GW Shipping

 

Although we have not had a similar problem with  Games Workshop shipments, it appears that other stores getting way too many cartons for a simple shipment. Not only do shipments take one to three weeks to arrive, but when they do, they arrive in multiple boxes, even though they are invoiced on the same order. One store even reported that its shipment had been broken up into shipments of one item per box, meaning that a 20 item shipment arrived packed in twenty different boxes. I certainly hope this is just a glitch in the system and is not going to become the norm or that someone at Games Workshop looks at their shipping process and reduces the number of packages per order. Shipping charges generally accrue per item. Currently orders from Games Workshop and Penguin Random House ship free so I hate to see the companies paying extra to ship products to stores in multiple products when it certainly is not necessary. Companies that charge freight on shipments that fall below a certain amount, such as Alliance, Southern Hobby and Diamond (though I have seen some pretty egregious examples of Diamond overpacking orders of single items) generally pack shipments as efficiently as possible.
