Really hope I could have mine by Monday.  I'm a Kickstarter backer, but I'm backer 9798 so I'm one of the last in line.

No kidding.  My email from 2012 says "Thanks to you and
9518
other backers,
Oculus Rift: Step Into the Game
has been successfully funded."  I don't remember what my backer number was but it is right up there too.  FWIW, my order status has not changed yet:

Hmm, KS backer - but I don't know the # ( how do you find out ? ). I got the email on the 15th with an order #, but when I go to Order History, it just says no order found.  😕

Try clicking the order number in your original email from the 15th.

Boop boop boop... If I remember correctly, my backer number is ~8400. I guess that'll teach me for hanging out on the fence.

Back then I didn't even know that Kickstarter existed!!

So it seems Kickstarter Rifts are shipping first now. Does that mean the launch coincides with the March 28th launch and actual people (Kickstarters) receiving Rifts on that date? Then all regular pre-orders will begin shipping March 28th?

Will all the kickstarter backers getting a Rift receive them on Monday?

I wish I knew why the shipping procedures have to be such a big secret. 

This is showing some serious lapses in communication from Oculus customer service. It would take 5 minutes to put up a post outlining what's happening with the shipping currently to answer everyone's questions and put them at ease.

Well with such a volatile order process (meaning no-money down pre-order and you are free to cancel anytime you want) It must be next to impossible to give anything else then a month of shipment...So I guess the only thing that is set in stone are the March Pre-orders and possibly a few April moving to March...

I'm backer #7777 shipping to Finland and it's still says a 'Pre-order'. I think only a part of USA backers had got thair orders processed at Monday. Since then -- no updates
