Kickstarter: Scenery in a box

The cemetery set is what caught my eye, inexpensive for $50 for a great amount of scenery and they seem to have a good head on their shoulders to deploy on time. May be worth checking!

It's not bad looking stuff, and I hate to be disparaging of anyone running a Kickstarter (given I'm painfully aware of how much work it is!), but they're going to have to find a better solution than $50 to ship a $50 item if they want any backers outside the US...

I like the "modern art" and "gazebo".

But that postage is a definite killer.

Unfortunately Scott is spot on, I saw the link Styx posted on The strange aeons kickstarter,
Saw the cemetery and went straight to pledge until I saw the postage  :-X

Scott, would you be willing to give some EU and international shipping advice to them? I would be happy to forward on to them. I'd like to see it a success and I think they can do better in shipping as well. PM me and I will be happy to relay it.

There's really no better source of info I've found than this article, which was what convinced me we could pull it off with Strange Aeons: http://stonemaiergames.com/how-to-provide-free-shipping-worldwide-on-kickstarter-a-comprehensive-guide/

It only discusses using Amazon for fulfillment, but services like Shipwire are a good alternative as well.

Ship naked as well is another way to go.

Wow, hadn't heard of them, and that looks like a mighty attractive option.  Thanks for mentioning it - could make my life a whole lot easier.

Thanks for the info guys....I let them know and they are working on the issue....the info  you gave me gave thanks to you guys for giving input.....
With luck they can lower the costs down EU and overseas......I think the Graveyard is going to be sweet to get some games in.
