All packages have shipped!

We are so thankful for your support in backing The Haunted Box and that we are finally in a place to be able to solicit to retailers and open our online store! It is thanks to all of you that we are here.

There are a handful of packages sitting on a pallet waiting to be shipped that are just waiting on those of you who still need to update your addresses, but that's less than 10 people at the moment. Every other package has left the building!

Here are some exciting announcements to look forward to during the holiday season and for 2024!

  • The Haunted Box #2 Kickstarter
  • Iron Age Comics Patreon Launch 
  • Instagram store and online store Grand Opening

Here's a WIP of one of our covers for Issue 2!

Fulfillment 70% complete!
over 2 years ago – Thu, Nov 02, 2023 at 02:02:49 PM

Just a quick update to share with everyone about our shipping progress - we're 70% complete with shipping and fulfilling your rewards! About 55% of you have already received your rewards (and the feedback has been AMAZING! Thank you guys so much!)

The remaining 30% not yet fulfilled fall into these categories:

  • Waiting on specific artist signature(s) and/or remarque(s) (about 60%)
  • Awaiting backer shipping address updates (about 30%)
  • Fulfillment not completed in time before my military training dates (Nov 1-15th)(about 10%)

I'm currently training outside of the US and will return on the 16th of November. So the remaining rewards will be fulfilled the week I get back to the States!

We hope you enjoy the Haunted Box! 

-Jon

 The best things come....

Finally, after all of the waiting and the production issues with the slipcase folio, we FINALLY have a ship date! Iron Age Comics will be receiving our shipment of books and slipcases on October 20th! 

Be on the lookout for an email from Backerkit reminding you of your final chance to correct your address. We will be locking addresses next week!

When am I getting my Haunted Box package?

We are prepping our fulfillment space with all the packaging essentials we need to ensure we can quickly and carefully pack your shipments and get them out to you as soon as possible! Here's how we expect the shipping timelines to work:

  • OCT 20: Iron Age receives the full inventory.
  • OCT 21-25: Packaging, handling, postage paid and carrier pick-up for all non-signed rewards. NON-SIGNED REWARD BACKERS SHOULD RECEIVE THEIR REWARDS WITHIN 10 BUSINESS DAYS FROM OCT 25TH FOR U.S. BACKERS AND APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS FOR BACKERS OUTSIDE OF THE U.S.
  • OCT 22-27: The Haunted Box "signing party" will fall somewhere in this date range. This is when the artists and writers will get together to sign comics and art plates for backers who have ordered signature packages or rewards that automatically come with signatures.
  • OCT 29-31: Packaging, handling, postage paid and carrier pick-up for all signed rewards. SIGNED REWARD BACKERS SHOULD RECEIVE THEIR REWARDS WITHIN 10 BUSINESS DAYS FROM OCT 31ST FOR U.S. BACKERS AND APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS FOR BACKERS OUTSIDE OF THE U.S.
  • NOV 1 -DEC 15: This is the shipping date range for any signed rewards that require artists that could not accommodate the Iron Age signing party. This date range includes the possibility of having to ship your reward to the artist and waiting to receive it back. If your reward falls into this category, we will notify you after the signing party and communicate a better estimated ship date once we have the desired artist's signature.
