Project Update: Shipping Charges In-coming
Hi all,
I have to say the support crew, in "Customer Success", are awesome. They're patient and so helpful. I've been figuring this stuff out on my own, mainly. I'm pretty sure I've messed stuff up, but thankfully they have humans at Backerkit reviewing everything before they even let you press "Continue". It's been very helpful, to put that gently. I have a background is "logistics". I've moved dozens of people, their camping shit, big shit, weeks of food and water, to remote places. I worked in shipping and receiving for a Borders Books for several years. I was the inventory manager for the store and I've learned a lot about shipping and receiving hundreds of books a day. So I never gave fulfillment much thought. The hardest part has definitely been getting the word out, setting up the project page, etc. So I didn't sweat the fulfillment. Well, it's not been easy. I don't have an office, much less a warehouse. But I'm also no stranger to having piles of boxes and books all over the house. I thought this part would be easy... anyway.
I figured out the shipping, and it's gonna suck. Prices hiked up over the past 4 months, although I don't think anyone is going to be surprised. You'll be getting an email this weekend about it, and you'll have a couple days to make any adjustments to your payments.
You should have until today, 11 September, to correct or check your mailing addresses.
If it all goes well, I should be shipping by next week.
Thank you again for your patience. Also pay attention to those automated emails!
