SUPER good news for folks in the US! I've been working with our US warehouse (The Game Crafter) for over a week to get to better rates for US backers. The key to this was getting much more granular: First I obtained exact rates for each of the 50 states, as well as surrounding islands, for each of the 19 different weight ranges. Then I was able to create a master table containing about 1000 cells with all the rate numbers, and then calculated the necessary fees and such for each one from there. In order to get all those exact rates, The Game Crafter had to do some special coding on their platform, since this is not how their normal Print-On-Demand business works. Huge thanks to JT and his crew helping us out with this - I'm very grateful for our partnership!

Suffice to say, we now have even more accurate numbers for all of the US, and in most states the result is that your final shipping is now a little bit cheaper. If you go back into your BackerKit survey you will see the new shipping amount already reflected.

NOTE: You do not need to do anything! No matter what, your new, correct shipping rate will be charged when we close the surveys and charge your cards in 9 days. 

NOTE: This update only applies to backers in the United States. All other regions already had as granular rates as we could get in place. 

This was a ton of work to do, but I'm thrilled that we could get the rates ratcheted down even more for you! Let me know any questions. 

In the meantime, we will be showing Widget's Workship and fulfilling orders at GenCon - if you could give this entry on BGG a thumbs up, we'd SUPER appreciate it!
