Fulfilment is 98%

From the title you know the gist of this update...98% of the packages that shipped have delivered. That's HUGE! I had hoped that the last 4 packages going into Europe and Iceland would have delivered by now, but hopefully they will arrive soon.
There are still 2 individuals who have yet to fill out their surveys. I've done everything I can to get your attention, through Kickstarter, Backerkit and Direct emails, all to no avail. If you haven't filled out your survey and are expecting a physical book, I cannot ship it without your address, which I only receive from you when you fill out your survey so...
I do hope you enjoy the book as much as I did while creating it.
For those who would like an additional copy, there are still some Hardbound copies available in my online store https://sequentialstories.bigcartel.com/ . In addition, you can get a Kindle or Paperback version on Amazon.
This has been (even with the slight delays) the most enjoyable campaign I have ran so far, and that is all thanks to you. I truly appreciate all your support. By supporting independent creators on Kickstarter you make future comics possible, thank you for being awesome!

84% of Books have delivered

Good afternoon wonderful backers!
If you haven't filled out your surveys (there are only two of you now), and expect to receive a physical reward, I just resent your surveys to your Kickstarter email address through Backerkit. Please check your promotional, and spam filters if you don't see it. I would hate for you to not receive this beautiful book. PLEASE, fill out your surveys.
As you may know running a Kickstarter campaign has many steps, from the campaign, to getting the funds and then ordering the materials to the fulfillment. Each step has its own challenges and benchmarks to show when it is completed. I never consider a campaign 100% complete until all rewards have DELIVERED. So I monitor the shipments through my shipping software.
If you've filled out your survey, and are expecting a physical book to deliver, I am happy to report that 84% of the shipments I sent out have delivered with another 6% showing they are out for delivery today.
My hope is that by the of of next week, 100% of all packages shipped will deliver, thus making this a successfully completed project :)
I'd love to hear from you when you receive your copy, whether here, in the main comments, or on your favorite social media platform. If using social media, please use the hashtag #notsofairtales if it's not too much trouble.
Until next time.

100% Complete...sort of

Great news from the land of comics!
Today I completed 100% of all the shipping needed for this campaign (except for the 4 people who have yet to fill out their survey).
Everyone's rewards are on their way, some have already started receiving them. I love hearing from you when it arrives and seeing pictures of you with the book. Post to your favorite social media site or just leave a comment that you love the book :)
This book by far is the most beautiful thing I have seen and it was an amazing project to manage and be part of, but I couldn't have done it without you.
Thank you for your patience these last couple of months as we dealt with supplychain issues and customs delays. It was of course three months later than originally expected and planned for, but when you see the books I guarantee you will agree the wait was worth it.
Stay creative.

Packing and Shipping has begun!
over 2 years ago

Last night was very productive.
I was able to pack 132 rewards to be shipped out this week (some starting today)!
My goal is to get all the packing and shipping done by the end of this week, with the primary goal of everyone having their rewards by the end of February (depending on transit times and other delays on the transportation side).
Once you get your books, please let me know and post a comment, picture etc on your favorite social media site telling the world how much you love the book (and I know you are going to LOVE it).
Thank you for taking this journey with me. I couldn't have made this a reality without you.

Locking Shipping Addresses
over 2 years ago

Good morning!
Now that the books have finally arrived I plan on locking addresses in Backerkit this morning. This means that you have about 48 hours to make any last minute changes to your address before I start preparing the shipping labels to deliver your rewards.
It will take a take a couple of days to sort through everything and prep them for shipping, but I expect fulfillment to begin in earnest late next week.
Thanks again for the support!
