PRE-ORDER UPDATE

First of all, thank you everyone for your patience regarding the changes to the pre-order period! That said, we have a few more updates about how the physical pre-orders will work...

  • Unfortunately, we will only be able to accept pre-orders from the US and Japan. This is mostly due to tax complications- some places are very difficult or impossible for us operating as individuals to ship to.
  • There will be an order cap on the number of pre-orders we accept (as there are only so many CDs we can fit in Lone's bedroom.... which is where we're shipping everything out of.....)
    • Once we hit the order cap, pre-orders will close and merchandise production will begin. While the exact order cap number will remain private, we'll post notifications when we hit certain percentage milestones to keep you updated on how close we are to the cap (50% sold, 75% sold, 90% sold).

    BUT!!!! All international customers will be able to purchase leftover stock!

    Leftover stock will be hosted and shipped by Very Ok Vinyl, who is able to ship worldwide! Both the album-only and deluxe editions will available for purchase at the same price as the pre-orders.

    (Proceeds from the leftover stock sales will still be paid out to the contributors- Very Ok Vinyl is only acting as a distribution partner, as they can ship to places we were struggling to find shipping solutions to- such as the EU and South Korea!)

    This will allow us to reach more places than before, let us get the album to you with less stress, and hopefully make the ordering process smoother for international customers.

    The response to this project has been beyond what we imagined, but I hope that means you'll understand if we weren't expecting such a large amount of potential demand, as we are just two people who like Teto who are shipping CDs out of Lone's bedroom.

    We're very sorry for any inconveniences or confusion this may cause, and appreciate your continued flexibility and understanding! Feel free to reach out with any specific questions: daemondollalbum@gmail.com

    Thank you for your patience!

    TLDR: We had to restructure CD sales due to demand. What does this mean for you?

    If you're an American or Japanese customer...

    Basically nothing has changed for you! You will be able to place a pre-order starting on 4/27 through our Bigcartel.

    We ask that American and Japanese customers refrain from buying leftover stock so other international customers have the opportunity first.

    If you're any other International customer (Everywhere except US and JP)...

    You'll have to wait for leftover sales to purchase the album; you won't be able to pre-order.

    Sorry that you'll have to wait a bit longer! But the alternative was that we wouldn't be able to ship the album to you at all- this was the best way we could work around our limitations. We'll be using the pre-order numbers to gauge demand for the leftover stock, so hopefully everyone who wants one will be able to get a copy! And this way you won't have to wait as long for the album after you buy it 🙂 Thanks for your patience and understanding!

    If you're an EU + UK customer who filled out the interest form...

    Not too dissimilar from our previous set-up. Instead of the Etsy shop, you'll be buying leftover stock from Very Ok Vinyl instead (which will ship to you much faster than we would be able to). We'll be using the pre-order numbers to gauge demand for the leftover stock, so hopefully everyone who wants one will be able to get a copy!

    If you're a Canadian customer...

    Very Ok Vinyl is based in Canada, so congratulations on the reduced shipping cost and wait 🙂

    "I'm a customer in a place that's generally hard to ship to. Will you be able to ship to me?"

    Very Ok Vinyl's international shipping is done through PostNL and APC. You can check your specific country on their service update pages: PostNL / APC.
