If anyone doesn't like Bitsyncom's terms, it looks like contrary to their original messaging, they are allowing full refunds.
You just need to create a support ticket and put "REFUND" as the type of the ticket.
So far as I know... no one has taken them up on this offer even though some folks have been complaining about the shipment delays for months.
If you are feeling like you need to hedge... you can order the batch of chips and hope they arrive together.
If they don't arrive in your "window" of opportunity, submit a refund request.
Worst case, they either give back your BTC, or they escalate your order.... my guess would be the former.
I guess worst worst case is they don't ship your chips and they don't refund your BTC... but I don't think they could withstand the negative fallout of that option.
Just make sure to order from a wallet you control and can validate.
Has anyone ever requested and got back a refund from Avalon?
we opened refunding option for batch #3 order since
it is quite delayed, batch 2 is shipping and should be finished shipping in the end of the month, then batch #3 is to start right after, we are not refunding chip orders
since the coins gets sold and is used to pay for chip order at foundry, canceling is not really possible.
but essentially we put in order for chips every week, by early July the chips that were ordered when we opened orders should be out the door by then.
Yifu... that is provably untrue. Not a single coin paid into the wallet that received payment for chip orders (782.1 BTC per 10,000 chips) has been moved, let alone sold.
I want to give you the benefit of the doubt here, but the information suggests otherwise.
