GENERAL SHIPPING NOTICES

SUMMARY: SHIPPING TIMES HAVE SLOWED VIA USPS AND TRACKING SCANS ARE OFTEN BEING SKIPPED

The vast majority of our Economy Shipping orders ship via USPS Media Mail. We also ship some Express Shipping packages through UPS Ground and USPS Priority Mail (such as to PO Boxes). We are seeing delivery times for both options lengthen, somewhat randomly. We are also seeing numerous packages not being regularly scanned by USPS, until they are eventually delivered. Please expect additional wait times for shipping.

SPECIFIC BOOK NOTICES

  • Buckshot & Beehive

    • Books are expected at our fulfillment center in May 2026

  • Marching Through Time

    • Books are expected at our fulfillment center in May 2026

  • Small Arms of the Cold War: Battle Rifles of NATO

    • Book is in the final phases of pre-production before sending to printer.

    • Books are at the printer. We expect them to arrive at our warehouse around November 2025. This is just an estimate, and we will update it with a better ETA as soon as we have it.

    • Books have shipped from the printer and are en route to our fulfillment center. Current ETA is December 2, 2025, at which point we will work to get all orders shipped as quickly as possible.

    • Current ETA at our fulfillment center is December 16, 2025.

    • Books started shipping on December 10, 2025.

  • Licensed Troubleshooter

    • Book has been sent to the printer.

    • We have been working with our printer to get a new ETA, and I think we have good info for you all now. The books should be completed and shipped by August 1, and here in the US by October 1. Unfortunately, we have had several delays on production of the book. 

      We were a bit later than normal in getting the final manuscript to the printer, as some of the stretch goals we hit in the Kickstarter required more time than we expected to complete writing and photography for. 

      In an effort to move away from Chinese printing, we chose a South Korean printer for Licensed Troubleshooter. It is a company we have worked with before (they did Tobacco of the Emperor), but they are slower than our Chinese printers and they are also not used to books as complex as Licensed Troubleshooter. It is moving along and the quality meets our requirements, but it has taken significantly longer than we expected (we hoped the experience from Tobacco would help them move faster on this book).

    • We have received advance copies of all book versions + the Collector’s Edition clamshell cases. See Ian McCollum’s review and flip through the books here: https://youtu.be/yUtYyVkoGH0?si=5Q8UvHxAPb1Sx_0y

    • Books are currently being packed and prepped for final shipment from our printer. (post made January 2, 2026)

    • We are happy to announce that the main bulk of Licensed Troubleshooter books have shipped from our printer and have an ETA at our US fulfillment center of March 19(April 23 ETA for our France fulfillment center for those customers who ordered a Euro Pledge Bundle through Kickstarter). Collectors Editions clamshells are being assembled now, and thus those editions will be following shortly behind. We will provide an ETA for those books as soon as it is available. (post made February 6, 2026)

    • Licensed Troubleshooter books began shipping on Friday, March 20. Here are some relevant items:

      • There are a large number of pre-orders to ship, many of which are quite complex. Therefore, we expect it to take weeks to get all orders shipped.

      • Kickstarter pre-orders will be shipped first

      • After all Kickstarter pre-orders have been shipped, we will ship website pre-orders

      • After website pre-orders have been shipped, we will ship current orders

      • Collectors Editions were shipped from the printer in a separate container and are expected to arrive mid/late April. Once those editions arrive, we will ship Collectors Edition orders on the same Kickstarter —> Website Pre-Order —> Website Current Order priority
