Subject: Re:BattleTech 'Mercenaries' Kickstarter - EU CUSTOMS UPDATE (UPDATE #113)
None of these updates on the KS for the EU line up.
At this point, it's pretty clear that CGL has lied in the past about the state of the EU fulfilment. You cannot make a claim in the summer that most items are in the EU hub barring a few thingies they still have to send to them after a quick production run, only to claim 6 months later that customs clearance is difficult because the shipment includes items made 2 years ago.
They are just contradicting themselves in a pretty major way. There were already lots of rumours about CGL cannibalising the EU stock to speed up NA fulfilment and this is just more fuel for that fire.
I'm done with this company... They just ooze dishonesty.
The boy, I say, the boy is as sharp as a sack of wet mice...

The person on vacation per the update is their 'QML contact'. QML is Quartermaster Logistics, the fulfillment company Catalyst hired for the Mercenaries Kickstarter and located in Orlando, FL.
Fair. So instead of it being one person in Australia, they're only able to talk to one person in the logistics company they hired.
Cool. Cool cool cool. Nobody sets an out-of-office e-mail with details of who to contact instead then. That's perfectly normal and sensible.

Yeah, at this point it looks just spiteful to push the street dates just for RoW. I mean, others can already buy before I get my stuff, I don't care where they're from.

I imagine it's the sheer amount of stuff that can be best described as landfill-bound. Patches, coins, coasters and all the rest. It certainly seems so from the updates at least.

The shipment has cleared customs and will be continuing on to the Hub! We don't have an ETA just yet, but more news should hopefully be available by our next update. But we wanted to pop in and let you know as soon as we found out and confirmed!
Have a great day!

You echo my thoughts. We had Covid, and the sea shipping collapse, yet it didn't end up in a clusterfeth, just delayed. This time we paid for "premium" shipping, and hubs only to have everything go down the drain. My KS supposedly was about to "leave" China a month ago. I'm still waiting...

Depending on the size of the logistics company, in an office that has assigned client representatives, yes, it's pretty normal and sensible. The OOE is likely to say something along the lines of 'If it's an emergency, contact [someone else], otherwise I'll deal with your request ASAP when I return' because unless it's a major client, nobody else in the office has time to track down an update for a single container for a client they don't regularly deal with.
They're an actual logistic company. They handled the US shipping of the Imperium Partswork magazines, too.

The "no extra cost to the backers" blurb is a bit more worrying now if they happen to ship from the UK, as whoever is running this mess is probably not smart enough to have thought of shipping from the UK using VAT and handling fee free shipping.

Gamesquest have an established presence in fulfilling European crowdfunding campaigns. I did some digging a while back and they seem to partner with a German logistics company near Frankfurt for European deliveries. It shouldn’t be coming from UK. It’s had enough difficulty as it is!

