Just wanted to check if anyone has received their light or shipping notification?

I know its useless for a hundred people to post "not me" replies, but since nobody else has said anything yet I'll say - "not me". Then again mine's probably one of the more recent orders. I've only been waiting since late November.

I'd love to hear from anybody who's gotten a shipping notification though. SHOT show ended over 3 weeks ago now. I could use a little more hope.

Ordered March 17th, was told everything was in stock and would ship within two weeks. No shipping notice yet, I have a feeling I'm in for a wait. I was trying to avoid that by checking availability ahead of time, no such luck.

See I don't get that. If everything is in stock why not ship within 2 days not 2 weeks?

I questioned that myself. I would imagine he has a lot of lights to build, that's all I can think of. Honestly I would be find with it shipping within two weeks, if it shipped within two weeks.
I am a little frustrated, I asked ahead of time so I wouldn't have to deal with the wait. My only other HDS light took six months, I would prefer not to go through that again.

Not trying to stir the pot or badmouth HDS, but lots of people ask ahead of time and are given unrealistic shipping quotes. This isn't new. I went through it once for my only HDS and it really is like others have said - once you've got the light you forget about the wait. That's not to excuse Henry's bad estimates but only to hopefully give you something to look forward to. Good luck.

Thanks. I'll request an update at around 3 weeks, hopefully I won't need to.
