Anyone ever had any issues with them and posting when they claimed to have ? Been waiting 2 weeks for delivery from UK to US and getting concerned there might be a problem.

Must be on the same boat as my Warlord hats.... lets hope they didn't run aground on some reef and are currently sinking..

I know from past experience that it can take a month or more to ship by surface from North America into Europe. I sold a fellow from Spain a model kit once and he wanted it shipped surface mail, took like 5 or 6 weeks before he said he got it. Guess they still use sail power and oar power these days, its greener for the environment.

I usually get my minifigs through Caliver books. I make an order every month and it always take them exactly 3 weeks. I'm from Spain so I suppose that delivering in USA could take them 1 or 2 weeks more :S

Patience and good luck, all seems slower when you're waiting for it.

Cheers!

I'm in the UK and I had a long wait about 5-6 weeks for rules to be shipped from the US to caliver before they could dispatch them to me.

Reminds me of what I was always told. "Its in the post'" means... Its left my desk and I don't know where it is now.

I seem to have caused some confusion, I ordered rules and scenarios from caliver books for the "Valmy to Waterloo" rule set about 20 months ago, caliver did not have them in stock and had to order them from America, the process took about 5-6 weeks I was not talking about FoG R. It was to point out about how long it could take.

yes it takes quite a while when there is an ocean between you and the point of origin. If ordering from across the mighty seas you better practice patience, eventually it will get there.