US/CAN/RoW w/o hubs: Wave 3 only has about 170 orders remaining. We are hopeful to finish up within the next couple of weeks. QML will then send remaining merch back to our warehouse and we will fulfill any Wave 4 or beyond backers internally.
UK: Waves 1 and 2 are completing, which includes Company Store orders. Exclusivity has officially begun, though we will still wait on street dates for all of Europe until EU fulfillment is complete and their exclusivity period ends.
EU: Now that the shipment has been cleared from customs, we are hearing that there may be storage fees owed, so we are working on clearing that up as soon as possible. The community let us know that many are beginning to receive Address Verifications from the EU hub in anticipation of the shipment arriving from customs. Fulfillment is so close!
As a note, there will NOT be any additional charges to backers, just the time needed to resolve the issues.
AUS: We met with QML today and confirmed that the shipment was received and is being checked in by the Australian Hub. QML has asked the hub for an update if fulfillment begins before the end of the week so we can let you know!
Asia: Wave 3 should begin after Chinese New Year.
Other Updates: Some of these projects haven’t changed, so the update is the same from last week and copied here. Some of them have taken the next step forward, so double check the details.
Missing Items: For US/CAN and RoW without Hubs. As QML wraps up remaining shipping, they’ve identified additional items that are short. We’ve asked QML to fulfill what they have, then send us a list of what’s owed for each order. We will fulfill these items from our own warehouse once QML is complete and has the full list. In the meantime, you should still reach out to QML in case an actual mistake may have been made. If they respond that any missing items are due to inventory levels, then you know that you are on the list for us to fulfill.
Retailer Shipping Compensation:
During the Kickstarter, we promised to offset shipping with merchandise. Because of the shortages, we stalled to ensure individual backer orders could fill first. We have a plan to fulfill, which leads to a very special announcement made right here first!
We are launching a new website and online store within the next couple of months:
Functionality is in final review and approvals, bug fixes are being worked on, and imagery is being updated. More information will be released as we get closer to launch.
The new site will finally allow for Direct-to-Retail purchases! So once we launch, we will be uploading your retail pledge shipping costs as credits to the webstore so you can order whatever you like! We’ll keep you posted as we get closer.
Vehicles in Salvage Boxes:
Early on in shipping, our wonderful backers brought to our attention that some of the Mercenaries Salvage Boxes came with Vehicles instead of ‘Mechs, which was a production error. We instructed QML to send 1 extra Salvage Box to all backers. Anyone who was already sent that hadn’t yet received Art of War or the Cookbook would be receiving their extra Salvage Box with those shipments. Over the holidays, we prepared an order with our warehouse to send out the remaining Salvage Box to any backer still owed one. Additionally, if anyone got multiples of their salvage boxes and reported to either tbuckner@catalystgamelabs.com, store@catalystgamelabs.com or Kickstarter messages, these have been added to the order as well. If you have questions, please include “Mercenaries - Salvage Box Vehicle” in your title line to help expedite this process.
Overage Credits in Backerkit:
Some of you still have outstanding credit in Backerkit. We’ve run a report, and a lot of the people with credits still haven’t completed their surveys or paid shipping. Tyler has been working on these and has been able to get some of the legitimate credits refunded, but we’re still working through the list. Please note that if you paid with Paypal, we will need your paypal email to be able to issue the refund. Please email tbuckner@catalystgamelabs.com if you have gotten your shipment and still have outstanding credit in Backerkit. Please include “Mercenaries - Store Credit” in your title line to help expedite this process.
Reminders:
Store Credits
If you requested store credit to offset some of your shipping fees, our list has now been fully processed. Check your Catalyst Store account at store.catalystgamelabs.com to double check your credit. If you believe you’ve been missed, please email store@catalystgamelabs.com.
Damaged or Missing Items
If your items were damaged in transit or you believe you are missing any items or packages, please contact QML directly as they will be handling the replacements at the end of fulfillment. Here is the link: https://www.qmlogistics.com/contactUs.html
Defective Items
If an item in your shipment was defective in some way, such as a manufacturing error, please contact us at tbuckner@catalystgamelabs.com and include a photo of the defective product in your first email.
Retail Street Dates:
We have continued to receive occasional reports regarding retailers in unfulfilled regions releasing Kickstarter products prior to established street-dates. As these cases are identified, we are taking appropriate action as necessary.
Wave 1: Orders finalized and shipping paid on or before May 17th, 2024
Wave 2: Orders finalized and shipping paid between May 17th, 2024 and August 12th, 2024
Wave 3: Orders finalized and shipping paid between August 12th, 2024 and October 22nd 2024
Wave 4: Orders finalized and shipping paid between October 22nd, 2024 or later

