Greetings Backers!

TL;DR: Your package is in the mail. You can see tracking on your package by logging in to your Backerkit account. (Click Here to login)

We dropped the final packages at the post office on Wednesday. Everything for this project is complete and delivered so this will be your final project update.  (Though we may ping you with a future project announcement when we have one) I will continue monitoring this project, watching for the 24 people who have yet to fill out their surveys or the 3 people with declined payment to update their orders.

If you discover that you want more of any of the items from this project, they are now available in our online store. (Click here for Maxims store).

As always: If you have questions, if your package didn't arrive, or if it arrived damaged, please reach out to [email protected] and I will make it right. We want you to be completely happy with what you receive for supporting this project.

Thank you so much for believing in us!

Greetings Backers!

Time for another full status report.

TL:DR: 

All of deliverables in this project are complete. We're in the process of getting everything shipped out to you. Your next (and possibly final) status report will be the week of September 9-13 or as soon as we've sent out the last packages. 

We’ve still got 43 backers who haven’t filled out their surveys. If you’ve lost your link you can click here to login and finish your survey. I can’t ship your items until I know where to mail them!

1017 orders are complete and delivered. 
71 split shipping orders are yet to be processed and postage printed.  
About 80 split shipping orders have postage printed and are going out this week.

690 packages do not have split shipping. We'll start on these orders next week.

If you have questions about the status of your particular package, I’m happy to answer them, just email [email protected].

Details
We finally got our shipment of Seventy Maxims books on August 14. Two pallets of books arrived at our warehouse. They're beautiful. We immediately began the process of printing postage and starting to get packages into the mail. The process is more complicated than usual because of the split shipping for rolled posters. Since those orders already had their addresses locked, we began with shipping out those. Hopefully we'll get all of the split shipping orders into the mail by the end of this week. Then we'll start sending out notifications so that people can double check their addresses before the package ships.

We sort and manage our packages by contents rather than pledge level because that allows us to be far more efficient when packing orders at our warehouse. We're hoping to have all the packages into the mail by September 6.

For those of you who requested that items from this project be shipped along with your Mandatory Failure order, you'll need to follow updates on that project to find out when your items will ship.

That's it for our update this time. Short and sweet. Thank you so much for backing our project!  Your next (and possibly final) status report will be the week of September 9-13 or as soon as we've sent out the last packages.

Greetings Backers,

Look what I have!

This is an advance copy of the second printing of Seventy Maxims of Maximally Effective mercenaries. I also have a bill of lading that tells me two skids of these books are on a truck headed in my direction.  I don't have a specific delivery day yet, but it is likely to be during the first half of next week.  As soon as I have books in hand I will start shipping out packages.

Now is a great time to update your address: Click Here!
If your package has been split because you ordered posters in a tube, you won't be able to update your address and you'll have to email [email protected] to have me do it manually.  But if your poster arrived and you haven't moved, you should be good to go. 

I'm really looking forward to getting these packages shipped to you.
Thank you for backing the project!
Sandra 

Greetings Backers!

TL;DR: It looks like it will be August before I have Seventy Maxims books, which is very frustrating. There are only three days left on Structuring Life to Support Creativity, don't miss out!  Your next update will be the Week of August 19-23.

Structuring Life to Support Creativity by Sandra Tayler is a book full of concepts, tools, and activities to help you build space in the life you have for the creative work you want to do. The book is drawn from 30 years of experience in juggling creative work along with everything else. The whole book is written with a focus on adapting for how your brain works instead of trying to change you to fit expectations and includes such topics as Managing Mental Load, Arranging Your Physical Space, The Problem of Motivation, and How to come back to your creative work when life goes sideways.

We'd really love to fund an Audiobook and an offset print run before the project closes on Thursday July 18. We're close!  CLICK HERE TO SEE THE PROJECT.

Thank you so much for your patience as I pitch this project at you one last time. After this we'll return to your regularly scheduled Schlock Mercenary and Seventy Maxims updates. 

Thank you so much for backing our project,
Sandra & Howard Tayler
