Online Retailer Question

By Killerardvark, in X-Wing

So this was my first time preordering from miniature market. Anyone have information on when they typically start shipping compared to the "Shipping Now" and street date. Trying to plan a list for an event and wondering if they will be in by then.

I had asked this a couple of days ago. It's not my first time, but I never pay attention. People have told me that they usually get their ships about the time it hits stores. I seem to remember getting it at least a day after it was in the stores at my local shop. Maybe it's my distance here in NC?

I was getting antsy about when it will come, but then realized that it probably won't affect whatever day it does come...unless it comes out right after Thursday night game night.

When I've ordered from MM in the past, I had my stuff about the the same day it showed up in stores. Maybe a day latter... That was with the cheapest shipping option as well.

The miniature market store championship in St Louis is next Saturday. I really hope wave 8 hits the day before so the tournament is just chaos.

Mine have always shipped within 1 day of the ships showing up in stores. I love me some miniature market, I only wish they had kept either regular fedex or UPS for orders over $150, rather than using smart post.

Easy to say when I'm not the one paying for lights, space, and salaries I suppose.

I hear ya, **** you smart post! My local post office is sooooo slow.

+1 to post -1 to smart post!

I am of the opinion that the "smart" of Smart Post refers not to intelligence, but to pain, something that "smarts." In which case, it is exceptionally well named.

Going off my experiences I would also agree.

FFG has released a street date for the product. 3-17 is that date. the distributers already have the product. Local guy went out to the warehouse and posted us up a picture. You will have your new minis between the 16th and the 19th depending on local cariers. So you wont see them for this weekend. But lord help the Store Championship here on 3-19. The meta will be so screwed up that I dont think anyone has a clue what will be flown. Hell some guys might just make a list once they get to the store and see what is in stock. This should be a wild ride.

Tuba ... I was gonna say about the same thing .. I will be there..

Last year I won a store champs the day after scum came out with a Kath IG.B build I had never tried .. made the list the night bedore..
