🍁 SHIPPING UPDATE 🍁

October 23 Update:

International Zines: More than half the Paperback Edition orders have found their way home, and Complete Edition orders are slowly getting there too! 

Domestic Zines (US-only): All Complete Edition orders have been shipped and a few of them have been delivered! About a third of the Paperback Edition orders have gone out -- this is the biggest batch we’ve got to go through and there is only one of our shipping mod so we thank you so much for your continued patience! 

Digital Orders: Will be emailed out ONE WEEK after all physical zines have been shipped out.

General Reminders:

If you have any other question related to your order, please feel free to email us at kiribaku.ascent[at]gmail with your Order Number.

Digital copies will stay on sale through remainder sales: https://krbkascent.bigcartel.com/

What if I missed preorders? We’re sorry to hear some of you did not hear about this zine in time to place orders for the book, but we did order extras, so we may have a remainders sale a month after we ship! Do keep an eye out for it here or on Twitter as physical stock will be available in very limited quantities.

🍁 PRODUCTION UPDATE 🍁

Hello everyone! We’re in a waiting phase currently but as promised, your weekly update is here.

September 11 Update:

Zines: The proof is scheduled to ship out today! Keep your fingers crossed the delivery is quick. 

Bookmarks: We’re still within the 5-7 business days before these ship out, so no changes from last week.

Bookplate stickers: We’re following up with the vendor to check on the status of these as we should have received notice that they’ve already been shipped out.

General Reminders: 

If you have an address change, or any other question related to your order, please feel free to email us at kiribaku.ascent[at]gmail with your Order Number.

Digital copies are still on sale: https://krbkascent.bigcartel.com/

🍁 PRODUCTION UPDATE 🍁

Hello Kiribaku fam, here’s our weekly update. Sometimes it is just a waiting game, so that’s where we’re back to for this week.

September 25 Update:

Zines: Order placed, proof has been approved by their pre-press team. We’ve just heard they’re going into production this afternoon, so we’ll keep you updated when we find out when they’ll be done by!

Bookmarks & bookplate stickers: These have been printed with expected delivery by October 1!

Shipping supplies: We have received our labels, polybags, and eco-friendly mailers! 

Digital editions: As you may remember, the digital version of this zine will come in PDF, ePub, and MOBI formats for your e-Reader of choice, and helwolves is hard at work tweaking and adjusting this version for optimal reading. (We are still selling digital copies too, and if you’d like, you can get yourself one here!)

Shipping address confirmation: We sent them out last week, and we’d advise you to take a closer look if you haven’t yet; some buyers noticed typos from when they first placed the order, so it’s good to be able to catch those errors ahead of time! These emails may have gone to your Promotions tab or Spam folder, and the address will be from kiribaku.ascent[at]gmail[dot]com.

General Reminders:

If you have any other question related to your order, please feel free to email us at kiribaku.ascent[at]gmail with your Order Number.

Digital copies will stay on sale until shipping begins: https://krbkascent.bigcartel.com/

What if I missed preorders? We’re sorry to hear some of you did not hear about this zine in time to place orders for the book, but unfortunately we’ve already placed the final count with the printer and need to ensure we have enough extras in case some orders need to be replaced. But we did order extras, so we may have a remainders sale a month after we ship! Do keep an eye out for it here or on Twitter as physical stock will be available in very limited quantities.

🍁 PRODUCTION SHIPPING UPDATE 🍁

October 16 Update:

International Zines: Were shipped last week, and we’ve already seen a few of them make their way home! (Shout-out to Twitter user Dabsper_Speak for our first shot of an Ascent zine in the wild!)

Domestic Zines (US-only): In shipping out international zines we realized that our shipping platform did not update our store with which of the orders had been shipped. We’re currently working through this issue with our shipping platform, as it otherwise means we run the risk of sending multiples of domestic orders if it isn’t resolved. But in the meantime Wolves is working on packaging all the domestic shipments so printing out the labels should be the only thing left to do. No domestic packages have shipped yet, but we plan to do that ASAP, in batches. Please don’t worry that you haven’t yet received an email from us; we will let you know as soon as we start shipping!

Digital Orders: Will be emailed out ONE WEEK after all physical zines have been shipped out.

General Reminders:

If you have any other question related to your order, please feel free to email us at kiribaku.ascent[at]gmail with your Order Number.

We’re getting there! Mod @helwolves did a tremendous job laying out all the pieces these past few weeks and Ascent is looking great! We’re doing a few rounds of edits for it and planning to order a proof sometime next week — remember there are only 3 days left before preorders close on August 18, 11:59PM Eastern Time!
