case the pick list. But who doesn't like a realistic conspiracy theory?

Djust orderd 2 SP10 units with Spoondoolies Tech, always waiting after BA. After my X3 units...

[Stedsm]

Its because it causes problems with the shipping program and additional time spent shipping every day, I do enjoy the conspiracy theories tho.

So you don't want to sell any more units because you have spend time shipping them

I'm guessing his shipping program assumes all products are in stock. He likely has to skip over/manually remove these orders from his daily pick list.

My conspiracy theory? MS knows about an impending delay and BA won't make their late May/early June shipping date. He doesn't want to deal with another round of people complaining and/or asking for a refund.

That would certainly make sence for the X-3 but for X-1s they said they "will" start shipping Monday rather than the "should" or "probably" as before..

Yes, but BA probably has such a large backlog of orders from batches 1 & 2 that it's going to take a few weeks to manufacture and ship them before they can get to batch 3.

[Adrians__]

Anyone had any communication with BA?

I would like to get my Batch #1 order refunded, but it seems impossible to get a hold of these guys.

[Adrians__]

That kind of sucks.

I have Batch #1, waited forever. I don´t even want that damn box anymore.

[5craziest]

They're not going to refund u as they are 'in production' 

[5craziest]

They're not going to refund u as they are 'in production' 

That's not what my order status says!  Status = Processed, order 1##1

I know, but that's what they've been telling people who inquire  about refunds

All orders that have been paid for say that,the next change will be "shipped" or "fulfilled" not much chance of a refund from BA now,they made that clear earlier,best thing to do is receive the miner and sell it when you get it. It would probably be much quicker than trying to get a refund

[Adrians__]

I did contact them 2 months ago about a refund, haven´t heard shit.

Now that BTC is on the rise, its much harder for them to refund to who ever paid in bitcoin.

The first e-mail I got from Black Arrow was in late November confirming they received my money and that my order would be dispatched on the 24th of  February 2014.

The second e-mail I got was in December and it wished me a merry Christmas.

The third and last e-mail I got was in January and stated that my order would be dispatched on the 30th of April 2014.

Happy New Year

Question: Why are still waiting for further correspondence?

[jedimstr]

Welcome back PG, I take it your exile is done then?

[btcminer84]

Please be patient. They will start shipping next week. 

[y_boonstra]

Please be patient. They will start shipping next week. 

i'll believe it when somebody posts a shipping confirmation.

Does anyone know who ordered Minion chips?  They should have tracking codes or the chips themselves by now?

how long before they offer the assembly?

ask him

[ninjaboon]

Looks promising. Here's hoping next week I will at long last have a hashing x-1.

Well - hopefully 2 as 2:1 compensation still seems more than in order at this point :-)

Thank you for the update.

my order still does not have a confirmed hosting option.
I cannot mine in my location.
Hope BA ships out faster.
