Shipping time
Just curious....

I ordered a bunch of stuff from the Spring Sale on 4/28. It was all stuff that was in stock. When should I expect to receive it? It's been 10 days since I placed the order. Is this typical/reasonable? I know it's a one man show and all, I'm just curious.

My earlier order came fairly quickly (well, the portion that was in stock). I have no idea when to expect the items that had to be printed and laser cut (Waltzing Matilda, etc.). What do you guys think?

RE: Shipping time
I'm thinking the special stuff like Waltzing Matilda, Nihon Silk and those are along the line of a pre-order to be shipped later in May if I understood correctly. If you have an order that is made up primarily of those items, it may take a bit.

Yeah I expect as much for that stuff. I ordered those (Waltzing Matilda, Nihon Silk, and others) on April 18, so I'm not concerned about them. I know they will take some time because they have to be printed. The stuff I ordered on the 28th as part of the Spring Sale is my real concern. Well, not really a concern, just a curiosity. These are stock items, so I figure they should come relatively quickly (as Saipan '44 did... it was part of the order I placed on the 18th).

Not holding my breath, just curious.

RE: Shipping time
Might be a bit of a delay since Conquest of Ethiopia is starting to ship meaning that there was a lot of receiving and collating going on!
No "minor" country left behind...

Hmmmm.... true. Priority is probably going to all those old pre-orders (as it should). Good reason!!! Thanks Matt

RE: Shipping time
My GWAS Destroyers countersheets should be on my desk today, per the post office tracking, this may be the first lost treasure item received, so I'd expect a couple more weeks before all of the treasures are in stock and shipping.

RE: Shipping time
Still waiting on my Conquest of Ethiopia- ordered 4/17, along with some Golden Journals and 1 x special (Mouse that roared). I am preparing to move, so need to either get it by 25 June or make sure APL has my new address. I emailed Mike with mthe Order info. Any comments/suggestions/knowledge?

RE: Shipping time
Ask your question in the Avalanche game company folder on Consimworld. Mike monitors that folder and usually responds with a day or two,

RE: Shipping time
And the shipping computer (per Mike) targets the most recent address when shipping old pre-orders. I'll probably be able to say that from personal experience when my Empires Fall shows up in (I'm hoping) August. I ordered it when it was a Classic Wargame proposal many years ago. Received the first half (August 1914) in 2010.
