Hello all!
I just got the glorious news that my new K3 will be here Friday. I just ordered an Oberon yesterday (expecting my K3 to take until the end of next week before it arrives).
What are you all experiencing with order date/shipping times for the new K3 Oberon covers? I can read my K3 w/o it..and I'm waiting on a Decalgirl skin and a Borsa Bella bag as well...so just curious. I've never ordered from Oberon so I'm not sure how long things take. I am in CA (DRAT that tax! Bumped me up to $80 for the cover!) so once it ships it should get here quickly:)

I ordered on Saturday morning and received a notice that my cover shipped yesterday. In the past it has taken 1-2 weeks....I think the folks at Oberon are working overtime to get stuff out right now.

I'm very excited! I have broken my Oberon cherry and just now ordered the Celtic Hounds K3 cover in wine. I choose UPS ground shipping since I'm just a state over. UPS shouldn't take more than a couple/few days.
Very excited - I don't know how I'll contain myself until it gets here!!

I ordered 9/10 and mine has been mailed. I used the USPS options so I'm not sure how fast it will get to me. Hopefully, by this weekend.  |

I ordered early 9/10 and just got the email an hour or two ago that it's shipped. I am using UPS Ground- delivery date is a week from today (22nd) which would be 5 business days. (I believe UPS /Ground is 3-5 business days)

Mine has been shipped out. I ordered using USPS Priority. Since I live in Colorado and the are in California it shouldn't take too long.

I ordered Monday, Sep 12 soon after I ordered my K3. Amazingly, my K3 is supposed to arrive today, but I haven't heard anything yet on the Oberon cover. Oh well, I would rather have my K3 first so I can start reading.

Wow that's fast postal service. 2 days from CA to NJ? Wow.
And it looks gorgeous. Very pretty. And I see that the corners don't cover the buttons at all. That is fantastic.
I am sitting on pins and needles, I ordered the morning of the 11th and haven't heard anything yet.
I am sure they busy tooling, but I am even more exited now.

Awesome cover auntmarge!! And, excellent pictures... it is absolutely gorgeous. Mine only have to come half way across the country so I'll be thrilled if I get two day USPS service!

That wine color is so beautiful! I've steered away from it because I had heard that it was more brownish red than deep burgundy, and I have an older Oberon card holder in wine that does almost look more brown than red. But at least from your photo on my monitor, that color is perfect!

The color plays tricks with light. Sometimes it seems browner, sometimes redder. Someone on another thread asked if it's cordovan, like the shoe polish, and I'd say that's about right. |

Mine made it from CA to FL in 2 days. That is fast service. I'm so excited to get home tomorrow to see it. |

Hi AuntMarge... beautiful cover! Did you order one without the wool insert or is my monitor (eyes?) playing tricks on me? |

I got mine today!!!!!!! It's the Wild Roses in Marigold color. It's gorgeous!!! Thank you Oberon Design for my cover, for the present of a free butterfly charm, an extra cord & instructions. I love it!! Sorry, no pic. The workmanship is outstanding. The Marigold is sort of like a golden yellow, a brownish yellow....it's just right!!

Didn't know that was an option... very cool! The wool doesn't bother me but it's good to know that you can order it sans wool.

Okay, I finally ordered my red hummingbird Oberon on Sunday night the 12th PDT. Today I received shipping notice:
The following package was shipped to you via the U.S. Postal Service:
Delivery ZIP............9XXXXX
Shipment Date...........9/17/10
Mail Class..............Priority Mail
Signature Required......No
Confirmation Number.....XXXXXXXXXXXX
I expect I'll get it Monday and will post pix. I could have run down and picked it up easily enough but I'll enjoy it when it comes.
