Default Ogre Miniatures set 2 - shippping outside U.S.

Hi,

I am wondering if there is a way to have the Ogre Miniature Set 2 shipped in Italy (or in any other non U.S. country). I do not see such option in the KIckstarter campaign.

I backed the set anyway, hoping in a Divine Ibtervention from the Vatican Guard.

Best game ever.

We are not directly shipping to international backers from this Kickstarter due to the obscene shipping costs. But there are still options for you as detailed at the bottom of the campaign page. You may pre-order through W23 either the Player or Many Minis levels. Plus fulfillment services are always an option.

With these in mind, there is only a need to make a pledge without a reward to keep you informed; you do not need to pledge for a level via KS. That can be handled through W23.

I'm also outside US too.... and trying to fathom this one.

So, as I see it:
I don't back anything in this latest KS?
I instead go to W23, and put in a pre-order for Ogre Miniatures Set 2?
And in doing that, I'm not allowed to pre-order "All the Minis"?

There's been recent discussion of this problem elsewhere on the site:

http://forums.sjgames.com/showthread.php?p=2133368

The short version:
  • individual package shipping out of the USA is excessively expensive to the consumer;
  • using a pallet/container for the trans-atlantic hop and then re-shipping from within the target's area is only affordable at substantial volume;
  • you could try a freight forwarding service, who'll batch up a bunch of orders from (e.g.) USA to UK, ship them by pallet and re-ship at the far end.

That's an accurate summation.

Wolf90,

The kickstarter video shows some really cool minis painted in Vatican Guard colors.

Great to see!

Looking forward to having some on my boards someday.
