Got a mailing notification as well.
Really looking forward to seeing the boxes arrive.

It will be fun going through my stuff trying to decide what/who gets a new storage home out of my collection.

As an aside: I kind of wish a label system had been added.
Something wherein a collector could list the contents of the boxes on a small piece of paper (or card) and place that inside a small plastic view pocket.
After all, the only reason for these boxes to exist is for use as storage for your RPG stuff (or something else).
If you only have one box maybe that wont be a problem.
But if you have a bunch of them (as I am sure some of you will) how would you keep all of them and the contents of each box sorted?
Anyone have ideas on how to do this without risking damage to the box(es)?
I have a label maker, but fear the sticky will affect the box finish; perhaps even tear it at some point if left on for a long time.

Jason Vey (who also knows a thing or two about boxes) has posted a review of BHP's Old-School Game Boxes (both the Erol Otus & Pete Mullen covers).

His only complaint? "The fact that you can put so much into them."

I'll take that kind of constructive criticism.

I didn't get a shipping notice.
I'll pm you the email address that I thought I'd given when I ordered.

Thanks,
Keith.

Hey Keith, I have an order for a Delving Deeper RPG Boxed Set from November 15, 2011, but no orders under those emails for an Old-School Game Box.

it's as you say - it was posted on these boards, though I can't find the post. (I never frequent any other rpg boards, so I'm pretty certain of this)

I received mine today also (just the Otus box, which is all I expected). I do recall the mention of possible extras, but I only remember it being brought up as a possibility, not a promise. I was unable to remove my box from the packing box without the shrinkwrap ripping, just so you know. Not that I intended to keep it in the shrinkwrap (what's the point of an empty box in S/W? LOL). I don't have anything in it so far; still deciding between a few things. The Otus artwork looks great! especially on the black background; some of the best work he's done lately. If this had been the print for the Acaeum EO project, I would have bought one in a heartbeat!

It looks like all of the box orders have shipped except for several that were purchased between November 12-15. I am not sure why these orders did not show up in paypal when I double-checked all the orders from November a week ago Wednesday. These will all ship out with an extra Mullen cover box on Wednesday (I have to take the family to the Zoo on Tuesday for Spring Break).

This exactly why I started printing out each new order and sending a confirmation email with 48 hours of each new purchase this month. Sometimes I get smarter.

All the boxes I ordered arrived yesterday (plus one).
I am pleased with all of the storage boxes I got and all are in minty condition despite the difficult extraction from the shipping boxes.
Honestly I think it might have been good that they are tight fits...
Less likelyhood of damage in transit if not bouncing about in empty extra shipping space?

For me also, the storage box in the smaller shipping box was VERY tight and difficult to remove.
And for that storage box the SW did not survive the removal from the smaller shipping box.
But I did not care as the SW was never gonna stay on anyway.
I am adding my info about that situation in case someone here bought them to keep pristine and in the SW vault.
(at the moment no one here comes to mind who is like that...)  
I suspect a more patient person could extract the storage boxes without incident.
The larger shipping box had enough extra space inside to allow the items to be removed much easier.

(Assuming it happens)
For the second Prints of these storage boxes would you consider adding in some way to list a collectors contents on the outside of the boxes?
So that we would not need to pull the box off the shelf and open it up to check what we stored in them 10 years ago?

Into the belly of the beast I go to track down my package and find out where they may have delivered it... or failed to. I swear I've got the two worst delivery persons I've had in my life right now, one at home and one at work. Danged government guaranteed jobs... no one to even complain to.

Did they show up yet?

Hi John,  I hope you're still monitoring this tread, I sent you an email a few days ago asking about my order from November, would you please provide an update?

Thanks in advance.
