Survey Advocate: …And then, we should follow up with the customer about a week later with a survey.
Survey Advocate: See what they thought about the service, the rep they talked to, etc.
Critic: What if they don’t respond to the survey right away?

[[The advocate appears somewhat irritated.]]
Survey Advocate: Send them ANOTHER survey to see what they didn’t like about the FIRST survey! If it wasn’t a well-designed survey, we should know!
Critic: And if they don’t respond to THAT?
Survey Advocate: If they don’t respond to THAT – or to the survey that FOLLOWS that – or to the one after THAT – WELL –

[[The advocate is now visibly angry.]]
Survey Advocate: I want surveys to pop up in their browser. I want to be TEXTING them surveys. I want to MAIL them surveys that look like handwritten birthday cards, with no return address. I want surveys to FOLLOW them like student loans, non-dischargeable in bankruptcy.
Survey Advocate: INESCAPABLE.

Survey Advocate: I want to flyer their CAR with surveys. want to get their DOCTOR to PRESCRIBE them our surveys. I want our surveys to be CARVED INTO THEIR TOMBSTONE. Below their name, but above the dates.
Survey Advocate: Because, remember! Our number one priority HAS to be CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

Bolted! Fulfillment Update

May 25, 2026 by David Malki !

The vast majority of Bolted! game shipments are already shipped, but I understand if you don’t have yours yet, who cares. Here’s a progress report:

Total orders | 1052
Surveys completed | 992
Fully shipped | 946

Incomplete surveys

Obviously, if I don’t have your shipping address, I can’t ship your game! Let me know if you are missing a survey link. As new responses come in, they are rapidly added to the shipping queue.

Orders containing certain add-ons

Some of the add-ons proved more popular than expected — which is lovely! But it meant I had to reprint some stickers, make all the individual comic prints, request a shipment of books from offsite storage, etc, etc. So, any orders which contain an out-of-stock item are still waiting to ship.

All that missing stuff, though, is en route to me at this very second! So those orders will be going out pretty dang soon!

Custom items

I’ve already been in touch directly with the backers who ordered custom collages! Those will be created (and sent to you) after all the other shipments are complete. I’m excited for those, they’ll be fun! My pleasant dessert after the hearty meal of all the other orders.

Anything wrong?

I’m very grateful to the few folks who’ve contacted me to report some kind of issue with their shipment! Thankfully, problems are rare, but when they do occur, I would like to solve them. Please don’t hesitate to send me an email (replying to your shipping confirmation works great) if there’s anything about your order I can correct.

Reviews & photos

On BoardGameGeek are highly appreciated!

Unless you hate the game! You are entitled to that opinion, but please send that review directly to me instead of telling anyone else, so I can eat it and bury it in the yard and watch it grow into a twisted, gnarled tree. Or whatever!
