Any news on shipping for international backers?

I'm very glad that Oculus have started shipping out the Rift dev kits to backers in the US. Looking at unboxing videos and reading impressions about the Rift makes me incredibly proud to have backed this, you have truly made an awesome product and I am really impressed about the general quality of both the dev kit and the SDK.

However as far as I know Oculus haven't started to send out the Rift to early international backers yet. It would be really great if you guys at Oculus could tell us the reason for this as well as an estimate when you will start sending dev kits abroad. After what I've understood you've had a pretty strict "first come-first served" policy regarding the shipping so I'm hoping us international backers won't have to wait too long 🙂

For the record the Google doc is messed up. Cells have been shifted around so that they don't line up any more. My order number has been moved to a line with unassembled tier and "Arrived". I wish.

But my unit (#1XX) has shipped from the US, so here's hoping DHL shows up with it today or tomorrow.

You can PM me, I will fix your Order Status.
You can use the Form also anytime on the google doc, I will see that too.


(and yes "JD" from Australia, you can PM or add to the doc.) I saw your erased post, and it seems you used the form too, I have added your status) ^_^

Big gap !

So I don't know who you are ^_^


I added it now. But finding the form was kind of tricky. (for some reason the only way I could get to it was to copy the cell at the top of the document and deleting everything but the URL, then paste that in a new window.)
I don't know if I'm just having bad luck with it, or something... But anyway...

Also, I'm not a Sir, but I'll let that slide. It is the internet after all... 😄

Does everyone get a DHL email as soon as it ships or is it something you need to sign up for? Also does anyone have the shippers reference number? It should allow me to track if any oculus shipments have hit Australia yet.

All right that's what you are then, "not a Sir", I have added you to the list.

So how should I call you : "Not a Sir" or "KuraIthys" ^_^
I am confused now you know...
haha ^_*

XD.

It really shouldn't be that complicated... 😛
(Or is it? ... XD)

But, it mostly doesn't matter anyway.
So... Whatever... :roll:

For some reason I usually end up with people calling me Kura...
But I mainly think that's because they're lazy... 😄

Now if you'll excuse me, I really should get some sleep at some point...

I was hoping, as a very early Australian preorder (20062), that my status would also have changed to processing along with the other Aussies. But no. 😞 My status is still "Ready". So I guess it won't be sent in a batch with all the Australian kickstarters. 😞

My shipping to Australia was $45. So there have been at least 3 different shipping costs to Australia depending on when you ordered.

I'm pretty sure it was just $45 for everyone at the start before they figured out how much it would actually cost to ship to everywhere.

I'm 8120 and I'm still "Ready". Next batch for us I guess.
