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

Sea shipping close to the Christmas season is always asking for trouble.

If you ship SAL or Registered SAL around this time, it sometimes takes two months to arrive, it's crazy. Any figures or Dakimakuras I order around this time, I always use EMS or DHL, unless I can wait a few months ;)

Not much you can do but wait, at least you did not have anything catastrophic like the boat disappearing in the Bermuda triangle with all the books.

Edit: Or give us a discount on buying goods like the towels or Dakimakuras, please, take my money, get these things over here!

No it is definitely our fault and we deserve the blame for the delays. We were incredibly optimistic on the amount of time it takes to actually print these books and all our assumptions were wrong. The process of going back and forth with the printers, shipping all the books to our office, and now going through the port authority/customs so close to Christmas is taking a painfully long amount of time. All that said it is our fault for getting the time wrong.

Getting your publishing cherry popped is never as smooth a ride as the mainstream media makes it out to be.

Hey Jacob! Due to the delay in shipping I am unable to receive it while I am in the States, going back to Singapore on Fri (11/28), so is there anyway that it is shipped there to me instead?

Pls PM me regarding that :D

Edit: I read the previous page, will email store@fakku.net on my new address, but will I be charged for additional shipping? Really hope that does not happen...

Considering that this is your first publishing experience, i would say that you guys are doing great. This community also seems to be really supportive as well.

It's a shame there's been another delay, but stuff happens, so I understand. I hope things will go more smoothly for you guys in the future. That said, I'm still pumped up for receiving my physical copy whenever it ships.

If they canonized living hentai fans then you'd definitely be a saint by now.

Fixing the bug post issue will probably take some time and the info will be posted when it's posted so just chill man. It's only been 24 hours since the news was mentioned, so give it a few days lol.

Post more in the general forums if you want your post count to go up in the meantime.

Sorry if I seem impatient, but that's just because I am XD
I pre-ordered in August and till this day I refused to read the digital version because I want it to be a real blast to read it when the print version actually arrives lol

I'd just recommend to read the digital, but do what you want to I guess? Ordered in August as well, but I'm patient. Had an order arrive 8 years later or time and totally forgot why I had ordered said item lol. Doubt this will take that long, but have some patience. In the meantime tons of other hentai to enjoy till the day this gets shipped ;)
