I ordered two mystery boxes in December, one on the 27th another on the 29th and both have arrived. My order from the 27th will be here tomorrow and my order from the 29th got here little over a week ago.
I think the shipping option you choose has an effect. My order on the 29th I chose 2-Day fedex and it was relativley quick. My order from the 27th was standard USPS.
Just the other day I ordered a Flamberge, and compared the order numbers with my mystery boxes. The difference in order numbers between my earliest mystery box and my latest order is around 9000, meaning there's around that many orders they're trying to process.
right, and that's orders....not hilts. I'm sure if we knew exactly how many hilts went out would put a new wow factor on it.

I was thinking that also. Many new orders and new customers with the sale and raffle going on also really spurred the sales. I wonder what the overall ratio of hilts per order would be. With all the unboxing videos I have watched on YouTube featuring from usually 2 up to 10 sabers at a time, I figure it's at least 2 or 3 sabers per order overall company wide. So that's a whole bunch of units being moved. From a business sense, Ultrasabers being flooded with orders and having to be working so hard to keep up with the demand is a good problem to have!

Really!? Wow, that's great for US! I had no idea about that. Disney $$$$$$ is good $$$$$$. That is huge for the brand. If US is a vendor for Disney, you know they have got to be doing something right! If I owned US, I'd kinda be like: Mmmmmmmm......Disney Vendor $$$$$$$$............

A thought occurred to me. Feel free to tell me I'm way off if I am indeed way off.
There seems to be a bit of fluctuation with people getting shipping notifications before others who ordered before them. I was wondering, might that have anything to do with the amount of customisation on the hilt? You'd think more work would need doing on hilts that needed different AV switches or covertecs added, for example.
Just thinking out loud.

It is quite possible.

the number of hilts ordered can come into play as well. if you can put out only a certain amount of hilts a day, it would make sense to kick out as many small orders first. if you make 5 hilts an hr you ship out 5 orders of one hilt compared to one order of 5 hilts. kill as many as possible first.

Agreed. Your logic is sound. I can imagine watching all the CNC machining would be cool to witness.

I keep seeing unboxing vids on YouTube, from people that ordered in January.
One guy, in the UK, got his in a week!
Here I am, "still processing" a grab bag, since December 30th!

Has anyone not received shipping notice on day 14? I ordered on the 3rd and my 14th day will be Wednesday this week. Just curious if I should lower my expectations/excitement.
