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!

:D

    Just look at all these crying emoticons :cry:


    I have to wonder though, how can one of us have our shipped without the others if they send them out in batches?

    "Internets" say processing usually takes 2-3 days, and in extreme cases up to 2 weeks. Given that we all got the "processing" status at the same time (yesterday), we can shipping expect either by tomorrow or the day after that

    I'm thinking it's going to be next week now I was really hoping it would be here tomorrow, oh well waited for 20 years another few days shouldn't matter :(
