yeah, put me down for 8. I'm doing a collection of everything that I can get for my family. It's our favorite game of corona, and it'll be cool to have a memento of Taiwan before China annexes it -  :pink-meeple:

 :o

Hey Meepledrone, could you add me to the list too? thanks!

Just one for me is OK ;D

At the beginning of this week I asked again for two sample quotations to have a hint on how shipping costs to Europe behave:
* One with 6 maps
* Another with 16 maps (figure that I will have to update again)

Don't want to try many options in parallel since several of my messages haven't been answered so I'm keeping one thread alive.

Last night, after several exchanges during this week, the Swan Panasia rep told me the quotations will take a few more days since they haven't solved the details for the shipping:

Quote
Because the size and weight of the outer box have not been determined yet, please wait a few days.
Please forgive the inconvenience caused.

Depending on their answer, we will have to determine how many shipments we should arrange.

I suspect that shipping to Europe and then on to Singapore or the US may not be very efficient cost-wise (shipping costs, customs fees, import taxes and VAT). So I was thinking on arranging:
* One shipping to Singapore (the closest destination)
* One shipping to US West Coast (the closest coast to Taiwan)
* One shipping to Europe

I would resend each lot to one sender per country if agreed and they you may arrange the domestic distribution in person or other means.

Revisiting the specs for the Taiwan map I noticed this:

Quote
Specification: 594x841mm
0.300 lbs. German imported super white super snow copper + bright film embossing with storage paper cylinder (φ80×650mm) + 2 pieces of plastic cover

So I understand they are trying to send the storage cylinders with one map each inside a large box. :o If the shipping costs go sky high, I was thinking of suggesting them to ship all the maps rolled up together in one single box, so costs would go down dramatically (less weight, smaller box). Then I would need to get some cardboard storage cylinders here in Spain and use them for shipping.

Let's see next answer from the Swan Panasia rep.



@Willem: Don't know if you checked Swan Panasia's web site. If you want to order extra stuff they will arrange two separate shipments: one for the maps and one for the rest of the stuff I presume from this note on the promo page regarding the 20th Anniversary Edition + Taiwan map bundle:

Quote
Carcassonne 20th Anniversary Edition" and "Taiwan Map Expansion" will be divided into two pieces and sent at the same time. The map will be rolled into a bundle and placed in a paper tube (with a lid) for delivery. When receiving, please pay attention to whether both items have arrived. After receiving one of them, if you do not receive the other within three days, please go to the FB private message editor.

Don't know what this may represent regarding costs...



@Bumsakalaka It may be a coincidence but after reporting earlier this week the missing info in the rules about placing tiles on island squares with coats of arms, Swan Panasia has uploaded a new version of the rules covering this matter. Of course it is not in the section with basis rules but it is part of the Map Chip rules... as HiG did in the Iberian Paninsula rules.  :o

@meepledrone - cool as I said, that "online" rules have advantage. Problem is that there is no verisoning :(
Anyway, better to get always new rules.

Shipment as one package to Spain and then some to EU will be better. I'll update that Czech and Slovak count of maps then, when price for whipping will be known :D

We should be closing the final figures soon, so we can provide Swan Panasia a final order. Otherwise, the order and shipping costs will be a moving target and they may decide to ignore our request altogether.

Let me know if the requests from Czech Republic and Slovakia should be sent to one destination only. Otherwise I will consider two separate destinations within Europe.

I understand this is an extra effort for them. If they are working on shipping the maps with storage cylinders, getting the right box to put everything is not that straight forward...

I would like to reply to their first quotation with the final order size and the no-storage-cylinder option.

The current list is as follows:

Current list with suggested shipping destinations in bold:

> Europe (21):
* Spain (7): DrMeeple, inigomartinez (x2), Meepledrone (x4)
* UK (3): Willem (plus more stuff?), cidervampire, PurpleMeeple
* Slovakia (2): Bumsakalaka, DIN0
* France (2): Linksux (x2)
* Belgium (2): Windekind, Aenima
* Czech Republic (1): PetrM
* Estonia (1): InsaneLiz
* Germany (3): KlausiMausi (x3)

> Singapore (1):
* Singapore (1): DavidY

> USA (11):
* USA West Coast (9): Mikeagan, Allograft (x8)
* USA East Coast (2): ny1050220, Carlium

Thanks for following up on all of this! Really appreciated!

I have noticed as well that they only sell the base game in old art in a bundle with the first 2 expansions. That is fine for me.
So then for me it becomes 1 map, 1 old art bundle (as found here) and 1 new art base game (as found here)
Let's see what that adds up to with shipping

Tehehehehehe. Swan Panasia calls it Carc 2.0. Flame suit on. It's clearly 2.1 because it has the the revised brown soil coloring and does not have clipped cities. Swan Panaisa should accordingly update their site before a completitionist buys a copy and expects the darker brown soil. -  :pink-meeple:

Good call Allograft. There is just one problem with it - 2.0; 2.1 etc. nomenclature is not recognized by HiG and its regional publishers   ;D
