Could they be marked as samples too? Since, well, this was never a retail endeavour

Look, if you had one shot
or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted
in one moment
Would you capture it...
or just let it slip?

If the value is declared as less than $20 they are duty exempt. If you declare an item as a gift then there needs to be a note or a card or something that indicates it is a gift which is generally more trouble than it's worth.
Worth pointing out different countries have wildly different limits. Canada is definitely the lowest I've seen -- US seems to be at least $200 so won't be an issue for anyone there.

I have no idea what sort of customs protocols apply in other countries. I won't be marking anything as a gift.... However, when writing down te value, we have to remember that these things certainly aren't pieces of fine art and have a resale value of pretty much nil. Packages will therefore be marked accordingly.

Also remember to label them as printed media/magazines/books/whatever (which is true and nothing but the truth, really). Generally speaking customs tend to be more relaxed for printed stuff than electronics or more comercial goods. At least around here books and magazines have no import taxes, while everything else is tackled with roughly 100% of total value (including shipping) on import duties, regardless if it's a gift or total value. I've paid taxes on stuff that was less than 10 dollars AND marked as gift :(

How do you know where to ship the zines btw? I didn't see an address field when I singed up.

I think he has to send out an address survey later when he's ready to ship them. I don't think the printing is done yet.

This is it. I'm expecting funds to be released in the next few days and then I can send out address surveys and start he printing process.

Will it be possible to buy extra copies? If so, when is the deadline? I have a couple of worthless friends who procrastinated too long and didn't buy into the kickstarter before it ended.

There's only one print run and it'll be happening next week sometime.

They'll need to PayPal me appropriate funds including shipping this week if they want a copy. (Email me at Garbutt at gmail dot com and I can send a PayPal request.) I may have some spares left over at the end of everything but that depends on whether any get lost in the mail.

i think you should add a no refunds clause if auspost fails to deliver half of them this decade

I used to live a 5 minute walk from one of their distribution centers and they still never got stuff delivered on time. Maybe they've got better recently tho

Well there's your problem. Nobody walks to or from a postal distribution center, your house was too close. Somebody looks at the postal code and all they see is the distribution center's neighbourhood, so your stuff endlessly loops around inside their system.

I put in my name & address, and I'm actually hoping it's at least a month late - I'll be away for half of April and all of May, though if it does show up in that time I'll figure out how to get it.

Just put an update on Kickstarter; here's the most important bits of it for anyone who can't be bothered going there or reading their emails..

We're running a little behind schedule (problems with the printers - isn't that always the way? Allegedly a printer broke down in the middle of a midnight printing session while the covers of our zines were being produced.) Aaaaanyway... that little delay set production back by about a week.

However, I've been informed that everything is good again and, assuming there are no more issues, the zines will be couriered out to me early this week, at which point I have the life-affirming joy of posting out a bajillion packages.

Sent you a PM requesting a ship-to address change - I'll be travelling for the next 6 weeks so I'd like you send mine to my parents.

Hopefully they won't open the package and suffer the crushing realization about what their son has become.
