Shipping Updates

Updates as of 6/8/2026

Regarding all 2025 books prior to the September box:

As some of you may know, when all the tariffs stuff went down, I went on the hunt for a US based printer to try and avoid any potential unaffordable tariffs. I found one early in 2025 and began the process of getting the books printed with them. There was a lengthy back-and-forth process for the file formatting, as their formatting requirements were vastly different than the previous one I had worked with. In September of 2025, I thought we had reached a point that all my files through June were correctly formatted and the July-August box was in the beginning stages (but would theoretically take less time as we now were on the same page about formatting style). However, they then turned around and raised the price of the printing to an unaffordable amount. As such, I have cancelled all my orders with them and switched to my original printer now that the tariff uncertainty has calmed down. As such, all 2025 boxes are delayed. To combat this, I am having all January through June boxes printed and shipped together to save time. I am also having July through December printed together for the same reason. I have upgraded the shipping on both to get them to me as quickly as possible.

I deeply apologize for these delays and my goal for 2026 is to get fully caught up as early into the year as possible. I thank you for your patience and understanding, but if you would like to cancel any boxes prior to Aiden Pierce, please email me at kari@theboundcollector.com with your order number.

 

Empire High 1-3, Of Serpents and Shadows, The Broken Kingdoms 1-3

The tip-ins for The Broken Kingdoms have arrived at the printer and the books should be finishing up shortly. EH and TC Kraven are fully completed and ready to ship. These should be on their way to me within the week.

 

Langston Brother Duet

There is a delay on the tip-ins but the books are printed and ready to be glued as soon as the tip-ins arrive to the printer. I am hopeful they will ship to me by end of June.

 

Cain/Cav, Bourbon Boys, Beautiful Little Freaks, Aiden Pierce, Katelyn Taylor

These files are being finalized in the new printer style and will begin production shortly. I anticipate these shipping to me by July 2026.
