[Raion]

The long-awaited moment is ready. The mouse pads are ready, but the storefront still is WIP.

What's next?

I need to get the store front set up. Will do so quite soon, hopefully. I do have a UK/EU distributor, and might have a CA one. We will sell to other countries as well, but those outside of US, Canada, UK/EU will need to arrange shipping with me on a case-by-case basis; as I am setting this up to minimize customs duties and such. 

Where will my mouse mat/pad ship from?

If inside the US, I will be responsible for fulfillment. I have secured a "warehouse" in VA (thanks to a generous friend in Virginia Beach) to store up to 300 of each unit until all are shipped out. 

If in Canada, from Canada in all likelihood. 

If in UK/EU, from the UK. We will do our best to minimize customs duties. 

Order cutoffs

In order to minimize shipping delays, not take advantage of donors/sponsors etc. we will be limiting preorders regionally. 

For the US, it's 300 per size. if one of the smaller sizes doesn't hit a threshold of at least 100, I will roll the others into the next largest size or process refunds. 

For the UK/EU, it's 150 per size. We may do reprints in the future, but this will be at our discretion.

Canada, it has not been decided as of this moment. I will update the thread. 

Pre-Order Period

100 days from opening the store. I will send out a mass email, signal boost via various vintage computer groups, reddit, etc. 

When can I expect shipment of my order?

I will inform users of shipment times and such. If at all possible I will try to fulfill orders in a "first in, first out" basis, but this is not guaranteed. For the US, I will probably get shipping done within 2-3 weeks gods willing. This is a logistical challenge for me, but I need to try and make sure it's done right. 

Can I pick up orders from Raion, or the UK/EU distributor?

If you live within driving distance, I will deliver it or meet you, yes. I cannot let you in the warehouse for security reasons, though.

If you're in the UK/EU that's a different story.

I want to resell these for you on eBay/etsy/at VCF etc

I can work something out for this, but you'll need to do a minimum order to make it worth it for our designer, especially if you want priority access. Probably at least 30/size you want. 

How will revenue/profits be handled?

80% of profits will go into funding further bounties, site upgrades/maintenance. 

20% will go to whomever is doing labor in whatever zone (e.g. the US I will get 20%, Canada/UK it will be whomever handles those orders). 

Profit will ONLY be decided after we have a projection of materials/shipping costs. 


Any other questions?
