They are expecting to receive by Friday and send out straight away. Good news!!!!:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

Status: offline 		I am told that all the "air" deleivery (overnight or foreign air) orders are on their way and we should have all the ground orders on their way by the end of the week.

Over half the products shipped are going over seas and becasue of the foresightedness of our shipping contractor, a customs offical went to the warhouse to pre-approve the (hundreds) of overseas orders.

All the distributor orders have gone out, C&B should have theirs by next week,though overseas distributors may take a bit longer.
The extra shipping step means distributers customers don't get theirs as fast as those who pre-order. We don't make as much either, but we understand the cost and convenience issue - a trade off of sorts we think is overall a win for all, even if you may have to wait an extra week or two....

We have also had our "classification" changed for customs purposes to hpefully reduce the chances that overseas customers get "surprise" duties and taxes. We obviously can't control teh rulings of individual foreign customs officials, but we are working closely withe the overseas shipping experts and US customs to ensure rapid and "surpriseless" shipping to the incredible number of overseas customers!! (especially Finland...why are there so many wargamers in Finland :D)

Thanks again for making us "the global grognard's friend" :)

Over 50% of the items is shipped outside the US!? Wow! I always thought it was something like 10% or less. Europe rules! Sorry that this does not show in the forums. But hey americans and canadians are much funnier anyway.

Finland!? Crap! I always thought Sweden was ahead in wargaming. Darn scandinavian neighbour.

Good luck Matrix and may you sell thousands of UV copies

Hi!

In Sweden everything over 30 US is taxed! Let me give you an expample of the fantastic:rolleyes: socialdemocracy that we call Sweden.

I ordered The Japanese Colonial Empire 1895-1945 for 32 bucks or something + 8 bucks shipping ( 40 ). Thats over 30 so I had to pay 25 swedish krona in tax which is not bad really for its about 2,5 bucks. But then I had to pay stupid handling fees to the customs and post office. So to pay for 25 krona I had to pay 125 krona ( 12,5 bucks ) and that includes the 2,5 bucks tax. So to pay 2,5 dollars I had to pay 10 dollars!! God bless socialism:rolleyes:

Question, when can I expect to get my copy.
Another question: my tracking orders page still shows the Order status: New. I'm really confused. I do live fairly close compared to all the people overseas so, shouldn't I get my order much faster? I guess I'm just anxious to get my copy.:D

Status: offline 		oh well..

it's nearly 9PM.. no update, still listed as "NEW" and I paid all that money for nothing. $74.00 for overnight service.. to watch everyone else get theirs first.

now it will be tomorrow before it ships.. if even then.

so it will be Friday earliest? I could have saved $30 if I had known.. could I have done anything different to have avoided this?

my account shows I have already paid the money, and the account shows Matirx has taken the moneyso I know thats not the issue.. just getting very frustrated and dissapointed.

no offense towards the matrix guys, I know they are trying their best, but it still sorta angers me to have wasted that money.

Status: offline 		Guys

The warehouse is in CA so 9:00pm here is only 6:00pm there. Once they are done all the updates on their systems they upload an update to us. As I said we can not promise all the orders will ship on the first few days. I just got off the phone with the warehouse almost all the orders shipped today so I expect to see a lot of updated shipping records tonight.

Anyone can check their own shipment as long as you know your MTX# and zip code if you do not then the link below will not work.

Check tomorrow morning. All the people who got theirs today didn't think they were shipped last night. Go to sleep, now. Calm down. It will be all right. My order says New, too. I ordered on May 1, also. Everything will be OK. Nothing to worry about. No reason to be all upset over something that probably has already shipped.....


:confused: My order says New???? ......What am I saying???? :mad: WHERE'S MY COPY!!! I want it now!!!

Should have ordered May 1. With the next day air, you'd have had it today. I'd be suirprised if it didn't go out today.

And appropriately enough for this game I live just down the road from Kure, the port where many of the mighty IJN ships were built...

Can't wait to get into it...

But of course those that had pre-ordered it on May 1st like I did, and have already paid for it on May 10th, and am still waiting for the email telling me that it has shipped (or at least Order Status & Tracking Service) telling me it has shipped...

Obviously first-in, first-out need not apply...

OK, don't make it sound like I'm jumping the queue or something :(

Obviously those who pre-ordered it should get it shipped out first - but then again I did have to pay $25 for shipping, so I would expect service as fast as this.

Well, David did say that they were going to fill all the pre-orders first. But since my May 1 pre-order still says "New", I guess this is not a happening thing...

Maybe a bit patience ? It has been stated more then once that the status updates are beeing made in batches and not in realtime ;). It´s possibly that is has allready shipped but your status isn´t updated yet.
