We would love to hear about any and all updates to shipping that has to do with Australia. Have you received an email about shipping and live in Australia? If so please let us know here!!!

Thu 24th:
They will go out mostly in order. We are just running a few smaller batches on a per region basis to make sure everything is working good before we automate things.

We'll have more batches to all regions following shortly. Please just relax. Thanks.

Sun 20th:

Yes, we already have stock of DK2 in multiple distribution centers around the world. We are currently waiting for the software to become stable, and then we can immediately start shipping to customers.

Here's hoping we hear something soon.

P.S - Anyone know what city the distribution center is in?

$75 of shipping for that is still a bit extreme though. Seriously, I got an inflatable kayak shipped from the US for about the same cost, and it was a big and heavy (25kg!) package. Anyway, this is nothing that can be changed now. Let's just hope that the process will be much better planned for CV1 (and I'm sure it will be).

Yes, it's about the price charged being out of proportion to the level of service provided. Plenty of companies work with this every day. It is a solved problem, with many different approaches that are well understood. We aren't talking about a Kickstarter, but a company at the top of their field. It's not too much to expect that they as an organisation will assess this performance and try to do better. And it's our job to tell them how we would like it to improve.

Anyway, I don't enjoy complaining, I just want to get on with my own projects, and I want Oculus to do well in the future so that we can all enjoy the fruits of that.

No sign of activity on Reddit (as at 5:50pm AEST). But if we all hope and believe hard enough, tomorrow is going to be our day...

Hope so. I'd drive almost anywhere to pick it up myself if it were in the country tomorrow...

June 21st. Credit card payment failed 😞 Don't know why. But still, it's great news for all the Aussies and Kiwis that another batch is being distributed over the coming days. Congrats everyone
