Project Update: Let's talk shipping
Hey gorgeous,
I know shipping fees are a big consideration when backing a project, especially when the rewards are being sent from a different country. I plan on signing each book and packaging each parcel myself, so everything will be sent from the UK.
I want to keep the cost down as much as possible while also using a company I know and trust. Royal Mail might not be the cheapest option, but they're also not the most expensive. More importantly, they haven't lost or damaged any of the books they've delivered for me and that includes shipping international, so I'll be using them as much as possible. If the weight is above their max limit, then I'll use Parcel Force.
I've mentioned briefly before that shipping will be charged closer to fulfilment and I just wanted to explain a little more about that before the campaign ends today. I'm trying out Backerkit's new beta feature where you'll be charge shipping separately and at a later date. By collecting the shipping fees closer to fulfilment, it helps me charge the correct amount for postage at the time of shipping and it gives you the opportunity to spread the cost a little.
I will also have local pickup available, so if you're attending any of the signing events listed below, you're welcome to collect your rewards from me in person.
The Indie Pride Book Con - Manchester, UK - August 9th 2025
Dirty Outlaws Wanted - Watford, UK - September 13th 2025
