Hey everyone!
A quick shipping update.
We’re still packing and shipping every day, and we’re getting close to the finish line. On Monday many of you will be getting orders.
Here’s where things stand:
1. Macmillan has all orders and is working through them. They’re now deep into the 30,000–40,000 order range. There are stragglers from earlier order numbers…because of address updates. One of the biggest slowdowns has been reshipping books that went to old addresses. International orders are also moving at different speeds depending on each country’s customs. Since I’m covering the import taxes, there shouldn’t be any extra charges when they arrive. It’s been amazing seeing thousands upon thousands of books showing up all over the world.
2. Honestly, address changes continues to be the biggest issue by far. 9 out 10 times when hasn’t gotten it in the batches we’ve sent out it’s been this.
3. Good news: every 2023 order has shipped. If you ordered in 2023 and still haven’t received your Color Edition:
• International: There’s a good chance it’s waiting in customs.
• U.S.: It’s most likely a delivery issue, an old address, or a package lost in transit.
If that’s you, please use the contact form on https://t.co/tQ526rDSEt with your order number so we can track it down and make it right. We’re also waiting on the final batch of tracking updates for those orders, which should be in next week.
4. 2024 orders are almost finished, and 2025 orders are starting to arrive.
I know it’s been a long wait. If I were shipping 50,000+ books myself, I’d probably die. All I dream about is shipping and packing. Macmillan has been an incredible partner, and I’m really grateful for everything they’re’ve done to help get these out.
Thank you all for your patience, your excitement, and your passion for Final Space. I’m not stopping until every single book is in your hands.
Will a few packages get lost, damaged, or delivered to the wrong place, or chewed up postal Velociraptor? Probably. That’s shipping.
But we’ll fix it.
If anything goes wrong or you’ve concerned, just reach out through the contact page with your order
@FinalSpace That's awesome that the Nashville Book Signing went so well.
I'm on the lookout for my book. Am aware I might get it before shipping updates.
I will be very thankful if you share my help post that I’m going to upload after this one. Today night I will again do work and also send some art updates for queue.
I need a surgery urgently in July. And need to pay rent before 26 June. I will be thankfull for any help.
@FinalSpace A belated Happy Birthday to you.
A big thank you for everything you do and also a big thank you to everyone who is helping you.
Can't wait for the numbers to enter the 40,000's.
