By the way, I just read the "confirmed" email and it said that the estimated lead time is 6-8 weeks.  Riiiiiiiight.
HAHA, I'm 5 weeks into my Redeemer hilt so far...I'm curious to see how long it takes..... Jaden Korr wrote:
Just like initate sabers all come with switch holes, the thin necks will come with the reflective strip. It's easier to have one stock of parts to grab from than having to keep separate ones for each tier. Similar to how they switched from only drilling one hole for warrior hilts and just putting a cover on the second one a while back.
Thanks for the clarification, Jaden! That is great to know! |

Man I am hoping that their lead times shorten within the next few months since I really want to order a few new sabers in the future.

Well, if you order them now, they'll come sooner than if you order them later. But I do hope that that happens as well. Closing the Etsy shop should start to take effect on the leadtime soon-ish. |

The above post may be subject to editing. A lot of editing.

Issue on my side is that I am trying to be considerate with my money and only spend when the time is right. So while I could order the next saber that I want at this moment, I want to wait for the right time. |

Waiting on a warrior disciple and a champion weathered exalted. Only two days from the 12 week mark on the disciple, but still a few months out on the exhalted. So excited!

Let's see, Thursday, the 12th of May will make 12 weeks. I am a Sith, so maybe I'll get a status change on Friday the 13th.

Let me know when you hit 16 weeks like me. Not a good way to impress first time buyers such as myself. I have no choice but to wait. They already have my money and a refund is not an option for me.

I am in the same boat, not a good way to keep customers. |

I had 2 sabers take 17 weeks (both ordered first week of Jan). I did receive both. I just entered 17 weeks on my Exhalted and I'm anxiously waiting for it to exit the build queue. They will come...oh yes, they will come.
 I just saw my Juggernaut (ordered on 2/7 left Oregon on Sat). Looks like I may be getting it tomorrow!

sepultura510, Serisscweald & HotRod, Appears that there are a few 16Week(+) Survivors (excluding ASP Backers & Lost Order Sufferers of 2015) paddling the same boat. Waiting on an order confirmed January 21. Whilst it's not my first SaberForge order, this was actually placed in an attempt to pacify the wait time with the intention on getting it much sooner than the projected/expected delivery dates of Custom orders placed in December. The confirmed single shipment near June(+/-) ended having scattered deliveries x3 which have since arrived.
The Jan 21 order was when Lead Times were at (an estimate) of 8-10. This immediately changed to 12-14 within my confirmation email which then (over the course of then to now) changed to 6-8, 8-10 & 10-12 respectively. Remain (hopeful) that they will come even if it is eventually. Oh btw, 4Weeks on Pre-shipment now.

My saber officially exists now,and it's making its way to me as we speak, although it will prob take a while to get over to Europe. Anyway I have waited this long I can surely wait a bit longer, it all seems so real now, and that helps alleviate the longing.
I ordered my PS champion on the 26 January and it entered pre-shipment on April 22 and finally it shipped on May 6, just in case someone was keeping count

From what I understand the thin neck hilts are backed up because they had a batch of bad parts and retooled how they construct them. So, HotRod, it's not too surprising to see you hitting 17 (woof) weeks. I'm just hoping I can get all my orders in before the next school year starts so I can do my installs.

My etsy order on the etsy page has switched from pre-shipment to shipped (claiming may 6th) but the usps tracking still only lists it as a tracking number made, and not as any package being picked up. Anyone else ever see that?

Hi Schmots,
If I remember correctly from my order the Magic Word you should be looking for is "ACCEPTED", that means the package has been picked up and is physically moving (usually to the USPS local office and then onward to the sorting facility etc). You can see ACCEPTED listed on December 3rd in this screenshot: Hope this helps, For Tyeth |

Is this different from the thin neck part shortage they had over a month ago? Or is this still part of the same issue? And h2soy, do you know if it's been resolved? Thanks. |

The story
The day after my birthday I ordered my best friend a saber the day was 2/27 hoping to get it by his birthday 5/11 doesn't seem like that's going to happen but that's ok I know he will love it when it does get here the wait goes on Just glad I already have my saber just ready for my dueling partner to get his |
