@FinalSpace@OlanRogers Being from Northern Ireland and having the majority of the shipping issues is weirdly nuts to me but anyway my point is
That I am holding out hope to finally see the ending of my favourite show that got cancelled.
Hope yous can figure it out and it all goes smoothly 😎
Happy Final Space Friday! 🚀
Making lots of solid progress on shipping, so here’s where we’re at!
Canada: We brought on two export/import consultants, Marco and Maria (THANK YOU!), and it turns out that if you bulk all your Canada orders onto one truck, you pay ONE duty fee for the entire truck. Which is insane, and I’m not sure how normal humans are supposed to know that, but now I do. So we’re batching all the Canada orders together, which means about 1,457 orders moving throughout next week. By the end of next week and a bit of the following week, Canada will be shipped and wrapped up! 🔥🚀
I went to France last weekend. I’m back now, but it was so cool to hand fans the pre-order book and close their order out right there, and it sparked an idea!
UK: You’re our Godzilla. You’ve got the most. We’re still shipping to you every day, but here’s the crazy idea: what if I pay to get the 5 pallets to get across the ocean and do a bunch of book signings where you can come pick up your copy? Might it honestly be the faster way? It’s a whole new set of costs on me I have nothing figured out yet but we’re getting quotes, getting this done is my priority. We’re trying to get creative to finish all of this.
Australia: Same idea. I’ve had more return-to-senders from those two than anywhere else. I need to visit anyway for a few projects I’m writing, so maybe I bring the books, do signings in a few cities, you pick yours up, and we take some pictures and whatnot. We’re still shipping in the meantime. It’s just so slow getting there, and I’m tired of books getting lost, so I may have to do this one personally. Not many left here either it’s maybe on Pallet, and it’s done.
✅ Done: Japan, Peru, India, Romania, and Taiwan! Book ordering is closing for those countries now. By next week, only 22 countries will be left.
📦 We’re also still processing reshipments, major damages, and lost packages. We did about 123 of those this week. Overall, we got another 600 out the door.
Once we get through the big four, this will be a breeze. Thank you for hanging in there with me. Holy crap kind starting to see a little light at the end of this tunnel. We’re getting through it. 💛
