Hi
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. The 5-10 business days have been extended to 15-20 business days due to the movie and holidays. Even so there are those who have gone past that mark. (The few I know who ordered from etsy that is.) I myself have received my long coupler, 26" blade and 2 staff extensions that were placed a month and change after my saber orders (which were 4 days apart). In the end patience is your strongest ally. Having said that, the quality of the items I received wears that patience down thinly based on the attention to detail they have. If they're any indication of the quality and craftsmanship then the wait should pay off greatly. |

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 have foynd USPS tracking is terrible expecially during holiday months. Also right now many orders are well outside that 5-10 days ( I am at 20 business days since I got my shipped notice). I know Esty still says 5-10 days under the shipping policies, which will be misleading for customers who don't make it to there forums and find out that those times are currently longer. That said even when it is not the holidays USPS tracking sucks, and often does not give much info--not in the same way UPS or Fed EX does. |

22 days into the build queue here.
Thankfully these are not my first sabers, so I'm chill about it. |

Guys, I want you all to know that the journey together, as brothers, of waiting for our sabers was an honor. We've cried, waited, cheered, shouted, and even shared our pain with each other. At last my wait is over, and my saber has been delivered.
It is amazing and I plan on doing a review soon. You guys are awesome and keep doing what you're doing.

My custom departed PA this morning and seemingly disappeared because I've got no tracking update on it. So either they're sending it on a truck from PA to Texas which will take several more days, or they flew it down here and it never got scanned in. Really fed up with USPS right now. I am tempted to send them an email about it.
On the bright side my Darth Vader Force FX arrived today. It's nice, but a little underwhelming. It's built with a lot of plastic that was scuffed up and warped, the metal is scuffed up, and there's a couple LEDs in the blade that are less bright, and the tip of the blade is screwed up and has black marks on it. Not noticeable at first glance, but noticeable enough to annoy someone like me who is OCD at times. These are mass produced ones so I guess I can't expect perfection so it's still cool for my first lightsaber, and I got it half off for $70 cause I bought the Kylo Ren with it. I think the Kylo Ren might impress me a bit more and will hopefully arrive in better condition. And assuming my Vengeance does arrive at some point, I'm hoping it blows me out of the water. 12 weeks of waiting (I'm counting how long I've been waiting for my Venom) can definitely leave you with a building hype that I'm afraid may leave me disappointed when I actually receive it. So I'm trying to stop being so hyped, lol. As for my Venom, I really hope it comes by next week. Although with USPS's cruddy service lately and SaberForge being backed up, it may be a bit of a stretch. But it's been 31 days since it said shipped, 20 of those days being business days. Remaining optimistic. |

Hang in there man! The last stages are the hardest, but when that thing gets there, and you behold what The Forge has wrought, all of those weeks will fall away and all that is left is that saber!
