about 1 year ago – Mon, Feb 13, 2023 at 06:07:03 AM

Hey all, Robin here.  Just wanted to drop you a quick note and let you know about two important happenings.

Esrahaddon Kickstarter is Live!

First, we launched Kickstarter for Michael's latest bok: Esrahaddon! This is the final book in the Rise and Fall Trilogy, chronicling the life of one of Riyria's most interesting characters. We are offering the standard fare:

  • ebooks
  • regular hardcovers
  • limited edition hardcovers

You can even purchase book #1 (Nolyn) and #2 (Farilane) if you missed them.

The project was funded in the first five minutes, hit six figures in less than an hour, broke our last funding record within two days, and is currently the 9th most-funded fiction Kickstarter of all time. We are 94% of the way to its first stretch goal, and if reached, the book's matching bookmarks will be signed.

Winter Sale is live!

Second, we are having a huge sale on all of our backlist books, including:

  • Legends of the First Empire slipcase hardcover sets - Save $52
  • Death of Dulgath & Disappearance of Winter's Daughter hardcovers only $10 (new) & $5 (hurt)
  • 1st Edition Age of Myth Remainders
  • Save more than $22 on a Nolyn/Farilane limited edition hardcover set.
  • Save 10% - 82% on over 50 different offers

So if you were looking to get Michael J. Sullivan books for either yourself or loved ones, now is the perfect time to do so.

Quick links for both:

As always, Michael and I thank you for your support!

Canadian tracking numbers
almost 4 years ago – Mon, Apr 27, 2020 at 02:59:08 PM

Well, we are frustratingly close, people in Canada.  Here's where we are.

  • All the books are packaged and I have tracking numbers for them.
  • I've not yet uploaded them to BackerKit because when trying to track them right now, they come back as invalid.
  • Why? Because the sitting at the fulfillment center and as such, they don't show up in Canada Post's system.  
  • Why? The fulfillment house wasinformed by Canada Post late on Friday that they had to suspend pick up in Mississauga because the current volume of parcels in Canadan Post's warehouse is over their capacity.
  • The fulfillment center is hoping that those packages will be able to be picked up on Monday.
  • Once they are scanned by Canada Post they will be active.

I'm going to keep in communication with our fulfillment partner and watching the tracking from Canada Post, and as soon as I see the tracking numbers live, I'll post them to BackerKit and you'll get an email with your tracking number.

We'll get there people!

Canadian Shipment Update
about 4 years ago – Mon, Apr 20, 2020 at 02:16:50 PM

We have been in constant contact with the Canadian fulfillment partner, but until we got verification that books were shipping, I didn't want to update you all until we knew they were going out.  Well, the good news is at hand.  The books should be going out this week.  Here are some updates from my fulfillment partner:

  • 4/06/2020 8:39 PM - We’ve had a paperwork issue with another skid from the same shipment.Should be cleared today. Usually we received shipment 2 days after clearing.

  • 4/10/2020 12:42 PM - We received shipment from Buffalo yesterday but haven’t checked it yet. As today and Monday are holidays in Canada, we should be able to check reception on Tuesday, and start orders preparation soon after. We have still a backlog of orders from Snakes & Lattes and a few pending campaigns to complete before. It should be a matter of days before starting your orders.

  • 4/16/2020 1:58 PM - Your shipment has been verified. Everything is fine. We’ll start shipping next week. Please consider that our workforce is reduced by the current coronavirus situation and be sure we’re doing our best.

As soon as I have tracking information, I'll post them to your records.  It's been a long hard road, but it looks like we're getting there!

IMPORTANT NOTICE: For change of addresses for non-US and non-Canada people
about 4 years ago – Fri, Mar 27, 2020 at 12:48:21 AM

Hey, all.  Spiral Galaxy has sent an email to all of the people in Europe and other parts of the world (except Canada, US, and Zambia).  In it they have included the mailing address they will be sending to.  If this DOES NOT MATCH where you want your package sent - respond to their email and update the addresses.  

YOU MUST DO THIS BEFORE 9:00 (UK TIME) MONDAY!! 

Keep in mind, that many Business addresses, Post offices, and Parcel shops are now shut. Also note, they will NOT be able to divert a parcel to a new address once it is dispatched.

One last note: If your address is fine there is no need to respond to the Spiral Galaxy email. 

Books arriving soon!

Non US Shipping Update
about 4 years ago – Wed, Mar 25, 2020 at 02:00:14 AM

Okay, so things are finally starting to move along on this front. 

  • The overseas pallet made it to the docks and then on to the fulfillment house. They have unpacked everything and report no damage during transportation. They have prepared a spreadsheet with final shipping costs and presented us with an invoice and I sent an International Wire Transfer to pay for their services.  The thing I'm not 100% sure of, is how long it takes for the Wire Transfer when dealing with overseas money transfers. I've only done Wire Transfers in the US and they go through in a few hours.  I'm going to expect it will take a few business days at a minimum.
  • As you may or may not have heard, the UK has hit a lockdown, but our fulfillment company is (at this time) open for business. All admin personnel are working from home, those with health issues are sequestered, but they do have staff that can do the shipping. Hopefully, this won't change between now and when the Wire Transfer hits their bank.
  • For people in countries other than the US and CANADA, you will see an address verification coming from  spiralgalaxygames.com.  I would follow the instructions on it to make sure your address is correct to ensure the packages arrive in a timely manner.
  • In other news, the new Canadian pallet has left Madison VA and is due to arrive in Buffalo NY tomorrow.  Then the fulfillment company will forward it to their Canadian address.  I'll let you know more as it moves along. 

That's all the news for now.  We're doing all that we can in some pretty extraordinary circumstances to get the books to you.
