Shipping materials, schedule stuff
Heya!
First of all, due to the unforeseen fact that we have to reprint the entire order of books, there's a few scheduling issues with my printer and it takes longer than we th...
Tracking mails should have gone out over the weekend. If you still haven't received yours, please let me know and I'll check again. The last batch of orders hit the post office on Wednesday. Since then, everything should be on its way.
3 people have not filled out their surveys yet btw. I can't send orders or charge shipping without those being filled out. I'll wait and continue to send reminder emails. Edit, a few hours later: After a talk with the Backerkit staff I have decided to refund and cancel these pledges, also as it started making me feel uncomfortable to sit on money of people I cannot send their bought goods to, and that I've been waiting for since July. Thank you for understanding.
It still has no properly set in yet that this whole thing is - essentially - over for me. Five years of work, of which the last one was extremely pushing, being over like that feels surreal to me, but also like a stone that dropped off my heart. A big thanks to everyone who has shown me pictures of their received books or told me about them arriving, it's a buckwild feeling that genuinely just fills me with joy.
Just received my book yesterday and I couldn't be happier how it turned out. I started following you on twitter years ago after seeing an illustration of yours. Amazing work, the book is gorgeous!!
As promised here's the "shipping is already going" update. Currently I have shipped 110 of 244 physical orders. These are all of the European ones (including Norway, UK and Switzerland) and a part of the North American ones. I should have all packages shipped by the end of the week. German people might have already gotten their orders.
Tracking numbers will arrive in the coming days as well, but if you really want yours right now, please inform me (Backersupport, Email (with the same email you used in Backerkit, I can't find you elseway!) or comment) and I will send it to you quick. I have to manually add this all in Backerkit myself which takes quite a lot of time that I have to structure into my working and uni hours, as well as the actual shipping task itself. Couldn't find a way to import the info DHL gave me, sadly. I'm doing this all on my own, so thank you for your understanding.
Hi,
I received the book today. It looks fantastic, even on a grey November evening. The multi-coloured pages probably look even better on a clear sunny day. I'm just amazed at how good the finished book looks.
Best regards
Way faster than was promised, but the books arrived! Two days ago in fact actually, but I was extremely busy due to uni and as I had today, Friday, free, I wanted to dedicate the day to them fully. Not sure what to say - they are amazing. I'm super happy. The binding is intact and has black thread too now, so it's completely invisible on the pitch black pages. Black inside and outside, it's exactly what I always wanted it to be.
Once again drowning in 500kg of books. I already wrote my printer about them and that I got the order, but he's currently sick with a fever so we will postpone a call until next week. Not much serious stuff to talk about anyway, just me giving some last input, and asking for the bill. Ngl, I'd really love to work with him again if I ever self-publish a book again in near or distant future. His company's support from day 1 on was amazing, and I'm really glad that the production error from September was handled well and with ease. Even though I was a bit frustrated at times, I never felt helpless.
But before I start rambling -
Love how the lighting makes the cover look completely black. The prints are in the big brown package on the left, btw.
I'm now going to check every single book by hand for quality, and sign it if it's in good quality. At the time I am writing this, I checked and signed 91 books of the 566 I was sent. Took me some time to find a flow for this, but tomorrow I should be faster, and hopefully all books will be signed by the end of the weekend. Once that is done shipping will start. I probably won't make a new update immediately once shipping starts, but some time later when the first orders have already been sent.
Thanks for sticking around! I'm super excited right now.
