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 🙂

fschulze: did you get a notifcation mail before? Was it still in processing or already in shipping?
I'm 32xx, so I guess it takes a bit more here.

I got a notification from DHL USA via mail when it was sent out and the tracking page was updated every few hours. The order page still says processing and has no tracking link.

Damn, just a few minutes of Tuscany and I already have the first symptoms of motion sickness. Good that I have work to do. I hope I will be able to get my VR legs in time.

DHL sends the VAT surcharge as a bill a long time after the parcel is received.

I don't think any country can afford to miss out on this taxation any longer.
"It's like Homeworld in first person." Disable Aero and vSync for a completely simulator sickness free experience with 2xHz FPS. Keep the config utility open for tracking to work.

I've worked night and should really be sleeping, but #1XX is out for delivery according to the DHL tracking page. Need to find something amusing to keep me awake. It's DHL, so they will probably lie about no one being at home and force me to come get it, but I'm not going to give them a valid excuse.

EDIT: And there we go, latest delivery update: "Recipient refused delivery". *sigh*

Hi All,

My Rift just arrived 😄 . Order number 1319. I'm in the UK (Hertfordshire), it was shipped on Friday with DHL. No mention of any additional tax/charges that I have noticed yet. The DHL tracking page was updated regularly but the Oculus Order Info page still says: 'Processing - Your order is being processed for shipping.'

Does anyone know if the Asia shipment has actually been sent out yet? I see some people in Europe are starting to receive the new shipment. Perhaps our Lords and Masters could clue us in? ^_^

Hi guys/girls

Order 55xx. Shipping to Pakistan. Changed to processing sometime in the last two weeks. I am probably the only backer from here. 😄
