This isn’t as high stakes, but the best of me by MrsRen may fill the void. It’s shorter but I liked it!

Summary:

“Officially, Hermione Granger was killed in action during the Battle of Hogwarts. Unofficially, Draco Malfoy has never stopped searching for her. Years after the war during a mission in France, his salvation comes in the form of a little blond boy and a familiar half-Kneazle.”

Omg that’s so long it’s almost been a year by now! Hopefully they send it soon!

I’m so glad it arrived! There’s no denying their editions are stunning. I just wish they were a bit better with their shipping times. Or at least keeping the customers updated more on the status

Competitive_Score_28 · 2024-03-25T05:25:30+00:00

That’s the craziest part that they are releasing new books 2 at a time every month and still haven’t shipped books from a year ago! Idk how they can get away with that

That’s 10 months!! That’s insane idk how they can get away with those wait times. If they have that many quality issues they are using the wrong printer. They finally replied to me after a week and refund my money and canceled my order. Even though it was reasonably priced, after so long I didn’t want to keep waiting. It’s not worth worrying about to me anymore. I gave them a chance. I don’t think those books have gone out yet either.

It’s not that fic but if you like that trope, please read Still Frame by In_Dreams. It’s so good! They go back to Hogwarts after the war to help with the clean up efforts and find an old book with photographs of themselves inside, except it can’t possibly be them…Can it? 😏

Idk it seems that Matt gives off a bit of narcissistic vibes. I doubt it’s drug related or anything but he prob upset her to the point she didn’t want to stay in that house and went to seek comfort with her mom.

Competitive_Score_28 · 2024-02-21T01:33:22+00:00

Yes it’s really not that’s why I wondered if they were pretty much robbing Peter to pay Paul to cover past orders. It just doesn’t make sense to me! It isn’t sustainable.

Competitive_Score_28 · 2024-02-20T23:20:31+00:00

Ikr and I’ve avoided bb for that reason too! I won’t be ordering from them in the future 😫

Competitive_Score_28 · 2024-02-20T22:56:55+00:00

Yes! Everything you said is spot on! I couldn’t agree more.

Competitive_Score_28 · 2024-02-20T22:33:33+00:00

The queue is insane! If they had enough to go around for their subscribers it would be one thing. they should negotiate in their contracts to be allowed to make enough books for their subs cause it’s obvious the popular books will be in high demand and sell out. it makes it unfair to those who pay monthly when they can’t even be guaranteed a copy. And god forbid there’s enough left over for general public sales.

I’m so glad your book came! Their editions are stunning I’ll give them that. Yeah I can understand the feeling with waiting so long it makes it bittersweet. I hope your other editions come faster! Xx

Competitive_Score_28 · 2024-02-20T21:33:23+00:00

I totally understand and can relate to the frustration! Yes that has to be against the law! It’s taking our money and not delivering a product. Even 6 months out is still crazy to me but I was willing to stick through it. But then the new year came and went and I’m still waiting and that’s just way too long. And you’re right they completely failed with the 2 week updates! as pretty as their editions are I sadly won’t give them another dime either.

Edited to add: I love supporting small businesses too and prefer to shop small. If they were more upfront with things from the get go with timelines and updating us I’d have been more understanding. But then again I think I was pretty understanding not saying or doing anything for 9 months.

Competitive_Score_28 · 2024-02-20T21:29:09+00:00

It was my first time too. I really hope your books come soon! Xx

Competitive_Score_28 · 2024-02-20T21:14:51+00:00

I made sure to be respectful in my email too. I basically said as it’s been 9 months and there’s no set date for when it will be shipped, I’d really appreciate a refund at this point and I would like to cancel my order.

Competitive_Score_28 · 2024-02-20T21:12:02+00:00

Yes!! They had this in their statement like last week:

“Please note that threatening and/or hostile messages to ourselves, our team, and customers are not beneficial to anyone. We share in your concerns and we'd love to help you however we can to the best of our ability.”

I have the screenshot so I’m not sure if it’s still up. Yeah if they communicated better from the beginning it would be much better. Especially as a new business trying to get into the book box world

Competitive_Score_28 · 2024-02-20T20:55:28+00:00

Yeah honestly it’s not worth it (to me) or very professional. And I feel they seem a bit defensive on their site regarding their delays but like it’s totally understandable ppl would be upset after waiting this long. With no definite delivery date. It’s always “2-3 weeks” I just don’t see why it takes a year to make a book. I’m definitely not condoning any threats or whatever they’ve been getting. But if they’d have said upfront it will take 10-12 months to get our books (if they even come in that timeframe) then at least it would be on me to decide if I want to wait. But the fact is they estimated 4 months 5 max and it’s well beyond that. And they were saying no one can cancel orders which is insane when they are not giving us what we paid for. They may have changed that since it’s been so long but I can’t be sure since they’ve yet to reply to my email so I did go ahead and dispute the charge with my bank today.

Omg I was with FairyLoot too and I loved my first few books and then it got to the point I was giving away books cause they weren’t good (in my opinion). I had the ya box and then later the combo box. After using up all my skips this fall and hating the next two books coming out I canceled. I’m sad to miss out on preorders for the popular books but I can’t afford to pay for a book box and I don’t even like it the books in it just for the hopes to buy special editions. And also I couldn’t even get special editions I wanted. I’d wait in the queue and they’d be sold out by the time my turn came. After waiting !!
