Did you buy the Epoch of Etsy as well?

I'll be entering week 12 tomorrow for my main site order. I've chilled a lot since I signed up for the text updates on the USPS tracking number. I don't have to refresh a million times a day, just wait for the updates to arrive.

Etsy order hasn't generated tracking yet, but it's only in week 4. Curious how close together they'll arrive.

The Epoch I purchased off the main site. Did not know SF had an Etsy page until AFTER my purchase =[

Not sure actually, although you should get an email from Etsy once it reaches 'shipped'.

Whenever you get a tracking number, go to the USPS website and track it - on the right side of the page should be the option to get text or email updates with the status change. Given that there's a fair wait right now between 'shipping label created', 'shipping info given to USPS' and actually shipped, it might save you some sanity.

The last saber I ordered has finally hit the queue. Only a few weeks to go!

Yea me neither... Wish I would have done some research before buying from the main site. But I got a saber to take to star wars from US, but really wanted my new Bad Azz Saber from Saber Forge.. lol I know It will come in time...

Still waiting...

After 12 weeks of waiting some days impatiently, some days sanely gone. The saber is being shipped right in time for Halloween.

It's been five of the longest weeks of my life since I ordered my Reborn lol. Definitely getting more and more excited the closer it gets to possibly getting shipped. Can't wait to open that box, review it, and play with the saber until I can't stand anymore lol.

I know it's been crazy with Halloween, TFA, and the Holidays coming up so soon, and I know the ASP launch and the new facilities have taken a toll as well. I see a lot of people complain about the wait time, but I would much rather wait a little longer to know I'm receiving a truly high quality saber.

So I'd like to say thank you to everyone who is working hard to get those sabers out, answer questions, or anything else as quickly as they can. Keep up the good work! And may the Force be with you all!

I wouldn't hold my breath with hopes of your saber getting into your hands by the new year. I made my purchase (nearly $600 in total) back in mid JUN of this year. Yet here I sit 18 weeks later (18 folks) with nothing to show for it. Oh, don't get me wrong, I received renewed hope briefly in mid SEPT when I receive notification that my items would be shipped in "5-10 business days". That was more than a month ago. Now, I didn't take common core math in school or anything, but I'm pretty confident that time frame has come and gone.

I ordered multiple Sabers for myself and family while I was deployed to Afghanistan in the hopes we could open the box and duel with them when I got back on home soil. I understand that TFA and the release of ASP are a big deal and are likely to take up a great deal of focus. However, that does not explain away the inflated delay (more than twice the promised time frame) nor the lack of communication from the customer service email. I have sent 4 emails since the 18th of September and have yet to receive a reply. I was even considering (once the items finally did come in) to have sound added to each and every saber, however, at this rate, I'm pretty confident I wouldn't receive anything back until after Episode IX.

I have been following SaberForge for quite some time and while I've never actually been in the same room with any of their products I STILL feel they are some of the best made in the business. So it pains me to have such an experience with them. I am sure others have shared the same boat as I and I hope they fair better than myself.

There is a lot more I can say, but at this rate I have likely lost anyone who has even bothered to read thus far. If anyone would like to know more I would be happy to go on further. Good luck everyone.
