SHIPPING UPDATE: Supply Chain Fail!
over 4 years ago
– Mon, Oct 18, 2021 at 10:14:34 PM
Fail Friends!
It's your friendly neighborhood Fail Squad, back again with an important fulfillment update!
Unfortunately we have a bit of bad news, which if you've been following current events, shouldn't come as too much of a surprise. Everything was going SO well with the fulfillment process -- the pins, the prints, even those pesky trophies were all delivered on time! In fact, only one item has been delayed...the books.
That's right, we're experiencing a bit of a SUPPLY CHAIN FAIL, and our 4000 copies of Mr. Lovenstein Presents: Failure have been sitting at a port in China for quite some time... but we have good news! Our fulfillment partner Quartermaster Logistics tells us that the books are now officially on a boat, careening across the pacific ocean at 24 knots! (Is that right? We don't really know anything about boats...)
Anyway! Here's the current update on our fulfillment timelines based on location. In most cases our delay is just going to mean the difference of a few weeks, but we still feel bad about being so on brand!
United States, Canada
Fulfillment Timeline/Status: Early December
United Kingdom & European Union
Fulfillment Timeline/Status: Late December
Asia, Australia & New Zealand
Fulfillment Timeline/Status: December
Rest of World
Fulfillment Timeline/Status: Late December
Important: Last Call for Address Changes
If the delay means you need to change the address on your delivery, please contact us directly at [email protected] - if you do not provide your current address, you run the risk of being charged extra to reroute your package and we really don't want that to happen!
That's it for now, but we did want to leave you with some fun photos we've collected over the past month--hopefully these will tide you over until we can get these books into your hands!
Framed 2000-piece impossible puzzle that Justin failed to complete during the campaign--tea stain included! (Special thanks to prize winner Moogila!)

Fail Friends!
It’s your friendly neighborhood Fail Squad back again with another fulfillment update! Hope everyone in the Earth’s upper hemisphere is staying cool, and everyone in the lower hemisphere is staying warm! Aren’t seasons weird? Anyway…
We Printed The Books!
That’s right! We sent the book off to the printer a few weeks ago and received these sweet printer proofs last week! It’s all looking VERY good! Can’t wait to get this sweaty book into our sweaty hands. And for those who are eligible for the digital pdf, we will be sending that on FRIDAY JULY 30th! So, keep an eye out for it!
Last Chance for Add-Ons! BackerKit Store Closes August 23rd.
If you haven’t yet pulled the trigger on the Impossible Puzzle, playing cards, pin set or mug, you only have a few weeks left to get in your order! ACT NOW before it’s too late! We have a limited quantity left of all these items and once they’re gone, they’re gone for good! Don’t miss out!
But what happens when the BackerKit Store Closes?
Good question! A few important things will be happening after August 23rd.
-We will stop taking add-on orders.
-We will charge your credit card.
-We will begin the process of getting you your stuff!
Current fulfillment status: ON SCHEDULE!
We are aiming to get all these goodies into your hands this November and we are currently tracking toward that goal! Of course, if anything happens which impacts this delivery date we will keep you in the loop, but so far so good! **Knocks on wood**

almost 5 years ago
– Thu, Jun 17, 2021 at 02:15:54 PM
Fail Friends!
It's been a minute! We've missed you! Just a friendly heads up that we are in the process of putting the finishing touches on our BackerKit surveys and pre-order store where you'll be able to officially purchase all of the amazing add-ons that we were able to promise during the campaign! It's finally happening! Expect the survey THIS WEEK! And if you don't receive it by Monday of next week, not to worry, just email us at [email protected]and we'll help you out. It's what we do!
As a reminder: if you don't fill out this survey, we can't send you your order!
FIRST LOOK: Mr Lovenstein Playing Cards!
In the days since the campaign ended, Justin's been hard at work on the Mr. Lovenstein playing cards. Have a look at the progress so far! We'll be sharing more art as it comes together, but suffice to say, you do NOT want to miss out on the opportunity to grab a deck o' these sweaty cards!
Add-On Shipping Costs
More good news! We've been able to work out fairly reasonable shipping costs for the add-ons. Prices below were calculated based on the weight and dimensions of each additional item.
Note: The pricing below is for US backers only. International Backers are subject to additional costs based on the territory,but all taxes/fees are included in the cost.
In our exhaustion after the campaign ended, we never posted the final level of the Death Nut Challenge! Enjoy! You've earned it! (Spoiler Alert: He lives...but just barely.)
(For eligible backers only.)
And don't forget, if you joined the mailing list before the campaign began OR backed a previous Mr. Lovenstein campaign, you're eligible for the 1'' GABE PIN for FREE if you ordered any physical book level! The free pins should already be added to every eligible order when the surveys go out, but if you think you're eligible and DON'T see the free pin in your order, just email us at [email protected] and we'll get you sorted out. We're here for you!
WE NEED YOUR NAME!
If you backed the $100 level or higher, that means you're eligible to get your name printed in every copy of Mr. Lovenstein Presents: Failure! So be sure to answer the corresponding question in the BackerKit survey and send us your preferred name for print -- but you only have until JUNE 28th!So fill out your surveys ASAP!
That's it for now! Keep an eye out for those surveys!
