Oculus Rift order will be processing for shipment soon.
- Thread starter fransoos
- Start date
My reply copied from the other thread:
I got my order processed email just before midnight and the shipping email was received the afternoon of the following day, which was yesterday (Friday). Mine should be here on Tuesday - I feel like a kid at Christmas

You're lucky if you're going to get it so far ahead of your target delivery window. Mine was end of this month.

Yesterday I got my notification that it is shipping soon .
I have been told by a friend, it will be the Goto device for ED. I currently use the Vive and I am happy with it. He also has both and says ED looks so much better in the Rift.
I am looking forward to this. I love the vive and I can't play ED without VR now that I don't get ill any more, but a little clearer would be nice.
I f they managed to Ship the Vive before the weekend, then I might have it by the end of this week (I am In Aus)

Great, @BillD - we'll have a race! Looks like we're in the same shipping batch.
I'm in Perth, got my email yesterday too.
Most accounts I've seen indicate 2-3 days from the "shipping soon" email to actual processing of the order. Oculus give 2-3 business days to allow people to fix payment details and address etc.
Next we'll get the "Order processed" email. At that point you get the FedEx tracking ID, and you can track it worldwide then.
Shipping will probably start in Hong Kong (many Rifts start in Lantau Island there, must be the nearest FedEx warehouse/sorting centre).
I think here in Au FedEx hands it off to StarTrack couriers for the delivery leg... so we may lose tracking there for the actual delivery (not sure if FedEx ID will work on StarTrack's website. Could always call them and ask, but by that time it'll only be a day or two away.
I'd assume nothing happens over the weekend, so expect to see a start to shipping maybe Tuesday, Wed?

They do work Saturday in the US. Mine left Kentucky this morn. Ups got within 85 miles of Detroit/Windsor by 1:00pm, scanned it in there, then I guess he headed back down the I75 home. It is great that Oculus did all their pre-customs stuff, so they don't get hung up there for more than a day.
If this is correct (2-3 days from the shipping soon email) then I need to arrange some leave from work........
....got my shipping soon email yesterday morning and once I know the date of delivery, I want to spend a lot of time getting things running smoothly.........
Nosh
They seem to be running about 24 hrs between processing and shipping emails. They do ship Sat if the processing is complete. Not Sunday though, UPS doesn't ship Sun. If you got the "finished processing- shipping soon email, you should expect it will likely ship tomorrow (North America). You can track UPS all the way and if you register with MyUPS you can change delivery instructions on the fly.
Woohoo Monday night here and just got the Fedex Shipping notification.
BillD, what was your estimated shipping date? What country are you in? I got "shipping soon" email, but nothing yet on actual shipping.

Which email do you mean? The "Your Order Update" email (first one) or the "Your Oculus Rift sales invoice" email (2nd one)?
I didn't actually get a shipping email with any tracking info in it. In the email with the subject "Your Oculus Rift sales invoice" I had to click on the "your order page" link which then took me to the website and from there I found a link that took me to the delivery company website, in my case UPS, which showed me the tracking details. I then had to sign up to delivery notifications. Not sure if this is the same for everybody.
