Receiving books in time for Xmas?

Starting with the Summer 1943 invasions of Sicily and Italy and proceeding through the invasions of France and the drive into Germany, War in the West brings you all the Allied campaigns in Western Europe and the capability to re-fight the Western Front according to your plan.

Hi everyone,

I have an update for you on the physical copies.

Our US warehouse received the manuals on Friday and and began shipping immediately.

Our German warehouse received their books today and they should start shipping tomorrow.

So we are right on schedule and in the case of the US a few days ahead. Hopefully this means that, barring shipping company SNAFUs this time of year, you will all receive yours by Christmas.

Regards,

- Erik

Thanks for updating. Hopefully I'll get mine too before Christmas. In Denmark post after the 20th of December is a problem.

Fedex early today. Just got mine.
Looks really nice guys [&o], unfortunately before I could check it out more thoroughly the evil christmas witch saw it and promptly snatched it from my hands saying "That goes under the tree. Now get back to the kitchen remodel!" [:@]

Email says mine will be here Thursday. I live so far in the woods, maybe later, I am still on Santa's list.

Reminds me of that Christmas in the bunker.....

Do they ship USPS, UPS or FedEx?

I think I would like the book but I cannot be home for UPS or FedEx. USPS will leave it because they have a key for a locker (I live in a secure Condo buliding) but the others will not leave it.

Shipping is based entirely on what you chose as your shipping method when you placed the order.

The default sending method (and the cheapest) was USPS Ground Shipping.

I got an email today saying that I should expect to receive mine by January 8 (Canada). Oh well, maybe it's time for Canada Post to upgrade from horses with snowshoes...

I noticed on the product page says the books and physical media won't ship before December 17th. Is that just an estimate or the worst case? Trying to understand if the receipt of the material is likely before Xmas if using as a gift. Seems like it will be cutting things very close unless they ship earlier.
Mine came today. It's a large hardbound book, with the disc in a sleeve inside the cover. Very impressive!

It came. Thought I wouldn't but decided to have my wife wrap it up for Xmas and put it under the tree! Thought it took big huevos to publish a manual so fine for rules which are sure to change over time and was not sure I made the right decision buying it but one look at the beautiful book swept away all doubts.
