Hello Backers! Good day to you and yours - hope you are doing well in your part of the world! I wanted to post a quick update on things. The US and AU ships are moving along as you can tell - hopefully all will continue smoothly. The UK shipment remains delayed in China. However! I did receive a note today that my regulatory information and identifiers should be done "within 1 week". If so we'll get moving on the UK/EU ship immediately when we have it!
The last thing to mention today is I need to lock shipping addresses now! After I do so, you cannot make any more changes to your shipping address - so please make any updates right away! To do so, just return to your survey that you filled out on Backerkit. If you need help, let me know!
All the best,
Adam
Tracking Container Ships

Hello Backers!
Welcome to the latest trends in international shipping! I've been dealing with shipping games for over 10 years now and these last two years have been the worst I've personally seen.
Thankfully, two of the container ships have just left CHINA and are heading toward their destinations. The first is heading toward the US: ULSAN EXPRESS. The second is heading to AUS: OOCL KUALA LUMPUR. You can track them if you want - I just looked them up on https://www.vesselfinder.com/.
Unfortunately, the third ship heading to the UK hasn't left yet. This is because I'm awaiting approval of my EORI identifier from the regulatory authorities. It is a harrowing tale, and suffice to say I started the approval process monthsago (!), did receive my IOSS identifier, but I am still in the queue for the EORI. I just checked with my UK third party VAT company (who has been terrific) and they said we're definitely in line, but have to wait just a bit longer. Hopefully "any day now". I'll be sure to post an update once we have it and we're moving.
In any event, I'll keep you posted as we continue to move things around the globe!
All the best,
Adam

Shipping Update!

Hello Wonderful Backers!
I hope you are safe, healthy and well out there! I have a very brief update on shipping. I have approved the shipping plan. We will have THREE ships going out - to AUS (Aetherworks), UK (Spiral Galaxy) and US (QML). CHINA (VFI) will have more direct shipping since they are obviously very close to the manufacturing site. I don't have a firm estimate on when the ships will be leaving CHINA. I'm awaiting the invoice for shipping which usually happens prior to departure.
I would guess at least 4-6 weeks for ships to arrive in their destination ports and another 4-6 weeks for things to move out from the port to your homes! Of course, there are many challenges along the way in today's world, but as I hear more, I'll keep you up to date!
Thanks again for your amazing support!
Adam
A Brief Update

Hello Backers! First, I want to thank all the contributors to the language translations! I think we're really going to have improved versions for sure and I'm working on consolidating all the efforts. It will be a few more weeks before I can finish it up.
Second, on shipping status. Chinese New Year is finishing up in a few more days. I heard back that our departure date from China is set for March 22. Again, this is later than hoped by a few weeks, but it's good to know we're moving forward. I have shipping schedules proposed for complete movement of games to everyone.
My guess is March-April will be movement from China to QML. There might be separate shipments to the UK/EU (Spiral Galaxy) and Asia/Pacific (VMI) regions at this same time - I'm awaiting clarification and confirmation. Depending on what port we arrive at in the US, it usually takes 4-6 weeks to truck, count, pack, bundle and get your games out. That means May into early June I suspect. So I'm hoping you see your game by June/July! Again, things are moving albeit slowly. There are thousands of shipments to manage and as you know, it is crazy out there!
When we leave China, I am going to lock all the shipping addresses. So please do let me know if you need to make any last minute changes! You can return to your Survey Link to make any corrections.
Thank you for your continued patience and support! I'm really excited to get TRANSMISSIONS into your hands!
