I’d not received a shipping note but I just went back to the order and saw it has some DHL details there. My usual parcel tracking app doesn’t seem to like it, but clicking the link through to DHL from their order page seems to suggest it is en route.

Not super familiar with them, but their international site seems to suggest they're more of an established publisher - https://www.maximumgames.com
Regular editions of Cris Tales (all formats) seem to be through them too, but available non-direct, at Amazon and the like.

The whole pay now wait a few months to a few years that these publishers are running on seems to be a real downfall of the system at present. its open to exploitation and offers massive risks to the consumer as a transaction from a year ago falls well past the refund window of most cards and payment services.
Company's like Limited run shouldn't be operating like this still as they seem to do massive production runs of certain things with preoders staying open for a month before they even enter production. They really don't need to be running hand to mouth anymore the only reason i can see them doing this is sitting on vasts amounts of money per production more than likely nets them a very tidy side income too.
A non refundable deposit would be a lot fairer and more balanced way of doing this going forward.

I must admit my taste for these releases is disappearing. They no longer feel like they're doing a service to the community. We've also seen the first wobbles with the Dispatch Games fiasco. I wonder as this market place gets more crowded, how do the ones that can throw less cash at a developer survive?

They're one of a few different places that sold that Undercover Cops set - but it's a Retro-Bit product rather than a Limited Run release, which will likely be why it's not listed on their schedule. There's an FAQ they have on their site which has the below;
Q) When can we expect to receive this collection?
A) Depending on various factors as well as the number of pre-orders received, our best-case estimate would be late summer to early fall.

It's been said a lot in here already, and say what you like about their intentions, but no matter which of these small-batch publishers you're looking at, they all need patience. You're not going to place an order with any of them and have an Amazon guy knocking at your door the next day.
