    Thomas, yours and several of the other international orders were (purposefully) delayed to make sure I'm shipping them correctly. I've had a couple of the US orders arrive to people as empty tubes (I'm assuming the problem is due to the inspection process - they weren't re-taping the ends.) I have to be sure, because - while I can afford to re-ship a few US orders, International ones are quite expensive ($10-$14 shipping). (More on this when I put up the post-mortem.) The second batch of the international orders will ship this week. You should receive an email the day before your ships. Drop me a PM or message if there are any questions. And absolutely contact me if you receive a shipping notification - and no package within a week or two! Once again, I apologize for the delays!

    @Jim - yours shipped in the first batch. (It's media mail, so there's no guaranteeing of delivery times.) Let me know once it arrives.

    I got the first delivery confirmation yesterday (for the ones shipping to the US). International orders took quite a bit longer to ship. (There's still a batch of international orders shipping this week) If you need status, drop me an email (anthony.clay@zarthcode.com) - and include the email address you used in the survey, and I'll get back with details on your order.

    Gratuitous Shipping Delays!

    I've spent the last few days on the phone with Stamps.com (Tech support there is very helpful, btw) trying to print a batch over over 160 stamps, shipping labels, and associated customs forms.  (Personal note to anyone who's listening: SDC-3110 3-part labels cannot be used in batch mode...no matter how much that doesn't make sense!)

    Instead of attemping to track all of those by hand (going for zero errors), I decided to order a Dymo labelwriter and some 7.5" long shipping labels.  Now, everything can fit in one spot, and still fit on a poster tube.  Guaranteed to arrive tomorrow - it'll blaze them out 51x faster than I can stick em!

    For everyone else: It's not too late to get your order in: http://shop.zarthcode.com

    The webstore is OPEN! Plus: Backer posters are now shipping!

    It's finally drawing to a close! 

    I've setup http://shop.zarthcode.com to sell the remaining posters. There are only 63 unclaimed sets, packed and ready to ship at this very moment, so get on it if you want to receive your set along w/the backers!  They are priced at $27 per set with FREE shipping within the US.

    I didn't anticipate that I didn't order the shipping labels needed - so there has been a delay in printing postage.  That's all taken care of now, so it's simply a matter of getting the labels printed, taping the ends, and sending it out of the door on friday!  If you're in the US, expect to receive them sometime next week.

    Eventually, I'll probably post a retrospective about this experience on my blog - there has been plenty of good & bad, and learning throughout!

    Thank you all for this awesome experience, it couldn't have happened without your support.

        Looking forward to the post-Kickstarter impressions of the experience. Oh, and looking forward to my posters!

    All backer posters are ready to ship!

    Sorry for the lack of updates!  All of the backer posters are *finally* packed and ready to ship!  Just need to make all of the postage/labels printed. (I expect them to be out of the door monday.)  This kickstarter is days away from being completely finished!

    In an effort to make sure it all got done on time, I've had to eschew the extras (like desktop resolution versions of the posters) for now, and concentrate on getting the posters done.  I hope you like them!

    Tonight, I'll be working on getting a store up for others to purchase a set.  There were lots of requests to simply give away the files so they can be printed elsewhere.  But the pricing I got was so great that I ordered plenty of extras, so I'd like to continue selling them myself, as a set - as they were meant to be. 

    This set managed to consume the entire wall!  If they continue to move, I'll create another set to address the other subjects.  Once everything is done, I'll be posting another update.

    Inductance & Capacitance Posters Are Here!

    The capacitance and inductance posters are here!  The transistors poster (after a bit of rework) has shipped, and the microcontroller reference is still printing.

    I've noticed that none of them quite translate well to desktop resolutions - making background images would simply require a brand-new layout for nearly all of the posters. Aspect is another issue, that can only be solved by simply making a completely different drawing.

    Once all of the posters have arrived, I'll be spending the next few days stuffing and mailing tubes.  More photos/videos as the posters arrive this week.
