Wow. I ordered on the last day too (March 28th). According to my Oculus order history page I'm in the July 25th to August 4th bracket so a week behind that lucky sod. But that's still 6 weeks away.
I think the odd order is going out early, but not the bulk; some reddit guys are saying their is shipping early, but the silent majority is probably getting theirs at the delayed dates.
If Oculus had better PR management, they'd be (heh) UPDATING their order status pages to reflect the catch-up. They're not, which leads me to suspect that either their PR/cusomer support is rubbish, or the backlog isn't sufficiently cleared to warrant those updates to the majority of orders. At least I got the free shipping.
Considering I'm in West Au, it'll probably take a week or so to get to me, depending on delivery koala ground speed, kangaroo freight pouch load capacity and all.

What I saw about a month or two ago was that people were getting process/ship notices after the delay dates even. That seeems to have quelled. But, like you said, those ppl may not be saying anything.
it's possible Oculus is keeping the extended dates to keep from causing another kerfuffle, and it is a false type of PR for them. If they deliver before these new dates, they look better for it even though they're responsible for the delays (I know Oculus is not directly responsible for the decrease in avialable parts, but it is since they are the face of the product....and bc of the way they handleed everything).
this is a very nice surprise considering that i had completely forgotten about it till I got the payment notification lol..anyway, hope you all receive your CV1's very soonThat's great news!! Enjoy the weekend!
As mentioned in a thread of mine a couple of days ago, your local Best Buy (if based on the US) carry them. I walked in and out of a store with one w/o being on a wait list. They're not on display - they're "out back". Call ahead for inventory and the local BB should tell you what's available near you. That's how I found mine. No lines. No wait. No premium pricing. No shipping. Same day pick-up.

I contacted them yesterday, based on people saying they were weeks in advance. I ordered on the 6th Jan.
I received your inquiry about your order status.
I have reviewed your order and the estimated shipping date range is June 13, 2016 to June 23, 2106. This is an estimate and not a guarantee. As your order was placed prior to April 1, 2016, we will be covering shipping and handling charges.
Our system will automatically email you when your order is processed. We are working hard to fulfill orders as quickly as possible.
No! June!!!
Well that's pretty rough. I ordered way before then

My Rift got delivered! It is here!
...
Well, actually, it is 'there', as my neighbour accepted the delivery while I am at work. And I won't be at home this evening to pick it up, as it is "partnership Friday" at my beloved's home!
Soooo close yet so far away! Is it silly to experience the last night longer than the whole month of waiting? How old am I? 6? It's almost as if I've lost the '4' in front of this number!

That sucks. I would keep harping on them with emails as others after you have received their processing completed notices with later dates. I got processed but haven't got a shipping notice yet. It may be an extra step for cross border shipping. I hope they didn't run out of parts again. lol

I know exactly what you mean. When I got my shipping notice last night, I was a little too giddy. I paused and thought, "What the *** is wrong with me? I'm an adult. **** it! I'm an adult and I'm excited!". However, family members couldn't give a rat's behind. Guess I'll live in my own little world, grinning stupidly.

So, I just got to try out the CV1 we have for work, unfortunately it's just the demo stuff. Still better than nothing. WOW! The clarity, positioning, being able to look all around with the grey-out, and the integrated headphones! Just, WOW!
Only disappointment though, I tried to find something where I could gage how bad the lens flaring is (this aspect does make me somewhat nervous that it will be so bad that I will have a difficult time ignoring it), but nothing really seemed to show it. I'll just have to wait until Monday when I get mine....and to test out the integrated microphone with Voice Attack.

Congrats!
I just got my CV1 'shipping soon' warning email.
I ordered March 28, with the website stating shipping on 7/25/2016 - 8/4/2016
Maybe they are getting ahead of the delayed estimates.
What's the general time between "Your Rift is shipping soon" to a tracking ID?
Noticed the preorder Rifts were sold at $649, now if you order one its $599 (USD).

Mine was about 26 hrs (1st notice to shipped). If your in the US it could be less. I am also 5 days to get here being in Canada. My delivery date is next Weds because of week-end. US seems to get them in about a day.
Cool, cheers dogbite.
I'm guessing mine will ship from Hong Kong, with me being in Australia. Landau Island looks a common starting-off point.
I'll expect some movement early in the new week.
Better get my 1080 happening then... ouch the wallet (and wife, given she's an accountant) are not going to like this week!
But, you know, frack it.

Gpt rid of the wife, bought a Rift lol. I have a 980 so I think I will hold off till the prices come down, although that MSI GTX 1080 GamingX does look tempting. Stop me before I spend again.
I am sure the wife will come around once she tries it. Good luck
Haha! I'm still on a 780GTX, so the step up is sorely needed for VR. Even though this card is a good performer in almost everything else at 1920x1200@60.
