Recently used the service for the first time, learned my lesson real quick about trying to put a contract in right before the weekend, never again. However I believe I will probably continue to use them on non-weekend days. Price isn't too bad considering, and same day shipment after finally being accepted.

Queue is short and contracts are getting completed within 1½ days.

how do you guys feel about going in and out of 5ZXX-K lately?

any special considerations or delays, considering the place is a shooting gallery at the moment? Smile

In a few moments you will have an experience that will seem completely real. It will be the result of your subconscious fears transformed to your conscious awareness.

It'd be great to have some kinda queue notice on the OP. Even if its something like : SHORT/MEDIUM/LONG and updated 2-3 times a week. Give people an idea on when a shipment will be ran. I find myself checking my contracts too often lol

The top of the trip calculator gives you what you are asking for already, detailing the number of contracts issued, accepted, completed in the last 24 hours, the current number of contracts in the queue and the number in progress, as well as a breakdown of contracts in the queue by age (> 48 hours, 24-48 hours, < 24 hours).

http://black-frog.red-frog.org/jumps.php

Since it's updated every 15 minutes from the API, it's vastly superior to an update in the message of the day, which will invariably be out of date before long.

We've just updated our message of the day to make it clearer that contracts over 340,000 m3 often experience lengthy delays. This is because over 340,000 m3 you start needing maximum skilled pilots and/or particular racial jump freighters, as each different race of jump freighter has a different maximum cargo capacity. Contracts of 360,000 m3, for example, can only be taken by a Caldari jump freighter pilot who has level V skills.

For the time being you are still welcome to set contracts between 340,000 and 360,000 m3, but you do need to be fully aware of the possibility of significant delays.

I have a short question...

I need to move stuff from null to HS because I was offline for 1 year and my corp doesnt exist anymore.
I have just a few things to move. Overall I think 3000 m3.
And a much lower colleteral then 1 billion.

So I wanted to ask, if there is any discount for me?
If yes, we can have a meet ingame for more details.
If not, should I set up the contract with the 1 Billion colleteral or the price of the cargo?

Best regards, Patboy.

Our costs of fuel, time and risk are the same if it's 3k m3 or 320k m3, so the price is the same as well. For less than 1B collateral you are free to set it to 1B or to the value of the goods... the value of collateral is entirely up to you.

Hi,
A simple question I did not see in the FAQ : would you arrange a price for a 2-way delivery (like Jita >> null >> Jita) ?

We price each delivery separately, as even when clients do put up contracts to and from a particular losec or nullsec system, quite often we'll have one pilot nearby the nullsec >> hisec route who'll take that, and a separate pilot who takes the hisec >> nullsec route, which means there are no savings in time or fuel.

I'm glad you guys are having nice fast completion times. I'm still waiting for mine to be picked up. First time trying this, and want to do another shipment as soon as this is completed. Low skills, so i can only have 1 contract at a time. Cry

Is there some delay at the moment? It's been nearly 24h and my contract is still outstanding. Judging from what I've read here it should have at least been accepted already. If not, I'm just impatient ^^

Contracts remain in the queue until a pilot is ready to begin working on them, at which time they are accepted. The reason for this is that once a contract is accepted, only the pilot who accepted it can complete it. So if we had someone accept contracts very soon after they were posted, but they got hit by a bus, there would be nothing any other pilot from Black Frog could do to pickup and deliver your contract.

Historically, about 65% of contracts are completed within 24 hours, 85% within 48 hours, and the remaining 15% a little longer.

Alright well I'm a couple hours away from 48h atm so I hope for delivery soon :) What timezone are most Black Frog pilots in?

EDIT:
Well over 48h now... I sure hope I set it all up correctly Ugh
