One of the questions we've received for Beyond the Lighthouse is about shipping costs and timeline—and given how things are with international shipping these days, we wanted to address this and alleviate those import fee concerns.
First off, La Lionne Publishing is based in Germany! Estimating the cost of shipping for crowdfunding campaigns is challenging to calculate this far in advance. We are doing everything possible to minimize the shipping cost for backers.
That being said, we have plans in place with a United States-based distributor for all orders from American backers. This means that your orders will not be delayed or overpriced due to tariffs increasing shipping and import costs. Because all the products available in this project are books/paper-based, all USA orders will be able to be shipped via media mail, which will also greatly reduce costs on that front.
Shipping will be charged via the Pledge Manager after the campaign ends on Backerkit. You will be able to add new items there, supply address details, and alter your pledge, right up until we begin fulfilment, which is currently estimated to be around Q2 2026 (April-June timeframe). You can also pick up your pledge order from conventions that La Lionne Publishing attends as a vendor in 2026.
