POKET PARTY (book) UPDATE

Journal Entry: Fri Nov 11, 2011, 12:29 AM


I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and new year~ Here is an update for pre-order-ers !! Poket party is ready to be shipped.

  • I will be sending them in batches (around 45 to 50 at a time). I'll keep this page updated as to which orders I have sent and not so, etc.

  • My trips to the post office for those batches respectively will be on the 11th, 14th, 17th and 20th. It's safer to not post all at once and this will give me enough time to rest in between since I'll have to pack everything / fill in forms :3c

  • As soon as I pack your order for the batch, I'll contact you checking your address again! I will be keeping hold of your copy no matter what until I get your OK to post it. It's better to be safe than sorry and it has been a period of time ^^;

  • The average it takes to arrive from around the world is a week or two! Though this may take longer or shorter, post has a mind of it's own \o/ I really hope you do enjoy the book!

  • I'm happy if you are interested in ordering this later on! I'll be putting Poket Party up for normal order straight after a January convention, Waicon. Yes I'll be selling copies there.


Congratulations! The raffle winners picked by a random number generator are as follows;

Eirin plush, ;#170

Prints ;# 5, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18, 20, 24, 25, 26, 30, 31, 32, 34, 36, 42, 46, 47, 50, 51, 55, 61, 65, 69, 71, 72, 77, 80, 82, 83, 84, 87, 89, 90, 92, 94, 96, 99, 101, 103, 107, 109, 113, 115, 119, 120, 121, 126, 127

If you have won anything I'll mention so when I check your address again.


All sent!!

Pre-orders are now closed! Thank you for your support!

A note for people who have pre-ordered:

  • If you have not paid the invoice yet, I'll cancel it and the whole order by the end of this month. If you cannot make it in time just send me a message I'm happy to extend if it's reasonable

  • I can't send this month because I haven't sent this to the printer and I don't even have the charms yet! I really didn't think this month I would be able to close OTL

  • I want to avoid sending before Christmas time, thus December. This is because around the world post offices are going to close at different times and I don't want to look up how long everything will be in transit. There's also more letters and parcels sent than usual in Christmas time, it's a messy period

  • Also I cannot draw out 130+ sketches that fast HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA....haha....ha

  • tl;dr! the plan is to send them out early/mid January but I'll contact you all individually

So that's the last update and the last time you'll hear about this until I start sending them out. Thank you again! This was really overwhelming and I was /really/ expecting to get to this stage in a couple of months, not a week!; I hope you guys enjoy the book and I hope it does Pokemon and how cool it (still) is, heaps of justice! (幸)(幸)(幸)

__________SHIPPING AND HANDLING:_________

tl;dr, A single book sent via international airmail will cost $8 – and within australia; $4 The packaging is thick (a bubble mailer) and I always write "PLEASE DO NOT FOLD OR BEND!"
If you wish to order more than one copy or order the touhou book with this one, this table defines the postage and handling charges. Don't worry about this too much if it's confusing, I'll always do the math for you;



+I can combine shipping with the touhou book but since pre-orders won't we shipped for a while I can always send it separately. It costs $1 extra to send it out separately when shipped via airmail.
+Registering shipping means that it is insured, thus, I can only guarantee delivery for registered airmail shipping. In return though it.... is......... a ridiculous price. I have no responsibility for lost items.(Normal shipping is pretty safe from experience. There will always be a chance however it does get lost; )
____________________________________________
____________PAYMENT METHODS:______________
This is what I can definitely accept worldwide:   
In specific areas I can accept many, many more.( probably 90% of all credit or debit cards) This is check-able at [step 4] below.

Payment will be done via Paypal's merchant feature.(so you do not need a paypal account!)

For Australians I can accept Bank Transfer and mailmoney/money order as long as I'm not responsible for the risks!;

____________________________________________
_______________HOW TO ORDER:_______________

1. Actually READ THIS PAGE, no really!
2. Titled along the lines of "ORDER", Please send me a note filling out these details v. I prefer DA, but those without a DA account can fill this form by sending me a email at: Namieis@hotmail.com

+++Which book and how many copies to order: (pokemon XX)
+++Residence: (Australia/Elsewhere)Confirming postal address is @ step 5, not here

----------------------------------------------------------
(We can talk what you prefer from the 'extras' After you get your order number!; )
3. I will send you an invoice to your email. I will also reply when I do. I'll try to reply within 24 hours but when i'm busy do not worry if my reply is late ;;
4. Follow instructions in the email. Here you can pay with any of the methods mentioned above.
5. Once payment is cleared I will send you another note, confirming your address, asking what extras you would like and giving your order number(s). Please reply with any changes, ect.
6.  Items should be shipped by batches early February the latest, January earliest (TBA) Before I ship anything I will ask for your OK again. If you won anything I will notify you.

_____________PRE-ORDER EXTRAS!_____________
      
  • This is going to kill me and I don't know why I'm going to do this to myself, but every pre-order will include a small sketch of your favourite trainer! Or any pokemon related equivalent. Just make sure you tell me!

  • The first 80 pre-orders will receive a 1" plastic acrylic charm. This will be the only way to get these charms! The first 40 get to choose which design they want, the rest will be randomized.


    I will upload a Photo of these charms once they are actually sent to me!; haha;; These numbers only include people who have who have already paid and have their order number- this is so people that "reserve" slots don't get an advantage

  • RAFFLE Your order number(s) Will be used to draw out prizes from a raffle. For every possible 10 preorders I will toss in 2 free prints of (mostly) anything in my gallery. If slots fill up I'll make this double! This means at full preorders potentially 52 people will receive prints with their order, a 40% chance of winning!
  • ** this will be picked out of the first 130 orders now to keep chances fair
  • If you order the touhou fanbook with this pokemon one(combined shipping or not), one random person will win this phantasm screen Unopened Eirin plush!


    (photos are of my own plush) Very cute right? Besides not being sold anywhere else outside japan, I believe that they are not even made anymore. So they are hard and rare to get!

  • You will also get my love ♥♥♥


-----------------------------------------------------------

I have sold plenty of items/doujinshi goods online before. So I have experience and your order is in good hands~

If you have any questions, please drop a comment!

My artbook came today! Just wanted to say thank you + that it's so glossy and gorgeous.
I'm going to keep staring at it. I was even bragging to all my friends lol
Anyway, thanks again! It must have taken you a while to put all the packages together, so I feel the need to say I appreciate your efforts. <3
Keep drawing wonderfully, as you always do~

So we don't need a paypal account to buy it...?
I'm willing to risk mailing money just to get my hands on your Pokemon book.
