I'm still waiting on mine - I've asked them what's up.

Got a response - this round of deliveries was just for the folks who backed the project in 2016... not those of us who only backed last year. Huh. Nice of them to make that clear in the delivery announcements.

Nice of them to make that clear in the delivery announcements. Oh wow. Did they at least say when you should expect delivery? They really screwed this up in my opinion. It's almost like they are *trying* to piss off as many people as possible.

If it’s going to take until summer for a second round of the crossworder, I really don’t see how they’re going to get the other two boxes out to everybody before 2020. I was a later backer, but my backer # is still in the 300s.

My box is scheduled to be delivered Tues, no later than 8pm. Which my delivery person understands to mean, "Your package will be delivered no earlier than 8pm Tuesday." I think he waits around the corner for 8pm, and then runs to drop my package on the front stoop, knocking once softly. Then he disappears in the night. But I am excited none the less! I have waited a long time for this delivery, and despite the "company's" many faults I will be happy to finally have Case #117 in my hands.

I sent Shelby a thank you note. Here is the reply I got. She (he?) mentions the shipment expected in summer. *** You are welcome and we are so sorry this took so long, we will be much more prepared for when all of our other cases ship in the Summer, have a great time solving it. *** I'm pretty sure they were overwhelmed, not that that is an excuse.

I know I had no expectation that the initial shipping would take a year and a half, let alone two years. Luckily, for me, I ordered the Crossworder box first, so I came in at order #272. Just under the wire it seems. If they have similar problems with the mailings of Druid and Scientists, I'll be lucky to see them before 2019. Since I ordered them separately, much later in the campaign.

Still no love at my abode. Have you heard from them at least? Your order number is lower than mine, so ..........

It is supposed to have been mailed. For a customer who bought the whole load signed and so on, you'd think they would do a better job.

So I backed this thing last week and got all three. My backer # is in the 900's. Sounds like I won't see thing till 2025. I can still get a refund, do you think I should? Or stick with it?

While of course we're always happy to help with puzzling things, this page should get you much of the way through (though there are still some small semi-inconsequential puzzles that aren't covered well here): www.armchairdetectiveco.com/tips
