One Card Wonder Shipping Update
about 2 years ago – Tue, Jan 11, 2022 at 03:41:53 AM

US and Canada warehouses have received the One Card Wonder and will begin to ship this week. I also received word today that games in Europe are packed and ready to ship. 

Thanks for your patience!

One Card Wonder Fulfillment - Canada, US and the Rest of the World
over 2 years ago – Fri, Dec 24, 2021 at 11:44:34 AM

If you don't live in Asia, Australia or New Zealand, then you're still waiting on One Card Wonder. Well, I finally have some information for you! 

  • Europe - The European shipment will arrive in the German warehouse next week, and fulfillment will begin on or about 1/13, when the staff returns to work.
  • US and Canada - The shipment arrived in Michigan this week. They're breaking out out a shipment to Canada and a shipment to Houston, TX and fulfillment will begin there as soon as they arrive (or just after 1/3 - whichever is later).
  • Rest of the world - Your order will ship from out Houston, TX warehouse along with all of the other US pledges.

I want to thank everyone for their patience through this. Shipping has been a nightmare for any projects we've shipped over the past two years, and unfortunately I see no end in sight. 

Have a happy holiday, and get in some gaming!


Sincerely,

The APE Games Staff

One Card Wonder Shipping Status
over 2 years ago – Fri, Nov 05, 2021 at 03:10:43 PM

I promised another update once the games were shipping. Here it is!

Asia/Australia/New Zealand

These games shipped out by air last week and will begin shipping very soon!

Europe

The ship to Europe is en route to a port in Singapore and contains, if the picture is any indicator, a large collection of Tetris blocks.

US/Canada/Rest of the World

The APL Columbus is carrying your games to port in Canada, where they will then be taken on rail to Michigan. Some will remain there for retail distribution while others are moved to Canada and our warehouse in Houston for Kickstarter fulfillment.

I must say, this looks like a cigarette boat compared to the ship to Europe!

Likely Shipping Delays

My shipper wanted to strongly stress that delays are very possible. In his words:

...the world’s shipping lanes and ports/terminals are crippled right now. ETAs and time at ports to be released will absolutely get dragged out.  So what I’m saying is, that just because a vessel arrives outside it’s final port, it could still be weeks before it’s delivered.  It’s extremely difficult for anyone to guess timetables these days, including the carriers/ports.  We have to email/call on them daily and typically get vague answers of “sorry not available yet.”


So, that's all for now. I wish I had better shipping news, but everyone's in the same boat (so to speak).

One Card Wonder Shipping Update
over 2 years ago – Mon, Oct 04, 2021 at 04:38:41 AM

I had hoped that this update would be to tell you that the games are on the ship and making their way to fulfillment centers around the world. That's not what this update is about, though.

I wanted to tell you that we will be locking the orders in the next ~2 weeks, so if you've not yet completed the pledge survey, be sure to do so this week!

On that topic, I wanted to notify customers outside the US that we'll need to refund you for games other than One Card Wonder that you added to your pledge. These store items were meant for US backers only. To ship games from the US to fulfillment centers around the world would be cost prohibitive to say the least, especially given the new VAT requirements for the EU and the UK. We will not remove 100% of the games, as we do have a few copies available to send from Europe and Canada. Also, we will not cancel any of the Stygian Society: Tower Laboratory stretch goals, as we are shipping those to all the fulfillment centers along with One Card Wonder.

I hope I can post the next update in the next week or two telling you that the games have shipped to fulfillment!

One Card Wonder Production Proof
over 2 years ago – Thu, Sep 02, 2021 at 09:23:47 AM

The production proof arrived today, and it looks great! Actually, it looks like the last proof that I posted pictures for, except the obelisks which I include below, along with my hand model-like mitt:

The production proof milestone means the game is completely manufactured, but not assembled. The one thing they did wrong with this copy was to slap the Kickstarter sticker right on the box instead of outside the shrink wrap! (I carefully peeled it off.) Don't worry, I have informed them of this so my copy will be the only with with this problem.

We'll miss our original schedule of shipping games to you in September, but the games will be assembled, packed and (hopefully) shipping to fulfillment centers before October. I say hopefully because ports in China are still experiencing huge shipping backups. I will post again when I have information for you to track the ships.
