Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Huzzah for the shipping department! I can hardly wait for my copy to arrive.

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Well, I'm a lurker on shrapnel forums since I discovered dominions 2, but din't register until now.

I'm afraid that I will start with a question for Shrapnel : what about gmes ordered with tuxgames.com ?

I can't find any information on their website on my order except that my payment has been validated.

Living in France, I ordered with them as advised on this forum for Europe, but even if shipment is supposed to be faster, If they didn't received a special treatment and must themselves wait for the game to arrive, I fear I won't even have the game this week or worse.

Can you confirm if they already have the game or not (at least if they have received some - if they didn't get enought and there's delay for some orders because of that, it's another problem) ?

What worry me is that dom3 is still listed in their "coming soon" section with "Availability Expected 02 Oct 2006", with no update since.

Is there someone on this forum ordered with them and has since received the game (or any information) ?

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

I'd write something clever here, but I'm too busy monkeying with my new copy of Dominions 3.

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Jack_Trowell:

We didn't advise anyone to order from any specific reseller.

As of this post, they have not even placed an order, although it is our understanding that they intend to do so.

As to when will a reseller have their games, we ship orders in the order they are recieved. This applies to resellers also.

Curses. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/mad.gif
Mine shipped Saturday morning and it is now Tuesday and still no package waiting for me. I will try not to panic until tomorrow afternoon. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Ouch! They have an Impulse Buy option, and they don't even placed an order to get Doms 3. copies?! This is very odd if you ask me. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/Injured.gif

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

I don't know that specific website, but as for other websites I frequent, the impulse buy has nothing to do with shipping. It has to do with speeding up the ordering process. Rather than adding an item to you cart, then checking out, then filling out information and clicking on confirmation pages, you click one button and the order is processed immediately. I'm not saying this is the case with tuxgames, but I thought I'd present the possibility.

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Ouch ! I was afraid of that. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/rant.gif

Thanks for the information, at least I won't lose time checking madly my mailbox this week. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/fear.gif

Hopefully the demo will be out soon ! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

hi guys!

I have just seen that Dominions 3 has gone gold. What is the most efficient way for a European to get it???
I am so excited!!!

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

You can get it from UK: www.tuxgames.com

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Um, but tuxgames hasn't got it yet.

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

It can't be that long 'till they have it.

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Exactly. You might want to order it directly from Shrapnel Games. They'll process the orders in the order they get them, but at least they already have the games they're selling...

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

My copy arrived yesterday, but the inept postman couldn't figure out how to get into my flat and returned it to the depot.
So I picked it up on the way to work. Guess how much productivity just fell http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Oh, good news for my fellow brits too - no customs duty, despite it having been returned to the depot. Guess either customs are asleep, or no duty is due.

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

lol,
I was sitting here eating my lunch, reading this thread and pouting because my copy had not arrived yet. Heard a rustle at the door and realized that the postman was just running late! Yippeeeee! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Congrats. Post impressions when you come up for air. ;-)

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

At tuxgames, don't they only sell Linux-based games?

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Shipping Update

Are you tired of me yet? Sounds like the games are arriving! Glad that is happening. I know you all have been anxiously awaiting those CDs.

Okay another day is done and we are into orders for October 2nd. We will finish up the second tomorrow and get as far along as possible...

Cheers.

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Ah, so my (ok, atul's) order will most likely be processed tomorrow. Good good. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

The CD contains Linux, mac and windows installer.

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Ah great since I just bought an iMac, I can use D3 witout having to switch to Windows! Ok, I guess I will order it...now!!!

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

They only sell linux-based games, but thats not quite the same as games that will only run on linux. Any game that can run on linux is in their scope. I greatly appreciate them limiting the view the way the do.

By the way, got my second copy today also. Thanks Shrapnel.

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

I don't understand one point: when I am in my shopping basket, I see "These games are only for use with the Linux operating system."

Does it mean they provide only the Linux installer???

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

I doubt their warning message changes with the games you choose.

It's fair warning, since some of the stuff they sell is Linux-only versions of games that already appear on other platforms. There's the slight risk of a user who's looking for a such a game not realizing that he's getting one for the wrong OS. With this one, it's not applicable, because the official distribution is multiplatform.

