I placed my order during the third week of March. I haven't received any kind of a place/confirmation number, though the money has transferred out of paypal. And I still show no orders pending on the website. So I have no clue what or when to expect. Glad others have received their lenses. Just getting anxious for mine!
As soon as I get my lenses they go into parts storage for when I need them.. Didn't want to take a chance they would stop making them again...
....WW
was hoping you'd install them right away
Don't rely on an accurate status from the tracking number per Note #3 on the description page, I received my tracking number Sunday & according to USPS tracking number my lenses have not even left California yet (Tues. night) to be shipped to Arizona, so I don't know really where they are...
But it's a necessary evil because what other service can ship a set of lenses for $12 across the country on Saturday night and have them delivered on Monday morning?
My car is an 07 and my seals have looked cracked and dry rot since about 2010. The car sits in the Texas sun at least 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, lol. At that time either, I didn't have an enclosed garage, just covered parking. It is only a matter of time before UV exposure kills them, even with protection. That will likely be the next thing the aftermarket needs to make.
A bit of a related topic to the lenses; would you recommend replacing the turn signal/DRL bulbs or even the HID lights while doing a lens replacement on a 10 year old car? I'm still on all original bulbs in my car except for one tail light. I don't have any complaints with their current performance but I'm sure it is only a matter of time before something goes out.

here's a sample photo:

We have shipped "another shipment" - and we still have 4-5 to go. We have a process, we make the labels and then start the packaging process. Whatever "fits" into the delivery vehicles goes, if it doesn't fit, it goes into the next day's shipment. So as some have accurately pointed out, the tracking number isn't perfect but it's reasonably accurate within a day or 2, and from there it's not uncommon for the tracking number to show nothing but the part to be sitting on your porch waiting for you.
Here's the latest run:

WE STILL HAVE PLENTY OF STOCK!
Another shipment, I believe we have finished through March, we're going to finish much of April today or thereabouts then we'll start shipping on order. At that point, we'll announce on a second, new thread that the installation opportunities are open.

Very happy to hear, can we quote you
Can we quote you on that
Brilliant staging of the product, we couldn't have asked for better...we have had some comments internally about not doing the extra cost on the artwork, but your photo honestly makes it worth it

We've been a little tired and it showed last night, I don't think we even got 40 units out yesterday, but at least it's something
Last night we were able to finalize some scheduling on a new batch being built right now. Same great quality, but hopefully a little faster delivery this time via boat.
GRATUITOUS PLUG: WE STILL HAVE STOCK TO SHIP NOW

Update:
We're actually finally nearing the end of production #1 - we probably have maybe 30-40 units left at most, probably less after today.
Second production run has started and we expect to have it ready by end of this week or early next week, with shipping by boat once again.
There have been some really great photos we've been emailed and posted here, and if you're interested, we're going to be posting them on our instagram page (@umnitza_official = http://www.instagram.com/umnitza_official )
Because production #2 will probably take 2-3 weeks to arrive here around mid to late May, we are doing something once again for you. Pre-orders will receive $50 discount on your complete order - with seals, clear film, etc, all options.
We're also offering gaskets now in limited supply at $115 per pair.

We are down to only a handful of units. Remember, all pre-orders and those willing to wait can pay the original pre-pre-pre price of $249.99
We are officially out of the backlog and now doing standard shipping.
We're really happy with the responses we've received for these lenses, we tried really hard to get them right. You buy, we ship
When we started this project, no one was even considering it. We proved that the market was there and we built you a great product. We built it to be subtle without any wackadoo writing on the lenses, it's properly packaged, and most importantly,it's very high polish OE quality without the OE defects.
We're pretty proud, and hope you guys will appreciate these lenses for many years to come.
We really couldn't have done it without the support of this community, thanks!!!!

We sold the last angel eyes Orion V2 kit this week, next batch of angel eyes rings will be here roughly the same time as the next batch of lenses.
