1 to 5 business days to build all controllers, the time varies depending on how many orders come in that week. Everything is built from scratch. Our mods are better, so they are harder to install, so they take longer. :)

Quality such as Viking takes time, the waiting can be almost physically painful, but the wait is sooooooooo worth it, chill my friend, be trusting that the your order is individual to you and will arrive as soon as its ready ...

Enemeone this post below is NOT targeted at you, it just seemed like this thread was a good place to make my post:

This week has been, by far, the worst week I have ever had in terms of nasty customers who expect their order to ship same-day. We've received 12 tickets this week from customers who are angry that their controller didn't ship immediately. 5 of those tickets included angry threats such as: "we'll see what our youtube channel thinks about this", "we will never order from your crappy company again", and "I would like to know if you are going to send me my turbo or refund my money."

I am always curious how the other mod shops deal with these customers. Nobody is honest about posting their build times up-front. We USED to do this, but honestly gains you nothing from todays' "me me me" generation, so we buried our shipping notification deep on our customer service page (just like all the other mod shops).

Viking Controllers - 1 to 5 business days
(And our mods are literally WAY WAY WAY harder to install)

Industry comparison:

Evil Controllers - 2 to 6 business days

Yeah I was glad you signed up in the forums to come talk to us, it's always nice for customers to pop in, meet the community "face to face". Thanks for letting me vent. It's not just Viking, I've talked to other mod shop owners and they all get the same nasty. It's not even the modded controller industry. It's just internet e-commerce in general and customer expectations have become totally unrealistic in the modern age of the internet.

U R killin me Matt :) Yeah I think we only have 4 total in the queue now, so it should be shipping soon. These Berserkers are a real headache to install currently, worse than the XBOX 360 macro controller by far.

No man, I was just kidding. As we discussed, I understand what is going on, push mine to the back and get the kiddos taken care of first.

I hope your hand is getting better!
