I wouldn't blame the condition of that box on MMP. Seems like it got crushed by other packages during shipment.

I wouldn't blame the condition of that box on MMP. Seems like it got crushed by other packages during shipment.

...And the fact that the contents are fine says that MMP did a good packing job.

 

[Jeffrey D Myers]

Might have been UPS, which my dad referred to as "United Package Smashing".

I got my copy of Fire in the Sky thanks to a friend who received his first copy completely smashed, so the game box was toast. MMP kindly sent a new copy to my friend.

Hatten arrived today and boy was thay package poorly put together, must have had curt shilling boxing my module lol. anybody else get really beat up packages? Contents are fine fortunately but I never seen MMP send out packages like this before.

That's horrendous!

I've ordered several items from MMP over the years, and never received anything so poorly packaged as the box in your picture. If the only item in your order was the Hatten module, then clearly the person in the shipping department chose an oversized box, which virtually ensures that the package will be crushed. Perhaps someone new is working in the shipping department?

As of a couple years ago, I've started ordering my MMP products from Ritterkrieg (free shipping). If I had to pay the high MMP shipping costs and receive an item in that condition I would certainly be a bit pissed off.

 

[Gunner Scott]

Thankfully, the contents were unharmed, I was just really surprised how damaged the box was because I never had a package from MMP come to me in such a beat up condition. Anyway, I'm just glad to have my modules and get to play them soon.

 

[Paul M. Weir]

I've received packages that looked worse from SCG, but like Scott's the contents were pristine. In the end that's the only thing that matters.

 

[Ric of The LBC]

Like a crumple zone in a car. The contents are safe.

 

[buser333]

They packed mine with bubble wrap all around the item so, even if the box was crushed, the contents should've remained undamaged. No worries though for me because UPS appeared to treat my package properly.

Japan shipment is Pah-King! Woot! :jig:

 

[Brad M-V]

Spoogbob is probably a UPS driver in Chicago randomly using Wi-Fi to remain undetected. You may have just tracked him down, Scott! What's the delivery drivers real name? ;-)

Mine was "Shipped/Dispatched" as of 8/8/18. Outside chance of it arriving tomorrow. More likely it will come on 8/13 while i am work (Grrr).

Mine has been packing since Tuesday, must be some good packing.

Mine has been since Tuesday, also. It just cleared the bank today though after being in limbo the last few days.

Yours look like it's opened and re-taped up though.

 

[JRKrejsa]

Mine was in pristine packaging. Not a scratch. I liked the air packaging. This was the first time I’ve seen this from MMP

The map looks awesome. All that snow, on a hot midwestern day in August.

Scenarios look fun too, at first glance.

Rules appear short. I did not see any footnotes, but I did not have long to look either. I hope there are some.

Andy, just spotted some errata in the US OB. In the org chart, the NATO unit symbol for the 79th ID is mislabeled, "42." In the key, "XXX=Corp" should be "Corps." Hudelson is shown commanding CCR, not CCB as stated in the notes.

Wow, that is a very good work!
Thank you so much: I now will have means to wait for my preorder at secondchancegames!

Uh, XX=Division. XXX=Corps.

 

[GeorgeBates]

Uh, XX=Division. XXX=Corps.

Right you are, Sir. Corrected.
