Project Update: International Shipping Prices have been updated
Hey friends,
Just a quick heads-up: international shipping prices have been updated. I used Easy Ship to look through all the rates and tried to get the best ones where I could. Domestic stayed the same.
UK and Canada went down significantly, as did Australia. EU, unfortunately, is still skewing a bit high due to trade war stuff.
If you're in a country that's not UK, EU, Canada, Australia, or Domestic and want to see if we can get a better rate, hit us up at [email protected] and we'll take a look at it.
If your shipping charges didn't automatically update, hit us up and we'll see what's wrong. Backerkit said they should adjust automatically, but you never know.
Thanks for your patience, friends!

$60 for shipping? Really? I am getting another backed project which is sending me 4 books for $39 and you guys are charging $60 for one book? That was the best you could find?

Project Update: International Shipping Rates
Hey folks,
Sorry about the scare with international shipping rates. We usually ship through Shopify as it gets us the best rates, but this time it did not. However, I may have found a different solution with Easyship which is getting us much better rates via FedEx. Naturally, they'll still be higher than domestic shipping would be, but at the very least it won't be in the high tier.
I'm going to see if I can adjust it all in the Pledge Manager first. If I can't do that, I'll offer discounts after the fact. Do keep in mind that due to the ongoing foreign trade issues, rates have been going up quite a bit for all international shipping companies. Plus, shipping costs include the cost of handling/supplies, etc. Regardless, I will do my best to get a better rate for you all.
Thanks!

Project Update: Pledge Manager is Live
Hey everyone!
Just letting you know that the Pledge Manager is now live as we're nearly done with the PDF.
Here's what happens now:
Just letting you know that the Pledge Manager is now live as we're nearly done with the PDF.
Here's what happens now:
- We'll send a smoketest first, where 10% of you will receive the Pledge Manager link.
- We'll make sure everything is in good shape with the smoke test.
- Once everything is solid, we'll send the links to the rest of you.
- The Pledge Manager will charge shipping and let you add on any other items you want to pick up. It will also make items available for pre-order.
- We'll lock orders, addresses, and charge cards approximately two weeks after the Pledge Manager goes live.
- After cards are charged, we will release a "first pass" PDF so you can examine the content. If you see any mistakes, we'll fix them before we do a "final pass."
- About 2-3 weeks after the first PDF is released, we'll do a final pass and then send it to the printer (dice are already in stock, so we just have to wait for the book to print).
I don't want to put a hard date on anything just yet as the trade war this year (and still going on) has made things a mixed bag. But we are more or less in the end game now. At this point, it's just waiting for it to print, ship, and arrive.
If you have any questions, please let us know at [email protected]
Thanks again!
