MrJealousy Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Looks like there is a 30% off sale on the entire range of Chaosium goodness. Basic Roleplaying - Chaosium Inc. Quote Mr Jealousy has returned to reality! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sardan Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 There used to be free shipping on large orders but it looks like Chaosium no longer offer this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJealousy Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 Postage is a tough option. The regular books you can probably pick up from a local rpg store, but the Monographs, being only available from Chasoium, require some tough decision making at $40+ minimum for international postage. It does make me think twice before commiting to a purchase. Which is a shame, because I do want to give chaosium some of my money, but when the postage is more than the book...

Agentorange Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) And furthermore every time I go to the Chaosium site I get the following warning screen: There is a problem with this website's security certificate.

Since Chaosiums last security cock up cost me £1,000 on my credit card ( luckily refunded ) coupled to the shipping costs I very much doubt I'll be buying from them, which is a great shame as there's loads of monographs I'd like.

Philotomy Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Postage is a tough option. You're not kidding. When I saw this thread I thought, "Cool, now is a good time to pick up Mythic Iceland!" So I went to Chaosium's site, put it in my cart, and calculated the shipping. Even with the the sale and the cheapest shipping option for me, which is take-forever/no-tracking-number U.S. parcel post, the total price is higher than what it costs me to order the book from Amazon with 2-day shipping included (I have that "Amazon Prime" thing). So I ordered it from Amazon for cheaper and should have it on Wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickMiddleton Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 There used to be free shipping on large orders but it looks like Chaosium no longer offer this. Interestingly my latest email shot from Chaosium says that the "I WANT FREE SHIPPING" voucher STILL works for overseas orders of $125+ and is till automatically applied to US orders of $60+ Cheers, Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaot Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 When I saw this thread I thought, "Cool, now is a good time to pick up Mythic Iceland!" Indeed, there's a bunch of stuff I still haven't picked up, like Mythic Iceland, Celestial Empires, Swords of Cydonia, heck, I still need to pick up The Laundry. I should hope that with Chaosium's move to a new server they would have taken care of any security issues they were having... Quote 70/420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nclarke Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I did see that they mentioned an update of the shopping cart software so I guess that covers the security thing. Quote Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have a 'I WANT FREE SHIPPING' secret coupon code or voucher any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
