Book updates
Just a reminder of why I don't usually do pre-order items. The books are a pre-order item, meaning I do not have them yet on hand. I got an update from the printer and the books are being printed right now. They usually have a turnaround of 14 days. I luckily live only a few hours away from the plant where they are printed and the packages usually take about 2 days to reach me once they are shipped out. I normally like to have items on hand, ready to ship, but since we were facing Tiktok getting shut down, I had moved to try a pre-order. I get some people expect the items to be shipped right away or have never pre-ordered an item or backed something on Kickstarter. I've waited 2 years once to get an item I backed on Kickstarter lol. I promise I won't make you all wait that long.
I am also waiting on the signed prints from Jaysea as well for the first 250 books ordered. I have already printed off all the packing slips for the first 250 and those are set aside. I might be sending those out last, since I am waiting on the prints to be returned, so I will most likely be sending out the other orders as soon as I get the books, just to knock out half the current orders.
Reminder I am doing this all myself. I've been posting update videos of the process on how I am trying to make it as fast and easy to get orders out once the books arrive.
Again I am aiming to get all or at least half of current orders out by end of March.
Not gonna do a pre-order ever again. I will be going back to the way I normally do things, and will only offer the items I have available and ready to go. I'm not fond of stressing over making people wait. I've gotten a lot of messages from people across all socials and email who missed the part of the books being set as a pre-order.

Are people seriously giving you a hard time about this when you CLEARLY explained what you were doing?! Ugh! 🤬
A few emails and messages on other platforms. I don't think people read or realized what a pre-order is.
Some people can be so impatient! I ordered, I received a confirmation of said order, I noticed 'pre-order' multiple times, so now I cool my heels. We'll get it when we got it! No biggie.
Don’t stress - It seems that most of us are Hell’s Belles fans and we’ve pre-ordered Jaysea’s book. Most of us understand what that means. Don’t let a few rotten eggs spoil the batch! Also - I backed a kickstarter once and totally forgot because it took over a year and a half - then when it showed up it was a nice surprise!!
I believe you made it more than clear it was a preorder try not to stress
I've been keeping quiet in hopes I'm one of the 250
No worries, I'll look forward to getting it when they are ready. Sorry this is adding stress to the process for you.
No worries! Take your time!
Take your time! The fun thing about me is that unless it’s something that I’m consistently reminded of, I usually forget until it randomly happens (thanks ADHD lol) Sorry that this hasn’t gone as smoothly even with you clearly stating that the comic was a pre order. You’re a one man show, and also at the mercy of so many people (which happens) Either way, no rush on my end 😊
Yeah I need a wrangler at times lol. I'm unmedicated ADHD, well I have meds, I just hate taking them.
So sorry people are giving you a hard time! You were abundantly clear that these were preorder. They get here when they get here.
People can be so entitled sometimes. I'm sorry that you have to deal with that. It really doesn't make sense considering how many times you mentioned, wrote and displayed that they would be pre orders
I'm just not sure everyone knows what a pre-order means tbh. For the most part, after I tell them, they are cool with it and understanding. I think I've only had 1 person so far via email that was still kinda mad about waiting longer. But for the most part people have been cool about it after I explain it. I get being on alert, thers a lot of scammers out there.
Lol take your time I really hope I got one of the first 250
You take your time I am just excited to recieve it whenever I get it 😊
I’ve been waiting for over a year for a special edition preordered book box. A few months is nothing to me. You’re doing amazing and we all appreciate the hard work you’re doing.
Take your time! I'm personally i. No rush I'm just happy to support you guys! I'm so excited to get it!
