Project Update: March Update

Hello everyone!

Thankyou to everyone who backed our little card project we funded this month! When the funds arrive we'll be using our part of the profits to speed up the postage on Stay Frosty. There's not an awful lot left as it is, so the end is in sight!

Thanks for your patience and continued support,
-Dan

Maybe I missed it, but was there any movement on US shipping? I never received a Frosty Physical copy

Project Update: February Update

Hello all!

January is finally over, and it was a lot of month. Good news seems to be that the USA tariffs aren't going to be getting any worse (for now). We're continuing to send them steadily and I'm very happy to see people are receiving and enjoying the book! 

Thanks, by the way, to all of you who reached out to offer to pay extra to cover the tariffs. We appreciate the offer but we can't in good conscience accept anything, these are the risks of running a project like this. If we opened the gates to extra payments it would be unfair on those who can't or don't want to pay more. Instead we're going to raise some extra cash by: 

  1. Offering Stay Frosty for pre-order on the store. These will be done with the tariffs accounted for!
  2. Moving ahead with a small project to print new Troika initiative cards. This is done in collaboration with Iglootree, who have done all the design, and art for it already and will do the fulfilment when it is completed. We're just handling publishing and production. We will be using our share of the profits to complete or at least speed up the completion of Stay Frosty USA post.

Regardless, books continue to go out slowly but surely.

-Dan

Since it seems many of us in the US haven't got this yet, I've moved in the last month. Need to change my shipping address, so it doesn't go to the wrong place. Who can I contact to do that?

Project Update: January Update

Happy new year friends! Hope it's been a good one so far.

Fulfilment is rather humdrum for the most part. We've been chasing up the people who got missed in the cracks or came in late, and knocking away at the USA post.

The situation with the USA post is one you have probably heard already! We didn't bank on the regime ignoring court instructions to drop the tariffs in... what?... November? Something like that. While books are indeed 0% rated we have to spend 5x time as long on paperwork and pay courier "admin fees" on every parcel we send which, in addition to the WILD taxes on the shirts, adds up quickly and has led us to be several thousand pounds out of pocket above and beyond the postage we collected (and there's still more to go). Not something we can't handle, but we have to pace ourselves in order stay solvent.

Current schedule for the USA is unknown. We're actively working on it and will keep the monthly updates coming.

All the best,
-Dan
