Just had an email saying my VR Optician lenses have shipped. Now I’ll see how bad things are with Deutsche Post trying to get them to the UK. My VR Cover took something like 5 days last month.

Wondering how long have you waited for VR Optician lenses to be shipped? Ordered mine on 15th Jan and so far website says waiting for lenses to arrive.

double post

Feeks at it again ..

ShiWarrior · 1 Feb 2021 at 16:27

5 days was quick
mine and most others took 2 weeks (14-20 days) to arrive

let us know how long it takes, as i think VR option is the only one that does my prescription

I ordered them on 11th January 2015.

Also my order update said Waiting for lenses to arrive right up until the status to shipped changed this afternoon.

That's good to hear so mine might not be too far behind yours. Looking forward to distching my glasses. Also, got VR cover so hope to get closer to screen without glasses for more FOV.

I think I would've cancelled the order by now if I'd been waiting since 2015.

My replacement VR Cover plastic interface arrived this morning and as this one has all the velcro it is far superior to the other one I have with missing velcro.

Does anyone here have the VRCover facial gasket for improved fov as seen here https://eu.vrcover.com/products/fac...ement-set-for-oculus™-quest-2-dark-blue-black ? If so is it good? They're out of stock, any ideas of suitable alternatives?

ShiWarrior · 2 Feb 2021 at 19:19

im not sure what that is (improved FOV) ?
it looks like the standard VR Cover Facial Interface for improved comfort

Unseul · 2 Feb 2021 at 19:33

Yeah, don't think it's a particular one for that, just the thinner foam. The AMVR (back in Amazon stock on Feb 8th I believe), has even thinner foam, so in theory, even closer to the lenses, that's what I like the look of myself (especially with those side wedges to help with the narrow face).

I am hoping to go over to my Thinner one eventually , soon as i get prescription lenses

koh · 2 Feb 2021 at 21:06

Got mine last week and has improved FOV a lot for me. I wear distance glasses & have got away with using the thinner foam so now closer to lenses. Find it very comfortable and well made. If you wear glasses the smaller the better as replaced mine at same time for thinner pair which helped. Have VR opticians lenses on order so hope get even better fov. They do have black/grey in stock. Not cheap about £41 total to Uk but glad I bought.

Had an email this morning from Royal Mail saying due to the declared value of my VR Opticians package I will be liable for import duty and VAT.

ProStreet · 4 Feb 2021 at 09:13

Got £50 to spend on a strap. What do you think is the best?

That's what I fear will happen when my order arrives. Have they said how much? I ordered some motorcycle part from USA few years ago and import duty and VAT plus Royal Mail handling cost nearly as much as the part.
