[wahnwind]

Hi,

Ordered 23.03.

Shipped 29.04.


Delivery 05.05. via DPD with notification.


Very beautiful manual.

The outer hull of the package was damaged but inside there is another layer of bubble wrap.

Ordered 22.3 and no shipping notification yet, disappointing. Hopefully don't have to wait till June.

I ordered on 14.3 and received the notification mail on 28.4, but i had to check the spam folder

[briklebritt]

I received the notification mail 2 days ago, living in Germany. I was hoping to get a tracking id, but none.
Has somebody already received its book here in germany and how long did it take to send?

Just checked my spam, sure enough WITE2 shipped 29.4. Also inbound WITW and WITPAE - 1 man WW2 here we come. Don't imagine I can keep up with YT Stategy Gaming Dojo's Grand Coulee Dam flow rate though - does that guy ever sleep?! [X(].

You're not going to get much sleep if you're trying to tackle all three of those at once... [;)]

My book and CD arrived today through international post. What a work of art (and science [:)]). You guys are legends. [&o][&o][&o]
This game is such a quantum step up from WITE and WITW. Kudos to your efforts. BTW I love the game, greatly enjoying it.

No intention of that, going to focus on WITE2. Just nice to have versions of the other that I could actually setup and play sometime. And there's of course completeness OCD. Lots of training for the latter being an Advanced Squad Leader person . . . [:)]

My order has been shipped april 15th (on which occasion I received a notification) and arrived april 27th.
It was pre-ordered.
Hope yours arrives soon, it is well worth the wait!

Mine finally arrived in the post today, sent 15 April & arrived 4 May, not too bad considering the distance it had to travel.

[KenchiSulla]

Received the book, nice print!

[andreacento]

I also received the manual today.

I admit: it's amazing! For the work done, the attention to details, and the overall quality, the manual alone deserves the price of the whole game.

Great to hear! Mine will be here Monday!

Mine arrived! FedEx took their sweet time with it once it came to the US, but it's made it. It's gorgeous! My only disappointment was that despite being wrapped quite well in bubble wrap, the corners are pretty beaten up. Woulda chipped in a little bit extra money to have had it packed in a proper box. I'm supposing that nowadays, shipping for that would be exorbitant, but still. In any event, considering it's journey from the UK to the middle-ish of the US, and what it came in, I'm overall quite "chuffed". I think I used that properly? Anyway. Kudos to loki & co.

Got mine today as well! And yeah I can tell it has been on boats and planes from China to UK to US as it is well traveled and not in perfect condition but luckily well bubble wrapped. It is a beauty of a manual though!

[Malichite]

Same as many others, the manual itself is gorgeous, but several major dents/dings to the cover. I mean at over $35+ dollars shipping I expected more than a book wrapped once with a bubble wrap sheet and slid into those international express mail envelopes. Basically the edges of those mailing envelopes get banged and shredded as it goes through the international mail sorting facilities, thank goodness it didn't include a DVD game case or that would have come in fragments.

I raised this issue with Matrix last year when I had a similar experience with World in Flames books and a physical version of Armored Brigade that was so damaged I was sent replacements. Even after the first issue, those replacements were sent the exact same way with no additional protection nor any option for me to pay extra for better packaging, so they were also damaged just not as badly as the first time.

I guess I had hoped that with the addition $$$ shipping costs this time and my past experience with War in the East/West Book versions that it would at least come protected in those book size boxes, but I guess this is going to have to be the last physical version I spend extra on until Matrix/Slitherine address their poor international packaging. I don't expect the condition of new items to be such a dice roll, especially when in years past I've ordered many physical editions of Matrix games that actually used to ship in boxes and while it may have taken a bit to arrive, they always arrived with the contents intact and undamaged.

Canada. Ordered Mar 5 arrived May 6. No damage. Excellent quality - well worth the money.

[Naughteous Maximus]

I guess you guys are lucky. I don't know what the time delay from ordering the game and getting the book, but I hope I get it before the year is out.

Manual arrived the other day, very impressive and well done. Slight damage consisting of a one inch tear in the upper left of the cover where it folds when opened that is only on the exterior tan colored part. Was surprised because the packaging and bubble wrap showed no damage at all in that area and was in very good condition. Kudos to the manual team [:)]. Thank you!
