November Prints have shipped! (Patreon)

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE! The November prints (due to ship in December) have now shipped! Which means we're now only a month behind on art print shipments.

If you're in the UK and backed the Art Print tier during November, you should start to receive them from tomorrow. However if you're international, they will take even longer than usual due to a (I fucking shit you not) a Russian state sponsored hack on Royal Mail - so international mail isn't even currently being dispatched by them, and when it is they'll be working a backlog, so it'll likely be at least a couple of weeks before international folks start getting them.

Just as an aside, some people have asked why we don't use a different provider to ship the art prints out. The primary reason above all else is cost. The art prints are standard sized letters, not parcels, and to ship them with any other courier (DHL, UPS, FedEx, etc) would be prohibitively expensive. For example, shipping them in the UK costs us 66p with Royal Mail, but to ship an identical item with the cheapest option UPS has would be about £6.70. That gets exponentially worse with overseas shipments. We'd have to about double the price of the print tiers to be able to afford to ship with other providers. Our whole goal with the prints was to make them as affordable as possible, which is why we've not put their pricing up even with the insane inflation here. 

Anyway, there's the update! The December prints won't be shipped for at least a few more weeks (I'm expecting to get them out at the start of February). We're slowly getting back on schedule with them, and we really appreciate your patience!
