Received my book

I received my book in the mail today. I am extremely pleased with the results. All the colors are true to my files except the color is a little more red then I wanted (cover only), anyhow I will be bringing it on Wednesday for people to check out. Hope everything is going well...

Sean's Cover Design

Here's my cover for anyone else who hasn't stated what color they're using or uploaded their cover yet. I decided to go with a shade that seemed consistent with the colors posted so far, bearing in mind they all have to look at home together in a slip case.

hey

Hey guys,

Sorry I've been busy with work (it is the holidays). About the cover, after I came home from work Friday, I was about to send my book when I noticed Jordy used teal for his book so I quickly changed mine to purple. I sent mine late Friday after midnight. I used the priority USPS shipping and I'm not sure when it will come in. Right now it says the status is fulfilling and hopefully it will ship soon. I'll keep an eye on the status and if it hasn't shipped by Tuesday I'll call them and see about upgrading shipping.

Whoops!

Saying some of the information on LuLu's website, specifically their FAQ area is confusing is an understatement. It seems their agents were as well, or didn't comprehend where I was off base. When we discussed the shipping methods originally in person as a group, it was pretty much understood that expediting a book order meant that for $25 or $50 your order could get rushed and then on top of that you would be responsible for whatever shipping method you chose to go with i.e. overnight etc.

After a chat with an agent and some misleading dialogue however, I left under the assumption that "Fed Ex standard overnight" delivery was part of the super fast or super mega fast expedited options. Good news remember? Well too good to be true as Jordy has already found out, and as been "clarified" to me by a new agent this afternoon. The interesting thing is, I have a chat transcript of the original conversation (mid way down) between myself and the first agent and, the FAQ has an update to it's webpage several hours later. Now the FAQ is quite clear on what a customer gets with the super fast and super mega fast options. Coincidence? Maybe, either way it is what it is and I take whatever blame for this that is due.

So in the end, we're all back to the understanding we were on Monday of last week when we first agreed on LuLu as the source for our materials. Apologies for broadcasting on our blog to the group that getting it shipped fast was such a great deal.

Some of the group members are mentioning the U.S. Postal service's priority mail as a shipping option. According to a chat representative, if you chose super fast or super mega fast in your production option then Fed Ex standard overnight is the only way your book is shipping. The cost of that shipping again is not part of the expedited production.

Shipping and Book Cover Color

It's no problem brad. I placed my order yesterday. The book was only $11, but the shipping was $70. Was this the case for everybody else? I had no idea it would be this expensive.

I've also tried to get ahold of Jen by email. I sent out several notifications throughout the week to see if anyone had claimed the color teal. I placed my order yesterday afternoon and she did not notify me till midnight that we had the same book cover color. So if anybody can get ahold of her to figure this out it would be great.

Does anybody know if its possible to cancel my order, upload a new cover and get the order on time? Does anybody know if Jen has placed her order already. Does anybody know what colors are still available if I am able to change mine, after placing the order?

Thanks.
