Menage a 3 - Vol 3 : Discussion

[Guido]

Quick question Giz,

If you ordered all 3 volumes at once, do you ship them all at once when Vol. 3 is released or Vol. 1 & Vol. 2 first and Vol. 3 once it's released?

[Lokitsu]

Just ordered vol 2 and collector's 3 and Eerie Cuties!

Dear God have you folks got me hooked.

@Lokitsu: And we're supposed to feel guilty? ;)

All at once, but if you need the other two sooner, for whatever reason, email me, and I'll see what I can do.

[Guido]

No need for that Giz, just wondering

I'll see them arrive when they do ^^

I think I'll be ordering this volume. I've become a bigger fan of the comic over the past year, so I think I'll be taking the plunge and making a purchase.

Um...Giz...I have a bit of a problem.

I pre-ordered a copy of Vol 3 using my Debit card on a Friday. My problem is my cousin who began charging thing to my card. I caught him in time and got my money back, but I had to cancel that card and get a new one the following Monday. I want to know, will I have to order again, or did the previous order make it through in enough time?

[Giz]

Order seems fine on this end.

[Azrael]

Hmmm, could have sworn I posted this yesterday, but anyway, Got my order in. Finally.

[Stu d'Apples]

it must be nearing the time for these to be posted

I've heard that postal services have been completely suspended in Canada. If it continues people should expect their copies to be delayed.

There is actually a lockout at Canada Post. It's from coast to coast and no new mail will be accepted at all. More information is available here: http://clients.infopost.ca/en/.

I don't kow how Giz and Dave will handle it, I don't even know if they used Canada Post for US and international orders before. But I'm sure that once they are made aware of the lockout and evaluate their options, they'll come up with a good solution.

Since I'm in Canada myself, I'd rather have them hold on my copy of Vol.3 until a few weeks after the lockout is over. I'm afraid of my copy being slighty damaged during transport if they use another transporter or mail it during the rush right after the lockout. Eck, I'm willing to wait for December, that would make it a nice christmas gift! But I doutb the lockout will last that long. I would just wait until it's over and things are back to normal.

Although some of you may get a notice that your book was shipped, no books are in the Canadian postal system right now. The way we function, is that we prepare the labels ahead of time with Paypal, pay for them, and put an estimated date that we'll bring them to the post office. We were about to bring our first batch of packages to Canada Post on Wednesday morning, and that's when they did the lockout. So we still have the books in hand ready to go. The worst part for us is that we've paid for this postage. With the government now involved, we're hoping things get resolved early next week. We'll make a post on the homepage once we know a bit more.

Any word on labor relations?

Any word on labor relations?

Still quite unresolved.

Gary is still laboring to have relations, and is now trying to negotiate two mutually exclusive contracts.

Zii doesn't find relations a labor, but she's still dubious about giving up freelancing and signing up for an exclusive long-term position with generous benefits.

And DiDi's contractors are willing to enter relations, but never do enough labor to satisfy the unwritten terms of the agreement.
