International shipments from each batch will be done together based on the best timing for FedEx pickup. Domestic shipments will then be sent in the order your backer survey was completed, as the completed survey date comes through as the order date. Each batch will be the lowest unfulfilled backer numbers. So, this is what we have decided to do: We will export backer addresses into our shipping software in batches of 10,000 to 20,000.

Additionally, backer numbers are not imported into the shipping software, so we cannot print out labels in that order. For example, international shipments have to go out in large enough batches for FedEx to come by and pick them up. Regarding shipping order: The most common request for shipping order is to fulfill these by backer number. We appreciate your patience and understanding. We wish we could ship all books out to everyone all at once! But the more books we ship now, the less time it will take to complete fulfillment when remaining truckloads arrive. We recognize how difficult it is to wait for your book when other backers are already receiving and posting photos of their books. Although we hope to avoid it, additional delays on future trucks are possible. However, we have been unable to get estimates from the bindery on when the second truckload may arrive. Great news! The first truckload of Secret Project #2 arrived last Saturday! Our fulfillment team will begin assembly today and shipping this week.
