I'm a little puzzled myself on the colored PVC. I could maybe see the red ones for the Kurita force packs coming with the combat manual, but the Steiner ones are due out until late next year and the Marik ones aren't even on the schedule.
QML has been busy recalculating shipping charges with correct weights, and for backers that previously did not have shipping charges, your shipping will be estimated in a second wave. We will continue to keep you updated on the progress as we move forward!
For any backers concerned with taxes, we're currently exploring how state/regional taxes affect our campaign bundles and how to better optimize this.

Especially shipping taxes, and 3rd party "services" charges.
After I got my Clan KS FedEx (I think) sent me an invoice for custom fees that supposedly I had already paid to backerkit. Was FedEx double dipping?

Jenkins: You don't have jurisdiction here!
Smith Jamison: We aren't here, which means when we open up on you and shred your bodies with automatic fire then this will never have happened.
About the Clans: "Those brief outbursts of sense can't hold back the wave of sibko bred, over hormoned sociopaths that they crank out though."
Fair enough on the changes, but they probably should have done this research before releasing the first draft and expecting the backers to point out the finer points of VAT law.

So far only one person outside of the clearly incorrect ones (like Kappas being charged $1) has seen their rates rise and Rem is gonna double-check that. Mine dropped from $190 to $79, for example.

From the CGL Discord:
Results: We spot-checked 77 backers live in the Discord. Of those, only 7 were thought to be inconsistent, either by Rem, or by the backers themselves.

From Rem on the live feed @ around the 37-to-40-minute mark, most product has reached the hubs, all miniatures and rulebooks are at the hubs, they are still waiting on some of the swag (Patches where specifically mentioned)
Shipping is expected to be posted this week, it will be posted in batches so it won't be up for everyone at the same time.
