Thanks. Hopefully it won’t come to that, but it’s good to know.

Okay, thanks for your reassuring words. I shall wait some more :)

I’m not impatient, just concerned. If someone from the UK ordered a week later than me, and theirs is in the UK now, then something is a little odd. The COVID situation applies to both of our orders, not just mine.

Yes, mine is showing as “Released by Custom House“, in Khimki on 6th July then nothing.....

Your good news inspired me to check my tracking again. Nope. Still sat there. In fact, it had already been sat there for 2 days when you placed your order. Alarm bells are ringing a little bit now.

Looks like they are having a laugh with mine then, as it was posted on the 3rd, and is still languishing in Russia. It hasn’t budged since the 6th.

I used to be a postie, and have put plenty of cards outlining customs charges to be paid through people’s letterboxes. Looks like I’ll be on the receiving end along with you soon then. Hope the shafting isn’t too severe. When did you place your order?

Yes, from. Bestware.

I’m bracing myself for a good, old-fashioned stinging session courtesy of HM Customs.

Ah, thank you. It is reassuring to know that it is the norm’ then. I have no issue with a lengthy wait, in fact I expected one. It was just the sudden grinding to a halt that made me think it had fallen off the radar, and into someone’s car boot :lol:

Thanks. I’m not bothered about it taking some time, just concerned that the tracking has completely stopped in a worrying fashion. This is the part that is perplexing me. Just wondered if other people had gone through that same tracking pattern.

Hi all. I’ve got a Jetseat on order. Thing is, the tracking number has followed it doing a bit of a merry dance through Russia, until it got stated as, “Released by Customs”, or something similar on the 6th July. Since then it has gone cold and dark, with not a single update. Is this par for the course? I realise that COVID is slowing things down, but even so, it seems odd to have sat for over a week without any movement at all. Probably just me panicking, but would be interested to hear how others have fared.

There was a fair bit of concern over on the AVforums about this. Then an employee of System Active joined the conversation. See post #222. For what it’s worth, I left my order with the German company. https://www.avforums.com/threads/hp-reverb-g2.2282447/page-9

Yes. It looks fantastic. Great preview by MRTV. Pretty much all boxes ticked :)

To be honest, I just ordered my G2 so I can bag one early. I had no expectations of getting decent performance from it, due to my system needing an upgrade. And, like many, I won’t upgrade yet, because I’m waiting for the 3080’s, the Zen 3, and, maybe, DDR5. However, if people are stating that it will still perform well due to being able to lower PD etc, then that is great news. I’m selling my Rift S to fund this, but have a Quest I can use via Link as a standby, just in case my pc is too weak. Can’t wait for it to land :)

Just had word from elsewhere that the UK price has now been revised to £525. Personally, I am going to leave my German order in place, as I don’t want to be at the back of the queue and risk slipping into a 2nd batch. https://systemactive.co.uk/online/basket/

Nor me, also in the UK.

Just ordered one. Thanks for the Germany heads-up folks. I had no idea. I was just waiting it out until the UK declared the doors were open.

Thanks both. Never pre-ordered from overseas before. I think I better bag one before it’s too late.

Very tempted, but slightly hesitant. Is using PayPal a good idea for for payment for a pre-order, what, with it coming from Germany etc. Will I still have some kind of protection if it goes tits?

Regarding the inexplicable explosion..... Did you press F2 to have a peep? Whenever I randomly explode, a quick press of F2 usually reveals an errant plane or jeep embedded in my jacksie :(

Wait till you try the training missions. They are a barrel of laughs too. The main thing I learned from them was to get airborne as fast as you possibly can, before planes and vehicles alike start indiscriminately ramming you on the ground :D

Excellent stuff. Thank you :)

I’ve gone with Andre. Confidence is high :)

That’s the hope :)
