Also the new 150 euro limit applies only if one of the parties is a company. So if Jason sent you the book, you would have to pay the customs taxes, but if Massive Black sent you the book, you wouldn't.

I think the law became effective on 1st December.

I'm not sure at all though, correct me if I'm wrong.

h2rra, thanks for making this clear, I did not know this. However, the shipping rates to Germany/Europe question seems still to be unsolved....

It seems like shipping to Europe is 23$

Can't say that I'm not disappointed that there are no more limited edition pieces but whatever, at least I owe my father 50 bucks less. Have a great time, people.

Wait whut?.. LE's Sold out?! .. D: I sent a gazillion mails requesting paypal support so I can get the LE and now they are sold out?! I at least hoped there would be a copy reserved to those who stated they wanted to buy one but had to wait for the paypal thing to come trough as Jason said it would

That's how I paid, at least.

That's how I paid as well. For windows users paypal has a downloadable plugin and for Mac users you just go to the secure card section in your paypal account and get a temporary credit card. I got my conformation that my payment was received, so it worked.
I'm just wondering when I'll have access to the free downloads, when the book is shipped or before? DBMiller

That plugin was US only.

Well, I sent a message to scooter asking what's going on - since I hadn't received any email about my reservation - and he sent me a reply saying he sent the email, perhaps it got filed under junk, and that the limited edition was gone.

I'm not happy.

So, I just sent him a response saying to cancel my reservation request and perhaps I'll purchase the paperback version someday.

At least now I don't have to worry about how to pay them.

**EVIL** · January 6th, 2009, 06:10 PM

I sent scooter A mail an hour ago informing him in a nutshell that I am not happy how things went.

They should have waited untill everything was figured out, so the creditcard users could not cut the line like now.

If I see any of these go on ebay the coming month for 200+ bucks I'm going mental!

Hello Scooter here,

I am deeply sorry that it took so long to figure out the paypal issue. It is available as a form of payment as of 5 minutes ago please follow the links and instructions that you have been emailed and you will be able to order if you still choose to do so. I feel awful for anyone who missed out on the limited edition because of this issue. It took awhile to figure out what with the holidays and all how to integrate Paypal into our site.

Once again you have my deepest apologies.

Best,

Scooter

**Aly Fell** · January 6th, 2009, 06:42 PM

Scooter. Thank you for your hard work. It is frustrating to miss out on the ltd edition, but I've ordered the signature edition instead. Just unfortunate timing.

**Man Made God** · January 6th, 2009, 07:31 PM

Ordered, thanks for getting PayPal up!

**robinchyo** · January 6th, 2009, 11:38 PM

Scooter,

Hopefully you received my e-mail about me forgetting to list the shipping address' country as United States instead of Afghanistan. Thanks!

**swore** · January 7th, 2009, 02:30 AM

cool...
a must buy!!!

**Peantoo** · January 7th, 2009, 12:36 PM

Hey Scooter, did you guys ever work out what would happen to us poor saps that forgot to put our download titles in the notes section? I sent an e-mail about it in December and posted it in here and haven't heard anything back about the issue.

The only reason I'm even bringing it up again is because today my credit card got hit for the book, so it was just a reminder for me to check on this. Since the downloads were a big chunk of why I decided to splurge on the book, I really don't want to miss out on them.

**TAD Admissions: Scott Richeson** · January 7th, 2009, 02:28 PM

Hey scooter here,

I'm fixing shipping and missing download issues as I go. If you do not receive an email from me I'm pulling your DL info out of your original email inquiry of the book. if you are reading this and you haven't reserved yet please put the down load info in the email AND the comments section of the order form or else I will say

and my brain will explode all over one of your favorite concept artists.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Another thing to keep in mind regarding shipping issues. If the information is wrong then the total you were charged might not have included shipping costs. please be aware that your total will go up in line with USPS rates to ship to your country.

Thanks!

**angelo cordon** · January 7th, 2009, 06:17 PM

So I ordered the book and I think I'm all ready to go. How do we go about downloading our tutorials?

I noticed that my order had $0.00 for shipping when I placed it and thought I'd have to contact someone to get it sorted, however the total had went up ($22.80 USPS to UK) the next time I checked so all was OK.

Edit: Download link received via e-mail! That'll answer any questions about how the tutorials are downloaded.

**Tonic** · January 9th, 2009, 03:31 AM

I think I've ordered art book. I paid with PayPal without credit card. I wasn't sure what to do with USA type address form. It doesn't support my country ZIP code (there we use one dash, XX-XXX), so I removed this dash. Also, I had to write state name, otherwise I couldn't order. Then, again, we don't have states, instead there are provinces (I'm not sure if it's correct), so I put my province name. It's my first time I order myself from foreign country, so I hope there won't be any problems.

Anyway, has anyone from Europe received art book? How much time shipping has taken?

Shipping of the art book doesn't start until the 13th so no one has received it yet

.

I've imported loads of stuff over the years, and so long as the item's been packaged properly (so it can't get bent/bashed about etc..) it's been fine so don't worry about it.

**DBMiller** · January 12th, 2009, 12:40 PM

This seems to be quite an active community so I was wondering how many orders you've gotten already. Just a little nosey I guess. Thanks

**Zebz** · January 12th, 2009, 12:52 PM

They're not supposed to ship until tomorrow.

**DBMiller** · January 12th, 2009, 01:14 PM

I wasn't asking how many have gotten theirs yet, I can read a shipping date. I was just wondering many were pre ordered. I wanted to see how many others were as excited as I was about the book. Thanks

**Chaser226** · January 12th, 2009, 10:48 PM

Where can I go to order the book? I've emailed and PM'ed scooter numerous times with no response whatsoever....

**Man Made God** · January 13th, 2009, 04:08 AM

Just got my download links via email. Thanks guys, can't wait for the book now!

**kizoku** · January 13th, 2009, 04:59 AM

I mailed them about a week ago and I haven't gotten any answer or anything at all

someone else with the same problem?

Thanks for info.

I didn't mean about the "health" of book. I was worrying about shipping address, which was filled in USA-type form. I guess the person who sends books will figure it out, but who knows?

About responds, I didn't get any of them for few weeks, but it's nothing weird, as it's too much for them to handle smoothly, and add to fact they had vacations, which made things more messier.

Yep kizoku I'm in the same boat as you, I sent the email on the 6th but still no reply. There must be a ton of emails for scott to wade through so hopefully he'll get around to it soon.

**Chaser226** · January 13th, 2009, 01:28 PM

I also emailed him on the 6th then the 8th again. No reply. It's on sale now on ballisticpublishing.com...I'm tempted to order there, but I want the signature edition with my 2 downloads!!!
