Got my shipping notice last night, well it hasn't shipped yet, but is registered with PacketPort (whatever that is).

Strange things happen, for me it was the other way around, the parcel arrive without notification, a week later CMON send me a notification with the already delivered shipping details...   ;D
cheers and keep on gaming, Agis - https://www.adpublishing.de

The strange thing for me is that items arrive much quicker from the UK than a small trip over the Tasman sea. Shipping is very slow.

The box arrived, and I've had a few games to try to learn the rules. Must say, I'm actually really disappointed so far. Given that I'm a huge fan of Black Plague, I really had high hopes for this, but it seems unnecessarily clunky in parts, and really, really easy. I mean, it's time-consuming due to all the fiddly cross-referencing and modifiers, but not actually challenging.

Added to that CMON have been rubbish with customer service regarding an issue with my pledge, and I'm seriously considering flogging it on Evilbay.

Sorry if this is a dampener for everyone still waiting - I don't usually like to moan, and I'm actually disappointed with myself a bit for not liking it, as it's so far up my street we may as well be housemates...  lol

I got my pile of plastic today... I must say there's a lot of it. o_o

The shipping was a bit epic, I got shipping note emails from no less than three carriers. And in the final one they claimed they had tried to deliver, only there was an 'issue' so they would be sending an arrival notice so I can collect it from the local post office. Of course they never did any such thing, I know because I was home waiting for the ruddy delivery all day long... all they needed to do was ring my door-bell. Oh well, I just printed the code, and went there to get it myself. it's no biggie, but I guess I paid for getting it delivered home, right?

I like the plastic more than Bones at least for now, it's nowhere near as bendy, and mold lines MIGHT might clean up easier. We'll see how it takes to paint.

Psyber, have you tried it any more?

I'd actually like to dislike it...since it means I could eBay it and spend the money somewhere else.  There are some minis in there I'm desperate to use though (the twin-headed Ogre is fantastic looking).  Still no shipping here in Canada's Belly.

Damn... I'm not getting mine it seems.  Forgot to fill out the pledge manager.... I guess I clicked on the zombicide order I'd made the year before and thought all was OK since they already had my address.

That's a nice $120 gone.

Surely they can verify that you ordered a copy - and can at least mail it to you later?  That's pretty crap.

Yup... from the US hub with $70 postage and tax, customs and so on.  I don't really know if that's gonna happen.

What if you sell it to someone you trust in the US? Get it sent to that address instead?

Just heads up...they're not gouging you on shipping.  If I had to ship the boxes I got Zombicide in, they'd be $65-90 to ship internationally from the US.  Our international shipping is hugely expensive.

If someone wants to weigh and measure the boxes I could get you an actual quote, but it won't be cheap.
