Looks like we have owners in VA, CT and AZ (me), at least :)
And Australia. Ah well, I probably couldn't afford the postage on a hardcopy anyway.
We've been fascinated by the distribution of players. We assumed that most customers would be in the U.S. But since launch in August about half of our players come from the US and half from overseas. Of the overseas players most are from the U.K. but a fair number come from Australia, Spain, France, Italy, and Germany.
Here's the receipt/shipping data from U.K. orders we've been receiving during the current Black Friday sale. At current exchange rates shipping is equal to $4.70 USD. That's about what Lulu charges us when we order some copies for sale at conventions and local stores. And that's whether we order 1 or a bunch.
Subtotal £10.50 GBP GBP
Shipping £2.99 GBP GBP
Tax £0.00 GBP GBP
Total £13.49 GBP GBP
Anywho, thanks to everyone who has ordered. Lulu processes orders immediately upon receipt. When we get receipts from players for this special sale we send PDF files from our biz computer on a land line to avoid killing our mobile data plan.
We process the receipts in the morning, mid-day, evening, and at night so please be patient. We've had a ton of orders and neither Lulu nor Wargame Vault have the features needed for us to fully automate this sort of deal (We can't sell print copies directly on Wargame Vault since we felt their print quality was significantly behind Lulu. The WV version's color was dull, the paper very thin, the binding not as secure, and they did some weird stuff like adding 3 blank pages to the document despite the fact that the page numbers worked out to a nice multiple for printer's forms).
For normal "non-sale" PDF and print orders we don't have to do anything manually so those are processed automatically. Sale doesn't end until Monday night U.S. east coast time so everyone still has time.
