Question

Shipping no longer delayed? + First Impressions!

I'm putting this in off-topic, since I don't want to get in anybodies way, and I know its mostly due to my own supidity and lack of presence.

I've been avoiding Rift news for a few months while I saved up to get one. I may not be a developer, but I'm a gamer who likes to test things to try to help out that way.
I ordered mine and expected to see it in a month or two, but from what I've seen in the forums, shipping is no longer a big issue? I even saw "Shipping takes 3-5 business days" on the order screen.

So my question is, has the current state of shipping improved or the sales died down enough that shipping only takes a few weeks?
UK order, by the way.

Thanks for taking the time to read!

EDIT
Since a lot of us have shared the experience of waiting for our Rifts to arrive, how about sharing our first impressions as well?

I reckon us lot should start another thread after they've all been delivered for our first time rift experience's, what do you think? :?:



Once your Oculus Arrives, just post how you got on with setting it up, how it handled, what you game/demo you tried first and anything else related!

:D

    Yes, shipping has been vastly improved now and usually just takes a few days for most pl : )

    From 14th to now, it's only been one (maybe two) business days, so perhaps the orders are just being processed.

    I really do hope shipping doesn't take too long though. Getting my rift is just the beginning, I have lots of things I need to test and organise to get it to work in a way I'm comfortable with.
    Plus, I'm really impatient :lol:

    I really hope the delivery is better, just ordered my rift yesterday and it only said "3-5 days for dispatch" in comparison to "dispatched in X months" last year.Anyone know how much time it takes to be delivered to the uk (excluding dispatch time) ?
    Thanks

    I'm UK too. Ordered mine Sunday, which means it counts from yesterday, so I'm guessing ours will be sent around the same time and will arrive around the same time.
    Still on "Ready" status though. Hoping to wake up tomorrow with that changed :D

    How about we all post when we ordered, where we are (vague of course) and then update when anything changes? That should give the rest of us some pretty good idea of where are orders are down the list.

    awesome :D im guessing 1-3 weeks after dispatch if im lucky, though sometimes when ordering from outside the UK, the customs can throw in an extra week for no reason :(

    Hi People

    Ordered yesterday and mine too is on the ready status. However I did contact support earlier as I had read there were shipping delays due to bad weather back on the 7th Feb and was told as long as we are not snowed in there shouldn't be any problems.
    They said shipping is between 3-5 business days so will update accordingly I'm also in the UK :D
    Hope this eases the suspense lol
