Hey, all,
I was emailing George this morning about a few things. He got back to me with the following:
Also, in the last several months, the USPS has changed their shipping and has allowed first class mail to go through instead of just priority mail. As a result, shipping a game to UK or Japan, or other places is now just $5 shipping instead of previously being about $30 or more (priority mail only).
So for all of our overseas friends who have despaired of ordering from us because of the outrageous fees, the worm has tuned!
I am note sure how much more abuse our package will take in First Class Shipping vs. Priority, but hopefully not much, and we now have a $5 shipping option for you!

Have you looked into shipping it Media Mail? If I remember correctly, there used to be a substantial savings using it.

Not sure, araman. I imagine George looked at all available options, as we have had a lot of requests for alternate shipping methods. Thanks, I'll pass it along to George.

Whoah! This is great news. I had bought most of my DCG modules from Noble Knight Games due to the lower shipping (especially as I could combine the DCG stuff with other game purchases into a big semi-annual lot). But now I'll buy direct!

Excuse me, but where exactly do you go in the site to order? When you press the "add to cart" button you are immediately directed to PayPal. How can you possibly add the shipping costs and address details? I contacted you in the past about it with no result. I was not registered then, but now that I am looking for answers to my questions about the LoAW rules to begin with the system, I came across this thread. Living in Europe, there was no other option than ordering from a European location via bgg market. This is how I managed to buy the two adventures I ‘ve got. Noble Knight Games might be another option but with high shipping expenses (16$).
Thanks

Logging in will not automatically submit the order. I'm in the US so I don't know if the $5 shipping mentioned above is still applicable. Shipping for me was $3 for one adventure. If you don't already have a shipping address setup in Paypal, it should prompt for that as well. It may be best to go ahead and setup your Paypal account, shipping address, etc. before trying to make the actual purchase ("add to cart").

Thank you! I checked it out and it is as you said. I think the usual is to have the total amount due including shipping defined before being transferred to PayPal. Anyway, oversees players have the opportunity to order the game they choose. Additionally the shipping cost is only 6$.

So I just bought 4 adventures for shipping to Scotland. How long do the international shipments usually take?

Hey, tywyll,
Thanks, and welcome to the forums!
Honestly, I have no idea how long it takes to ship to any international destination. We have several international customers, but I don't recall them ever posting on here how long it took to receive their package.
The one thing I can promise is that George will get them out to immediately!
If you can post here when you get the games, we can maybe use that as a baseline for ourselves and other customers.
Thanks again!
Bret

I will try to remember to do that! I got my books yesterday! Very happy though I was disappointed that two of them didn't have maps in the back. As someone who is going to GM them, maps are invaluable to me. A weird aside about shipping. I know international shipping is stupid expensive but...when I ordered four modules, the total was $12. When I tried to order a fifth, it jumped to $60!?!? I don't know if that was an error or what, but it definitely stopped me from getting any more!

Hey, tywyll,
Thanks for letting us know they arrived! Looks like about a week to get to you.
Maps - I would love to put maps in all of our books. The maps that we have done have been done by my Mom. I'm not certain that George is a fan or not. I know at one time he felt they gave too much away to those playing solitaire, while I felt they could help people who were stuck, or being a Judge as yourself. Let me know which two you got without maps, and we'll see what we can do. Maybe make a couple quick and have them as a download here or at the main DCG website.
Strange that shipping would bounce up that high - I'll pass it on to George and see if we have a glitch somewhere, or if the weight of 5 does indeed break into a different level.
Thanks again!
Bret

Bret Thanks! I believe the two were Upon the Wind and Into the Underworld. I also am not clear what point value they are for? I would live it if you guys published just legit modules. O would so eat that stuff up!
