I helped unload the truck at 11:55AM this morning. The new, better boxes are fantastic! They are sturdy, the printing on the wrap is perfect and there are no defective boxes in the entire order! It will take me the rest of the week to pack up all the WhiteBox Boxed Sets ordered so far, but they will all start shipping next week.
Finally!

Excellent. I'd love some information about the box manufacturer, costs, etc. What? Take three months of searching, learning the art of box-making, making calls, emailing, getting estimates, getting laughed at, losing sleep at night...and just hand it over to another publisher? Haven't you read James Raggi's recent blog post about those of us who blog or publish in the OSR "Are Not Among Friends?" ;D Here you go: I cannot recommend these folks enough. Tell them "Pastor John" recommended them. Not only are they quick and make a very good product, they quoted me 1/3 the cost of the box maker that backed out of his contract. Kalie McCoy is the Office Manager/Estimator and she will take care of you in a very short amount of time.

James can be a bit militant for my tastes at times (and I think he knows it)! Thanks so much! If I may ask (and you can feel free to PM me if you don't want to post it publicly) what was your per-unit cost and the size of your order? |

Glad it worked out. Thanks for being the guinea pig on publishing a boxed set.

Glad it worked out. Thanks for being the guinea pig on publishing a boxed set. A realistic way of looking at it! |

That is awesome news John! Thanks for all your very diligent efforts... can't wait to get mine! I wonder whether it will be the first in Australia? ;D (Greyharp, did you order one?)

Hm. I still haven't seen mine--I'm hoping that it wasn't lost in the mail, or my order lost  |

I still haven't seen mine--I'm hoping that it wasn't lost in the mail, or my order lost No, Greyharp was one of the "first 50" orders, but it took a couple of weeks for it to make its way to Tasmania. All remaining box orders start shipping this week. Jason, yours will be among them. bravehalfling.com/?p=971 |

So, have they all shipped yet? (I really need to register at the BHP boards...) All WB Boxed Sets purchased in January are shipping today and tomorrow (which I think you are in Random). I am also hoping to get all of the March Boxed sets out by the end of the week as well. I'll post in the next day or two on my website when the last boxed set from January is shipped. |
