Ok, now, this doesn't sound right:
From Watermelon's same blog post:
Can somebody elaborate on this? I paid for the EP edition and the soundtrack back on January 16th. What exactly does this entail for me?Quote:
There seem to be some misunderstanding about the shipping fee. It shall be paid when the item is ready to be shipped, something which was written, but perhaps not bold enough. We charge 6usd for shipping.
Looks like you will have to pay 6 dollars more for shipping.
You know, I remember reading about some form of extra shipping that wasn't aimed at U.S. buyers (something about customs in Europe).
Now I just feel cheated. Why couldn't I be charged for SnH the day I paid for those items? :?
I would imagine everyone will have to pay the extra shipping - "no customs fees" for European buyers was because they ship stuff from within the EU now. (Will make a nice change to not get robbed by customs and couriers for once :P)
And it's not uncommon for companies to let you preorder stuff + charge for the shipping later - the fault here is they didn't make it clear in the first place.
This is not open to argument, brother. I feel cheated, period.
Zebbe hasn't been here since April 17th. Either he died and is currently decomposing on the side of the road with crows pecking out where his eyeballs used to be as his organs turn into ooze and leak onto the pavement, or the whole team has been ordered to cease all activities outside of the Watermelon site. These are the only two options that could possibly exist. Has anyone posted on Watermelon's forums about this?
Boooo.
I do feel kind of bad for Zebbe since he basically became the mouth piece/whipping boy over here regarding all stuff WaterMelon. But I bet it's a bit hard to come here all the time and just be a Sega16 member with people bugging you for more "inside info" about what they're working on.
Regarding the soundtracks, I didn't order them in advance because I predicted some weirdness happening. I'll give them my money once they're in stock and everything is spelled out.
That's because Zebbe was the only one who shows up here any more. I doubt he has much say in things like this situation, though.
I am sure that once everything is clearly discussed with the team, Zebbe will provide us with further information.
Thanks for posting info regarding the issue about the gems as well as the extra cost for shipping. I actually forgot about the reward of free gems for preordering the game.
Incidentally, where did WM post that we were going to be charged an extra $6.00 USD for shipping?
Fonzie quote from WM forums
"Hi Guys!
I was in China during two last weeks to check some stuff around our dear OST (which turned out to be quite an epic thing). The thing is, all the WM servers are blocked in China ^^.
Now for the lack of answers, it will be investigated what went wrong and w'll take action so it can't happen again. Sorry for the stress.
You will get a news tomorrow.
Thanks!
Fonzie"
hopefully the game ships out soon and we get those free gems ....