---Sun-Tsu’s Art of War, annotated by Jamie Wolf
-Guest next week is Brent Evans, CGL art director, and he has big news!
Discussion
-Bryan felt Without Question, the most recent novel about Jiyi Chistu’s Jade Falcons went really well
--He’s hoping to tell more stories around the Falcons in the Hinterlands
--Bryan talked about how people have come up to him at cons and events and sworn at him because they like the Falcons now.
-Bryan completed Voidbreaker before Without Question came out, and he’s written quite a few new stories since then
-Voidbreaker is a mission impossible/bond-esque spy thriller. The main character is Sea Fox Star Colonel Kendra Rodruigez, tasked with finding Tucker Harwell and getting him to repair the HPG network, while he’s being hunted by other factions
-Bryan is a big fan of spy thrillers from youth and he wanted to bring some of that energy to BattleTech.
-He said it was the most fun he had writing BattleTech to date
-He wrote both of the free 2024 Christmas short stories in a very short timeframe
-The BattleTech one featured Katie Ferraro trying to find presents for the Fox Patrol towards the end of Lone Wolf and Fox
-The first few years he was writing for BattleTech and Shadowrun, he felt a deep fear that he was going to screw things up, that the universes were too big and he was going to go off the rails. But now he’s more familiar with them he knows where the rails are and how to work within them and around them
-Bryan is hoping to write more spy stories in the BattleTech universe but it depends on sales and critical reception of Voidbreaker. The book ends with a degree of a team being formed that could go on other adventures.
-Bryan’s been doing events in and around his home state of Utah. He liaised with a demo agent near him to do a BattleTech game based on a big mech scene towards the end of the book at a launch party, and CGL are intending to put this scenario up as a free download. It takes place on the big HPG map from Map Pack: Cities
-Bryan will be making the following appearances to promote the book
--2nd weekend of February: store appearances in Utah
--3rd weekend of February: GenghisCon in Colorado
---There’s a group of Fox Patrol fans running games based on the stories at the con and Bryan is planning to play in them
--March: Saltcon in Utah
--March: Indianapolis Comiccon
---He’ll be doing a BattleTech panel
--He’s 50/50 on Adepticon
--He’ll be at Gencon and Dragoncon
--He’ll also be at a film festival in New York in March with his new short film, and Star Wars Celebration in Japan in April
-Next up is a collection of Lone Wolf and Fox, the Fox Patrol serial from Shrapnel 13-16, plus a new story showing the battle of Sudeten in Without Question from their perspective
-When he first approached CGL to write he wanted to work on Shadowrun, but there wasn’t availability at the time, and John offered him BattleTech instead. He’s glad to get to write for both now.
Q&A
-How long is CGL going to make us wait for Bryan’s next book? That’s a Jon Helfers question. He’s written ahead a lot to help the release schedule to try and help smooth out the release schedule and get things coming out more regularly.
-How many works has he submitted that are yet to be published? A lot. He and Stackpole have turned in the first script for the graphic novel, he’s turned in a book, a novella, a few short stories
-Do you ever feel weird referring to yourself in the third person in the promo videos? Yes, but he kinda puts himself into a radio announcer mode when he’s working on them and he’s concentrating more on the pronunciation and stressing words so it’s a bit abstract
-A viewer talked about how much he enjoyed the Bazaar scene. Bryan talked a bit about how he, Ray and Josh Perian who worked out Tucker’s movement across the Inner Sphere in the story and how it ties into IKEO, and as he did this he imagined the Indiana Jones line moving across the map motif, and then he felt he needed a scene in a Bazaar like in Raiders of the Lost Ark
-In IKEO there’s a scene where Tucker makes a call to arms on Terra, but it feels out of character, wlll we see how and why this happened? There are plans to tell that story, but no word on when and where it’ll happen
-Do we know who from CGL will be at Adepticon? Not sure yet. The Directors (Loren, Randall etc) probably, Rem won’t, unsure about others.
Will there be a restock of the Shadowrun 1st edition reprint? There are copies still in the warehouse, email store@catalystgamelabs.com if you have questions about it.
-Is there a retail date for Black Remnant? Once it’s on the CGL store it should be released to retail as well, but because this was a sudden drop Rem needs to follow up. Unsure if it’s on the February docket. Rem will follow-up
-What will retail purchasers if they get a vehicle in a mercs salvage box sold at retail? Rem will follow-up.
-Any update on the Wars of Reaving novels? Bryan said that Jason Hansa , Craig Reed and Phil Lee have said it’s the hardest thing they’ve ever worked on in terms of working around the established events, but he thinks it sounds rad
-Any idea what happens to people who’ve paid for portraits with the Clan Invasion canon character, the questionnaire didn’t mention this? The questionnaire is the first step in sorting everything out, so they can cross-reference with the list of people who’ve already got a character and then move forward. They’ll be in touch with everyone with next steps.
