Yup. Dropped into my POL. After I received it today... :-(

Actually, I cannot be too upset. I have so much stuff to fiddle with over the next two weeks. Fortis can wait until Diesel comes in. It's just good to see him!

Great! Shipped my POL along with Bovis and soon I will have those two legs.

Now there will be a long wait for the other three.

Yup. When he didn't drop Tuesday (and my last day at work is Friday) I felt I needed to ship on Tuesday to give myself the buffer of Thu or Fri. (I reeeeaaaaaaalllllllyyyyyyy don't want to go into work on Monday just to pick up my POL.)

As with everybody else, Fortis dropped into my POL today. Along with a shipping charge. Isn't the point of POL that you can combine packaging to reduce shipping cost? I've never used POL before.
Anyhoo, I'll wait until at least Leo Dux is in my POL before I ship, possibly whoever's next in line.

Each shipment has an upfront cost plus the weight of the shipment itself. That charge was for the weight of Fortis only. The PoL system saves you from paying the upfront cost multiple times.

Arctorro was the right of it.

To go further into it: As an example using their UPS Ground option: an item costs its price and $6.49 + $.90 per pound.

Using the PoL, only the first item costs the above, everything else is price + $.90 per pound. Occasionally, you'll get an item that weighs little enough to not add to your shipping charge, but not often.

Thanks for posting this, very helpful. The same technique works for the guns?

So has anyone received Fortis yet?

Fortis and Bovis blade weapons comparison... And also switched them to using the other's weapon... Fortis' blades easily gets held by Bovis. The other way around and Fortis holds Bovis' blades a bit tighter...

Bovis' on top, and Fortis' on the bottom.
