Iano, I don't suppose you are waiting on a venom or viper, are you? I just found out today that SF is sold out of grenade v groove sections until the end of March. That may have something to do with it but if that were the case, they probably would have emailed you.
Subzer0, as confusing as it is, shipped doesn't mean they have sent your hilt. It just means that they have generated a shipping label and tracking number. But yeah, 5-10 business days till shipping. If you're like most of us, you'll be tracking your package every day. You can tell when it ACTUALLY ships because your tracking number will work. Until your order gets dropped at the post office, your tracking number will give some kind of error message. |

You're probaby right Karjo, there more than likely is a valid reason why. But I'm not privy to that information so it's harder to accept it haha
Im not sure what way Etsy works cause I ordered from their website Oh Cookster believe me, I wanted to! Ha I've got my wish list down below there in my signature haha the only thing that stopped was that I lost my job and can't afford one haha really a shame too because I desperately want the Exile and Silver Knight, and can't afford either. Supposedly the Exile isn't doing too well either so I probably won't be owning that. |

see i was wondering this the other day, do they have all the parts for 100 sabers? cause if they do and the saber doesnt sell now you could always ask in future for the remaining ones.
Its probably a case of they make enough to cover orders but hey, i can live in hope lol |

Nope it changes to shipped when they begin working on it because that's when they create the shipping label for it, then it'll ship out 5-10 working days later.
They definitely weren't working on my order subzero, it's still not being worked on ha ha They must just have a policy of not merging orders or something, it's not a huge deal for me anyway. Yeah I just emailed them there asking if they could give me any updates. Hopefully, man! Hopefully! So hard to be patient after 9 weeks haha I don't think I could make it that long haha. Good luck with your e-mail, and you'll have to post a review once you get it! |

Can't wait to get my first saber!

They probably have a one time trial contract with the place that machines the hilt for them, so that if say 54 people buy it, then they only get 54 hilts made for them and then don't do another run of that hilt.
Hopefully the sales pick up or they try again with another run of them in a few months. Well I don't have a choice in waiting Karjo haha I'll be ordering from Etsy in future though, this long wait business is not for me ha I definitely will post a review. Toying with the idea of doing a video review too but I've never done anything like that so I'm still not sure if I'll do one. |

Even if they don't sell all 100 by their deadline, they will most likely keep them on etsy till they're all gone. Then they'll be done. Wouldn't make any sense to stop selling them before they run out.

So they do just make the 100 up front then and sell them til they're gone Miraluka? I thought they would've just ordered the same amount that was bought.
Hopefully they stay up for a while then if that's the case ! |

If I understood it correctly, SF machines their own parts. Meaning it wouldn't matter how many are bought initially. Etsy could be used as a 'liimited' shop; When they're sold out there it's back to custom orders unless the first run wasn't succesful.
I'm actually intrigued by the amount of SF hilt buyers, through here and Etsy, seeing as 100 units per hilt would be quite a high amount per hilt style. |

I could've sworn I read on here that they get their hilts made somewhere else, then they do everything that needs to be done to them
