As much as I keep avoiding it in the local shops, I can no longer deny that Christmas will soon be upon us! Luckily, Royal Mail have released their postage deadlines, so if anyone is wanting any 10mm goodness to be waiting in their stockings this year, you will need to get your orders into us before:
| Pendraken |
| Ordering Deadline |
| UK | Mon 10th Dec |
| Europe | Mon 3rd Dec |
| USA/Canada | Fri 30th Nov |
| Rest of the World | Mon 26th Nov |
Don't forget, if you don't get your order in before these dates, then we cannot guarantee that it will be there in time for Christmas morning, so get them in as soon as possible!

And for anyone sending items out themselves, these are Royal Mail's official posting deadlines, (NOT to be confused with our own deadlines above! #-o )
| Royal Mail | |
| Posting Deadline |
|
| UK | Thurs 20th Dec |
|
| Europe | Wed 12th Dec |
|
| USA/Canada | Mon 10th Dec |
|
| Rest of the World | Wed 5th Dec |

Serious question - are the new AWI cavalry likely to be out before the Xmas deadline ? I'm under instructions from my dear wife to write my letter to Father Crimble......

We're hoping to have them ready for the December releases, so they will be available in time for Xmas. It might be cutting it a bit fine for folks on the other side of the pond, but we'll do our best to get them shipped quickly.

I just want my Fussy Wuzzy on Camels! oh and maybe the 1700-1800 Austiran and Prussian figures for 1866 too! Did you ship the first War store order and did you get the next on from Neal?
Thanks
Tom

The first one got delayed by the Warfare show, but it just needs packaging up and sending out. We've not seen any new orders yet though.
Today's the last day for Xmas orders heading to the RoW (everywhere except UK/Europe/US) folks, so make sure they're in before midnight tonight!
:!! :D
Early Christmas at the Schumacher household!
Prussian Army bags on back order and the next order will only add to it. Hope the Warstore got the order in intime. If not I will be busy!

The missing army packs have shipped out already, and we'll be getting on with the new order soon hopefully!

...Mainly due to the Post Office only being open for another 3 minutes when your order was placed. We'd be doing pretty well to get that one out today!
:D
Speed is key :p
Guess it willl take a little longer to cast mine up :p
I'll just sit at the door,tap my fingers on the table and wait for the postman.

I was fine until Fred 12df posted that ruddy picture of the Paras!!!!

Now you must have an 'emergency lead pile' for when this happens...
Luckily mey emergency pile is bigger than my finished pile ;D
I have 400 1866 Austirans and no time to even prime them! AHHHHHHHHH and I have about 1500 more Austrians, Prussians, Saxons, and Dervish coming....Man I can't wait until the Christmas season is over so I can paint! :)
Now that's what i call the beginning of a leadpile ;D
Just got an e-mail containing the shipping details of some fedex shipping on it's way from Middlesborough.
Assuming it contains my merry christmas :D
Thanks!!
Get some Screaming Eagles.............

Well funny enough, the the tracker states the following:
13/12/2012 8:25 MIDDLESBOROUGH, CL TS2, GB Zending onderweg vanuit FedEx-locatie van herkomst
13/12/2012 2:30 MIDDLESBOROUGH, CL TS2, GB Opgehaald
12/12/2012 15:52 Zendingsinformatie verstuurd naar FedEx.
Soooooo, or it's a typo, or i am screwed :)
Nice, still waiting on my shipment from the Warstore, hope Leon was able to ship it to them soon. Working through the current pile of British.

You're good with techno babble :p
I'll be having these on monday, looking forward to this!!
Hi Leon and crew, 2 of my orders arrived this morning thanks a lot. I have also been very disciplined and put them both under the tree ( without even a peek). I know whats in them but its my Christmas to myself so going to wait for the day. Cheers everyone and a Merry Christmas to the Pendraken staff and all those on the Forum Kev.

Bad luck for me. Tomorrow i checked the tracker on the package, and it stated that it was on the transport with an estimated delivery for today. REally happy at that point.
When i look at the tracker now, 8 hours later, they just dropped it of at the fedex warehouse in belgium once more, and erased the estimated delivery time.
After the last entry on the tracker, it states "not due for delivery"
What the hell are they doing over there?
I presume that that means that it's not due for delivery today any more.
But that's a complete guess. :-\
I think so too, but why put it on a truck and then drive around all day and bring it back to where it started?
Quote from: petercooman on 17 December 2012, 05:27:44 PM

I'd guess it's one of two things:
- They have tried to deliver the package, but there was no answer, so it's gone back to the depot.
- The truck was delayed on it's deliveries, and it couldn't get to you today. You'll be one of the first deliveries on tomorrow's schedule if so.

I once work in this domain. Sometimes the driver wish to deliver it, but can't. It's a very difficult job, where every minute is like a gold piece ! May be he choosed to deliver a big box, earning more money, rather than your little one.
I'm sad for you.
( If you know where lies your minis, and if you live near that place, sometimes it's worth calling them to stop the delivery, and take it yourself. I do this again, sometimes, when I'm waiting for very important computer parts.)
Well it should be the second one, as my parents were at home the entire day waiting for it lol. Picking it up myself is hard with the dayjob...
I'll just have to sit through it and wait :o
En ik vind het niet grappeg ;)

You can try to call the depot, and insist. The driver may get your S.O.S. (that's what I used to do..)
Good Luck !
I'll just sit through :p
Shame as i had enough free time today to do something :D
Ja, ik snap het. Ik ken het gevoel, wachten op iets, en dan komt het niet. Balen! Dus ik duim voor je!
