MikeyD Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Hah! Steve makes a Laibach reference. I remember once making a passing reference to Blixa Bargeld from the band Einstürzende Neubauten and it was as though Steve finally discovered a reason to respect me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bootie Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 So how do they hit you with this charge.... Do they pop a note through your door saying you have a package waiting at the sorting office and how much it will cost to release or what? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Yup, that's what happens. They hold the package hostage. Though I suppose some countries might release the product with a note that says "We are trusting you to pay this on time. Or else. Have a nice day!".

Baneman Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Hey, Laibach AND Einsteurzende fans here. Sweet. I knew I liked you guys for some reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snake_eye Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 just a remark, since I received my last invoices with damages on the metallic box for CBMN and on the CD casing for NATO (The CD’s were fortunately not damaged), I had stopped ordering the CD’s and relying on the downloading for CW. Since that is not at the time possible. The only way to have it being to order a download and the mail invoice could Battlefront look at the packaging a bit closer. A non padded envelope is not sufficient to avoid damages to the content. At 75 bucks for Europe an effort could be done. For the rest I can’t wait till August to try CMFI. Good work BF! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckGamer Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 On a related subject, I live in Canada and I believe that shipping to Canada is expensive which is why I have the download version of Combat Mission Battle for Normandy. If my understanding is correct, the DL version of Combat Mission Fortress Italy will be available after August? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snake_eye Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 If my understanding is correct, the DL version of Combat Mission Fortress Italy will be available after August? For the time being the DL isn't available, will it be before August and or after, I have no clues. That is why I ordered the DL & Mail. I shall be able to DL it as soon as it will be on the website. Hope they will offer a better protection for the Cd's invoice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 We've been shipping these things in padded envelopes for some time, but if it is mishandled along the way a few little air bubbles won't do much. Full cardboard boxes with airbags is economically impossible for us to absorb and you guys are already (justifiably) unhappy with the ever rising costs of postage. Download only option is activated the day the game is ready to ship. Usually that is the same time the physical product is ready, however a couple of times the physical product was delayed en route to us and we didn't want to keep you guys waiting. Therefore, sometimes download options (including people who bought physical product) are available a few days before physical product begins shipping.

MikeyD Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 And people know that even full cardboard boxes are no obstacle to a dedicated mail handler. I've heard stories of items being delivered with tire tracks across the box! The Beta guys have, in the course of our work, downloaded, happily played, uninstalled, redownloaded, reinstalled many many times over. We've lost all fear of download-only. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Can we have the games ship out from the ports that the troops historically shipped out from? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
