I still have a shipping charge, but it's down to $2.06

Same here, the £30 shipping charge to the UK has fallen off.

Just hope they're not changing it from next day airmail, to second class surface mail!

It could be why they are not able to ship in mass quantities is because UPS/FEDEX can't handle the load of so many next-day-air shipments at once. 

The problem then would be they would need to package them better than they are in the unboxing videos I have seen. Next-day-air can be packaged a little lighter because the box exchanges hands less and is not thrown around as much/not stacked in a semi-truck under 200 other boxes.

Mine shows $2.40.  Looks like they just deducted $30 from the shipping total, because my shipping was previously $32.40.  Maybe they're switching distribution companies or location.

oculus may be paying for our shipping? Would be a nice move on their part. Hell, that and an update would be incredible. Even a normal update telling us the situation would be fine by me.

Your kidding right? UPS/Fedex can't handle so many next day air shipments? Two of the largest logistics companies in the world, who operate their own airplanes can't handle shipments from a tiny 500 person company.

I meant from a single source. There are only so many planes taking off with packages in them from wherever they are shipping them from. If your talking quantity instead of speed, you could get a lot more rifts to local distribution centers faster if they were on trucks than you could trying to land planes on runways as another plane was taking off (which they aren't).
