So my chips from Zefir which have been with you for over a 10 days now have not been even sent to production?

Guess what buddy, it's not only your chips.
There are plenty of people waiting for their remaining boards to be shipped, including me.
You are free to take your business elsewhere if you are not satisfied with the service provided.

Sincerely,
Go cry somewhere else.

I know other peoples chips are there as well, asshole.  It's not crying when my problem is completely legitimate. I just voiced my discontent because we were promised a board production capacity of, and I quote burnin:

"Timescale:
Usual Processing time for on order: 5 to 10 Days after receiving the customers chips.
Production capability ~1000 modules per week.
"

Did he overestimate his production capability? Probably, but then he shouldn't have promised something he couldn't even meet even 50% on. I have heard barely a peep from burnin, and only received half-assed responses to a couple of the several emails I have sent him since August. Did he overwhelm himself? Probably, but, it shouldn't be at our expense, HE is the one who claimed to be able to meet the demand. I very much applaud him for his time and effort, and I doubt he is making much money on this project, but that is a risk he took, as is the risk I (and everyone else here) took, to give him money to pay for a service he claimed to be ready to do.

Granted hes busy building them, and I very much commend him for his time and effort into this, but between the Avalon chip debacle, the delays with burnin's production, and then the fact that it has to be shipped internationally to me (and many more of us), we'll be lucky to have paperweights by the end of October, given that difficulty is increasing 20-30% every 10 days. Problem is, I already have a sunk cost of 240 chips from zefir, and the fact that burnins production rate is significantly slower than originally claimed is incredibly frustrating.

If me voicing my very much valid concern is 'crying' to you, then feel free to hit the ignore button. That's what it's there for right?
