Sounds like most of the Kickstarter projects I've backed in the past 24 months.

  • With Kickstarter, the project isn’t usually done in advance at least, so when it takes a year it feels like they’re still just working on it. For this statue it was purely shipping issues. >.<

Shipping, before the massive price increases from what I have to believe are fuel costs, took somewhere around 10 months. And I'm still waiting on part of it. With a very few exceptions, my KS backings are now limited to virtual goods, mainly PDFs & STLs. EDIT: I shiuodntbreally complain though, the re-release of HeroQuest and the new game Oathsworn are still in the boxes UPS delivered them in, tape still uncut.

  • I haven’t actually ordered anything online in quite a while. It didn’t occur to me that shipping costs had gone up, though it makes sense. Ugh, what a pain. About how much has it gone up by, on average?

  • I don't have any idea, but I know that the [url=https://techraptor.net/gaming/news/darkest-dungeon-board-game-wont-ship-unless-backers-pony-up-more-money]Darkest Dungeon boardgame isn't shipping[/url] unless backers add more funds. Shadowborne, the publishers of Oathsworn, asked backers to put in more money to help cover shipping, but didn't require them to do so. I think I kicked in an additional $50 or 100 because they were extremely communicative through the entire project, figured I could help offset their costs and maybe cover for a backer or two that couldn't or wouldn't chip in extra. Besides, what else am I going to spend my money on? Shadowborne covered a good bit of the increased prices on their own, I think I remember seeing the figure $100,000 in the additional shipping cost update. Guess I should open the box, eh?

  • Dang. That article said shipping costs had gone up by 600%, which is kinda crazy. Also, I had no idea there was a Darkest Dungeon biard game. That sounds pretty nifty!
