Hey guys,
Thanks for being utterly patient with me in regards to the cover. I've looked at every option and I'm here to provide the cost breakdown:
- Cover printing: 25c per cover.
I've decided to cut the cost from 50c to 25c per cover. This will ensure folks that want multiple copies can do so with peace of mind. The minimum is 500 prints, but I don't actually mind if the price goes up if we don't meet 500 print mark. The printing company is:
http://microforum.ca- Shipping packaging: 50c per packaging.
Good packaging will ensure covers don't rip or bend during shipment, and the cheapest I could find is 50c a cover. I can't shave a penny here (It's actually a little higher than 50c a packaging but I can't charge you all more for it as it's quite lame to pay more for packaging than the intended content).
- Shipping cost (minimum): $2 for Canada. $3.50 for US, $6 for International per shipping.
This is the only area I'm having trouble chopping the cost. I'll gladly pay the additional cost for international from my pocket if folks cannot pay $6, so I'll keep the international rate at $3.50 as well. If Canadians want to be generous and pay $3.50, It'll compensate for international shipping very nicely. Remember: This doesn't include tracking and that'll cost A LOT OF MONEY, so I'll provide you personal updates whenever I ship them out. If you want tracking real bad then let me know and I'll accommodate accordingly.
- Total (estimate):
$4.25 per shipment + additional 25c for any additional cover added to the shipment.
- TAX: The tax in Canada is 13% so I'll charge you all 13% because I'm paying that tax for shipping and printing and packaging and... OK JUST KIDDING. FUCK TAX. I'll gladly pay tax from my pocket lol.
- TIP: I don't actually need tip, but I would love it if everyone helps everyone out so that folks that cannot pay the entire cost can receive it with ease and peace of mind. I'll make sure every penny gets invested nicely, whether it be providing more covers or printing shipping labels or drinking loads of coffee while I package it, I'll provide cost breakdown for it all as necessary.
Thank you all, and thank you Kindekuma for the awesome cover art, and thank you Konami for the shitty practice that inspired us all to begin with! <3
P.S. I may throw in something special/rare for the top 3 most generous user.
P.P.S. I'll provide payment information or how to do it real soon. Seems like Paypal is what I'll be using. I'm going to place order for printing tomorrow so I can fire up the process.
