Paid a bod yn dwp Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Wow - way to go Chaosium. Already bagged my hardback edition, curious will there be a second printing for the leatherette edition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Meints Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 We are going to print more of the leatherettes. 2 1 Quote Hope that Helps,Rick Meints - Chaosium, Inc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styopa Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I'd imagine the "what proportion of hc vs leather do we print" wasn't an easy decision in the first place. Glad to see the demand is strong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letsdamage Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 This will sound impatient, but I was wondering how long it'll be before books ship (in the USA). I placed an order on the 21st, but the status is still "Awaiting Shipment." Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g33k Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Not me (also USA) -- still "awaiting shipping." IIRC, it took almost a week for Bang to clear all the orders of RQClassic Kickstarter. I have no info about how the RQG numbers stack up, but I presume they are (at least) as numerous as the KS orders. So the orders are flowing, but it may take a while...

styopa Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Oddly "partially shipped"? Hopefully I'l have it soon, Brainerd's only a 2 hour drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letsdamage Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 (edited) I think "partially shipped" means that it's either waiting to be picked up by USPS, or has been picked up, but hasn't left their shipping center yet. That's just a guess. I'm happy that they're heading out, though! Edited September 26, 2018 by letsdamage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Evans Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 One thing I don't get is why Shipping from the UK warehouse to UK addresses is so steep? Shipping of a similar sized book from say GamesLore or Leisure Games is £3.50, but from Chaosium it's £9.76, close to treble what others are charging. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid a bod yn dwp Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Yeah postage does seem a little steep. Must be a reason though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One reason might be that it's not Chaosium themselves that are storing, packaging and sending the item. Also the postage might be more given the choice made: more cost with greater insurance and if Signed For / Tracked. I don't know if they send it second or first class, but given the difficulty and delay getting it out of the Distribution Centre maybe second class would be better (£2.55 cheaper).

Humakt Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I live in Uk and ordered mine the 20th and the status still awaiting shipment , perhaps they are so busy in the warehouse, can’t wait till it be in my hands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

styopa Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Amusingly, it was shipped from Brainerd (2 hours north of me) to Des Moines 3.5 hours south. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psychman27 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 (edited) I just had an update saying my order is "partially shipped", and a tracking number. What company is shipping the book in the UK, so I can use the tracking number to track it? The tracking number link in my account on the Chaosium site just redirects me back to my order status.

Are you amused? Or does the realization that YOUR book likely passed within a few miles of your home (en route to Des Moines 200ish miles away) blunt your laughter ...? I am also ENCOURAGED -- Your "partially shipped" yesterday is today's en route! And today MINE is "partially shipped ..." Yay? 😉 🤩 😍 Quote C'es ne pas un .sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

European shipping also seems both pricey and bizarrely priced. The postage to Switzerland from UK warehouse is $35.34 , which looks about two times what I use to pay for similarly big packages. On the other hand shipping to nearby Northern Italy is $ 22, still very pricey but less unheard of. Usually the rates from UK to Italy and Switzerland are more similar.
