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

Once all the orders have been shipped out we'll run some contests here (in the FAKKU Books forum) to give away some merchandise.

Thanks for the reply Jacob! I thought it was included with the pre-order. Looks like I'm sleeping alone the following year. T-T (Homunculus Gal Dreaming). Thanks again for the fast reply and Happy Holidays!

I figured since i messed my address up twice in a row i'd just pick it up from the post office once it gets to town

I've been wondering about this since I got my book - can the poster that's part of the book itself be torn off?

Well, USPS had the expected arrival date as 12/26, though opened up my door this afternoon to find it already here; that was a pleasant surprise. Thanks Fakku crew!

Edit: I almost don't want to take the shrink wrap off; it looks great as it is.

Did you send international orders? I didn't receive any mail

I have yet to receive an email saying that my copy is on it's way. Although I did order quite late.

I ordered around November so I suspect my copy to be around the bottom of the shipping list.

My order was September 3rd and it hasn't been shipped yet, for reference.

I see, thanks for the reference.

I guess my copy will come around next year then which is fine.

My expected delivery was Friday and it came around 1PM on Tuesday. The tracking dates sometimes are exactly right. I live in North Carolina closer to the coast and mine shipped on the 17th. Hopefully that helps you get a better estimate since the USPS estimate isn't exactly right normally.
