Medieval Madness
Williams, 1997I am not in the first batch but I am hearing about prices between 500.00 and 900.00 ish. I was expecting 3 to 4 hundred. I live KC area so closer than the others but this is my first NIB and shipping experience of anything this big. What is the cost for a Stern give or take?
No east coast and New Mexico I was shocked. Both said JPP was the distributor mine is PPS I just figured they would all be about the same.
hmmm.... rates over $400 don't make sense for shipping within (to/from) the lower 48 continental US states.
maybe for some states they are using 2 different (and unrelated) shipping companies to reach the final destination? ps. that's nuts 
I am in JJP's first batch and can probably provide a decent idea of shipping rates considering we live about 1 mile from each other Firebird. JJP uses R&L and I am hoping for a better rate than mentioned so far.
The guys posted on PPS website that the shipping costs went from about 5 to 8 now to 3 to 4 hundred.
I was told by email that my MMRE LE Gold was shipped on March 18th. I asked JJP what the shipping cost was and Jenn from JJP asked me to call R&L shipping to get that info. When I talked to R&L they said my cost was $928.98. I emailed JJP back with that info and Jenn said that was not correct and she would get with the R&L rep and a few hours later she emailed me back and said the cost to ship from Chicago to Albuquerque was $350.13. So due to timing and communications the original was not correct but corrected. So due to have it Monday March 23rd estimate.
I figure about $375 max to our area and it really should be less if the distros can pass on their discounted rates to us.
Edit: I was typing when tdunbar was posting.
Great news, I have considered picking it up my sister lives in Chicago Rick has not said if that will be an option or not. It would be great if it was.
Thanks all for the info.

I heard that there is a mandatory Drop Ship Charge from Chicago Gaming of $150 on top of the prox $300 shipping charge.Most distributors are having the game dropped shipped to the customer.

ouch... feels a little over, but maybe they buy all their gas in Cali
Sorry, my previous post in another thread was a typo. Long day yesterday of flying 20 hours and reading & responding on my cell phone while being driven to my hotel at midnight. My apologies to everyone involved.
The shipping quote was 471.61...Chicago to San Leandro.

Still steep compared to my usual NIB shipping prices but about what STI charges.
