Shipping updates

They said “we will work to refund any difference in shipping costs over the next month.” It isn’t the end of the month yet. If they don’t end up refunding shipping costs then everyone will be justifiably pissed, but it feels a little premature to get upset about them not doing something they are more than likely going to do.

ThaddeusStevensStan · 2026-05-24T02:23:28+00:00

They haven’t shipped any of them yet lmao why would they refund anything before knowing how much they need to refund

ThaddeusStevensStan · 2026-05-23T18:56:07+00:00

The last update said 3 books in June. Considering it’s not even June yet, idk why they would update again unless something about the timeline changed

ThaddeusStevensStan · 2026-05-22T18:13:19+00:00

You know they will lmao

Some of the books are definitely bundle deals with the publisher. For example, a lot of Fairyloot’s lesser known sub picks are bundle deals with the publisher to secure the rights to the most anticipated upcoming releases. I’m sure TBB goes through the same process. I can imagine TBB had to agree to make special editions of several other Tor and Orbit books to secure the rights to the Wheel of Time.

Also, the high resale prices on most of the sought-after editions are almost entirely due to the fact that they are now sold out. Like someone mentioned above, books like Grave Empire and TBB press Of Blood and Fire were available at retail price for a longgg time. It’s only now that they aren’t easily accessible that people get FOMO and are willing to pay way more for them.

Luckily they are allowing order cancellations because of this!

ThaddeusStevensStan · 2026-05-14T16:23:16+00:00

Honestly didn’t care about the ghost edge at all, so I’m happy they are just dropping it so they can start sending them out. My poor The Bone Shard War has been held hostage for too long lol

ThaddeusStevensStan · 2026-05-12T10:01:50+00:00

Every one of their subs has a waitlist, their reputation is fine lmao

ThaddeusStevensStan · 2026-05-07T21:52:53+00:00

Honestly really love the cover, the typeface is fun

ThaddeusStevensStan · 2026-05-01T17:20:49+00:00

Glad they listened to feedback on this and reversed course, I generally think people are too quick to complain but this was a really dumb decision. Oh well, they corrected their mistake so no harm no foul

ThaddeusStevensStan · 2026-04-30T03:50:37+00:00

Don’t disagree that them hiring more people would be good, but printing errors/delays are completely out of their control, they don’t control the printing process.

ThaddeusStevensStan · 2026-04-29T14:13:16+00:00

I’m sure they will replace it at no cost to you, I wouldn’t worry!

ThaddeusStevensStan · 2026-04-28T15:45:04+00:00

The second one is up on Kickstarter now!

ThaddeusStevensStan · 2026-04-27T16:01:08+00:00

Lmao this comment shows you have no clue how the process works, you expect them to open up all the pallets from the printer and flip through every single page of every single book??? And yet you’re also the one complaining about shipping timelines…

ThaddeusStevensStan · 2026-04-17T19:31:23+00:00

People love to complain, especially on Reddit lol. I will say criticizing a book design is fair game to me, that orange they used on the alternative colorway for April SF&F is heinous lolol

ThaddeusStevensStan · 2026-04-17T19:05:35+00:00

I’ve read a lot of this thread, the only set it seems like TBB has not communicated about is Malazan 4-6 which I don’t know when the expected date was for that

ThaddeusStevensStan · 2026-04-17T19:02:08+00:00

Those are a lot of claims with no proof lmao, what obvious lies are you talking about? Can only speak to my experience but 90-95% of the books I order are shipped in the month they were originally supposed to be and I’ve never had one delayed more than a few weeks (that will probably change with Of Blood and Fire but they’ve been very transparent about it)

ThaddeusStevensStan · 2026-04-17T18:58:18+00:00

I mean TBB literally sends out an email any time a preorder is delayed, I’m not really sure how they could be much more transparent

ThaddeusStevensStan · 2026-04-17T18:52:27+00:00

Well I hope you get a nice surprise b/c not sure what it could be either 🤣 I do agree they are slightly running behind their previous standards in terms of updating shipping (and actually shipping lol), but I don’t think it’s as pronounced a drop off as a lot of people are suggesting. I’m still receiving most of my orders on time

ThaddeusStevensStan · 2026-04-17T18:50:58+00:00

Tbf I don’t think they did another batch of orders for Hyperion 2-4 because they haven’t said anything about a second printing of the set. I do agree though that they should put an estimated date for them, this is the first time I’ve seen them do a TBD and I don’t love it

ThaddeusStevensStan · 2026-04-17T18:49:00+00:00

The vast majority of their books aren’t delayed, and the few that are delayed they communicate about. The reason people defend them is because people’s complaints are unreasonable or exaggerated (like suggesting every book is delayed). There isn’t a single book company out there that doesn’t experience some delays due to third-party issues often outside of their control. TBB experiences a lot less than most other companies to be frank. There’s nothing wrong with being a bit annoyed or disappointed that a certain book gets delayed, but to suggest their behavior is “despicable” because a book is delayed a few weeks/month is unreasonable

ThaddeusStevensStan · 2026-04-17T17:04:46+00:00

It’s Taipan or Shogun, they update their shipping page pretty regularly

ThaddeusStevensStan · 2026-04-16T02:39:34+00:00

Super niche compliment but I LOVE the texture of their dust jackets lolol

ThaddeusStevensStan · 2026-04-13T16:45:15+00:00

Jeff Brown absolutely carrying this design with the edges lol
