If You Want It By Christmas…
Posted November 21st, 2008 by Howard TaylerThis is a friendly reminder to Schlockers outside of the United States: the free shipping deal is running through the end of the year, but if you want to have your stuff in hand before Christmas, you need to act now.
The latest we can ship stuff and be sure that it’ll get to you before Christmas is Monday the 24th of November. Tuesday might be okay. Wednesday less so. After that the Thanksgiving holiday hits, and shipping from the US slows to a deluged crawl.
I’m happy to see lots of first-time buyers from overseas picking up Schlock books. Shipping overseas costs about $40, which is pretty steep. By offering free shipping for purchases of $100 or more we’re taking a pretty steep hit on profits, and you’re getting a great deal. I wish we could afford to run this deal all the time, but it ends on the 31st of December. Head on over to the store and take advantage of us before we come to our senses.

I received two thank-you cards yesterday! Wow! You folks are the best!
Happy Holidays!

While we’re on the subject, thanks for the postcard! But how’d you get all those amorphs to pose so nicely for the camera?

My theory is that when the Schlock merchandise comes in the door, it’s Christmas time once more. No matter when that happens.

Yes, and if things go as planned, it is going to come once a quarter next year. Joy!

One word: Ovalquik. Of course, they aren’t going to be doing much sitting still afterwards.

Thanks for the greeting card! Needless to say, it’s NOT being put away after the holidays!
Loves the strip for 11/22… You are the only person I know who can work nuclear physics, a grouchy Siamese, and R Buckminster Fuller into the same reference.

it’s taken me too long to log onto here and comment, but the hot plate and pants line still makes me laugh.
Oh, where do you come up with this stuff. It’s great. Keep it up.

just wanted to stretch today’s metaphor a little farther…
fuller’s earth, aka bentonite, is commonly used as a binder in dynamite.

That free shipping is generous indeed. You need a “Schlock Europe” distributor or something.
November 23rd, 2008 at 9:12 pm
Long before I’ll be able to afford to outsource European shipping to somebody I’ll be hiring somebody to help Sandra with shipping. Ah, that will be a glorious, glorious day.

OFFTOPIC: Howard, Spirit or Watchmen, go.
November 23rd, 2008 at 10:46 pm
Also OT: you have a call-out in Monday’s Girl Genius!
November 23rd, 2008 at 11:15 pm
OFFTOPIC: Howard - you were spotted! See today’s (11/24/08) page of Girl Genius! (http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/ )
November 24th, 2008 at 1:19 am
somebody beat me to it…. a spot in Girl Genius. Oh well, I had to get it out there anyways.
November 24th, 2008 at 2:16 am
Dang! third in line. I have got to start getting up earlier.
What am I saying! This is to insanely early for anyone normal.
November 24th, 2008 at 3:28 am
I figured someone would point that out sooner or later. I like their interpretation of what something called “Schlock Mercenary” would be in that world.

OFFTOPIC:
Reference to Schlock Mercenary appears on today’s page of Girl Genius. (24 NOV 08). And about time too :) Get your cheap Hero’s gear today!

Howard, Check out the proclamation on the Girl Genius comic for today (November 24, 2008) You will get a chuckle.
Also, thanks for the Christmas card - My family wishes you and yours very happy holidays and a bright and prosperous 2009.

EVEN FURTHER OFF-TOPIC:
I spot a Minion, and maybe even a Jaegermeister, right here!
November 25th, 2008 at 2:05 pm
@Corgi:
I think you mean Jaegermonster. Jaegermeister is something you (well, some people) drink.

regarding the Girl Genius mention — check the Schlock Mercenaries website page title (top of the Firefox browser). I’m not sure when it changed, but I’m pretty sure it didn’t used to mention estate goods :-)

Another postcard “squee” here, too. Couldn’t have arrived on a better day; I really needed this.
Happy holidays to you, too, Howard. May amorphs never give long-winded speeches at your dinner table in their native language. (short-winded ones are at your discretion, of course.)
