OVER SEAS! Oculus Rift Dev Kit Arrival Thread

Post by **metulski** » Fri Apr 19, 2013 1:40 am

I wounder why some people in Germany who ordered in December already marked as "arrived". Seems unfair

Post by **cTool** » Fri Apr 19, 2013 3:20 am

Some people are toying and are probably putting false informations on the sheet. I don't think any people that ordered the rift in december have received it

They have ordered them on kickstarter, as unassambled kit, they were sent out as a priority. As it was promised during kickstarter. There is nothing unfair in this situation.

There were only 100 of those available and from memory they went long before December?

Yes, the "unassembled kits" (Although all are now assembled) have been getting priority, but no - apart from only a few cases (like notch from minecraft who got his miid feb), rifts only started getting delivered end of march.

The unassembled kits had long gone before I ordered the first week in August, I wanted to get one but missed out while I foolishly assessed my finances (read that as - began the elaborate process of making it seem, to my wife, like a wise purchase). I'd have thought the priority just lies in the fact they are all low order numbers?
my order number is around 6000, and still "ready" for shipping to the UK.
At least we have the SDK and some useful feedback from others that have got theirs to tide things over for now. The delay means I might actually have something of my own ready to look at by the time it finally turns up :p

Post by **LordJuanlo** » Fri Apr 19, 2013 4:46 am

I ordered mine on first Kickstarter day (August 1st, order nº 14xx) and all unassembled kits were already gone.

Post by **V8Griff** » Fri Apr 19, 2013 8:01 am

Unassembled though is now almost a pre Kickstarter pre-order term as all Rifts are now being sent out assembled.

Post by **Ben** » Fri Apr 19, 2013 6:19 pm

I'm in the UK, order number 12xx, and I just received shipping confirmation from DHL.

Post by **Kilobyte** » Fri Apr 19, 2013 6:23 pm

UK, order no. 540, also just got DHL shipping notification via email.

I may have flailed about a little when I opened it.

Still no tracking number on the Oculus order tracking page, but there is one in the email.

EDIT: Appears to be shipping from CA USA, not a European address. Guess it's not one of the fulfillment centre orders, so looking forward to some nice import taxes.

thanks.

So since the shipping emails are from DHL, does this mean potentially less total delivery cost (import tax, fees etc.) than UPS?

Hoping it'll also mean a different method of paying any fees. Apparently UPS do a COD thing where you have to pay cash/cheque at the door to get the package, which didn't sound like an appealing prospect. Would much prefer paying online.

I filled out the form that's linked at the top of the spreadsheet. Is that the current way of editing it? Seems that very few of the entries in the Form Responses tab have been entered (or just haven't been highlighted green).

Got an email from dhl-usa.com too.

Order 000072 to Germany.

So excited!

Post by **nixarn** » Sat Apr 20, 2013 1:47 am

I got my DHL tracking number as well!! Best news ever =)

I'm order nr. 991 to Finland.

Post by **Callezetter** » Sat Apr 20, 2013 1:57 am

Just read on DHL.com:

"DHL EXPRESS WORLDWIDE (nondoc), your shipments can clear customs while still in the air enabling delivery by the end of the next possible business day, saving you time and money."

I think these delivieries will be fast. I would be surprised if cutoms screwed it up for me.

Post by **nixarn** » Sat Apr 20, 2013 2:40 am

BTW. Probably a minor thing. But on DHL's website I didn't see my company's name on the adress (ordered it privately but to my company's adress as I'm there most often during the day). It's still on the Oculus shipping status page, so I guess it's still somewhere on the package and otherwise DHL will call?

Yay mine seems to be on its way as well. Order#000526 to the Netherlands. Got the e-mail from DHL, but also no change on the oculus order info page yet (who cares?

).

Post by **mm0zct** » Sat Apr 20, 2013 7:12 am

Came here to say that too, order #007 to the UK (I feel like Oculus is Q sending me a new gadget) just got my DHL-US delivery tracking email "sent by ERIK FERNANDEZ of EXPRESS POSTAL OPTIONS" made it sound a bit like a scam email at first though (I had a fake dhl tracking scam email that tried to install a virus when you click the tracking link about a month ago, got way too excited about it being the Rift then) but everything checks out this time

!

if you mean me (Order Nr. 21121) i did not marked it as arrived.
The last time i looked on this page there were huge parts overwritten and apparently maliciously edited.
also there are a few more in my OrderNr range who also have the arrived flag.
Updated my info, waiting for approval.
Others should check their correct status too.

Post by **Kilobyte** » Sat Apr 20, 2013 4:09 pm

So DHL tracking email went out last night, and the tracking has just updated to show:

10. Arrived at Sort Facility EAST MIDLANDS - UK
11. Clearance processing complete at EAST MIDLANDS - UK

...that was quick. Awesome

Edit: looking at the update times, which seem to be adjusted for the time zone they're concerned with, it took about 20 hours from pickup to arrival in the UK.

I am from Leipzig. The worst part of waiting for the rift is to see someone ordered it later is going to get it earlier.

Maybe it is because my last name beginns with a 'Z'

Mine is in Leipzig, go steal it

EDIT: Ah you're too late now, it has been moved to Brussels. Which really doesn't make sense imo, but I guess DHL knows better what routes to take
