I've had 2 from them (Icarus, DevKit), 1 from Hong Kong (a BFL) and 1 from USA (an MMQ) - all EMS, all 4 tracked fine.
What has BFL (KC, Missouri, USA) sent you from Hong Kong? Or is it a test of reader's accuracy?Why would you assume he was sent a BFL product from the manufacturer? Couldn't he have purchased it second hand?
I think I got one of the fastest ones in history ... and that exaggeration could even be true
4.5 days from partial payment to arriving at my door.
It was 'almost' brand new - someone received a shipment of about 10?, by accident (they had cancelled) and sold me one - and let me pay the balance off over about a month (I didn't have enough BTC to buy it up front)
... and no I would never have sent BFL a 2,3,4 month loan - that's why I bought it when I did (May) and not before.
