OOTS Book 5 - Blood Runs in the Family (plus 2015 OOTS Heroes Calendar)

[deathbyhokie]

I appreciate the spoiler guards, everyone, since here in the Washington, DC area, the calendar and book, via bulk shipping, yet again did NOT show up with today's mail.

It sounds as if next week I should start bugging Ookoodook if it hasn't yet shown up.

I'm a bit south of you, just below the NoVa hellscape, and I'm still waiting on my bulk shipping book. So, you aren't alone. I'll probably be calling Ookoodook Tuesday or Wednesday if it doesn't show up

[LightPhoenix]

Seattle checking in here, still have not received book as of today. I will probably be contacting Ook next week to get a shipping number if it hasn't come by Monday or Tuesday night.

[Crusher]

Haven't gotten a chance to read the whole thing yet (Wrathette #1 hasn't finished it yet either and we keep stealing it back and forth from each other. Which hardly seems fair, seeing as how she got the calendar), but I will say:

Spoiler: /spoiler

Oh, that foreword by Durkon... :( I think that's one party member who won't be getting a happy ending.

[Turbidus]

What shipping did you chose? Standard or preorder bulk shipping?

"Shipping: Intl Priority Envelope or Small Box", whichever that was.

[AdmiralCheez]

Southern New Jersey checking in; book and calendar have arrived.

[Armitage]

Thanks for the answer.
Mine is 'Intl Preorder Fulfillment' so it seems you selected a non-bulk shipping option. Guess that means I have to wait some more :/

[Vemynal]

Austin Texas; just got mine yesterday =)

I did notice that the new lettering font doesn't render accented e's properly. Page 730, panel 1.

True, though I think that one just got overlooked in the font update/correction process. For example, page 761, panel 10, is fine.

[TheWombatOfDoom]

I got mine on a Sunday! I did the pre-order shipment and I live in Philadelphia, so east coasters be on the lookout!

[Jasdoif]

Calendar arrived here in Oregon, via UPS, on....Thursday, apparently; I received it (along with a "Merry Christmas" declaration) just now.

[Sky_Schemer]

Also in Portland, my calendar+book arrived on Saturday the 10th via USPS. I also did the pre-order shipping.

[jolus]

The book has finally arrived at my place in Germany. Although I ordered after Christmas. There has also been some customs declaration confusion, but everything is fine now for me.

[Darmarc]

I ordered a book and calender but I ordered them seperatly, the book arrived last week but I have still not received my calendar. I am in Scotland so it is international shipping, should I be worried?

[Meph]

Germany, Hamburg. I ordered the 2015 calendar and a book (although not the latest) before Christmas, and nothing has come yet. Should I write a mail to ookoodook?

[Armitage]

Meph, give it more time. If the people in the US haven't all received their shipments yet, it's to be expected that it will take a few more days for our shipments to arrive in Germany.

[The Giant]

Yeah, I don't think anyone overseas should worry yet, considering the arcane mysteries of international postal service. Even with two boxes to the same address, one might get stopped by your nation's customs while the other sails through.

For US orders, I would expect that if you don't get them by next Monday, you should definitely contact Ookoodook and see about tracking it.

I did notice that the new lettering font doesn't render accented e's properly. Page 730, panel 1, and at least one other place. Not a huge deal, but maybe fixable before the next printing.

The new lettering font doesn't have accent marks, something I didn't notice until a few weeks after I had premiered it in the comic. I switched to using another similar font for just those letters, but since it's a manual process of spotting them and fixing them, some might have slipped through.

[Rogar Demonblud]

Next Tuesday. Monday's a holiday.

[CoffeeIncluded]

Yeah, I finally got enough money to order the book! Though I'll need to wait a couple more weeks for the calendar; hopefully they'll still be for sale.

[The Giant]

Next Tuesday. Monday's a holiday.

True. When you work at home, you completely lose track of holidays. I'm not too good on what day of the week it is most of the time, either.

[SarahV]

True. When you work at home, you completely lose track of holidays.

In 2014, I discovered that having a calendar on the wall of my office with no holidays on it has the same effect...

If that is a suggestion to put holidays on it, please don't.

As an international costumer I already have enough drawbacks (mostly longer and more expensive shipping), I don't need a bunch of marked days that have mostly no relevance for me on top.

[Armitage]

True that.

[Stabbey]

I'm in Canada, and I haven't even got an e-mail that says "Your order has shipped", and it's been a week since the international orders arrived at the fulfillment company. But since not even everyone in the US has them yet, I guess it's too soon to worry. Maybe?

[Ajema]

Did anyone else get a book with a raised ripples in the clear film on the spine? It is a pretty minor blemish and not worth trying to remedy but if it happened to a lot of the books then I figure it is something that the program manager (aka the Giant) should know about for future book runs.

[Plactus]

Got my package today!

It was empty. Not even a receipt. Not damaged either.

Guess I have a slightly longer wait...

I got my replacement package today, with everything. A big thumbs up and thank you to Ookoodook's customer service.

[SarahV]

I don't think they are doing shipping notices for the pre-order (relatively) cheap shipping option. I didn't get an e-mail and my book arrived a few days ago. It's probably en route

I got mine a week ago and haven't yet received an email. If that makes you feel any better. Doubt they're doing them.

I did not.

I do not think those who selected the pre-order option got an e-mail. I certainly didn't.

You're right; in the 2016 calendar, I'll be sure to mark Towel Day, Take Your Dog to Work Day, and Ball Point Pen Day.

Speaking of ball point pens, that's a great way to mark the holidays that are important to you, whatever they may be.

I cannot imagine a holiday more important than Ball Point Pen Day.
