PROJECT UPDATE
Project Update: Europe update - IT'S STARTING!
Hey all!
After a lengthy sea voyage and then several trucking lanes across Europe, I'm happy to say Europe fulfillment is about to start! Here's the details:
- Logistico is our new fulfillment partner in Europe (based in Germany).
- They have all the new inventory, for both Aetherspire and Widget's Workshop.
- They will start sending out orders that include just new inventory (about 75% of the orders). I haven't received a firm start date, but it sounded like it would be imminent (assuming/hoping this week, but I still need confirmation on that).
- For the remaining 25% of orders, we are trucking over the existing inventory from Fulfillment-Europe (the distance between the two warehouses is only 4 hours by truck, so this should not take long). Assuming we can get that inventory landed at Logistico by end of this week, they can just tack on those orders to the end of their fulfillment process that will already be underway.
Super stoked that we will finally reach this finish line! Thanks for your patience, and we look forward to updating you again once everything is truly done.
Cheers!
PROJECT UPDATE
Project Update: January shipping update, and widget is now an enamel pin!
Happy January!
Here's the latest update on the shipping status per region:
- US: Complete!
- Canada: BoardGameBliss should already have dispatched all orders, but they may not yet have reached you. You should see your pledges within a week!
- Europe: The boat headed for Greece is set to land on February 4. It looks like it had to circumnavigate Africa (I heard due to some unusual pirate activity?). From there, the inventory will be trucked up to our Germany warehouse. I will keep you posted as I hear specific timeframes to expect.
- Asia: Complete!
- Australia: Complete!
Enamel Pins
If you love our Widget character, now you can get him on an enamel pin, along with many other of our beloved characters from Dungeon Drop and Drop Drive! Each pin is just $7, and of course there are bundle offers available. Check it out here!
That's it for now - have a safe and warm rest of your winter season!
PROJECT UPDATE
Project Update: December shipping update
Happy Holidays!
Here's the latest update on the shipping status per region:
- US: The inventory has reached our warehouse, The Game Crafter, and all backer orders have been uploaded into their system. They should be able to start shipping orders soon, although they may need to complete some other projects first - whatever the case, I'm optimistic things will be shipping out VERY soon now (I'd love to say at least some orders will fulfill by Christmas week, but until I hear that from The Game Crafter explicitly there's no guarantee). I will update you when they give me an official word as to anticipated start and end dates.
- Canada: I have also submitted all the necessary details to get the sub-freight for Canadian orders shipped out from The Game Crafter, destined for BoardGameBliss in Canada. BoardGameBliss has all the order details for Canadian backers in hand, so as soon as they receive the inventory and get through other projects in their queue they will get your orders going. I will update you when they give me an official word as to anticipated start and end dates.
- Europe: As of December 8, our inventory for Europe is on a boat headed for Greece. From there the inventory will be trucked up to our Germany warehouse. I will keep you posted as I hear specific timeframes to expect.
- Asia: Complete!
- Australia: Complete!
That's it for now - have a safe and happy holiday season!
PROJECT UPDATE
Project Update: Halloween shipping update
Happy Halloween!
Here's the latest update on the shipping status per region:
- US: The inventory is on a boat headed for US shores. Then it needs to make its way through customs and such, and then will head to our warehouse. I will keep you posted as things get closer!
- Canada: As usual, once our US warehouse receives all the inventory they will peel off a sub-shipment to be sent up to our Canadian fulfillment location. So your timeline will be slightly longer than the US, but not far off.
- Europe: Hive Interactive is now in progress of consolidating our shipment with other publishers' inventory. It should soon set sail for Greece, and from there our inventory will be trucked up to our Germany warehouse. I will keep you posted as I hear specific timeframes to expect.
- Asia: Complete! Note that some countries in Asia experience a bit of a delay due to shipments to hubs, but VFI has sent out all packages at this point.
- Australia: Complete!
That's it for now - have a safe and happy Halloween!
Cheers!
PROJECT UPDATE
Project Update: September update
Happy September!
Want to give you all a quick update on the shipping status per region, so here we go:
- US: The inventory is hopping on the boat from China any day now. I'll wait until I hear an estimated landing date before I give any further details of what to expect.
- Canada: As usual, once our US warehouse receives all the inventory they will peel off a sub-shipment to be sent up to our Canadian fulfillment location. So your timeline will be slightly longer than the US, but not far off.
- Europe: We had a lot of logistical issues getting our ocean freight worked out for Europe, but we do have our plan in place at this point. Hive Interactive will be managing ocean freight consolidation between us and a few other publishers, and they expect the consolidated shipment to hop on a boat in about a month. I will keep you posted as this progresses.
- Asia: Shipments should begin over the next 2-4 weeks, although please keep in mind that for many Asian countries VFI sends inventory to hubs that can take longer to process. But they should be receiving the last cartons they need to start fulfillment any day now.
- Australia: Shipments should begin over the next 2-4 weeks. They should be receiving the last cartons they need to start fulfillment any day now.
That's it for now. As always, it's a bit of a waiting game, but suffice to say things are moving across the globe. Can't wait to tell you when your pledges start shipping to your door!
Cheers!
