Ordered five miners with Canaan on Aug 31st. Exchanged emails with steve and lily about timing. They were very helpful. On Aug 15th lily suggested the ditributor would be faster. I placed an order and emailed miner warez that day. On the 18th a label was generated. It shipped on the 19th as five boxes. FedEx says arrival will be on the 22nd. My price was same as canaans, shipping reasonable. I'm in central US and my order number is between 1000 - 1025.
I'm happy with how it has worked out so far.
What was your Canaan order number?
It was in the 9070's, and is still listed as on hold. Like others I placed an order with distributor but kept my canaan order open.
