Update #2: Shipping Details
Hi folks,
Lots of questions about shipping, especially international shipping. Here are the details. It's simple, really:
All prices already include shipping costs.
- If you're in the US, your items will be shipped 2 or 3 day priority mail.
- If you're international, your items will be shipped First Class international through USPS, which has variable delivery times based on the destination.
For our international friends, I'll also be offering an option where you can expedite shipping by paying the cost of the service. In this instance, I'll ship through FedEx. If this is something you're interested in, I'll have a way to let me know when I collect information once the project closes.
Since the support for the project has been overwhelming (THANK YOU!), right now I need to figure out how to ship about a thousand books. (Incredible!) The plan right now is to assign each donor a pledge number, and to announce as things ship by pledge number. (ie, "Books for Pledges 1-100 have shipped.") I'll be working to set up a calendar for order fulfillment once writing and production is finished.
My goal is for my communication to be as open, transparent, and frequent as possible. Hopefully this answers any questions about shipping. But, if you have any more, feel free to ask in the comments and I'll be happy to answer.
Thanks!
Frank

Project By
Has not connected their Facebook account.
Frank Chimero is a graphic designer, teacher, writer, and creative person in Portland, Oregon. His fascination with the creative process, curiosity, and visual experience informs all of his work. Each piece is part of an exploration in finding wit, surprise, honesty, and joy in the world around us, then, trying to document those things. Right now he's thinking about writing a book.
@Daniel, I'm in the UK and I've pledged on several projects with Amazon payments without any problems too.
@Chris Witham / @Jamie Apparently it's a flaw in the Amazon Payments system, that effects some people with pre-existing non-USA Amazon accounts. Kickstarter got in touch and said the work-around is set up a new, separate account which would then give me the option of a UK address. And it worked!
So I now have two Amazon accounts, which is a pain, but at least my pledge is now pledged :D
@Daniel Good point. Now that I think of it I have both a .com and .ca account with Amazon, which is a little annoying.