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Nerfix:

We are printing the packing lists for tomorrows shipments and jsut noticed an order going to Hyvinkää, Finland. So I'd say yours will ship tomorrow. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Tim,

Just your daily reminder: Your company rules. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Wonderful! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Um, btw, did the addres end with 98 or 93? I made, ah, err, an error when I gave atul my addres and he then tried to fix the error through Gamer's Front. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/fear.gif

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Heh, I was going to post the exactly same question. It occured too late to me that the customer service forms are for logged in people only and if you buy stuff without logging in you're autologged into an anonymous login.

(buy on anon login, get very worried message, ask for a modification via the system while logged on as anon, close the browser, get a note that your file has been updated, try to log in to see what's new, fail miserably, argh) Messing up is a form of art nowadays. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Yes, we completed your customer support ticket yesterday. I'm sorry you weren't able to retrieve our response. I've just verified from the packing list that the address printed ending in 93.

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Ahhhh great. =)

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Great. Sorry for the mess, thanks for your patience and, as previously said, you people rock. :>

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

The pleasure is ours. YOU are the ones who rock!

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Yeah, Shrapnel and Illwinter are awesome. :3

Hey, do you have any idea how long it will take for it to arrive with the faster delivery option?

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Got it today, in one of the first batches to reach the Old Continent ! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif


The manual is unbelievably thick and informative, a biiiiig step forward indeed ! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Good work IW, Shrapnel and Bruce Geryk !

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Okay, so the next one should be mine. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif
Tomorrow! I just FEEL IT! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Yay, I ordered the game!
After Annete said delivery to Israel costs 7$ I was surprised to see it costing only 5$ (for Global Priority. What's the difference between that and "airmail parcel" anyway?)




Then I noticed I was so dumb I put it on the First Name in the Last Name field, and vice versa.(Or maybe that was a computer error) And I only noticed that after I finished everything and got the "Invoice" thingey.
I hope that's not a problem, but either way I got a support ticked over at GamersFront.
Don't suppose a Tim or an Annete could pop by here and give me an answer earlier http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif (My ticket number was a thousand and something, so I'm guessing it will take a while for an answer :|).

And keep your eyes on deliveries to Ramat Gan, make sure I get one of the unsoiled copies http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

I just got home from work. Only had a chance to browse the manual while running the installation. Haven't even played yet. While flipping through the manual to get a feel for it I noticed a paragraph on page 4 that left me scratching my head for a moment:

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

The manual looks fantastic! Thank you Shrapnel & Illwinter!

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Oi! I SO want that manual! I'm already in love with it!

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Hehe http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Airmail usually takes one or two days, then it depends on your postal system.

Mind you, mine made it here quicker than it would have done if someone posted it from within the UK. Maybe they sent it by Cloud Trapeze rather than aircraft!

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

yeah, ordered (early) Sunday morning and it shipped today...

I hope no later then Saturday!!

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Got it!! Arrived home from work to see it stuffed in my mail box. I've installed it and ready to start playing... or should I eat first while reading the manual. Eat?!? Who can eat when the game is up and running and begging to play??

Great job IW/Shrapnel, we love you!
(er, in a platonic way, you know what I mean http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif )

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

My order -- shipped Monday morning -- has arrived in the Bear Republic via USPS. Spiffy.

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

I'm pretty sure it's usually 4 to 7 days to Finland. You can check at the USPS website Click on calculate postage, then international. There's a pull-down member to select your country. Select "package" and you should see a list of delivery types and the estimated time of delivery.

I've verified that customer support completed your ticket yesterday. Your order is in good standing and your first and last name will appear properly on the shipping label.

Thanks for using our online customer support center, guys. It's much quicker and reliable than waiting for us to pop in here!

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Alright then, so it will be here next week then. WEll, I have time to write that demo guide then. =)

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Cool, thanks Annette!

Hehe, now I feel like a hero for messing up my own order http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

My Dominions_3 game was sent Monday and arrived Wednesday(yesterday). I also live in Arizona just to give others an idea of when they can expect their package to arrive.

One other important detail no one has mentioned which had my heart stop for a minute... the DOM_3 CD is inside the shrink wrapped manual. So when you open your package don't fear the CD didn't arrive until you look inside the manual.

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Mine was also sent on Monday and arrived today... ...so, 3 days from USA to Finland, quite fast.

There was even a hand written error code on the address and a comment (in Finnish, of course) "Door to street locked". I just wonder how the delivery guy bypassed that obstacle when performing his duty.

Installing now...
