De Game Steward makes every effort to provide the best quality of shipping to you and all customers.  As part of that effort, we provided (below) a list of helpful answers to many shipping questions.

1. Geen verzendkosten means The Game Steward will offer to ship your order to you for free.  This offer is generally for orders over $99 US Dollars within the 48 contiguousVerenigde Staten. Free shipping will use US Priority Mail, Fedex Ground, Fedex Smartpost, UPS Ground, or other major courier services.  We can not guarantee your order will arrive in 5 days or less, but most packages arrive in 5 business days or less.  If time is a factor for you, please consider selecting an expedited shipping option at checkout.
2. Orders which include multiple items will be shipped in a single box where possible.  If the order is too large to fit in a single box, we will ship your order in multiple boxes (at our discretion), at no additional charge.
3. When an order includes pre-ordeR items and op voorraad items, the op voorraad items will be held in reserve until all items are present in our warehouse, and can be shipped together.  This may result in your op voorraad games being held for several months.
4. If a combined order of op voorraad items and voorafgaande bestelling items is expected to be delayed by more than 1 month, The Game Steward may (at our discretion) offer customers the option to have op voorraad items shipped right away for an additional shipping fee.

De Game Steward is responsible for delivery of your order to your requested delivery address.  The games we sell are typically limited edition items that are non-replaceable.  By placing your order you agree to accept responsibility for the care and storage of your order after delivery is completed to your shipping address. In other words, once the package is documented as delivered by the shipping service, your contract for products and services with The Game Steward is compleet.
6. If you have any concerns that your package may be stolen after it is delivered, we highly recommend that you request special handling instructionsat the time you place your order, such as a signature requirement, a hold at the local courier facility, or have the package delivered to your office address.  These services may incur an additional charge to you.  Finally, we cannot guarantee that changes to the delivery instructions will be possible after we've receive your order and tendered it to the shipping service.
7. On rare occasions, the publisher of a Kickstarter game will split fulfillment of a game, resulting in multiple shipping golven.  This often results in the delay of delivery for a portion of the Kickstarter contents offered for sale.  When this occurs, The Game Steward will hold your order until all items are shipped to us by the publisher. De Game Steward, at its discretion, may offer you the option to have each Golf of contents shipped to you as they arrive for an additional fee.
8. If a Kickstarter game arrives to our warehouse 30 days or more after you place your voorafgaande bestelling, De Game Steward will require confirmation of your current mailing address. We will not ship an order more than 30 days old without affirmative confirmation of your current mailing address. Please make sure to notify us when you move, so that we can update your address in our records, and avoid any delays in shipping your game.  We will attempt to contact you by e-mail and/or phone at least three times.  If we do not receive a confirmation after our third attempt, we reserve the right to continue making attempts or cancelling your order for a full refund.

15. De Game Steward makes every effort to fulfill pre-ordered Kickstarter games as timely as possible. Echter, wij kan niet control when a publisher will fulfill our order.  As a matter of experience, we have learned that our orders tend to ship toward the end of the Kickstarter fulfillment period.  If the knowledge that your friends who backed a Kickstarter campaign may receive their game several days or weeks before you do, you may want to reconsider ordering from The Game Steward.
16. Once a game arrives in our warehouse, it takes some time for us to process the order and prepare pre-orders to ship out.  This may take anywhere from 1 business day to 2 weeks, depending on the size of our order, the number of components needed to be shipped, and the number of pre-orders to fulfill.   Accordingly, we cannot make any guarantees about how soon your order will ship once a game arrives in our warehouse.
