GanZine2020: The History of Light and Dark

Absolutely!

We've purchased extras for those who missed it (it's been delayed for a while) for sets and extra merch for those who only want specific items.

The prices are increased though and are in market price instead of the preorder price due to production costs of extra sets.

After all the remaining preorders have shipped (international), we will run inventory again and open up the shop with customs sorted out.

As reference, here are the current prices for the sets (not including individual merch)

Hey guys!

Some people are getting notifications, I selected the wrong date to send out shipping date and emails (due to batches, I had to redo due to some errors in my initial one)

They are accurate, just loading and shipping them on this coming sunday.

Hello everyone,

This is the head mod, I'm back after some losses in the family, there was one in december, but two more that followed due to illness so it was a difficult time. I had to sell my car to pay for funeral expenses, so I appologize for the delay.

But, I'm back, and arranged for some help to get back in the swing of things and will get US orders shipped out (huge bulk) starting sunday and will be emailing everyone their tracking number. We will announce which ones are shipped off.

International orders we are figuring out the customs form so we are planning to ship out the week after. Its been brought to our attention that there is a VAT reform in and customs fees are paid so we are looking into this.

On another note, the person who was on watch for this blog was not able to recieve or see any messages in the ask box, I came to see that there were some questions about shipping. I hope this answers questions, and thank you to those who emailed to let us know and be aware of this issue!

We will announce on here when emails have been sent out and when packages are shipped.

Hi,

The head mod of our zine who is handling all of the shipping has had a set-back due to a family emergency occurring from a typhoon in late October (after we had finalized address updates and all of our packing and label creation had begun). Combined with nearing the end of the year, our team members in University have been busy with school. This zine is 100% for charity and all work by our team is done by volunteer, so the shipping of the zines (over 100 boxes packed) will be resumed after everyone has finished finals this coming week.

An email will be sent with the tracking number to all who ordered as soon as the packages are shipped out (estimated 27th - 29th).

Again, we would like to take the time to thank all of you for your immense patience with this project. We’ve experienced multitudes of issues and setbacks, and the zine has gotten pushed back much further than we all would have liked. We understand that you are all anxious to receive the products that you’ve paid for, rest assured that everyone’s orders will be shipped out shortly.

Please feel free to reach out with any additional questions you may have, and we’ll do our best to answer promptly.

Thank you!

Hello all, just a quick update.

We have sent out emails to all who purchased Ganzine. If you have received an email, it is because we haven’t heard from you to confirm your shipping address. Please check for an email from [email protected] and reply to confirm or update your address. (Please check your spam box, in case you haven’t received the email). If we don’t receive a response from you, we’ll assume that your shipping address hasn’t changed since the one you provided when you purchased your copy, and your order will be sent there.

All Ganzine contributors who have filled out our sheet have been contacted.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us!

Thank you to those who have updated and confirmed their addresses with us.

We will be sending 2 more reminders to those who have not confirmed throughout this week, and will give one more week's time have a chance to confirm it before it is shipped - no changes can be made after this.

Due to the amount of shipments to be made, labels are made in bulk to help make this process easy and seamless.

We ask for those who have not confirmed yet to check their inbox to see mail from [email protected], or email us :>

We did send an email, but upon checking, it sent to no one (there was no email recipients? Google may have glitched)

We are sending another one asap.

An update is we have 60 boxes packed so far, which is halfway!

For now, we request people to update us with their addresses in an email as soon as possible if they have moved [email protected]

IMPORTANT UPDATE: SHIPPING NOTICE

Hello everyone! Thank you so much for continuing to be patient with us. As you know, we’ve run into a lot of production issues relating to COVID, switching manufacturers, and trying to print in the midst of a paper shortage.

Well we’re happy to announce that the printed zines have (finally!) arrived, and we will be checking, packing, and shipping everything out in batches starting Next week to avoid holiday rush.

After packing the current orders and checking inventory, we will open up sales for the extra copies, which includes bundles for those who missed out on the preorder. Please note that the prices for these bundles are not the same as the preoders and are market price.

Again, thank you so much for being patient and we hope you enjoy all of the hard work and effort from our artists, writers, editors, and mods that went into the creation of this zine, fic book, and its merch.

There are updates but I was writing one to reply it got deleted as I stepped away.

So now the books themselves have arrived!!!

I've are now just waiting on the zine itself to arrive.

__

There was another ask here that dissapeared as I stepped away and i cannot find it in the drafts but to answer that:

"Hello! Have there been any shipping updates?"

We have not shipped yet as we are waiting for the last thing to arrive- the zine itself.

As for Shipping, due to the gas price hike, the shipping prices have also risen i have not made labels yet due to the uncertainty of the book arrival. I will be paying the difference myself.

The zine manufacturer we went through worked with our budget to ensure it arrives without the price increase months ago, unfortunately that sacrificed time as the supplier I was talking to was not aware that we are not attached to the mainland US. It is a blessing that they worked with the budget and we had, and even upgraded the quality of the paper to a more higher quality one for a similar price of the intended print.

Great news as well, is the manufacturer of the hardcover books gave us an extra 18 books for free to sell to help with the charity (they wanted to contribute a bit it was touching ;-;) so we will be having left over sales and extras for those who missed the pre-order.

Hello!

I was just about to announce that the hardcover books themselves have just arrived.

I've only opened one box (to not risk others rill shipping day) and they are all individually wrapped in plastic.

The books were reedited earlier this year to fix margins. All is good for this

Now waiting on the zine itself.

Thank you so much! This honestly means a lot during tough years.

hello!

Yes, it is still live.

Like chinese new year update earlier this year, we are waiting for the books to arrive as the manufacturer we were looking at was no longer able to print the Fic Book.

This one is a quick update and preview! • Different manufacturers have sent the 1st proofs • first proof of the book arrived - changes need to be made for the final print (text is too close to the edge) • Zine proof Arrived, edits being made (bleed at top needs to be extended • rest of the merch arrived. All the merch is here • After the edits, large production will commence, it will take about 2-3 months for them to arrive. shipment delays will be due to supply lines.
