Windroses I arrived...
Whatever it is, it's probably in the post from Germany...

Possibly my favourite mini-expansion; not because of the mechanics, but the spacial boundaries it broke, it feels very different to any other expansion and generally simple to implement. I always thought the Blue Rose should have been the start tile.

Over three weeks now (March 21) since I placed my order for German Cathedrals, Dynasties, and some Corn Circle I tiles, and the order STILL says "not processed yet" at the cundco.de site. I'm just about done with cundco, hiG, and Carcassonne in general if they can't get their shit together. This is too much aggravation for what is supposed to be a nice, friendly hobby. Why advertise on your website that you have things available to order if it is going to be nearly impossible for you to actually fulfill an order?

Quote from: wamboyil
when I clicked on the "pay with PayPal" option, it would not let me do that (something about their website not being able to accept PayPal from other countries?). I changed my payment method to "bank transfer", and the order seemed to go through, but I have no idea how I am supposed to make the payment to them. I never received an order confirmation e-mail from them, and my e-mail to them has not been answered yet, after 5 days.

At the end of the day, you didn't pay for it, you didn't receive a confirmation email - so not a surprise it hasn't shipped. Frustrating that they haven't replied though.

Also - http://cundco.de/en/payment

If there are problems with the PayPal-form, you can send your payment alternatively to: service@cundco.de

Wamboyil, if you don't have any luck in the next few days, drop me a pm.
I got given a few copies of the Cathedrals by someone I met recently, and could send one on to you.

More like a good purchase story

I saw on german small adds somebody selling 3 spin offs: hunters and gatherers used for 2 €, Neues land for 8 € (almost new) and Die Burg for 4 €. It was explicitely written that they don't send the stuff, just for pick up

After a month and seeing that they still had those 3 games, I kindly asked if they would be willing to ship all 3 games, I was really happy when the person said yes and even made me a discount, I paid 18 € for all 3 games + shipping.

After receiving it, Neues land was unpunched, Bug was complet and almost new, and hunters and gatherers just the box was a bit damaged, but it was also  WITH 2 EXTRA SETS OF THE SCOUT EXPANSION

So reallllyyyyyy happy, there is just a missing tile "shaman" so it's just 9 extra free tiles, have to ask cundco if they have this tile.

Packages shipped today, shipping cost over 60 Euro. It's really insane how high the shipping cost can be when you're not sending one or two packages. ;)

But, I also got this to pick up from the postman, that is going to be a gift for a friend's birthday coming in a few weeks. This was the last (sealed) copy that I could find here in Sweden.

Tell me about it! I've regularly spent £15 - £20 on postage alone when sending stuff out to CarcC member for competition or tournament prizes/ mementos...

I only posted one thing today - postage cost more than the item originally did  :yellow-meeple:

You might want to add a photo on the Storage Thread to let others know of your problems.

@totor66 - sounds like you've had a good haul!

@Andrew +1 for being a considerate of your fellow board members!

I might be interested too if you still have spares, because my order also hasn't been processed.

Ah, that's sad to see.

I was just going to order one of those!
