Me neither.

But... Hopefully, I'll finally get to finish the game with KillaMinis and Droganis via Google+ later this evening...

Maybe it will come tomorrow...

I certainly hope so...

And during the morning...

As I'll be out for some of the afternoon...

As I posted on the Zombicide Kickstarter comments section, I received a letter in the post from Parcelforce today stating I owed £19.80 customs duty. Paid it via their website, parcel down for delivery Monday

Collected mine today. Not too happy about the customs charge but the product is awesome.

Production values are top notch, everything is as it should be and we had a blast playing through (and failing at) the first scenario this evening.

Where are you from, and how much did you pay (if you don't mind me asking)?

What that meant for me in SE London was that it's at the Parcelforce depot. They then need to send you a letter with a bill for £11 import duty (VAT) and an £8.90 handling charge for a total of £19.80. You can either: Pay online/over the phone and they will attempt to deliver it the next working day, or go an pay in person and pick it up...

Just got mine and unpacked, looks great!

Just watch out for the bag of white dice in amongst the white packing chips if you ordered them :)

Sorry, didn't mean to ignore you. Sheffield and £19.80. Not happy about the cost as I really didn't expect it and, since it's largely due to the high declared shipping cost (it appears UK customs factor this along with the item value) I would have happily accepted a slower delivery method if given an open choice up front.

The next delivery will not break the threshold and shouldn't incur a charge.

I think the cost broke down as:

VAT on Product Cost + Shipping (30+25) = £11.
Handling Fee from ParcelForce for passing your payment on to HMRC: £8.80

Last time I had something shipped from the US via a "slower delivery method", I still ended up paying Royal Mail a £7 "handling charge" on the £2 customs fee.

So there's not really much in it from that point of view, you'd only have saved a couple of pounds if that on the fee.
