Mayhem Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 The rather high international shipping is somewhere putting me off though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timdu Posted December 5, 2009 Author Share Posted December 5, 2009 We are not making any profit on the shipping. We use the USPS, and if you go to the USPS.COM web site and click calculate postage, and choose international, you will see that a 1 pound package from USA to Great Britain costs $12.95 Priority Mail® International Small Flat-Rate Box* USPS-supplied Priority Mail Small Flat-Rate Box 5 3/8" x 8 1/2" X 1 3/4". Maximum weight 4 pounds. 6 - 10 Days $12.95 Just wanted to make it clear that we are not "marking up" the rate for shipping...

Although Al has sent 2-3 carts to me in the past for under $10, so that's why it was a bit of a surprise. Maybe I'll have it sent within the US instead...

mimo Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 stick it in a bubble envelope and send it airmail, $13.00 is a joke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 it really is a nice package, i recommend it to anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 stick it in a bubble envelope and send it airmail, $13.00 is a joke I'll never have another 2600 cart sent to me in a bubble mailer, I've already had two in the past destroyed by the mailing system...

timdu Posted December 7, 2009 Author Share Posted December 7, 2009 I can look into the cost of sending the cart in a bubble mailer to the U.K. We are also including a hard shell plastic case (it normally holds 9-10 DVDs) with the game. I think in the past when you received games, it probably was just the loose cart and a manual. That could be an option too as well... if you would like to forfeit the hard shell plastic case and just receive the game cartridge, game manual, and cover sheet for this box, I can definitely look into this as an option. Send me a PM if interested Tim D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEFF31 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Meant to get one of these earlier and didn't and now I WILL before they sell out... so hold on to one for me. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayhem Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Oh... didn't realise it was boxed. I thought it was just cart and manual. Well, the shipping cost isn't so bizarre then... might change my mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timdu Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 Got mine today and OMFG I love the box art. Santa pulling a gun on a little kid. I have to give credit to Dan Skelton for the artwork. It was his brilliant idea. I personally love it. Dan came up with the idea, painted it, and then scanned it into his PC. After seeing his excellent artwork in the Stella gets a new Brain project, I was so glad to have him on board. I gave him the green light and we "ran with his idea." The result is pure magic in my opinion. More about Dan @ http://2600connection.atari.org/dan.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godzillajoe Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Just got to play and am totally bummed that it ends! Played medium and just as it starts to get interesting, I'm finished?! 4:11 total time. Don't wanna sound like the Grinch but I shouldn't be able to beat a game first time out of the box in a total of 4 minutes. I know the hard level has 25 houses but still. I think we need a Mean Santa II next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
