[Cyc]

Much sooner than expected. I don't have buyers remorse for ForcePack I bought on weekend, honest...

[beachhead1985]

Huh. Puts me in kind of a rough spot.

Work is requiring that I move in the next few months (it's that kind of job), but until I get the word, I can't even go looking for a place. Thus; no address to ship to.

What do you think the odds are that we'd see Canadian shipping before June?

The last KS ended up coming to a laundromat outside town and I had to drive 40 minutes to pick it up. A simple mail re-direct would not have worked.

Probably so close to 0 that its not worth considering. If we get an update that everything has arrived in LA next week or Orlando the week after, and then all of the processing goes perfectly, and Canadian orders are shipped before the US (it did happen with the Clan Invasion campaign), then there is a tiny chance that it might arrive by May 31st.

I suppose you could give the address of family or a trusted friend who can hold onto it until you can get it

US backers, turn on the news. Baltimore (America's 8th largest port) is going to be blocked off for months. This will unfortunately slow down America's other east coast ports even more.

Didn't the last Kickstarter ship out of Georgia?

[Sartris]

that's where the warehouse is yeah

I thought the KS shipped out of Florida. The CGL store ships from Georgia.

QML's website shows them using the ports of Jacksonville, Fort Lauderdale and Miami.

That's not too bad then. There are ports a lot closer to Baltimore that should pick up most of the slack.

Just got this email from Catalyst: Last call to update your shipping address for BattleTech: Mercenaries!   

 

[ColBosch]

Just got this email from Catalyst: Last call to update your shipping address for BattleTech: Mercenaries!   

Same!

[ActionButler]

Same!

+1

[Sapphirus]

Just got this email from Catalyst: Last call to update your shipping address for BattleTech: Mercenaries!   

So did I!

[Lorcan Nagle]

I got the address update notification and my VAT has been added, but no shipping total yet.  That VAT is a spicey meatball

[Charistoph]

Same.

I wish it wouldn't hit the "ansty anticipation" button in my nervous system that something hits whenever I finally calm down from the last time, though.

Must has new tanks soon!  I think I have enough for when my Clan campaign hits the Periphery in May, but can Spheroids ever have enough tanks when dealing with Periphery Furries (or Featheries in the case of those Turkey yahoos)?

How bad was it?

[Lorcan Nagle]

How bad was it?

about 21%, that and shipping will push my total payout into four figures.

[beachhead1985]

That's a great idea. Thank you.

[DarkSpade]

I'm not expecting to move soon, but I still send any expensive packages or lengthy preorders to my sister's.   Safer all around.

[Euphonium]

about 21%, that and shipping will push my total payout into four figures.

I haven't got mine yet, but my bank balance is already wincing in anticipation, for similar reasons.
I really need to stop buying minis, I don't get anywhere near opportunities to use them compared to what I've spent 

[Lorcan Nagle]

Counterpoint: more minis!

[I am Belch II]

I didn't get a shipping guess yet. I guess I will know soon.

[riposte]

Same for AU tax. I suspect that number will go up when shipping is added (boo!)

[ISD]

I don't want to think about the 24% VAT in here plus the taxes (and the hassle of doing the customs declaration)

[worktroll]

Same for AU tax. I suspect that number will go up when shipping is added (boo!)

GST should only be 10% ... and yes, that will hurt on two battalion pledges plus extras.

[thedancingjoker]

Yeah, my wallet is bracing for the Shipping cost.

Where did you see the VAT? Received my mail, but didn't do anything, as don't have to change my address.

[Aresneo]

It's not shown in the email, you have to login to Backerkit to see it.

Click through and then go to the next page and it's listed there.  Shipping still says 0 for me
