Please let me begin with an apology for the long delay since the last update. As mentioned, my wife and I were off on an overdue holiday (which was GREAT), but guess who got picked up Covid a few days later...? (sigh) I slept through most of last week recovering, and I'm still crawling a bit getting readjusted to a normal work schedule... 🥴

But despite that, I come bearing good news!

The warehouse confirmed today that everything is ready to go, and shipping labels will start printing tomorrow. There's no reason packages couldn't start leaving their dock as soon as Friday! 🥳

They typically tackle domestic US and North American orders first with all abroad International orders immediately after, so those should be out fairly soon, too. I would guess everything should be out the door by the end of next week.

You should receive a shipping confirmation with tracking information from "[email protected]" once your package has gone out. You may want to proactively make sure that address is white-listed in any spam filter or quarantine net your email server may use. We'll add that tracking info to your Backerkit once all packages have gone out, but hopefully you've already gotten your stuff by the time that data gets imported.

Also completed this week:

If you missed the mention on the campaign page, every pledge includes a number of Ambassador Points equivalent to your final order total (including postage). These are unique reward points that can be collected and redeemed for discounts and rewards on our webstore, and a great way to support Magnetic Press further (while building up a collection of cool books and stuff in the process)!

If you are already a webstore customer and part of the program, just log into your webstore account (which should be under the same email address as your Kickstarter/Backerkit account). You should see those new points added to your balance under the heading "CASSEGRAIN Backerkit Points."

If you don't have an account on our webstore, your points have been tallied, but you will need to complete registration for us to add them. 😊 

For a walkthrough of how to register, just follow the steps on our webpage: https://www.magnetic-press.com/how-to-join-the-ambassador-point-program/

You can use points for discount codes, gift cards, and occasionally for exclusive collectible items that you can only get using points! It's a fun program we'll build upon very soon!

If you don't see your CASSEGRAIN points in your account, or if you set up a new account, or if you have any questions at all about the above, please email us at [email protected] and we'll get back to you ASAP to be sure your points are properly awarded. Please note that if you haven't completed your Backerkit order, your points have not been awarded yet, so check to ensure your survey and any remaining payments are complete.

That's all for now. We'll report again next week once shipping is complete!

Thanks, everyone!
