archermoo Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 My copies were waiting for me when I got home tonight. So the books are out in the wild, as Tina and Jason dig their way through the orders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prestidigitator Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Re: And 6e print books start to arrive I got mine! I got mine! Wooooo hooooooooo! And my first impression is that the quality kicks ass. The covers look even better than that preview showed. Nice and clean. The books are hefty, but each not quite as big as 5ER. The pages are thick and glossy and look like they'll stand up to a lot of abuse. Time will tell on the bindings, but I'm hopeful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Waters Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Re: And 6e print books start to arrive **sigh** we're having a postal strike. Even if they do make it across the briney, they'll be sitting at a sorting office until the post gets moving again. Assuming customs don;t decide they are WMDs or something: It says on here you can use these to build anything... Anyway, congratulations to those already in receipt, and fervent hopes for a swift delivery for those not as yet. May your contentment radiation enhance the world. It might cancel out my frustration radiation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prestidigitator Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Re: And 6e print books start to arrive Assuming customs don;t decide they are WMDs or something.... Hey, they got through the US's customs. Any other country's will be a breeze, I bet. Well, except I suppose our security is more for the benefit of frightening our populace than actually catching anything. A couple of years ago I accidentally carried my pocket knife on flights to the East Coast and back again without incident. I didn't even realize I had it until I got off the plane on the way home (at which point I nearly had a heart attack ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Desmarais Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Re: And 6e print books start to arrive No books for me yet. Tina doesn't love me anymore. Of course, you probably ordered your's before me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archermoo Posted October 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Re: And 6e print books start to arrive Hopefully mine will arrive early next week' date=' I'm hoping on Monday.[/quote'] Yeah, looks like you are a 3 day zone from the warehouse, while I'm a 1 day. If yours shipped the same day as mine (not an unreasonable assumption since you placed my order at the same time you placed yours) it looks like Monday is when you'd get it.

I had 8 Copies to get, had to make sure it wasn't sold out! Yeah, 3-4 days is the typical ship time from the warehouse for me. If I'm lucky I'll get them on Saturday.

Yeah, 3-4 days is the typical ship time from the warehouse for me. If I'm lucky I'll get them on Saturday. That would depend on whether it was sent USPS or UPS I'd guess. Mine was sent UPS, but I think Tina was planning on sending out most of the GenCon preorders via USPS. If for no other reason than that would allow her to just use the order cards as the mailing labels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Watts Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Re: And 6e print books start to arrive Doesn't matter what day during Gencon you placed the order, those all came home together. All the Gencons were I believe at the front of the line, though, followed immediately by e-store preorders. It's much more about where you live, though- after all, UPS only picks up once a day, so if your order got boxed at 10 am or 4 pm it's going on the same truck. dw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobGreenwade Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Re: And 6e print books start to arrive I put in my order the weekend after GenCon, so I figure that, realistically speaking, mine will probably arrive early next week. (At least, I won't start getting impatient until at least Wednesday or Thursday.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
