My question is how hard is it really to ship a comic? I get you want to protect it, so it's going to be in something better than a paper envelope, but all that should be factored into the cost. I guess warehouse space, maybe?

Depends on a couple of things; whether or not you're doing fulfillment yourself or have a team, stretch goals that may add to the shipping cost or otherwise complicate things in unexpected manners, accounting for storage space whether that be your own home or buying warehouse space like you said. A lot of these problems go away if you have the money to hire a competent fulfillment center or have your own efficient team of friends or whatever. But if you're doing everything by yourself for example, packing, labeling, getting all the supplies and transporting lets say 1000 books to be shipped can take at least a month to get everything out. And that's assuming you don't have a day job. Even half that would be a task for someone not prepared for it. It's not particularly hard but can be very time consuming if you don't make a plan first.

I see. But even if he's doing it on his own, once he has the packing materials... it shouldn't take long. What job does he have other than the podcast- pretty sure nothing. Shipping with all the free time he has shouldn't take too long.

Didn't he "create" card game graphics?

Technically, yes. Vito is the kind of guy to hold a door open at the courthouse for one person one time and then tell everyone for the rest of his life about how he had a "brief stint" on "Capitol Hill" really "opening doors" for a whole generation of politicians! So, in that sense, yes "he" has "created graphics" for "card games."

To be fair, he is using a completely different font. The issue is he doesn't understand why use a bolder font.

Bingo, and that can summarize virtually all his creative choices. He knows real graphic designers focus on font weight, but has no clue where, when, or why.

Take his use of yellow in thumbnails and logos, for instance. He knows people use yellow in thumbnails and he knows it works, but if his life depended on it he could never tell you how or why it works. Yellow is a pattern disruptor, a jarring color that can highly contrast with many other colors. You want to break the pattern of people scrolling endless. Your single most compelling word in your thumbnail should be yellow, like "MURDER!" You're scrolling, and then bam, "MURDER!" over a soyjak Mario face with a funeral procession in the background? You're getting millions of views.

When he talks about how the haters in his thread don't know ANYTHING about any creative endeavor, he means we don't pay lipservice to the most basic bitch fundamentals. Meanwhile, he's making words like "THE" or "DISNEY" the big yellow term in his thumbnail. What an idiot!

Not hard at all. I've helped a friend to ship hundreds of books back in the days, the entire process can be automated very easily. This was many years ago and it was easy, nowadays, it would be easier with bulk label creation.

Spoiler: Process

What we did was wrap the books in a layer of bubble wrap, and then put it in a large padded paper envelope. I used a trash excel sheet to isolate the orders by quantity. For more than 2 copies, we took special care. We simply used a long bench and stacked up the books corresponding to the number of copies within.

Labels were simple too, they were all exported and printed in bulk, corresponding to the number of books. Shipping rates were calculated by the courier with an extra $2.99 for materials and handling, we lost money on this but made far more with the book sales.

Nowadays, you can purchase prefabricated cardboard boxes where the book slots in perfectly. It's a little more expensive, but you save big on time and labour costs. No plastic rubbish either, you get to upcharge a little and claim how environmentally friendly your packing process it. It works, I would personally pay some extra if it means I'm not shitting up the rivers and oceans with cheap plastic rubbish.

This isn't rocket science. The fact that Juju and his merry band of CG losers are having issues with this simply shows how out of depth they are. Their whining about Isom's freight charges were especially pathetic and just goes to show us that they don't know what they're talking about.

Oh and bottom line, in order to ship a book, you need to have one first. So where's the book, Vedo? How about yours, Ethan?

So shipping isn't a issue if you actually put in effort. Which is easier than ever. Kinda what I thought tbh.

 

[SteelPlatedHeart]

Isn’t one of the things he and Dax like to hate on Eric July for is “lol you bought a warehouse for your business and shipping, you dumb loser!”? Because the irony here is pitiable regarding his approach to shipping.

