Yes, Bang! The Bullet! Still Is A Pre-Order!

We have had multiple questions (albeit from the same person) about whether Bang! The Bullet! Is still a pre-order. The confusion lies in the fact that the product is listed as “in stock” however, the title states “Pre-Order.” 

The title is correct. The game is a pre-order. Sorry about the confusion.

We still have no definite arrival date for Bang! The Bullet!

You’re Responsible For Making Sure You Have A Merry Christmas. :)

Hey guys,

It’s the season of last minute purchases and broken hearts. Good times, good times.

I just wanted to urge you to purchase your board games as soon as possible to make sure they arrive by Christmas. There is nothing worse (for the customer and our customer support) to have someone order a game two days before Christmas and pay for Parcel Post shipping – with the expectation of it arriving by Christmas.

Please keep this in mind as you shop:

- USPS Parcel Post: Super Slow – Super Cheap
- USPS Priority: 2-3 Day Shipping. A bit more expensive. (Time may vary depending on our stock)
- UPS Ground:  5-6 day delivery.

Be safe, order your games on time and have a great December!
Thanks for your continued support!
Things are going great at the Empire.

Jeremy

New Category, New Rule – Free Shipping Games

UPDATE We are no longer offering free shipping in this category as the “free shipping” option was abused and we will have to wait till we can restructure our system to allow free shipping only on specific category’s. If you don’t understand, either email support@empireboardgames.com or don’t worry about it because it probably doesn’t apply to you anyways. :)

Hey Everybody,

You may have noticed that we added a new category called “Free Shipping Games.” Yes, it is true, if you order a game in this category, you will receive free shipping. HOWEVER, if you combine any other games from any other category, we will cancel the entire order! It is your responsibility to check this. In other words, if you’re going to order games out of this category, make sure they are the only games you order. If you want any games in any other categories, make sure you place two seperate orders. 

To Qualify For The Free Shipping:

1. The games in your cart must only be from the “Free Shipping Games” category only.
2. You must select the “Free Shipping” option at the bottom of the checkout screen.

If you have any questions regarding this rule, or if you feel this post needs further clarification, I would appreciate it if you would email me. jeremy@empireboardgames.com

[please don't use my email for order inquiries. send customer service questions to support@empireboardgames.com]

More games will be added to this category daily.
