Thanks for info guys!
Well it looks like my saber hasn't left Portland for the third day now. Oh well! I guess you could say the holiday season has definitely shaken everyone up including USPS. 
Lol, at least your's is ready. I'm only 2 weeks into my order wait. Ran out of Saber Review vids and have beaten Kotor and Kotor 2 twice now each. |

Ran out of Saber Review vids and have beaten Kotor and Kotor 2 twice now each. It's best to just completely ignore everything related to sabers for now mate. I completely forgot about my saber (because off studying and tests) until it finally got into the build que and it definitely helps a lot. Don't know how useful my tip is seeing how we're two weeks away from The Force Awakens What did you order? |

This might not help but if you' want a distraction while we all wait, you could make some memes or write a story for Knytiri's Something New thread or Fan Gallery.That's what I did to pass the time. If you are more artistic then you could post Saber themed artwork like NeBosa has (very good it is too!)
I learnt to embrace the madness through the research I did. (Though some people think I'm mad anyway!) 12w Green, Blk Reptile Wrap, Sabercore Veridium, Standard finish Champion Disciple with 32inch blade. BTW! |

And by out of Saber vids, I mean all sabers. I've looked at all the Saberforge Reviews, Ultrasaber reviews, Hampton's handcrafted lightsabers, Vader's Vault, Genesis, Makotosabers, etc. Twice |

I would advise people to be cautious with this, depending on where they live. Sadly, in some cities in the US people have been known to steal packages off of doorsteps, especially at this time of year. It has become a huge problem in some places, especially if you live in a high traffic areas and/or won't be home for several hours after the mail usually arrives. I know the wait is a long ride (just shy of week 12 for me) but better to have to wait an extra day or two and pick it up at the post office, than to come home to find someone has walked off with your package. Everyone can obviously make their own call but for as much money as I spent, I'm not gonna risk it as it is well in excess of the insurance offered by the USPS (which is only between $50 and $100 unless extra amounts are paid for).
Does the mail man or woman deliver it to you personally? And if so, do they leave a note or something if you're not available to pick it up? Mine was supposed to arrive last Friday
Adding on to Malik, you can also advise USPS to leave the package on your front doorstep or a side entrance or porch. |

Yeah USPS in my area has terrible tracking. One day a shipment is no where near being delivered to me and suddenly it appears that afternoon!

Hi
Stupid question but, is that normal? 5. Sep ---> Confirmed 24. Nov ---> Shipped 27. Nov ---> USPS pre-shipping 7. Dec ---> USPS still pre-shipping? Or is the USPS tracking garbage? |

I ordered a day after you on the 6th of Sept. Looks like we're in the same batch queue as well! And yes...seems about right. I don't expect it to go into transit for another week or so....REALLY hoping it'll get here by the premiere...fingers crossed. |

Directly from the FAQ: When its time has come, you will receive a shipping notice, and be provided the tracking number. However--this does not mean your saber has actually SHIPPED. It has just been added to the build que. It will take approx. 5 - 10 Business Days for the saber to be completed. Once the batch has been built, they will ship out. This can happen any day of the week. So yes I think this is normal and I'd expect it will be scanned again by usps at pickup when the batch of sabers yours is with is completed. Also (this is just me guessing so correct me if im wrong) the 5-10 Business days may be more or less depending on any number of changes they are making to try and improve the process and get everyones stuff to them the best they can. I have foynd USPS tracking is terrible expecially during holiday months. |
