Chaosium have a legendarily slow surface shipping method that lot of people use because it is free if you order more than a certain amount ($120 if I recall). It may take quite a while, but it always arrives. I have never known for an order to just not turn up. maybe you will get lucky and end up with twice your order

I placed an order with Chaosium on the 13th of February and it just arrived!That is just 9 days using USPS airmail letter post from California to the East Coast of Canada!Of course I have also experienced the opposite where I have had to send several emails and wait over two months.
jasonw1239 wrote:Al,I was not disagreeing with you about Chaosium's service.It sucks arse that a customer with a large order had to go public and have people lobby on his behalf before they would even answer his emails.As red_bus mentioned in an earlier postings a lot of the Call of Cthulhu forums have hoards of angry customers that are frustrated with this shenanigans.
red_bus wrote:Yes, Al, surface shouldn't take that long , but I remember from the Y-S.com posts about this issue, that people did regularly receive shipments from Chaosium three or four months after purchase. As did I once.

red_bus wrote:Too right. I wonder how much of their sales are to shops and how much to individuals - the two central London game shops that carry rpgs can't have more than 30 Call of Cthulhu items on their shelves in total (endless d20 though ) and some of that stuff is quite old too - but I am sure they have plenty of individual customers over here. maybe if they orientated themselves to more direct sales then their famous cash problems might start to improve too.
