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

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.

There is currently a glitch in our system that sometimes resets pricing. If this happens to you, please wait a few moments and refresh the page. We’re constantly monitoring the site, and we have to manually reset pricing when this happens. Please bear with us. Thanks for your understanding. We’re hoping on a fix for this within the next couple of days weeks.
