Freight & Optional Help Update for Upzone: The Original Pop-Up Terrain - JUNE 22'
3 days ago – Wed, Jun 22, 2022 at 12:29:41 AM

Hello Epic Upzone Backers, 

Upzone is out of the shipping queue! Upzone is loading or has already been loaded onto Ships and is hitting the seas to continue its journey to your door to our fulfillment centers worldwide! (Miniature Market in USA and Green Fulfillment in Poland. It will be shipping from VFI for asia/pacific as well.) 

Freight and Shipping Timeline: 

Early August ---> Arrive at the port.  From here transportation will be secured and then loaded to make its way to Fulfillment. 

Late August ---> Arrive at Fulfilment center for inventory and prep. 

Early September---> Arrive at your door. (Worldwide!)  

This is the timeline for ALL Fulfillment Centers. 

Once Upzone arrives at port, and then arrives at our Fulfillment Centers we will update again and let everyone know keeping you informed at every major checkpoint! 

Gen Con and Essen Game Conventions

We are hoping to have Upzone in hand for Gen Con, however, freight delays made that impossible. However, we will have samples to show off! So definitely come visit us! :D

We will have Upzone in hand for sale at Essen Spiel! All backers should have theirs in hand before then as well! 

 A Little Help from Backers with Freight Costs (Optional) 

We at Everything Epic are a small company with a Big Heart. We have worked hard in doing what is best for our backers and for Upzone as a product. 

Such as: better printing quality, shipping materials, foam in boxes to protect your product, and longer sampling and testing times, again to get you the best possible quality product we can! 

 While this results in some delays and higher costs, and with horrible freight costs worldwide, unlike some Kickstarter Campaigns, we made the decision as a company to pay these costs ourselves, and NOT Require an Upcharge to all backers for the higher than normal shipping costs.  As a small company, this is a hard burden to bear, but we're doing our best to do that, even though it really hurts our much needed profits, which pay our amazing design team, and support our company and future products as well! 

We're not requiring, but we are humbly asking you Backers for any assistance towards shipping you'd like to give. If anyone would like to help us offset the shipping cost,  we would really appreciate it.  

It is not required and you are not obligated if you're unable or uninterested. 

We will get you your amazing Upzone Terrain ASAP no matter what you choose!

However, if you would like to help you can send any amount to us via Paypal below. 

PayPal link -->  Everything Epic  

A donation of $10-20 dollars or more offsets the actual cost per zone it's costing us to freight these items overseas from China to USA, EU, AU and around the world.

Normal Shipping Containers are about 10k, Current Shipping Containers about 18-26k each (And we have 4 Containers of Upzone Going Worldwide!) 

Any help you'd like to give is much appreciated. If every backer sent 10-20 dollars, it would cover the overage on 3 containers to offset our costs. Again, thank you so much for all of your support and we can't wait to get Upzone into your hands! 

Thank you everyone for your Epic Support! 

You're the Best Backers in the World!

Upzone the Original Pop Up Terrain - May 2022 Update
about 1 month ago – Fri, May 13, 2022 at 12:49:21 AM

Hello Epic Upzone Backers,

Assembly and Packaging have been Completed! 

That is a lot of Upzone! It is already loaded on pallets and we are securing its place to leave China. 

The State of Shipping 

If you have followed the industry these past months you know that shipping has gotten to be a horrible ordeal with HUGE Expenses way above the Norm by 3-5X.  Upzone is both heavy and large which makes it the prime target for the increasing prices as space becomes more of a premium on shipping vessels.  We have worked very diligently and will get it out of China soon. Please be patient with us as we try our best to find the best pricing for freight and fulfillment to everyone and get them to you as soon as possible! 

Back to more fun stuff ...

As a preview, we want to share an unboxing video of the Cathedral Zone with KS exclusive tile.  Every Zone will be packed using foam for protection.  You can see how fast and easy it will be to get it out of the box and on the table, the person in the video shows this off without even trying.  We are so excited to get Upzone to all of YOU! 

Bonus Video 

For those that are curious, we had extensive testing done and we redesigned the packaging early on to make sure it would be safe. We don't have videos of all of the tests, this is one of them that simulates transit.  

FINAL PLEDGE MANAGER AND SHIPPING ADDRESS REMINDER:

Pledge manager is LOCKED - you may not make changes to your pledge. If you need help changing your address, please DO NOT SEND A KICKSTARTER MESSAGE OR MAKE A COMMENT ---- SEND AN EMAIL TO US AT  INFO@EVERYTHINGEPIC.US ----if you message or comment, we will tell you the same thing to email directly. We can not track your request otherwise. 

If you have any issues with finalizing your backer surveys or need any other help, please email us at Info@everythingepic.us and we will help.

You're the Best Backers in the World!

Upzone April Update

Upzone Quick Timeline Update!
3 months ago – Fri, Mar 18, 2022 at 07:53:13 PM

Hello Backers,

Upzone is finishing up printing and has already been underway with assembly and packing. The manufacturer has informed us that everything will be completed end of April.  We have lined up a freight company for once it is ready to move out of China. 45 days after that it should arrive and begin fulfillment immediately. We are looking at a May-June fulfillment if that schedule holds.  

We know delays are never fun, we are working hard to get this to you and making sure it is the most Epic and high quality product it can be! If there are any issues, if you need to update your shipping address please email us at Info@everythingepic.us 

You're the Best Backers in the World!
