I received mine two weeks ago.

Still waiting..

Brette:)

John's been blogging quite a bit on http://bravehalfling.com/ as to what the specific cause of the holdups are.  Not trying to defend him or the apparent slowness, just saying that there's at least been information flow roughly once a week.

According to the latest entry, it looks like the very last boxes will have shipped by April 30th at the latest.  Add some shipping time to that, and you should have your order in your hands by mid-May at the latest.  After May 15th I'd break out the pitchforks in earnest, but it looks like these are on their way.

Some of these are being shipped in Bubble mailers (according to the blog). That is a recipe for smashed corners and broken boxes.

I guess its too late to pay for the shipping through Paypal.  I don't know why more people don't use this.  I use it almost exclusively.  Printing shipping online often saves about 10% or so of the shipping cost.  On a hundred packages that's a fair bit of money.

I ordered mine on January 11th, and I just got an email from PayPal with the shipping notice yesterday (April 24th). So, I guess he is still working his way down the list.

Still no email since we talked about this more than a week ago..

I'm glad I didn't take a punt on this now...  

Hey guys, I had no idea you all had been talking about the WhiteBox Boxed Sets it in this thread or I would have kept you all up-to-date with the "box drama."

Like others have posted in this thread, I have been keeping folks up on all the delays and such on my website: www.bravehalfling.com, which as it was posted here, I had to move my site to when my original domain expired.

And many of you who did not find my new site have probably tried to contact me by an email address that does not exist ([email protected]) but seems to have been automatically generated by my site's shopping cart.

I don't like to do business like this and far too many things happened beyond my control, but everyone has a right to be angry. I have tried to be completely transparent about the whole situation and I am sending a free WhiteBox module with every one of the orders to try and make up for the far too long delay.

I could list all the hurdles I've had to jump in the last five months, but you can read them on my site. The last delay was that the company that had been supplying my shipping boxes went out of business and did not fulfill my last order, which is why the last 100 or so orders from January and March did not get shipped by the end April like I had promised. But now I have even better shipping boxes.

I would have emailed everyone about the delays, but I have not figured out how to do that through the paypal interface yet.

2/3rds of the orders have already shipped. The last few orders from January (around the 20th) and the orders from March are all going out over the next several days (sooner if I can).

Let me just say, the large number of sales of the WhiteBox Boxed Set far surpassed any of my expectations and the limited abilities of my one man, hobby publishing business.

Please feel free to contact me at [email protected] if you need more details.

US customers will get a confirmation email and a tracking number when your order ships and world-wide customers will just get the confirmation email that the order has shipped.

Again, I apologize for the far-to-long delay and for not finding this thread much earlier to help remain in contact with my friends at the Acaeum.