Unlike Vedo's supernonce or EVS' cyber Frenchmen picture books, Eric July's comic sold at least a hundred thousand. We've all seen that massive pallet.

With that many, yeah, you'd like to hire a contractor which could cause quality issues, or get a warehouse. A shitty LA shack obviously won't cut it.

They also offer merchandise. In many places, freight companies will either overcharge or flat out refuse to ship to residential locations.

Again, this is shit anyone who had a job would know, or at least understand. It's simple logistics that a child shelving Balldo's shitty booze would know.

Pretty much. He might have storage issues with the inventory, Gemini mailers, and bags/boards for the comics. But with the exception of the lunchbox tiers. The book tiers could easily be assembly lined for quick packaging. Weigh a book that is bagged, boarded, and in a mailer. Then print labels for everyone that just got one book. Then move on to the next tier when done. And so on. Lunchbox ones can be assembly lined too. But may be more work.

He'll lose some hours bagging and boarding the books. But he could easily knock this out in less than a week or two. More if he just wants to take his time. Other issue could be getting the packages to the post office or whatever he ends up using. But he might be able to get them to come to him for pick up. If he ends up taking them there. He may want to rent/borrow a van or truck or something.

Having said all that. Because he's billing people shipping after the fact. He probably won't be able to go the assembly line route and orders will more than likely be sprinkling out a little each day as people pay.


Edit: Guess I should have read what AltisticRight wrote before posting. He had the process down fairly well.

It still doesn't seem it would take long, but thanks for the explanation. Interesting but not totally surprising he's charging shipping, given how small the order total is gonna be.

Well, normally with crowdfunds, he'd get the money prior. But either out of kindness or he doesn't want to end up paying out of pocket because of postal increases. He's invoicing people after the book is done. With around 1,500 orders, it'll be a bit of a headache and possibly cause confusion.

Notice how the words are warped in the middle, as if pushing against the measuring tape. The words are BIG. If you wanted to emphasize the Biggest, why not have the edges of the box in the background be warped, bent, buckling? Having the words break the box is the most obvious design change, but what do I know, im just a nigger on KF.

Tell us more about how little we know, Christopher. Tell us more how if any of us had women or jobs, we'd one day be as smart as you.

No you dont get it, vito is a real graphic designer so we need to hear how creative he is 24/7. Totally not just taking the logo from someone else like a total hack. Maybe he can steal the rest of a comic book and put that out.

That'd be an improvement.

And that's yet another reason why he needs a warehouse space. He's using UPS which is one of the best couriers, being the best, they ask for the best prices as well. It's cheaper to get the courier to pick up the goods anyway, which UPS does without an issue.

For non-metropolitan areas, UPS will often outsource to a local courier to bring the item to their depot. This adds in another party that will cause quality issues, just give it time. It's also why I stopped using UPS. In Eric's case, they'll likely outsource to USPS which is garbage, or worse, Cletus Foetus who owns a truck. That's assuming Eric lives in a rather remote area. USPS uses massive sorting rollers for envelops and flat parcels, these rollers will often damage whatever is inside, no matter how good it was packed. It makes more sense to rent a warehouse slot in the same suburb as the major courier's distribution centres. If anyone drives a lot and passes through industrial zones, you'll definitely see giant warehouses with FedEx, UPS, DHL, USPS et cetera logos, with various supermarket chains such as Costco and Walmart within close proximity. That's the ideal location to have a warehouse spot.

Most couriers outsource to someone with a truck, that's why you'd want a dedicated distribution warehouse and use a reliable one. Couriers rarely operate a fleet nowadays. Free shipping isn't free and Juju is a fucking retard.

It still doesn't seem it would take long, but thanks for the explanation. Interesting but not totally surprising he's charging shipping, given how small the order total is gonna be.

The first batch would take some time but once a working formula gets established, shipping 1000 copies should be the same as 200.
