but aren't orders with more than one item automatically supposed to get shipped in a box???
No, box is a separate item.

Not for multiple items in the same order - those have always been shipped in a box in the past.No, box is a separate item.
So, I finally got my Night Trap and the documentary Blu-ray...in a flimsy pink "garbage bag" envelope. Really, guys?! I'm not one to complain about frivolous things - I swear - but aren't orders with more than one item automatically supposed to get shipped in a box??? No damage, thankfully, but still.
Did Night Trap also get a Vita release? I can't remember.To get a free box, you need 2 or more items AND 1 of the items has to be a PS4 game.

I got it for PS4. Guess I should have made that clear.
So it fits the criteria of what you're saying.
Instead of a box, I got two separate shipments of the Bunker and Night Trap in a bubble wrap envelope, both of which shipped and arrived the same day. *shrug*To get a free box, you need 2 or more games AND 1 of the games has to be a PS4 game.
I guess so. But this is the first time they've offered a Blu-ray (as far as I know), and Blu-ray cases are close to the same size as PS4 cases (maybe a little thinner and shorter - I'm not sure). This kind of falls outside the usual norms of what they ship, but I don't think it was an unreasonable for me to expect a shipping box. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, obviously. With that said, I hope they improve their "garbage bag" envelopes at least, because those flat-out suck. (I'm aware you can add a box for a small fee, but I'm not convinced a big box will secure one PS4 game any better than a flimsy envelope would, so I'd rather they work on improving what they pack smaller shipments into.)No, it's just for the PS4. I should clarify that by items I mean games, so your scenario doesn't fit the criteria. You can see the criteria yourself right here.

That's bizarre. Wonder why that happened. The whole Night Trap shipping schedule has been very erratic compared to most releases, so maybe that's why.Instead of a box, I got two separate shipments of the Bunker and Night Trap in a bubble wrap envelope, both of which shipped and arrived the same day. *shrug*
And Senko no ronde 2 and Game Paradise Cruisin' Mix. These are seemingly also confirmed for English too unlike M2's stuff which might need localization work.
And that EDF STG announced just today needs to happen too. The developers aren't well known and no footage was shown but it's EDF mixed with shmup? It can't go wrong.
And #3 I really liked Jamestown+ too. It has a few flaws and is not a revolution but it's a cut above the normal indie shmups. I had a good time with it.
Just sayin'.
Man, the Shadow Warrior quantity sucks. I now recall that I skipped the regular release of this in favor of the LRG version.
That was before the print run was announced, or I would have grabbed it.

Yeah, I'm not sure what happened with Night Trap. Usually, most people get their items shipped and delivered within a 2-3 days of each other (not counting international orders). With Night Trap, we have folks who got their orders shipped and delivered a week ago or two weeks ago, whereas I just got mine tonight. It's all over the map.I just assumed it was because of the mess that was Night Trap. Honestly, I don't know priorly what was the last time I bought both games on a Friday. This summer was barren for me.
Amazon listing for Night Trap CE isn't up yet, so I can't scan it to Delicious Library yet. But, I got curious and checked eBay, and I guess it is selling for about 120 dollars? Which, got me thinking: what's the most expensive/rarest Limited Run game, and what's it run for?
My KS Plague Road came in earlier today:

Same for me. I really like this cover.
Not sure I'll bother with the hold shipment service again... It's been over two months and they haven't dealt with the mess yet. I wouldn't recommend it if they can't even ship the games when you ask, don't reply to the tickets, etc.
I don't want to share my entire point of view before this issue is settled, but I'll tell y'all this: I'd advice against using Limited Run Games hold shipment service ever again.
If you have the funds to pay the full shipping, buy the game. If you don't, reconsider your purchasing habits and reflect if you really need that game you're thinking of buying.
As I've shared in another thread:
Have they ever gotten back to you yet??
I've had to open another ticket and got a reply saying they'll check the order, again.
Hopefully better than Play Asia Customer Support. PA took 3 months to get something done
Weird. I've always gotten a PA response and usually a resolution within like 8 hours after my email.

One of the issues was an outstanding bill LRG owed to the UPS, which they comically tried to blame the shipping company for.
How is it comic? Having dealt with UPS for years, I will tell you that their billing and commercial shipping groups don't communicate. I have literally had a package sit for a week because they erroneously claimed my account was delinquent when in fact I had a $1500+ credit. It wasn't until I called them that everything was resolved. There was never any notice of the alleged delinquency nor any indication that they were holding the package until the amount was paid.
Finally got my Wonder Boy, standard edition
I do wish LRG used thicker bubble envelopes or a bit more protection for overseas orders... by the time Wonder Boy and my Jotun arrived the cases were slightly crushed and you know on the back cover where if it's been pressed it has some damage from the disc holder? Also the spines are a bit crushed. Nothing I can't handle really but some of these games cost me $70 AUD, I buy games from the UK all the time and they arrive in pristine condition for a lot cheaper...
We've never had this experience, not to say that it hasn't happened to others, but his post didn't imply that the bill was a false one, so I never assumed that it may have been. The comment on UPS losing out on potential future money because of money owed in the present is the bit that got me. The UPS are trying to run a business, just the same as LRG, they shouldn't be expected to continue going into the red to serve a customer on good faith that they may make things right in the future. LRG themselves wouldn't do this. Our business wouldn't do that. If you start missing electricity or car payments, the companies you owe won't either. Nor would you have any right to place the blame on the people you owe, if the bill were legit.
I've consistently bought PS4 games from LRG in bubble mailers without issue and my copy of Wonder Boy arrived crushed as well. There was a grim sense of irony as I'd just returned from sending some rare PS2 games to the US and I'd packed them well, to find a package containing a shattered box and a torn sleeve on my doormat. CS have said that I can send it back for a replacement but that's also an extra £8-£10 in return shipping costs for me.I highly recommend tacking on a box... PS4 games damage easily.
I'm so confused about whether I should get my hold order shipped or not. All these horror stories are making me choosing to do it in the first place lol.
Well, it's already too late! lol
True, but I could always just wait to see if they switch carriers from Ascendia or something
