I'm starting to get a bit annoyed now, how hard can it be to say "All ROW folks who still haven't got a notification will be in the next container - we'll let you know when that is when USPS let us know" - or whatever. My stuff never arrived for my birthday (in April) and I lived. I appreciate the scale, the shipping frpm China, all that - but now that it's so close I need more regular updates as I am anticipating harder!

 

FWIW The Netherlands, Bones plus 8 extra thingies. (Mind Your Manors, Demons, Spider Centaurs, Forces Of Nature, Jabberwock, Kaladrax Reborn, C'thulhu, Golems)

 

Has anyone spotted anything on FB or twitter or wherever discussing the rest of the Rest of the World?

Still waiting as well for my shipment email, Netherlands with 13 items. I'd hoped that they be here by now, so I could take a few days off and clean and sort them, as things are quiet at work at the moment, but it seems they won't show up before the 2nd half of August I think :(

 

If they do another Kickstarter, I would like to probably support it again, but they should really setup ROW shipping better, as this is getting slightly annoying ....

I'm mostly bummed as I'm a teacher and have no free time apart from the holidays - which are now - and then zero time until October. Which is close to the due date for our second kid, so I can forget about disappearing upstairs for hours on end :-)

 

Need minis NOW! ::o::blush:

Remember, there was an update on Friday to say they are still working through the orders, and Monday's shift will have *just* started and they only have a small handful of people working on the weekend and USPS are closed so updates are extremely unlikely over the weekend.

 

I very much doubt they will say that any orders will be on the next USPS truck until they actually are, as I think the last lot they had didn't fit on the truck they sent (reported by someone who had an email response from Reaper by someone who very much expected theirs should have been sent). This is why they would avoid saying anything but "You will receive an email when yours goes out". In the past, people have been even more annoyed when they were told their package would ship and then USPS/UPS failed them and they couldn't do it.

 

tl;dr USPS have let them down several times, which makes people angry at Reaper. So they have avoided estimates recently.

 

Edit: And I also had last week where work was slow so I had less hours. It would have been the perfect time to have my Bones, but alas! I commiserate.

Is Chicago the last point in the US before going to the destination country? If it is then mine are now waiting on a plane across the Atlantic. If they manage to get to me this month I'll be happy, that way we can get some games in with them before my better half goes abroad for college for three years

So i should get mail now to pickup the package from my local customs bureau. Does anyone know what amount will be declared on the invoice? I originally pledged for 1x Vampire level + Shipping Costs, but ordered extras in the pledge manager afterwards.

First of all - we have no evidence there was a weekend crew. Frankly if they're waiting on the Mythical USPS Truck, Demeters chariot of our time, they'd be silly to keep the weekend shift going. And so I like to think that instead of slaving away in the Bonesium mines, the Reaper Peeps had a chance to catch up with their loved ones this weekend.

 

Secondly, why, in the name of little green frogs, is it always "Oh, think of the people who'd be annoyed if we told them one date and had to change things"? That bird hasn't just flown the coop, it's been caught, killed, plucked, stuffed, roasted, eaten, and is currently wending it's way through our collective digestive system. Won't someone, for the love of C'thulhu, think of the people getting angry at the lack of updates from Reaper and give us equal billing with these hypothetical idiots incapable of realising things happen? Someone that dim, surely, couldn't read said updates.

Pretty sure they said if your pledge included at least one Vampire, they'd just mark it as $100 and then shipping in case your country requires it
