Shipping Now! - Renai Sample

Jacob · 2014-11-08T06:17:12-01:00

Time to give everyone an update on Renai Sample! Previously I wanted to have the books shipped by the first week of November, but unfortunately that wasn't possible. Right now we are expecting to receive Renai Sample from our printers on November 24th, currently they are in a bunch of shipping containers on a nice boat somewhere in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Once we receive them we will be shipping them out immediately starting with the oldest orders first; it will probably take about a week to get them all sent out. I take responsibility for being overly optimistic on our initial shipping date, I really wish we could ship the books out earlier. To make it up to everyone, I am going to gift every user that has pre-ordered Renai Sample up until now a free subscription to FAKKU Gold. FAKKU Gold has not been officially released or even announced. It is still in an early Alpha, but it is the foundation for a service that will eventually be implemented on FAKKU. I am actively working on this so you can provide me with feedback and suggestions and even hatemail, right now you'll be able to: turn off all advertisements, receive 10% discount on all store purchases (including FAKKU Books), set your own custom rank, use the read history feature, use the read later feature, keep track of multiple avatar uploads, configure a bunch of random options, and post in the FAKKU Gold forum. I stress this is still in Alpha, so don't hate me too much if something doesn't work 100% correctly. I'll be giving everyone FAKKU Gold later today/tomorrow and will be sending out an email with more details. Going forward I am going to make sure there is a 2 - 3 month window between when we send a book to be printed and when we expect to start shipping the book so that this doesn't happen again. Unfortunately this was something that we could only learn by actually printing the book. Additionally, we are going to hold off on releasing any new titles until Renai Sample ships. I do not think it is fair to start promoting our next few books when you still haven't received the first one. To give you a teaser of what's to come, our current plan is to launch four different books in December, including two unannounced titles. P.S. December is our 8 year anniversary. All that said, there is some good news! We received the advanced copies of Renai Sample (32 books), and I want to share with you some pictures. These are primarily for press release and promotional stuff, but these are exactly the same as the books you will be getting. I don't think I mentioned this previously but all books will be shrink wrapped, this way you'll know if someone opened your mail and looked at your hentai. By the way, if you moved in the last few months make sure you have updated your shipping address appropriately. Opening the box... Aha! Renai Sample Here's what it looks like, a little blurry Here's a picture of our Renai Sample next to the Japanese version of TiTiKei And the binding Here are some pictures from inside the book And here's Renai Sample next to a normal sized English manga release

crybabies all of you.

you say that just because you already have yours shipped out, and, as Jacob said, only got it before us because of "special circumstances." If it wasnt for that you might be complaining too

nope, didn't get my copy shipped. I'm no special case.

That assumption. Stop whining, lol. You think after 2+ months it would just not ship?

Crying more makes this subforum look bad after so long, christ.

Well, my order was 16th August, I'm sure they'll get to yours soon as well.

The only reason I am antsy is because anything shipped USPS priority before 12/20 will make it before Christmas, and it would be a nice present to enjoy ;)

Tracking number is now working fully and the expected delivery is December 26th! Might be a little late for a Christmas present to myself, but it's only 1 day after. Thanks to everyone at Fakku and especially to Crazy Ben for helping me with the address change. Can't wait to read it and purchase more of the books!

Ordered mine early September. I guess I'm going to see mine after new years. :(

A little heads up for those of you that changed your address, if the tracking number shows no destination but you want to be sure, you can verify it with USPS via phone or email. If it has shipped and you forgot to change the address, USPS offers a service called Package Intercept that will let you change the delivery address so long as you can verify the original destination address.

Hopefully this eases some worries and makes you day a little less stressful if it has been.

THIS. THIS MOTHA FUCKA RIGHT HERE. RIGHT. FUCKIN. HERE.

Also worth noting: if you have emailed me a correction of address, I will do it. However, your confirmation email sent to you when I finish your order WILL NOT have the updated address in it (coding limitation or something). That being said, check the tracking number the day after you get the email, just to make sure it's going the right way.

Hurry up and wait, something I've lived by since enlisting. It's funny how a simple status update, shipping or not, is usually all it takes to ease the tension of a long wait. Looking forward to the delivery and glad that it's almost over (until the next book).

I get mine on the 22nd, so that's pretty FREAKING SWEET!!! A Christmas gift for myself! Though I contacted USPS about the address thing and I'm hoping for a reply sometime tomorrow.

I was a little antsy at the start but after the first update I expected a long wait so the tensions weren't to bad for me atleast.

Calm Down.
We've been waiting for 2 months, I think it's doesn't matter to wait a little bit longer.
