It's called marketing; Unfortunately, this type of product is unprecedented and grown from an organic movement. That makes these types of products and their development cycle inherently unpredictable due to inexperience of the entrepreneur's and unknown nature of new technology.

You should be so lucky to order and receive one I think - I know I would feel lucky if I were able to purchase and receive one or many units as soon as possible.

Please don't derail my thread though. I am still very interested in everyone's experience with BFL and ordering / recieving / confirming hash rates of ASIC mining units. 

Thanks,
