About those posters!

by rorie

the most chompable pup Hey, we recently put a bunch of Nighthawks posters on the store. We originally printed 1,000 of them thinking that they'd take a while to sell out, but you guys are crazy, and we actually sold out of them within a matter of maybe eight hours of them being on sale? They sold so fast that we actually had a bit of a snafu on the store and we sold around 1,120 of them, which...

Hey, we recently put a bunch of Nighthawks posters on the store. We originally printed 1,000 of them thinking that they'd take a while to sell out, but you guys are crazy, and we actually sold out of them within a matter of maybe eight hours of them being on sale? They sold so fast that we actually had a bit of a snafu on the store and we sold around 1,120 of them, which is obviously more than we printed. Unfortunately that means that we're going to have to cancel 120 orders.

congrats on the gold medal, mr pup

Ha, ha, no: we're not dicks. Well, we are, but not in this particular instance. Instead of canceling orders, we went ahead and ordered another 500 copies of the poster to account for the excess orders that we received. So, everyone who got an order in will get a poster. Plus, we'll be able to sell another 300 of the posters or so at some point in the future. (Gonna save the rest to bring to PAX and for site giveaways and the like.) Many of our UK/Europe friends were not happy that the posters were only for sale in California's afternoon time, so when I'm sure we're OK to sell the rest of these posters, I'll very likely throw them on the store at something like 2 AM Pacific time, which is...what, like 8 PM in the UK? Or noon? I don't know what the math is on that, sorry. I'm not Godel or anything. I will announce this sale a few days ahead of time, so keep an eye on the general forum, where I'll probably sticky the announcement.

We won't be restricting these sales to European addresses or anything, so if you're an American, you can still get an order in; you'll just have to stay up late to do so. To prevent any more inventory problems, we'll probably only offer these posters with signatures; attempting to track both non-signature and signed versions of the poster is what got us in the inventory mess in the first place, and the number of people who explicitly don't want signatures on their posters is pretty small.

Also, if you ordered a Bombduders shirt, I believe they're coming into stock now and trickling out of the warehouse, so enjoy that!

If you have any questions about an order (or shipping costs, etc.), please email [email protected]. If they don't get back to you within a couple of business days, re-send the email and cc me in at [email protected] so I can escalate it if need be.
