VR Cover/AboutFace Shipping Time?

Hey guys. I ordered a VR Cover a while back (Jan 6) and it has yet to arrive. Just out of curiosity, can someone else who owns a cover share the time they waited from order to delivery? I'm starting to get worried that mine hasn't received any updates for so long. My USPS tracking number doesn't even work (the site says it cannot locate the info) and I was planning to have the covers for a public demo I'm hosting on Feb 25th.

As a side note, has anyone received their AboutFace yet? How does it compare with the feel of VR Cover? Does one work better than another?

Thanks!

I think one of the owners (username VRCover) is on the forum from time to time. You might PM him. It took mine a while to get to the USA from Thailand, but it was worth it.

Thanks for the reply! You reminded me that I should probably mention I'm in VA, USA 😄

Yeah. Mine took a long time too. It also took a long time to show up in the system. Especially USPS. I think it got one update with DHL (Germany) and then it didn't go into the USPS system until it was basically delivered.

That is pretty much what happened to me. Plus, mine was opened and inspected in customs.

No worries you ll get the covers before that. Please contact us at team@vrcover.com if you have any questions.

DHL here in Thailand had some major screw ups in the last weeks and we are going to stock the VR Covers in local distribution centers in the US and Europe starting from next month to avoid this and provide much better shipping speed.

@vrcover That's great to hear!

Thanks for all of the replies, guys! I was starting to get worried that my package had been lost somewhere along the way 😄

Mine took about the 5 weeks they quoted.

Mine was almost 6 weeks... My wife could have sown one in 6 minutes.... Don't get me wrong they make the Rift feel much better, but the fit is not that great. I considered getting some for my Gear VR, but I think I might just DIY something that fits better. IMO they should have used some sort of thin elastic or velcro to make them fit better.

Get your missus to sew some elastic on them and resell them for a profit
