Latest Updates from Our Project:

FULFILLMENT BEGINS!

Good News: WIFWULF is fulfilling!

It's been an incredibly long journey - longer than any of us anticipated - to get here, but we're so thankful and proud to announce that the exclusive Kickstarter version of WIFWULF, as well as all the add-ons, will begin shipping to backers from our partners at Vault Comics this week!

Those of you who have filled out your surveys should be seeing your copies soon! We can't wait to hear you howl.

We are also still working on international shipping solutions, so we hope to have some news on that front soon.

That said, we are also getting reports that some comics and books retailers have broken release date on WIFWULF and begun selling the retail version a few weeks early. We do want to let you know that our priority - as always - has been getting the book to you, the backers who made it possible, before it releases at retail. To that end, we asked Vault to hold the retail version back for a few weeks - and they instructed retailers to not release the book until May 8th. It was too late to stop the book from shipping to those who ordered it - the rules of the book market are arcane - but if you see versions out there at your local shop, please know that those are breaking street date and it's out of our control.

Also note: the KS version of the book will never be sold at retail, so any lucky person who snapped one up from a retailer this week did not get the same book you will be receiving in the next few weeks.

Thanks again for your patience - we're all so excited to finally be putting WIFWULF in your hands.

Howling for you,
Dailen, Collin, and Jackson

IMPORTANT: BackerKit Update w/ New Shipping Rates

The Results Are In

Hey, WIFWULF pack!

Last week, we sent out our BackerKit surveys but found that there was a lot of confusion on our shipping rates - and especially a consensus that the shipping and handling number seemed too damn high. 

In concert with the team at Vault Comics, we've gone over our shipping numbers and have the following updates. While we know this is unlikely to satisfy everyone, please understand that it is simply the best we can do - especially given the current state of logistics and worldwide shipping.

FIRST: We have managed to reduce our shipping rates for US backers only at the following three tiers:

  • $18 Run with the Pack Early Bird: US shipping adjusted from $15.50 --> $8.85 (domestic media mail rate)
  • $20 Run with the Pack: US shipping adjusted from $15.50 --> $8.85 (domestic media mail rate)
  • $30 Join the Pack: US shipping adjusted from $15.50 --> $13.75

These numbers have been updated automatically for everyone, including for folks who already filled out their surveys. So you will only be charged for these rates, not the original rates, regardless of if you have filled out your survey or not. This will change the average shipping time from 1-3 days to 5-8 days, as we have achieved this in part by not offering priority shipping.

Due to parcel size, there's nothing we can do about shipping rates for shipments containing posters. That's just what it costs to move something that size around without a bulk shipping discount rate, which we do not qualify for.

Unfortunately, we are not able to make similar reductions in international shipping charges. We attempted, but at best, we could realize a reduction of $1-2 dollars - and if we did that, we'd run the risk of overall delivery issues that would be too complicated and costly to justify the minimal savings. Rates are based on flat full-pound cut-offs - so if we drop to the lower overall parcel weight tier, we run the risk of stuck, mis-delivered, or undeliverable packages. International shipping is simply an expensive proposition in the post-COVID world, so I'm sorry to say this is the best we can do for our international backers while ensuring you receive the book and your pledge rewards in one piece.

As previously stated, we appreciate your patience and your willingness to make your voice heard - but we also hope you'll understand that we have now done everything in our power to bring these numbers down. At this point, all that is left is to get you WIFWULF.

What's Next?

Please fill out your surveys! We will begin charging cards on all filled surveys in the next 48 hours, so those of you who have already filled out will see those charges post soon. 

Those who have changed emails, please let us know ASAP. We will collect those IDs and get these changed on the BackerKit side - this must be done manually, so please be patient as we get that info coordinated over the next few days.

Thank you again for all your passion and commitment to WIFWULF. We are so thankful to have you in our pack.

Howling for you,
Dailen, Collin, and Jackson

 


 

The Shipping Cost Is Too Damn High
about 2 months ago – Sat, Mar 23, 2024 at 09:58:51 AM

You Howl, We Hear

We're gonna keep this one short and sweet: we have heard from a number of our backers that the shipping cost for WIFWULF is simply too high. And we agree.

Here's the thing: these numbers were provided by our fulfillment partners and expressed to us as immovable hard costs. But after reading your responses, we have returned to them this morning with your concerns and the team at Vault understand the problem and are now in the process of finding a way to bring the shipping and handling numbers for WIFWULF down.

We will make sure we find a more affordable fulfillment option, then recirculate surveys to you so that savings can be passed along.

Thanks for making your voices heard.

BACKERKIT UPDATE: We're Back On! Fill Out Those Surveys!
about 2 months ago – Fri, Mar 22, 2024 at 12:26:49 PM

Whew! Back In The Game!

Thanks so much for your patience while we solved this issue! The good news is: the situation is resolved and the BackerKit surveys are ready for you!

For your info: the problem was caused by Backerkit having adjusted their internal system at some point between when the add-ons were initially imported and today when we hit send. This wasn't apparent on our end (or even in the thorough review phase), but Backerkit has fixed this for us: they've removed all duplicate KS add-ons from everyone's cart, and will be sending a message out in the next few minutes to folks who have already completed their surveys that they will need to re-confirm their KS add-ons. 

Anyone who DID complete your surveys already will need to go back through and confirm those add-ons to assure you are not charged. Feel free to do this at this link below:

 

Anyone who hasn't filled out their survey should be able to use the original link and make it happen! Please let us know if you encounter any other strangeness and we'll make sure it gets fixed.

Thanks again for your patience. So excited to finally get the book in your hands.

Howlin' for you,
Dailen, Collin, and Jackson
