Shipping Updates
over 9 years ago – Fri, Dec 19, 2014 at 03:00:58 PM

Hi everyone,

So here's the update. UPS delivered 12 boxes (406LBS!) of The Filmography of Guns books to me yesterday at 3:31pm. Between a 2+ week delay at bookmakers & a 4 day delay in transit I was really pushed for time so I've been hustling my butt to get these turned around and out to you guys asap.

UPS came back at 6:45pm (3hrs 15mins later) for a pick-up and I managed to turn around 6 boxes of books around by myself (with names, autograph etc). The rest of the The Filmography of Guns went out today.

The 100 books I received last week were sent out to international people first (and a few U.S. peeps).

My living room now looks like a post office exploded in it.

If you receive separate shipments don't worry, the books were sent separately due to me having to sign books, put in bookplate & names and the prints etc were at warehouse in Minnesota so this made the most sense.

The Filmography of Cars and  The Filmography of Aircraft books are only arriving at warehouse today and we're turning those around as fast as possible too. All US people will receive by Christmas, Canada peeps we're hoping also.

Internationals further afield are probably not going to be so lucky and I'm truly sorry for the delay in getting you these in time for Christmas. If there's something else I can do to make up for this please let me know.

T'is the time to give thanks!

Hey everyone,

Since we're celebrating Thanksgiving here in the U.S. tomorrow I wanted to send a quick note to thank you for all your support. Kickstarter is a great yet scary adventure... one that my husband Keith is currently going through with his project.

A little about him; Keith and The Girl is a podcast that's been going on for 10 years with over 2,000 episodes (and over 140 tattooed fans). They started a campaign where the money will go toward a 30+ hour comedy marathon (without breaks!) as well as a U.S. tour. I'll be going with so maybe I can travel to some of your towns :)

If nothing else, check out the custom-made Kickstarter video featuring Zach Sherwin and pro-hacky sacker Chris Pinkus. For anyone who does choose to support, send me a message as I'll have a fun surprise for you.

 Update on shipping:

Rewards with The Filmography of Guns books & tee's will be shipping next week. I will be spending a day on your custom Kickstarter bookplate, signing, enscribing and all that fun stuff.

For everyone who ordered just the print or lone gun, your orders have been sent out. Check out Backerkit for the tracking numbers. 

Thanks again for everything you've done to support. I won't forget it.

Happy Turkey Day!

The Next steps!

Hey guys!

It’s been a little while since I updated. I’ve been a busy little lady trying to get everything together for fulfillment. I also caught the flu which foiled my plans for a week, however its been defeated and I’m back on my feet now.

Good news...All 1500 prints are now signed and numbered. Woohoo! *handcramp*

In order to start producing our stuff, a few things need to happen.

First, Kickstarter needs to transfer the funds so we have the money to make the orders .

Second, we have to find out what rewards and add-ons you want and where we need to ship them. We will be sending our BackerKit survey out to collect this information on Wednesday, 22nd Oct (2 days from now) so please look out for that. The sooner we have the survey’s back the sooner we can get your rewards.

It is hugely important that when you receive the survey, you get it back to us as quickly as you can. Our ability to make an order depends on receiving this information, especially in order to get this out to you by the holidays. All surveys should be completed by Oct 30th (but the earlier the better).

You do not need to make a login and password to fill out your survey, just fill it out and you’re all good to go!

If you use your Facebook login for your Kickstarter account, the BackerKit invite will be sent to the email you used for your Facebook account. If you have another email you prefer it to be sent to, please click on this support link.

Again, thanks for all your amazing support - without you this project wouldn't have been possible. I can’t wait to send you your rewards.

- Cathryn

P.S. I'll send some images of the Filmography books in the next update, I'm really excited about them.

Shipment Lockdown!

Hey guys!

I just wanted to thank everyone who was quick to complete their surveys, so helpful! For the 50 or so people we're still waiting on, please do it by Tuesday 4th Nov if you want to ensure holiday delivery.

We'll be locking down shipping addresses for those who completed their surveys at 12 EST TONIGHT (Sunday), so if you're planning to move or get your print shipped elsewhere please update this on Backerkit now... seriously like right now... please :).

We'll be starting shipping the orders containing only The Filmography of Guns prints this week. The Collector's Books are still being produced, we should have them back within the next 2 weeks and then any orders with them will begin being shipped out.

You'll be getting tracking numbers sent via Backerkit. All orders will be sent in custom Filmography of Guns packaging, with a signed lone gun print, sticker and your rewards.

Happy November!
