Back in May, after getting hired as a direct employee with the company that I have been working for as a contract employee, I decided to get myself a "good going!" gift. So I ordered a large army of Essex 15mm Later Swiss for use with Impetus. Instead of ordering direct from Essex in England, I ordered them from the US distributor, Wargames Minis. I figured that I could get them sooner and then ship them out to a painting service and have them ready for play this fall.
Well, I was mistaken. I placed the order on May 29th, and the figures arrived on September 9th. And they were shipped to the billing address, not the ship to address. Since I am working out of state I wanted the figures shipped to me instead of the house.
It appears that the order is complete, as it was placed in May. I tried to add a couple of things to it last month was promised a freebie for my patience, which were not included.
During this long summer, I have stayed in touch with the owner of Wargames. He has had a difficult summer including serious health problems.
You may ask why did I not cancel the order? I do not have a solid answer for that other than I am a "nice"guy.
Will I order from them again. No. But I will buy from them if they are at any of the conventions I attend.
So, here I sit in Illinois, with the army in Michigan. I will get them next weekend. *sigh*
