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?

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!

    Haha woke up this morning, checked my email, saw nothing.
    Checked here 10 minutes later and saw you all talking about emails and felt really disappointed, then checked my again just as it the email came. :lol:

    My levels of impatience are next to none.
    The mail says "You're receiving this email because your order will be advancing to "Processing" status in the next 12 hours."

    It's been 12 hours and it's still at READY Status. :cry:

    I know, I know. This is nothing to worry about, and it'll have probably update by the time I'm done editting this, but like I said, My levels of impatience are next to none. :oops:
