European Distribution

[Nick Volrath]

Hello all!

I would like to ask if the European distribution of Pathfinder Beginner Box has started. I preordered my copy from a European bookstore ( very known one e-shop) but seems that the product is still unavailable.

Any other European customers around? Have you got your copy yet?

Yes, I'm from Germany and ordered via the F-Shop. I received my BB last week.

I work for a games shop in the UK and the Beginners Box became available for us to order on the 31st October.

We ship to domestic and international distributors simultaneously, but most of the international distributors use consolidators within the US—that is, a US location that takes all the stuff they order from a bunch of manufacturers and bundles it together into a single shipment. This saves them money, but introduces a big time variable, as stuff may wait around at the consolidator until they have enough to ship overseas.

So we've shipped them out, but we have no clue whatsoever about when they might actually arrive at their final destination, and it will almost certainly vary from distributor to distributor.

I Have had an update from Amazon UK -

Estimated delivery of the Boxed set is 16/12/2011.

So I should have the books by Christmas!

Does anyone else have a longer wait!

My local store (in Norway) already has the Beginner Box, so distribution has definitely started in Europe :)

bookdepository.com (free shipping world wide) has the Beginner Box.

The Beginner's Box is sitting on the shelf opposite me so it's definately available ;-)

Since they are no longer offering the product for sale direct from Amazon at all, I took that as an attempt to encourage people who has pre-ordered at £15 to cancel their orders and go elsewhere if they wanted it in time for Christmas. I'd not be surprised if they eventually cancel the orders and say they can't get it. They have done that to me before with RPG stuff.

I had to cancel the 3 I had on order and went to Leisure Games instead. I had 3 copies on my desk the next day, admittedly for £25 each.

Just picked up two from my FLGS this afternoon (in the Netherlands) - one for me for school, one for a mate with a ten-year old son. Looking forward to seeing their faces :-)

I have got it in Greece.
