Project Update: Serenissima Obscura – New Year's update

Dear backers! 

First of all, let me wish you a Happy New Year. I hope you have all had a wonderful holiday season and are not already too stressed from work.

There is good news:
  • I have finally gathered all the shipping quotes. Unfortunately, prices have risen significantly since the end of the campaign – especially for shipping within Germany and Europe. However, we will still stay within the original estimates, or exceed them only slightly, because we are taking part of these additional costs on ourselves.
  • So far, books and printed paper maps remain exempt from import tax when shipped to the USA. There are a few minor tariffs, but these will be covered by the shipping fee.
  • The layout of the main book is almost complete. We’re not yet 100% certain that it will stay under 1.7 kg, but it’s looking promising. We should have a final confirmation by the end of next week.
  • The physical add-ons are "unproblematic" for the calculation because all packages with more than one physical item will fall within a higher shipping category anyway. 
  • I have  finished the more fiddly parts of the pledge manager and am going to send it for review to the Backerkit people by Monday. 

=> I expect to launch the Pledge Manager on January 20.

So, the wait is almost over.

Ok, yes, we still need to finalize the layout of the add-ons and move into printing, but everything is on track. Our anticipated shipping window in April is still solid.

I will update you soon!
