So ... just curious ... 1.5 months later you all do have your batch #1's correct?
... and in case anyone had an uncertainly about why the DHL process is so bad ... Avalon themselves have stated it clearly here:

why we use such a screwed work flow?
1, save shipment cost.
2, if we go to DHL directly, they didn't accept this device, there is PSU and FANs in it, which is contraband. only these agent can send them out by doing some bribery work. if we tell them we are not satisfied, they simply ask us to deal with DHL ourself instead.
fuck
