Re: Black Arrow announces 28nm 100Ghash Bitcoin ASIC from $1.49/Ghash
Yea blackarrow has been really bad letting people know were batches were. First they said batch 1 was closed, and were going into batch 2. Now there saying that batch 1 is open, but hey were shipping your units march 10, instead of February 24. It's pretty pathetic actually, to see this company with a good product, to have such terrible customer service. Instead of just hiring people for 2 dollars an hour, they would rather try and do it themselves, and at the end of the day it's just costing them some serious $ signs
That's not what they said, they repeatedly said batch1 is set for original ship date, batch 2 is march ship date. If you followed this thread the last few days you'd know that so i assume this is a troll post.
Batch 1 is when we get all of the ASICs created.
Batch 1 will be shipped starting Feb 24th 2014. Because of the number of orders, if you buy now, your order will be shipped after March 10th 2014.
This date change is less about what batch you're in and more about when you can expect your product to ship. This date change is done as a courtesy.
We can't ship all orders on Feb 24th. That's just not realistic.
Whats wrong with shipping all batch 1 units in one day
? Source multiple shipping companies and plenty of tractor trailers and should be good to go 
. Only thing thats really stopping me from purchasing atm is the fact I would be stuck with a date that will cause profitability to be hard starting at march 10th. Oh, for the love of Mike....
Anyone, even the likes of Amazon get swamped sometimes. It's a function of number orders versus product available/personnel/facilities.
Yeah I was just being sarcastic/butthurt about it all so I posted that just interested to see what people would say xD. I completly see why it probably couldn't be shipped all in an entire day. But a 14 day gap seems a bit stretched between shipping dates for a normal company in usual circumstances eh? By having a batch ready, does that mean they are all boxed and labeled ready for shipping or does having a batch ready just mean produced units ready for selling(still needs boxing/labeling)?
