We are incredibly pleased to announce a new feature we’ve been working on for months called Bulk Order Fulfillment (BOF). BOF allows you to purchase a bunch of your games from The Game Crafter and ship them out to multiple addresses at the same time. Best of all, you get the bulk discounts as if you were shipping them to the same address!

Uses



Crowd funding campaigns, such as Kickstarter.

Christmas or Wedding gifts.

Copies for publishers and reviewers.

Play testers in multiple cities where you want to get each group a copy of the game.

Benefits

Bulk discounts as if they were going to the same address.

Crafter points - you get them all!

Accolades - BOFs count toward sales accolades.

You don’t have to spend a month in your basement individually packing and shipping boxes.

You can include multiple copies per order, even of other games you made, so you can use other printables and parts as perks in your crowd funding campaigns.

How Does It Work?

The reason it took us so long to build this was that we went through many iterations trying to make it as easy as possible. We think we’ve made it pretty simple. Take a look at the process through a series of screen shots.

Step 1: Download a sample spreadsheet.

Step 2: Fill in the names and addresses and what you want to send to each customer. Save it as a CSV file.

Step 3: Upload the spreadsheet.

Step 4: We’ll calculate the shipping on each of your games.

Step 5: Verify that everything looks good.

Step 6: Sign off that you have verified everything.

Step 7: The Game Crafter will have a look at the order, and ask questions or make suggestions if we can save you more money or frustration.

Step 8: Pay as soon as you’re ready.

That’s all folks!

We realize we could make this a couple steps shorter by just going straight from upload to the payment screen. However, we found in testing that users liked the ability to look everything over before going to the payment. We also know from experience that we can often offer advice on bulk orders that will either save you money, or at the very least save some frustration if we catch a problem that you didn’t.

So if you need to place a bulk order in the future, consider using our new Bulk Order Fulfillment system. Enjoy!
