carlsson Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 FWIW, it is not just the software you're using that handles state in a funny way. I have filled in "none" in my PayPal address for 20+ years now, and of course it is printed on every address label I receive by that system. It is a pet peeve of mine that despite nearly 25 years of online shopping, there still doesn't seem to exist any (major) system which can handle and format post addresses to various national formats. It isn't really rocket science to make a template that this field should go here, that field should go there, this field is not used in this country but that field is required and needs to meet the following pattern. It is like all programmers and publishers of web shop software around the world hate the post offices and couriers, so they make sure to malhandle addresses to make the sorting software and delivery services extra hard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 This is my favorite address label, sent by someone in Japan (and yes, I don't mind sharing my post address in public). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 I still wonder what that gentleman thought when he wrote down the address (that apparently was damaged from UTF-8 decoding): -"Hey, they use Pi and Yen currency symbols in Sweden! Cool!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cebus Capucinis Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 You mean there's not a bunch of Yen in the state of "None" in Sweden? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smesgr Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 (edited) I already try to contact via contact form, but without response. Thus try this again here. I can't order because the shipment calculator throws an error: Quote Errors were reported while trying to calculate your shipping rate. Please contact us if they persist.USPS: Missing value for ZipDestination.USPS_INT: The country name is a US Possession. It is easy to reproduce. Just select Germany and press "Show Shipping Rates".

Atari Dogs Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 I have been low on money the last few years, too bad you could keep the store open for few more months an inheritance to come in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All other field filled or not don't seem to matter I am working on updating the store to the latest version of the software, which will hopefully fix these issues. Should be able to make good progress on it tomorrow, I've already done a test upgrade and need to merge in code changes I've made, as well as make some updated to the theme. Will be spending a fair bit of time in DeltaWalker! ..Al 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Helmet Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 I’ve been looking around on the site so please forgive me if this has been answered elsewhere and also if I am out of line by asking: why is this happening? Why are so many games going away from the AA Store? AA has always been the premier publisher for home brew games for these platforms.

insertclevernamehere Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Oh no! I guess we'll also never see a physical release for Zeviouz and 1942 on the AtariAge store either. Two WIP arcade conversions for the 2600 that I had my eager eyes on. 🥹💔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All other field filled or not don't seem to matter If you're using the shipping calculator in the shopping cart before you begin the checkout process, that doesn't always work for international addresses. But once you begin the checkout process, it should calculate your shipping properly when you get to that step in the checkout process. If not, please let me know and I can help you further.

TrekMD Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 I just placed another order, though one of the games does not qualify as a "last chance" game. Adventure II XE - Atari 400/800/XL/XE Beef Drop - Atari 400/800/XL/XE - Last Chance! Beef Drop - Atari 5200 - Last Chance! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlock99 Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Any other places to buy some of the games? I know of Champ Games page for their library but not sure if there's any alternatives for the rest, that isn't buying on Ebay for triple the markup.
