Today I'm trying to finish off the box design. I need to send it to the printers along with the rules tomorrow. I've also got a friend visiting this weekend, so I really need to get both finished today. Still, I'm hoping it won't take that long. I've got a starting place (the It's Alive! box design has all the important stuff on it) and I'm definitely getting the hang of Adobe InDesign now.
Back to the title. I've been chasing a couple of shipping companies to get proof that the games I've sent via them have shipped outside the EU, so that I can zero-rate the sales for VAT. In fact I've already not charged the customer VAT so if I don't get the proof the VAT is coming out of my pocket. Obviously I don't want that to happen, so I chased the shippers for the documentation. One of them replied with:
Games? What games? We've not received anything.
Aaaahhh! I sent them weeks ago. The customer has already paid me. Where the hell are they? Check with the couriers. They were apparently delivered on the 11th September. Forward the information to the shipper:
Oh! Those games. Yes, they were received and sent on. Here's the paperwork you asked for.
I swear I've visibly aged today.
In other news, it looks like the German distributor I've lined up will take some stock at Essen. Hopefully they'll take whatever I've got left, so that I don't need to send anything back to the UK.

Excellent news. About the German distributor. Taking your surplus. Leaving you with an empty car.
An empty car coming back from Essen.
Such things are dreams made of.
Hiya Jon,
The car will still be full of our suitcases and the stall-dressing. The space will be in the van. Which is going to Hull.
Cheers,
Jack
