Update for June 21st, 2015

We have been reminded by a few of you that we are a little late on our update. The month of May has passed and we are now far into June. There have been a few more hiccups along the way. But both Jim and I want to assure you that we are working hard to move this process forward.

Again, we would like to ask that if you plan on purchasing anything at this time, that you read all of the posts concerning our current progress. We appreciate your purchases, they help us immensely in solving this problem, but we again want you to make your choice with the understanding that there will be a delay in the turn around. If you aren't willing to wait, please don't order. But also, by ordering now you will be ahead in the queue as we solve our production problems. Also, by ordering now you are helping us repair what damage has occurred.

Many people have suggested a Kickstarter to get us back on track. Both Jim and I feel that this might be something that we would be willing to visit in the future once we have again earned your confidence. In time we may open this up for discussion with the community. For now, just purchasing a mat or two would work in the same fashion. The profit we earn on each purchase goes directly to fixing some of the problems and in return you have invested in a future addition to your gaming table. Once we can repair what has gone wrong, the goal of course, is to turn our product out quickly and efficiently for the community. Also, again, we want all of you to understand that we have no intention of folding or running. This is our livelihood and we have much more in the way of product line that we want to share with the community, but first we have to fix this bump in the road. As we have said before, we are placing ourselves in the hands of the community.

Now, on to the update:
On the production side of things, we have gone seven weeks since our original post. In that time we have produced our way from May 2014 up to the middle of September 2014. Essentially 4.5 months in seven weeks. We have a few stragglers from all of the mentioned months. Mostly the resin orders. The temperatures in the month of May were erratic and without temperature controls in our workshop working with the resin has been hit and miss. I explained this in an earlier post. September is proving to be a little more demanding than I originally estimated due to a few massive orders. Also, in the month of May we ran out of some essential packaging materials which also slowed down our production process. Since money is very tight we had to make some painful decisions concerning the purchases of these materials. This has effected everything across the board.

On the shipping side of things, we are behind the production schedule. As we stated earlier the problems we encountered through last fall and winter assailed all aspects of our finances. Because of this we have had to balance production, with shipping, while paying the customers who've requested refunds back. This has slowed down the shipping end of things. But fear not, if you're a June or July order and you still haven't received your mat, you will very shortly.

Some of you asked for pictures, so we're dropping in a pic of some packages ready to be shipped out.



Best wishes always!
Kevin and Jim.

End Caps and Mat Samples Now Included With Mat Orders

We're including a couple new things with our Terra-Flex Mats. We're now putting end caps onto the tubes that the mats are rolled up on. This will provide a little extra strength to the tubes. And make them look a little nicer as well.

Also we are now including a 3x6 inch mat sample with each 2x2 ft. and larger mat. These we're including so you can experiment with paints and glues on them before painting and gluing the larger mat.

The Broken Blacktop Mat has Arrived!

We are very proud to announce today that the ZUZZY Miniatures Broken Blacktop Terra-Flex Battlemat we've been working on for so long has finally gone into production and is now available. The Broken Blacktop mat is the first in our Wounded City line of terrain.

ZUZZY Terra-Flex battlemats are flexible rubber with sculpted, raised details molded into the surface. It is terrain that can be used with nearly any game system. The mats are easily rolled out, instantly transforming your table into an ultra-realistic environment. And when used in conjunction with our resin terrain, your gaming experience can be raised to near dioramic levels. All of our terrain mats are available in 4ftX6ft, 4ftx4ft, 3ftx3ft, 2ftx4ft, 30inx30in, 2ftx2ft, and 11x14in sizes. The 3x6inch sample size is also available.

Terra-Flex mats can be used on a floor, draped over a small table, laid across your favorite gaming table, or even glued down on a permanent base. Once the game is over the mat can be easily rolled up and stored away in the convenient plastic sleeve that it was originally shipped in, taking up little more room than a folded up umbrella.

The Broken Blacktop mat is the fourth style of Terra-Flex mats joining The Sulfur Fields, Scourged Forest, and Moorlands battlemats that we have already released. The Broken Blacktop mats are available today in the Wounded City section of ZUZZY.com.

Moorlands Gaming Mat Release Date and Advance Ordering

We've been working hard to get our new Terra-Flex gaming mat, The Moorlands, ready. And we're getting very close now. The mold is complete and we have started production. And we're painting up the first of them to take photos for the website. Our current expected release date is May 20th.

Advance orders are now being taken. You can order your Moorlands mat here.

New Lower Shipping Rates For U.S. and Canada

We now have new, lower Shipping Rates. We've changed the formula in making our gaming mats so they're a lighter weight, more flexible mat, resulting in lower shipping rates for the U.S. and Canada. International customers shipping rates won't see a change as we were already charging the lower rate. We only charge our actual cost on average for shipping, never an additional charge for an added profit.
