Well, my books showed up today.

Image

There's a stamp on the box that says "Damaged in Handling in the Postal Service"

What can I do? Or do I just have to buy another copy for the second printing?

..
To Clarify: The only ones damaged are four and five. It's obvious that the original box was dropped, as I see other pictures with bubble wrap, and... There's no bubble wrap. And the Postage labels are taped to the box, stuck to extraneous pieces of cardboard, likely cut from the original (likely smashed) box.

I gotta be able to make them at least refund me so I can afford the second printing, right?
..
Oh wait, the bubble wrap is there, just torn up and stuffed back in the box.

If you are international it comes with like $90 worth of insurance. I don't know about domestic and it's worth a shot to ask about it. Fortunately we have a few extras and this is why there is an emergency fund. Either email me at foeprintproject@gmail.com or PM me here with your information and I will fix this. Keep in mind though that I can't do anything until this weekend when I can actually get away from campus. Sorry this happened and I promise to fix it.

I think the post office would be liable to pay for all expenses in cases where they are the responsible for damages and especially in that bad case. I mean that book is literally destroyed. Atleast it wouldn't hurt to ask about it from them too.

Chris Fleming here. Still no books yet, but I'll give it a few more days before I start to worry.

Wha... how? Did they drop the box into a shredder or something? The sight of those books makes me cringe.

Looks like I got it sorted out, and the world is not ending. Thanks to all the amazing people involved in the printing, and sorry for posting that terrible, terrible picture.
