Boxed Set Shipping and Contest « Thread Started on Apr 25, 2009, 9:53am »
I just sent off the two comp copies I owed. The 30 for sale are a little over half complete--i.e. I have about 17 done--which means I'll be opening up sales pretty soon. First I'm going to e-mail the pre-order list and once those orders are filled I will open up regular sales via message board announcements. That seems fair.
In addition, we are holding a contest. One of the boxed sets has character sheets with green (actually more tennis-ball yellow) logos instead of red. If you get that boxed set and e-mail me the number of your box, you'll win a free hard and PDF copy of Return to the Caverns of the Vampire Queen, our first adventure module, upon its release.
Now down to the nitty gritty.
Shipping costs are going to be $7.00 to the Continental U.S. This includes packaging materials (i.e. boxes). Overseas shipping (I had someone from England interested, though I forget who) is going to cost about $13.00 U.S., plus insurance if you want it (and I'd recommend it). Insurance will probably be an extra buck or two.
d**n, I did forget Germany. I'll double-check that, though I think overseas is overseas, so far as costs go.
For purposes here, yes. Would recommend boxing and a bit of padding, though, so that's likely to be over $13. Absolutely no problem here, Jason. USPS 1st class airmail cannot be insured according to the book although I've known a few people who've managed to get that added nonetheless!
Thanks for the update, Jason, and looking forward to that...

No problem, David. We aim to please.
[EDIT] Your link directs to flat-rate shipping, which I'm not using as it's always more expensive than having the stuff weighed. The $13 to England was including boxing and packaging.[/EDIT]
Holy crap. I just finished putting a spreadsheet together for potential customers, and I didn't realize how much interest from overseas and across the border we had! Several Brits, a couple Canucks, and at least two from Germany (is there even a non-offensive colloquial term for German people?)! Geez, we've really hit the whole western world .
I'll double-check on international shipping for Canada and Germany as well, just so we can be on the level with everyone.

Okay, my pre-order customers will be getting e-mails as soon as the shipping materials (boxes and packing peanuts) arrive.
First Class Mail International Package to Canada, according to USPS.com, is $8.95. Adding $2.00 for the box and packing materials, you're looking at roughly $11.00 for shipping to Canada.
To Germany it looks like $16.90, which would come out to roughly $18.90 after packing materials are factored in.
Those are the cheapest rates, at an estimated 2-lb shipping weight.
These are also in U.S. dollars. I'll double-check the figures at the actual post-office, though.

Thanks for your patience, folks--this was a grueling task, putting these together. I'm also sorry to say for those who didn't pre-order that it looks like we're sold out (unless some of the pre-orders change their minds). I'll keep you all posted. I'm looking into options to do a larger "unlimited" run but right now it's not looking financially feasible.
For those who did order: don't forget about the contest, too! Look to see if you have the yellow-green logoed character sheets.

Yep. As I said, please give 2-3 weeks. Takes time to transfer shipping costs from Paypal to my bank account, then with packaging, shipping, etc...and for those in Europe, it might take longer.
