Subject: Re:Mywarhammer account - linking your GW and FW accounts

Don't quite get the reason for linking the two accounts is then as that would be the big draw from me at least in terms of user friendliness.
Well in your (our) case, that'd be nightmarish to deal with. Any US GW orders are drawn from the GW warehouse in Memphis. Any FW orders are coming from Nottingham.
Tying up the GW storefront with all the export & customs & international shipping stuff that FW has to deal with (even if its internally) is not a sensible decision, as a combined cart would then have to sort all that out on the fly.
Dunno about you, but I wouldn't trust them to do that well.
Pretty sure that US Forge World orders also ship from Tennessee. They haven't come straight from Nottingham in years now.
