Really? I usually have shipping with T&T within the Netherlands for around 6-10€
Even shipping some games to the UK has been around that. It gets more expensive with more weight, but these dont weigh that much

Yeah indeed. I do it mostly with UPS for 4,50 from shop to shop(2kg package). It's cheaper and you can decide when you get the package from there, (NL, UK, BE, Germany and all other europe countries...) But for Xander it's a little bit further ::)

I've been away at a conference in Monterey California and timed a delivery from an OLGS for my return.

Some long awaited pre-orders arrived, with a few little extras.

Wanna play Carc? Can we add just one more expansion?

Ebay, CundCo and Spielbox have failed me, it's been more than two months and i still haven't received any of they shipments, I have been forced to have to make several controversies in PayPal  :'(

I can't ship anything to Brazil or Chile because of the extreme tax and customs laws.  Perhaps these problems aren't well known to Cundco and Spielbox.

Were your packages never shipped? Or are they perhaps stuck in customs?

Xanderx12, i just remembered i got a shipment from chile some months ago from a kickstarter. I took more than 3 months to reach France (mainly due to chilean post), and then the package was awfully damaged but fortunately content was intact.

It is probably the fault of customs, but other shipments have already arrived, even without tracking and less time ago ;_;

My wife's copy of Grimm Forest arrived.  The components are AMAZING.  I won't post spoiler pictures in case anyone else kickstarted this game.

Finally got a big box full of small boxes from CundCo and printed a bunch of labels to attach to them. Carcassonne complete in a Big Box 4, and Carcassonne [II] in the latest Big Box, all organized for easy access and storage. (Unfortunately — and oddly, since it's just a bunch of vector icons — the PDF is too big to attach as an attachment; once I find a place to host it, I'll post it for folks to print their own.)

Thanks jungleboy. I played my 1st - 3 player game this week and really enjoyed the game and that player count. Look forward to trying other players counts.

I'm also liking this new trend of dressed-up abstracts that play more than two. (Azul, Photosynthesis, Santorini, Element and Sagrada come to mind.)
