We know that the games are now in the UK. We're just waiting for the last mile courier to contact us with a date for delivery to our unit.
As of now all of the shipping addresses are unlocked, meaning you can go in and adjust them.
We don't have a fixed date for fulfilment yet, but it will commence as soon as we receive the books and will take a several weeks to complete due to the sheer volume.
That said, you will be able to edit your address right up until the day we send your rewards out, so you have plenty of control over where things should be sent.
That's all for now. Please head into your BackerKit account and check your delivery address as soon as you get a chance.
Those of you tracking the progress of the books may have noticed something strange happened somewhere around the Cape of Good Hope: the destination changed from Felixstowe to Rotterdam.
Which leaves us with the questions: Why did that happen? Where are the books?
Before I get into that, a little Tim Roberts lore drop.
I spent two years in the Merchant Navy, primarily on this ship, so I have an idea how these things work. The likely explanation is that a vessel in Felixstowe ran over on its unloading, so our beautiful vessel, the Cosco Excellence, diverted to its next stop. It arrived in the port of Rotterdam on Saturday, did a quick unload and is now back at sea and heading towards us.
How quick they unload and get the books to us depends on a couple of variables:
1. How much stuff there is to unload in Felixstowe. 2. How busy customs are.
Once it's through customs, it will be picked up and brought to us. We still expect everything to be with us this month and we will begin fulfilment immediately.
As always, I will keep you updated on the progress.
Track the game's route to us and a look at the dice!
Hey all,
I've been quiet recently because we are at that frustrating point of waiting for the books to arrive. I've managed to find out which container ship they are on and below is a link so you can see their progress:
They are estimated to arrive in port on October 3rd and then we have to wait for customs clearance. I'll keep you updated on that process when they land in port, but in the meantime help yourself to following them!
Once we have them, we will begin fulfilment immediately.
WE WILL REACH OUT TO CONFIRM ADDRESSES BEFORE SENDING.
I also had some pictures of the dice that I completely forgot to share with you, so here they are:
They still need inking!
There is also a blue set, but for some reason we didn't get photos of them. I'll try procure some just before they are loaded on to the air freight.
So, at last I can say that production is complete on Wires In The Woods.
Before I get into the fulfilment bit, here is a quick video of the box, punch outs, journals and rulebook all playing nice together (extra space is for minis and cards).
(give us a subscribe as I intend to do some play throughs soon).
There are still a couple of hurdles to go, but they are just a matter of time. Wires in The Woods is now a thing and we can confidently say that this is the year it will be out in the world!
Our aim is to get it to everyone before the end of October, so you can have some Halloween fun and also cosy storytelling evenings as the winter nights draw in.
So, what happens now?
Several pallets will be making their way across the ocean next week. When we receive these can be hit and miss depending on customs, but usually we anticipate 4-5 weeks. We'll then start fulfilment worldwide.
We're not sure how long that part will take as we have never done anything this big before, but it will be all hands on deck, I promise. For the US and EU we are looking to ship from within those territories so we can remove all nasty customs surprises.
That's all for now, I'll keep you in the loop as I know more.

Another quick update to let you know that the journals are now complete:
As with everything else in this project, Simon and I went a bit above and beyond on the nostalgia production values. We were specifically trying to emulate the old Composition styles schoolbooks. That meant rounded edges and sourcing book-binding cloth in the right colour for the spines.
I think we actually might have ticked all of our boxes.
Oh, and of course there are the interior wood free, fountain-pen friendly paper on the interior that simon added a few small embellishments to.
It's another step closer to having this project ready to head out of the door.
In other news, I have asked the printer to air-freight a few copies of the book and journal to me so I can take some better images.
We're only waiting for the boxes, punch out cards and dice to come out of production now and then we are good to fulfil.
