Light side points preferred if I earn them....

I'm considering the raffle. Though I'm unsure what is more interesing between a huge order to get the mystery box or multiple small ones to get raffle tickets.
I was quite happy with the 2 free initiates I got with my previous orders. But do I really want another? and I like sound sabers better. So a free mystery box without sound... Might not be so interesting.

Up to you, but one advantage of multiple small orders is, besides the multiple raffle entries, you don't need to worry about one saber on backorder holding the other ones up.

That is actually very true!! I mean. Free stuff is always nice. But, I had a lot of luck with the sound mystery box I ordered. Not so much with the free initiates and grab bag. Even though I like the initiates V4, I probably would not have ordered them.

That's right, but if you have to pay $ 50 shipping for every order it gets expensive very quickly.  Wink

Ouch, that's unfortunate. I usually try and capitalize on free shipping when/if available.

And may I ask what you ordered? It's a bit crazy it's taking that long. I'd have guessed you were in that Lost Grey/Fulcrum crowd, but one never knows with these things. Maybe just a big order and one item wound up Out of Stock due to Covid or who knows what reason. Either way, that is certainly rough, but glad you're hanging in there. With luck you'll feel it was all worth it in the end.

Sadly there never was a free shipping to Europe.

Of course. Are the sabers on my sig, marked as "Processing": Phantasm V3, Butcher and Spectre.
I had got an offer to change my order (other color for Butcher, other type for Spectre) to make it sooner, but after I have waited 6 months already, I have decided to wait longer to get what I really want.

Dully noted, thanks for the reply. I am one to fervently stand behind the original design vs changing it to get it faster. I feel it will be less fulfilling that way ultimately. But I get it, free shipping across that distance is apparently not as feasible. Also I missed that in your sig, thanks again for the info. I hope it all gets to you sooner rather than later. May the Force serve you well in acquiring your lightsabers.

So I'm new to the forums and I did some reading about what the estimated time would be for orders to be process, but I also see there are a lot of orders they are working on and previous issues of emails being lost so there was a lot of backtracking. I understand it may take a while to see my order get passed "Processing", but does anyone have any idea on the current estimated time it takes to finish processing or receive word from them?

Thanks, and I hope you're all having a good start to your 2021!

It all depends on which hilt(s) you ordered and when. If you already sent an inquiry email then wait for the answer.

As DarthRondoudou said. It only depends on your current configuration and only US can say about delivery (but even they misjudged my order by a few months). And don't trust the stock information on the online shop. "Out of stock" doesn't mean the saber is out of stock (Indeed I got an offer from US to switch to a hilt that is constantly displayed "out of stock" because it was available). And "on stock" doesn't mean you don't have to wait months either.
Response times to emails can be a bit difficult too. In fact, I seem to have been lucky, at least so far, because I always got a - always very nice - answer within a few hours or days.

During summer I had trouble getting fast answers, but lately it was very smooth. Is the zen desk back? Cause that was really helpful.

Well, I said I wasn't going to order more Ultrasabers, but I just placed an order for an Aeon v2 in GB for my sister-in-law. I just sent my sister a Dominix v2 for her b-day, so I wanted them both to have sabers

I also ordered a Quick Release coupler and some pieces from TCSS. I think I figured out a way to make non-MHS hilts compatible with those, so I can use a QR coupler on the V2s if I wanted to (or on my non-US lightsabers)
Of course, I'll share that video with you guys Grin.

Yep. I still think US is good for stunt sabers and since my nephew and sister now have stunts, it only made sense to get my sister-in-law something similar.
Otherwise my OCD would require I get them all sound & rgb sabers from the other guy I've been buying from.

That, and no other saber company makes a QR coupler that compares to Ultrasabers.

Yeah I personally may have found it a bit annoying popping up when I didn't need it, BUT when needed it was awesomely helpful... Now I can't seem to find any access to it either. Perhaps removed/temporary alliance over holiday?
