is it true that they messed up the time for UK and Hong Kong??
I’m reading the posts on IG...

Ya I think they had them both listed two hours later than they should have been.

More like people confused BST with GMT.

Well its 6pm GMT, and they have them listed for sale at 7pm GMT. They also have Hong Kong going on sale in an hour. No matter how you look at it it's wrong.

There was a countdown on Sandra IG since this morning.
It's was easy to know the good time.

Please note that we cannot be held responsible for items lost in transit or for delays with Media Mail shipping.

i love when publishers put these meaningless terms/conditions on their listings. if an item is lost in transit, its 100% on them (not the buyer).

Ah crud - sorry about the typo on the timezones!

I am glad to see that 50% of our Deluxe copies went internationally though, so it does look like a lot of happy fans overseas.

I'm also happy to see that our anti-bot measures seemed to have worked as I'm not noticing any copies on eBay which is pretty rare as they seem to get listed pretty quickly. Will keep an eye out on the Bay regardless and will cancel orders if I can.

Thanks for the support ya'll!

Well done everyone who scored one. Looks like a number of successes. Great stuff.

TBH that's more just to encourage people to use Priority Mail instead of First Class or Media Mail.

The USPS is totally f*d up right as Trump is attempting to dismantle the postal service so he can disrupt the upcoming election (no postal service = no mail in voting), which coupled with covid means that all international shipments are taking forever. 

Heck, the Michael Reeder prints we shipped out in April are still in transit to the EU, just got notice that one delivered yesterday, totally ridiculous.

In regards to liability, that is questionable as we have noticed that some packages make their way to international carriers only then get waylaid there. TBH I personally think that if you live in Spain and the Spanish post loses your shipment, blaming the independent book publisher in the US is a bit unfair, but obviously it's not the customers fault either.

soupy - Feel free to DM me with your order number and I will personally look into your shipping options so that we can make sure you order arrives safely.

It's pretty expensive, but I've been assured by my distributor that we'll have copies available in the UK and EU later in September or October. If you have a local bookstore who would like to carry our titles just have them get in touch with me at [e-mail] and I'll connect them to our distributor, this'll save you on shipping!

Great to hear no copies on eBay. Just curious, what anti-bot measures were there? I checked out quickly and didn't notice any, or is it a matter of having a unique URL listed at the launch time?

You re right, more than 3 months to have my Reeder in France.

I won't divulge everything as we all know there to be plenty of flippers here, but it involved *censored* our listings so that we could *censored* the orders with the *censored* URLs.

It was an experiment but it does seem to have worked judging by the lack of listings on eBay.... (so far!)

What are you getting at? That is NOT when the edition went on sale. They have them listed for sale at 7GMT (OR 8BST), they went on sale at 5GMT (OR 6BST). No matter how you slice it - its wrong.

1 on Ebay from Portugal... I wonder how many of those 200 have gone to Portugal!  

I actually took a look and we dont have any orders going to Portugal, but it's actually not all that hard to list a false address on eBay so who knows where this one is actually coming from, or where the order is shipping too and being forwarded from. These flippers are a slippery bunch!

If anyone changed her/his mind, shoot me a PM.

[yaguisart]

Hi! I was interested in getting one but no lucky enough. If some one decides to sell it, pls DM to me.

Best!

[Poster Bob]

Great. Can't wait forward it on to the guy who bought it from me on Ebay.

59$ for shipping... This doubles the price of regular version... It's the reason behind the sticker givaway, maybe.

[sleazus1slord]

So if you pre-ordered and waited 8 months or whatever are you in the sticker drawing? Seems wack that you can buy one today for the same price and get the exact same book.

no.  she said so on her IG.  stickers only for reg purchases.  piss poor thing to do.  but will get a bump in her regular book sales.
