Project Update: Shipping Fees, Tariffs, and VAT
Games Are Here!
The games have successfully arrived at the warehouse and we should be able to start getting copies in the mail in the next 2-3 weeks!
This a big logistics update so please read carefully the below information.
This a big logistics update so please read carefully the below information.
Shipping Fees, Tariffs, and VAT
We have been able to calculate our shipping fees and now have a final value for what we owed for Tariffs upon entry into the US. A reminder that we have not yet charged you shipping on your survey.
Tariffs
The duty charge for importing the games was $1983.00. We have 406 backers receiving physical copies of The Time We Have. That equates to $4.88 per backer. We will be folding this into your shipping charge as an additional $4.50 for backers receiving a physical copy of the game.
I want to personally apologize that this charge needs to be added at all. Thankfully, we are on the lower end of those impacted by tariffs this year but it still sucks on all fronts. I appreciate your understanding and patience as we've navigated this volatile situation.
Shipping Fees
The good news is that we are able to keep shipping down by handling US fulfillment ourselves and working with Peregrine Coast Press for international fulfillment.
Shipping fees will be added to BackerKit in the next few days and we will be charging cards a couple days after that.
VAT
We will be folding VAT into your shipping charges for EU customers as Peregrine will be pre-paying your import fees for the game. This will mean that the shipping charge you see on BackerKit is likely higher than you expect but that is because you will not need to pay import fees when the game arrives. Because this is a card-game, the rate will be higher than you may be used to paying for book-only RPG products.

Digital Edition
We are hard at work on the digital edition of The Time We Have. We're experimenting with possible VTT solutions in addition to the PDF rulebook for using a standard deck of cards and the print-and-play files.
The Finish Line
All this means that we are nearing the end of this campaign and you will have the game in your hands soon. As I mentioned above, the plan is to get everything in the mail by the end of the month. I truly cannot wait for you to see the game in person and can't wait to hear the stories you tell with it.
Thank you,
