Update for 06/1/2023 from the Spiral Galaxy Fulfilment Team
Happy New Year! We hope you all had a good time over the break and didn’t get hit by this horrendous wave of cold and flu sweeping the continent? We have a number of the team coughing, sniffing and looking a bit rough but we are all still standing!
So a wonderful start to the year at spiral with several projects moving through quickly and the arrival of the big show itself. That’s right Frosthaven has landed and I can happily report we are unloaded and the first transport is away! Hundreds of copies are now on route to backers and should start arriving from tomorrow.
The next container is inbound and expected to arrive at the start of next week. The rest will be following on in short order throughout the next two weeks.
As we have noted previously there’s a LOT of product to shift here, and as such we have taken certain steps with Cephalofair to expedite the process and get everyone their games a little quicker than previously predicted.
To that end we are splitting shipments that have certain additional items such as inserts.
This has a number of bonuses. We can get your Frosthaven out to you immediately on arrival, the fully packed box doesn’t injure our team (and at just under 17kg for the base game alone that’s definitely a possibility with us shifting over 5000 of them), also importantly if these items are not shipping in a very heavy box the risk of potential damage is massively reduced. The downside is that you will receive the two shipments on different dates. However, with some hard work from our team we would hope there wont be a long delay between them. If you are one of the backers with a split shipment we will be sending you an email to confirm and you should get this at some point after the weekend.
Several of you asked us for a photo of the games arriving and we are happy to oblige!
Hoplo Victorum: Containers are still inbound. To address the elephant in the room: This project is falling at the same time as Frosthaven. We have multiple dispatch teams at Spiral so we will be starting the process as soon as possible on arrival, even if Frosthaven isn’t yet complete.
Tanares by Dragori Games: Due to data issues this project has unfortunately been delayed. We are currently working with the publisher to resolve these issues and we hope that this delay wont be unnecessarily long. Dispatch is currently expected to begin after Frosthaven and Hoplomachus are completed

A last note that our support team are going to be absolutely swamped during January so please don’t add to their workload unless you genuinely need assistance. If you are just looking for a status update on your shipment we are unlikely to have more to offer than the estimated dispatch dates we provide on the update. So we suggest to check back regularly have an eye open for updates, and remain calm! The Games are shipping and you will absolutely receive your order!
For any issues with delivery of your orders do please contact us at fulfilmentsupport@spiralgalaxygames.co.uk for assistance.
