Jason D Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I have a feeling that is some sort of automated calender function. Dustin keeps editing the post he first put up over a year ago, so the original date is showing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tal Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Got home from work and there was an email from Chaosium entitled "BRP is here"!!!!! So should not be long now! Quote 141/420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dredj Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Now that Chaosium has finally received their shipment of BRP, the question becomes: how long does it take to get to the other distributors (namely, Amazon)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ars Mysteriorum Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 Have any of the folks who pre-ordered received notice that their book has shipped?

Aycorn Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I just received a notice from Amazon that they don't know when they'll be able to ship. :mad::mad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason D Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I just received a notice from Amazon that they don't know when they'll be able to ship. :mad::mad: Amazon does that automatically. I expect that Chaosium's going to get the books shipped out this week, and they'll be distributed throughout Amazon's warehousing system next week, shipped to customers soon after. It's possible you'll see books from amazon.com shipping before the first week in July, but my bet is that they'll begin hitting people's mailboxes shortly after the 4th of July weekend.

Here's to hoping my copy arrives before July 4th weekend (should be direct from Chaosium). 3 day weekend coupled with my mother-in-law in town to help distract the kids might equal more reading time -V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they'll ship to FLGS distributors first, right? So that those of us who are supporting our FLGS, but have been bugging them for several YEARS will not be penalized for buying locally... Right?... Oh bugger. Steve Quote Bathalians, the newest UberVillians! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that those of us who are supporting our FLGS, but have been bugging them for several YEARS will not be penalized for buying locally... Right?... Oh bugger. Steve I have no official idea, but I would imagine it'll be done almost simultaneously. I've been at publishers when product needed to go to distributors and amazon.com, and it's often accomplished at the same time... checking boxes for condition of books, throwing a bunch of shipping labels onto them and calling a shipper like UPS to come and get them. So my unofficial guess is that distributors and Amazon.com will get their books almost the same time... how long it takes them to get them into their own distribution system and out the door is variable.

bloodshadows Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Mine is still showing Pre-Order Pending. My hope is that it will arrive by Saturday.

TRose Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Going to get on phone and stop bugging my local game store. Perhaps threaten to summon a shoggoth during their next war hammer tournament if they don't order me a copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tal Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 FRPgames has it on their home page as a recent release that is in stock. Looks like it's making its way out to the game shops. Quote 141/420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blizack Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I got my shipping notification yesterday afternoon. Does anybody know what shipping method Chaosium generally uses? I'd ask them directly, but I don't want to bother them with such a trivial question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specifically: "Chaosium can ship your order to any place in the world reachable by the U.S. Postal Service or by UPS. The following paragraphs describe our product warranty and return policies.

Not even on the "detailed invoice" - it just has an entry for "Shipping Method: Shipping." Priority? Media Mail? Parcel Post? It's not specified. I guess I'll pester them myself... :ohwell: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
