West Coast port delays continue
I don't know how many of you have heard about the yet to be unloaded cargo ships still waiting at West Coast ports. The latest news is that the White House has become involved as ships continue to come in. The following article provides more detail: http://icv2.com/articles/news/view/3091 ... -shipments
We are all hoping for a quick resolution to the problem.

Have you guys thought about shipping your containers to the East Coast instead for your backers?
Re: West Coast port delays continue
Ships are on their way to Europe and Australia now. We're fine.

The container for the Australian backers did go out the East Cost and they said was on its way to the Panama Canal.

And what of any new product coming in? Planning to have them routed to the east coast instead ifhte mess that is the west coast?
I am very opinionated. Yes I rub people the wrong way but at the end of the day I just enjoy good hard discussion and will gladly walk away agreeing to not agree

It would be better to have it flown in.

Re: West Coast port delays continue
That would cost a SIGNIFICANTLY higher amount of money than by ship and Palladium is not in that "boat" alone. FFG has been having issues because of it as well.

Re: West Coast port delays continue
From our latest Kickstarter update, dated February 21:
"Hey, everyone.
"Like the title says, if you’re in Europe and your address has changed since you last gave it to us, your time is just about up. The NYK Meteor, carrying all Wave One rewards for European backers, is in the English Channel right now, scheduled to dock in Southampton tomorrow. From there, it might only be a few days to a week before the container clears Customs and is sent on to the warehouse that will be shipping the packages to backers throughout Europe.
"I have already sent the “final” backer data to the warehouse so they could import it into their shipping system in preparation for sending the packages out, but we have received at least one address change since then. There may be more, and that’s fine, but send them NOW. It’s far better to change it at the last minute rather than a week later, after the package has already been shipped and there’s nothing that can be done about it.
Australia
"The Corcovado passed through the Panama Canal two days ago, and is now headed straight for Sydney. It’s a little over two weeks out still, but we’ll need any remaining Australian address changes sent to us in the next week.
"Rest of World
"For those of you outside North America, Europe and Australia, your packages are about to ship. Make sure we get any address changes as soon as possible."
Send any address changes to kickstarter@palladiumbooks.com
