Update #11: Post Office Follies

Posted on July 25, 2011

Hello, Dear Backers!

Saturday was mailing day. We got almost all the minibooks out, except to some International addresses, which will go out by mid-week. However it seems the nice people at the post office bashed open most of the domestic minibooks packages we sent, at our great expense and labor, and people are getting empty damaged envelopes instead of minibooks. Thanks, Post Office!

If you received an empty envelope instead of some minibooks, please let me know ASAP.

I'm also getting reports that some people have received their minibooks just fine, so there's some hope.

In better news, the remaining (not-promised-to-backers) minibooks are available singly or in bulk here: http://questioncopyright.com/mimi-book-ip.html  These orders will be filled by Amplifier, our very professional order fulfillment service who we really should have hired to handle the Kickstarter backer mailing. Live and learn!

Love,

--Nina

      I got mine like a day or two after you posted Update #11. Which surprised me, as I'm in Switzerland and I thought you hadn't yet sent out the international orders then. Re-reading this update now, I think I must have missed the "some" in "except to some International addresses".

      The envelope was in near-perfect condition and also filled with 30 instead of the promised 10 books (+ the one signed copy). Yay. :-)

      Now to distribute those all ...
