Shipping Update

We have completed shipping for today (Sep. 30th). All orders place through May 8, 2006 have now shipped.

We were expecting, after yesterdays shipments, to only get through April 15th, so this is good news. Of course, we started at 2:30 this morning .

We are now working on Monday's shipments.

One other thing, we have heard from a few people who ordered yesterday that they shouldn't have, because their order won't ship until late next week, they should have just waited. Let me just say that that is a bad idea (if you are anxiously waiting to play Dominions 3, that is) for two reasons. First, we are moving ahead of schedule and that is a good thing (and we hope it continues!). And second, we had a net gain in shipments of less than 75 units based on the huge number of orders for yesterday. Wait and it may just be that much longer before your order ships. We promise, we are working almost around the clock to get the orders out, but this is a big release and it could take a while to get caught up what with the amount of new orders coming in.

Cheers!

So close... I ordered mine May 13, missed today's shipping by 5 days. Oh well, delivery on Monday, hopefully by Tuesday or Wednesday next week it'll be in my eager hands. Can't wait!!

My guess for total pre-orders was 1675 units (nice round number).

Tim, Annette and the rest of Shrapnel:

Thank's for working hard to get these orders out as quickly as possible. Please make sure your shipping / receiving guys get this thank you too.

Hope you all have had an excellent weekend and are ready for another shipping day on Monday!

I'll second the thanks to shrapnel (special thanks to Annette for your prompt reply!). You guys rock!!!

Tim, would it be possible for me to just stop by with my Paypal and GamersFront receipt and pick my copy up? It would be one less package for you guys to have to ship. If so, what hours on what day would it be possible? I can even send an email or call ahead of time so that someone has it ready and doesn't have to stop their hard work to take care of me. Oh yeah, I'm looking for extra work too, so you could pay me a couple $$ and I could help ship them faster. Okay, that last part was a joke (but not really...)

=$= Big J Money =$=

Is there going to be a discount for those of us who were considerate enough not to pre-order 'cause we didn't want to add to the overwhelming deluge?

( Ordering mine around, mmm, the 6th, after you should have caught up )

It's 20, 000. I tellya.

Il'll be great but I can't see Tim&Annette, even with some dwarf/gnome/whatever help, packaging 5,000 copies *a day* !!
I'd say total around 4,000, problably a tad less, pretty good for an indy "niche" game.

I second that. You are a great team and I'm really glad you are IWs publisher.
In this time when quality strategy PC games are becoming (imo) a niche, you are one of the few publishers that only publish quality strategy games, with the manual, with care for the costumers and developers, so my thanks (and hopes for more great games in the future) goes to you.
