Captain's package arrived just now... now for the invoice....
Looks like up and down the east coast from the responses. Hopefully will be spreading all over.
just opened the box!!!! can't wait to get started, BUT am going out of town tonight won't get a chance till monday
£15 (or about $22) to the UK and probably similar amounts to other EU countries. And that includes the shipping. There is a hefty "handling charge" that is applied to each levy, so if they send two packages and the customs hit them both then you pay the handling charge twice
My bet is that Bruce and myself will be the last out, along with anybody else that tossed on a metric BUTTload of add-ons...
My mat came today as a separate order. The rest arrived yesterday when the site was still down.
It all appears very well done. :hatsoff:
I'm green I tell you, green green green and it isnt sea sickness :envy::envy::envy::envy:
But seriously, congratulations to those of you who have received your packs. I'm still waitng for notificaton from my US postal handler in Florida, the silence is intolerable. Then another week or so if I ship it straight away at a hefty premium...oh well i picked up a KS Ogre with a damaged box for $50 so it's not all gloom and doom! Plus I managed to get a couple of my "Holy Grail" wargame wants, an unpunched War in Europe and Campaign for North Africa both from SPI (those of you who know will understand) so i'm like a pig in .... at the moment :thumbsup:
Great news that the fist packages reached the KS members.
So some of us can spend Christmas "on board".
Just a quick fyi for anyone who might want to contact Ares. They're offices are closed until January 7th. I suppose someone might be checking email, but I rather doubt it.

I just received the following information from Ares,
Please find here the current tracking number of your Sails of Glory shipment.
If “N/A” is indicated, your rewards have not shipped yet.
Tracking for Pledge-level renard bundle:
N/A
Tracking for options and game mats:
N/A
We will provide tracking information again to everybody on December, 27th
Same thing here, Ed. And I just had to blast out a Red Alert re some possible glitches on the Wave 2 ship names...
I haven't seen the alert but is it something that can be corrected with new cards?
Ed, I mean I just flashed it off to Ares. It's just a minor thing, an issue of translation where I's and Y's got reversed.
Christmas is cancelled!
And, good news, just got a reply to my freaked-out panic note from Roberto, already tagged and fixed.
Me too. No ships for Christmas, which was pretty much what I expected. Oh well, back to my Langton 1/1200's. :-)
N/A is the message I received.
I have some WoW ebay offerings due any day, so, hopefully, something will be under the tree.
No surprise that I am in the N/A boat as well.
Now that the first to receive their package has been determined, perhaps we should be comparing notes to see who gets theirs last.
Individuals outside of North America will probably be last although there may be some packages here that have already bounced back to the warehouse as un-deliverable if the KS posts are accurate? Larger complex pledge orders might also be near the very end, which I know from other posts impacts a couple of folks here. It would not surprise me that any of the "Admiral" level pledgers also get products near the tail end of shipping?
I did see that Ares will not be doing any retail distribution until January; presumably meaning that all KS people will have their ships in hand by then?
Everyone should be receiving an automated e-mail containing a tracking number. Mine arrived today with N/A, which it said meant that it had not yet been shipped.
Got a tracking number for my Capt level pledge but N/A on the mats. I ordered 1 extra mat. I'm in Seattle, Wa. Delivery from UPS is scheduled for Tues Dec. 24. Looks like deliveries are gonna make the west coast after all .
Not yet. I too got the dreaded "NA" blast. If they are going by survey receipt order I am in trouble as mine was sent back late due to a junk mail issue.
No worries though, I am working on a big X-Wing Death Star trench run game for 12/26th. It is our annual kids Christmas game.

Just saw this review of the SoG KS on BGG: http://boardgamegeek.com/blogpost/25...-kickstarter-2
Yeah, just saw the same thing. Im inclined to agree with the guy. I'm highly unimpressed with their lying about internatinal shipping, using this new cheaper postage it could take another 5 weeks postage to those of us outside the US. This Keith guy has a lot of good points, Ares has been keeping us on edge about this for months by using misinformation.
He evidently does not watch very many KS projects. Delays, bungled communication, and shipping problems are the norm. And although SoG has been running behind schedule, it is no where near as bad as some others I've seen. I have no doubts or concerns with this KS project that I will eventually receive a quality product. I don't know what it is about Europe, particularly the UK which seems to get everything way behind everyone else. It seems I'm reading all the time about bad shipping problems with KS projects and anything else that has to be shipped there.
Keith compared SOG to a board game without models what a joke. We also would have had the SOG months ago if it didn't have models. The making of good looking models that are painted well is not easy if it was there wouldn't be companies in Sri Lanka and Chine that paint miniatures for pay.
