UK & EU & Worldwide Wintertime Groupbuy!

I am offering to do another group buy like I did with the previous promo pack (link here as a refresher), so register here if you are interested!

This groupbuy closes on Sunday 29th November

Now that we've passed the threshold of 20 members I've looked at estimating prices based on the number of packs ordered. There is a step up in the shipping cost every ten packs but the difference per pack is minimal with the quantity we are ordering. Numbers could end up a few pence out depending on final charges. We're at a point now where each additional backer is reducing the cost by about a penny so this is a good enough guideline to work from:

First copy
UK: £2.10
EU & Worldwide: £2.56
Each additional copy add £1.36

Note that this will be for the promos only in order not to push the shipping costs up. I'll maintain a list of participants below:

Had to update the estimated costs as the bulk shipping is actually $32.87 and not $40 as I initially thought so it just got a bit cheaper already!

I'd be up for this and am in the uk.

I'm intrested.

I'm from Italy

I'd also like to be included please. I'm in the UK.

Ooh, I'm up for this! UK here :)

Thanks for the initiative -again-! (first time went very smoothly)  

I'm in Belgium, thanks.

UK personage interested in your offer and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

I would also like to subscribe to this newsletter. I keep hearing such good things.

I'd be interested in getting multiple packs sent to Ireland.  Thank you!  :)

How many? I've put you down for two at the moment!

Sorry, I should have specified!  I'll take four.  My Sentinels-owning friends don't go out of their way to pick up promos but they're always happy to receive them by surprise.  :)

Put me down for 1 set, please.

Yay! More promos! I'll take some :D.

I'm in for this for sure - put me down for two packs two please. I'm UK-based.

Cheers!

Hej Mezike, Nice initiative!! You can count me in for one pack to the Netherlands. Thanks!

@Mezike

It is awesome that you are doing this. You rock.

Thanks for doing this again! I'm in with three packs to Germany

Count me in for one pack to Germany. Thanks

count me in for 1 pack to the netherlands.

what would the estemate be in total cost for me then?

This is awesome thanks. I will totally be jumping on this for two sets to UK. 

Thanks Mezike! You are awesome as always.

I'm in for one and provisionally another two packs, depending on what my friends say. I'll confirm Friday night, but the one for me is definitely definite.

I'll chip in for two packs, sent down to New Zealand.

Thanks for organising all of this Mezike!

I just thought, I’m gonna be needing a third pack.

Confirming that I'd like three packs total please.

I'm in for 5 packs to the EU (Germany).

Thanks muchly!

Just a reminder that this will close in a few hours time. As we're up to 65 packs I'll probably shut it down at midnight (if I'm awake) or firrst thing in the morning.

Julia, just to confirm - you aren't the same person as Evangelion on BGG are you? I don't want to accidentally double up on an order for five packs!

Nope, I'm a completly individual entity who just also happens to need 5 packs.

How else can you play with 5 Santa Guises, right?

And there was me thinking that 'five Ras' was game-breaking…

In other news, this multibuy is now closed! I have placed an order for rather a lot of cards.

Aw... I wanted to take two, for me and a friend, but couldn't contact the friend before today. Seeing as you said it closes at 29th, could you possibly ask whether you can add 2 more packs heading to PL? It's Sunday, I doubt they even started packing yet... And they do have a great customer service. Thanks in advance, this won't be the first time you make our day if you help us out :)

No worries! You're in!

A few people are messaging me here and on the Geek asking for a status update and/or payment details.

The order was placed on 30th Nov; >G seem to be very busy in their warehouse at the moment and order status isn't always being updated, so it may or may not have shipped out yet. Unless it suddenly arrives in the next day or two it is therefore extremely unlikely that I will be able to make the cut-off deadline for Christmas post, so expect to get your cards in January.

I am waiting for the parcel to arrive before I ask for payments from anyone, so please be patient and I will update you all with further details soon enough!

The parcel is here! Well, almost sort of. The bad news is that it was unsurprisingly held in customs and walloped with a nearly £40 charge for VAT and handling. Fortunately there are so many things in that box that the impact per set of cards is minimal. The delivery should finally come through on Thursday so I can start packing and shipping over the weekend!

The final price (including purchase price, transaction fees, shipping, and customs charges) comes to £1.76 per pack of cards plus P&P. Please refer to the list below for how much you need to send to me in total as payment - if you are not on the list below I will contact you directly.

Please send payments via PayPal to m3zik3 and this is at gmail dot com. Remember to send as a gift or cover the fees at your end if you are feeling generous toward PayPal. Please ensure that you include both your username and your postal details in the payment so that I can process the shipping quickly and easily!

I thought the whole hoo-ha with Wrath was to sort out EU buyers not having to pay the customs fees? Admittedly, I'm sleep deprived at the minute so I could be misremembering. At least I know I'll have to sort it out tomorrow when I get home because theoretically I'll have a letter or similar telling me to pay up.

Webstore orders like this don't come with the EU friendly guarantee, it looks like it went via USPS as Parcelforce are the carrier at this end. Their KS ship EU friendly, can't remember if the pre order had the same guarantee but I would have thought so as my understanding is that they go in a bulk lot across the Atlantic before being distributed to private addresses from within the EU.

Thanks a million, Mezike.  :)

Thanks man!

Cheers Mezike! I've just sent the funds your way - I'll PM you my address details.

You're the man. Happy new year!

Payment sent, let me know if you need any more info! Thanks again :)

@Mezike

The pre-order is EU friendly. We can only employ our EU friendly method if the number of parcels we are shipping to the EU simultaneously is sufficiently large, as is the case with Kickstarters and preorders.

Payment sent Mezike, thanks for all your work in making this happen.

Everything is ok with our payment? We always got problems with that.

Mine just arrived. Thanks again for organising all this Mezike, much appreciated.

Mine turned up today, perfect condition :D

When I got home today I had a padded envelope waiting for me, after checking to make sure it was not a precursor to being sent to a padded cell I opened it to find Sentinels promos inside.

Three cheers for Mezike

Hip Hip...

…Cabbages?

…Replacement?

…a hop, and you don't stop a rock it, to the bang bang boogie, say up jump the boogie, to the rhythm of the boogie, the beat?

Glad to hear that cards are arriving in the UK - EU recipients shouldn't be far behind. It was my pleasure to do a little favour for you all

It's obviously taking a bit longer to get to me in t'frozen North...

… or not. Mine arrived five minutes after I posted this. Yay! Thanks Mezike!

I just walked in and had a padded envelope thrust at me causing great joy.  BTW Mezike, of you want any first class stamps for any future groupbuys like this just let me know.

Are you planning on robbing a Post Office? I know you love this game, but that might be taking things to somewhat of an extreme.

Lol, not quite, my mother works for the post office so gets some sheets of free first class stamps at christmas.

Mine was waiting for me on the doormat when I got home - as I wasn't expecting anything in the post I was able to work out what it was before I opened it :D.

Mine arrived today too.  Thank you, Mezike! 

The padded envelope was the perfect size for the cards.  I didn't realise such envelopes came that small.  Being small, it kept them secure without allowing room for them to shift around and get damaged.  They're all in perfect condition.  You're a star.

Promo-pack arrived safely in the Netherlands. Thanks a lot Mezike!
