Mbass has agreed to again distribute RC2 and RC3 in UK.
Please post here, email or pm your intention to purchase if you are in the UK.
Here is the list of those who have either already purchased or on the CLP:

Steven B.
David W.
Carl H.
Gary E.
Ian M.
Steven M.
Richard E.

I don't know everyone's screen name so please let me know exactly who you are!
You do not have to participate; if not I will ship to you directly via priority mail.
A first class box runs about $24 / # of purchasers
Priority mail runs about $44 / # of purchasers
If we get a package deal, I will invoice each buyer individually for product and shipping to Ian. If you already purchased, I will only invoice remainder of shipping charge.


And I could've bought these damn modules off the 1$ rack!!!

My preference is for priority mail with insurance.
My order is already placed.


This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

I'll be in for the RC3, already paid for RC2 and the basic shipping costs to the USA though.  


Cheers

I'd like RC2 & RC3 pleased and more than happy to go into Ian's shipping pool. Just let me know how much I owe you.
(RC1 presumably in with the original pool, bought and paid for)

(I'm Carl H btw!)


You can never have too much of something you didn't need in the first place.

I'm presuming RC1s were delayed and shipped to us at the beginning of the week. I'm also presuming these were 1st printings. UK Buyers have been asking.

Can you confirm this, Bill?

Ian, if that is the case, I'm happy to wait for RC2 & 3 to arrive with you before you post me down the RC1 (and the other books).

Certainly no rush from here at the moment.   :)

Cheers
Dave

Hi,

while I am not in a huge hurry, I ordered on the 28th october.

With many sellers I would be questioning their credibility at this point.

I do understand that this is a new venture, but maybe customer service could be revamped?

Cheers,
Malc


I have a plan so cunning, you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel.

And how would you suggest he do this?  By quitting his day job?  :)   I do believe that this is a one-man operation unless his wife and kids are also helping out.

Hell, I've paid for and have been waiting for two years to get Delta Green: Targets of Opportunity from Pagan Publishing.  I'm still not worried about it.

I ordered mine around then. At the time the Royal Mail were on strike. They still are in some depots one or two days a month, and they are on a go slow the rest of the time. I'm glad we waited until after the Christmas rush, and I'd be willing to bet the London hub and major regeonal depots have still not completely cleared their backlogs of mail.

As long as the product is in the US, with the USPS or in the hands of Parcel Force. I'm a happy bunny. Once I have it and ship it by Royal Mail Recorded Delivery to destinations in the UK, it's on it's most dangerous leg of it's journey. Being the person who's gonna take financial resposibility for that part of the journey, and refund the purchase costs if the Royal Mail steal, damage, lose, soak or whatever they do to millions of packages a year; I'd much rather that happened after the financial stresses of Christmas and the physical stresses of freezing weather had wained a little and the friendly local posties were less inclined to do whatever it is they do to all those millions of packages that get damaged or 'go missing' each year.

At least you can be assured your item is safer now that it is going to be in the coming weeks, or would have been at any point since you ordered it. Rest assured I will be sending everything Recorded Delivery. But that's about as far as my free shipping service will extend.

Hi,

More than 3 months to send out 100 items.

Roughly 1 per week.

Do you really think he needs to quite his day job to double the rate?

Cheers,
Malc

They were shipped out via priority mail on Monday of this week. I would guess they will be in your hands by the weekend or so.
All are first prints.


And I could've bought these damn modules off the 1$ rack!!!

I understand several UK buyers purchased very early on. However, we set up the UK distribution and I did not have all orders complete until way after that date. Everything after that point was my fault. I have been travelling way too much for work and, well, that is that.

I have completey reset how we are doing this from this point on.

The deadline for orders is next wednesday. The modules will ship to the UK on Thursday. No waiting for orders etc.

I tried to create a cost-efficient system and it got bogged down - and I will take that responsibility.

No problem here Bill, I appreciate that with our postal issues around the Christmas period, it was better to wait.

I lost a package that still hasn't been found and thankfully that was refunded, so I'm glad we didn't lose these 1st prints!

I also realise that launching a new venture like this and working full time is not easy and appreciate your regular updates via the site or emails and the 'giving back' you've offered with the limited mods being produced once a year.

Keep up the good work mate!  :)

p.s Looking forward to when the AD&D mods are due out!!  8)

Hi,

hang on, you mean they still arent on their way?

Sorry, but Jeez man, thats really poor.

I thought shipping was worked out at the time and paid according to the order for RC1? And now you say its going to be for RC2 and RC3 as well?

Now I feel even more ripped off than I did before
:x
And that should read 1 per day from me above  8O

Cheers,
Malc

Malc, as I understand RC1 is already on its way and will be here imminently. RC2 & RC3 will come later.

Personally, I'm likely going to wait on RC2 & 3 until maybe the AD&D mods launch as I think it'll be cheaper/easier to ship them all together, but I'll speak to Bill about that later on.

Malc,
I will apologize for the delay agian. My responsibility. They were sent on Monday to Ian via priority mail. I think that service is 4-7 days to him.
I have sent you a pm and I hope that helps.
Sincerely,
Bill
