HTTV? It's coming; stop emailing seth please
Anyone else still waiting to receive the Kickstarter HTTV? I’m in the Lansing area and every day I think today will be the day.....
Yeah, I have the mobile link but I prefer to have the actual mag given the format.
I think next year I may just wait and order it from the mgostore. Seems like that’s the quicker option. It stinks that you think you’re getting put at the front of the line by being a backer. Trying to be patient, but this sucks.
[EDIT-SETH: https://mgoblog.com/content/yes-your-hail-victors-coming] The upshot:
Your books are fine, and are shipping on schedule. It’s just that, as we mentioned previously, our schedule this year was backed up four weeks from normal. This had nothing to do with the printer or shipping. It’s because our whole staff had medical issues ranging from serious to life-altering this spring, and then we had a website relaunch. The last article wasn't submitted until after the date we usually have the first shipment of books in hand.
That was 10 days ago; they said up to 14 and most should arrive before that. I'm positive the Midwest was at the bottom of the stack this year, or that they were working from both ends, because Cali/Hawaii (high) and East Coast (low) zip codes arrived first and I'm still waiting on mine.
The MGoStore may be earlier than Kickstarter next year for like a third of the Kickstarter backers, but it doesn't come with a digital edition. Again, sorry it's taking so long.]

Received mine in Brighton last week.
August 16th, 2018 at 7:20 PM ^
That's it!!
I'm moving to Brighton. Or Jersey. Oakland is even in play (and I DON'T mean Oakland U or County, either). East Coast, West Coast, no coast, whatever/wherever it takes to get my HTTV!

August 17th, 2018 at 12:14 AM ^
I'm in Brighton and didn't receive mine until today. Weird how the postal service works...
August 16th, 2018 at 6:57 PM ^
Still waiting here in Indianapolis area. Was on the kick starter pretty early... any day I hope?
edit: thanks Seth for rapid update.
August 16th, 2018 at 6:58 PM ^
I live 60 miles from Ann Arbor and have yet to receive my copy as well. Checking the mail has never been more disappointing.
August 16th, 2018 at 6:58 PM ^
Edit:
And yes, I’ve confirmed that all my info was received and good to go via the spreadsheet the Seth posted.
August 16th, 2018 at 6:58 PM ^
Got mine today, Louisville KY
August 17th, 2018 at 7:53 AM ^
Ditto.
August 16th, 2018 at 6:59 PM ^
Got mine today, I live about a 1/2 hour west of Ann Arbor.
August 16th, 2018 at 6:59 PM ^
Someone ordered me one, and I received it two weeks ago (I think). And then received the ones I ordered a few days ago. Not sure that makes it any better for you, but thought you'd appreciate the answer. Also, I know there was some concern about the books being damaged, but all three of them arrived just fine.
August 16th, 2018 at 7:03 PM ^
Got mine yesterday in Duluth.
August 16th, 2018 at 7:09 PM ^
That was 10 days ago; they said up to 14
Maybe wait 4 more days before complaining then?
August 16th, 2018 at 7:10 PM ^
Received mine today in Cantin,MI
August 16th, 2018 at 7:11 PM ^
Dubious
August 16th, 2018 at 7:25 PM ^
Came out online like a month ago. In this day and age where everything is so easy to access online I’m not sure what everyone is complaining about with their HTTV showing up in the mail.
Then again I also didn’t order signed copies so maybe that’s it.
August 16th, 2018 at 7:26 PM ^
Received mine today in metro Detroit.
Lucky for me it was delivered on a day where it was raining all day. Needless to say the envelope and magazine inside were completely soaked. :(
August 16th, 2018 at 7:47 PM ^
??? The hell. We paid for 1st class delivery. Do you have a mailbox they didn't put it in or something?
August 16th, 2018 at 8:25 PM ^
It was in the mailbox but I have one of the wider/shorter boxes as opposed to the thinner/longer style...miss my country mailbox.
Think it was just a bit of bad luck with the constant rain all day long and the paper envelope.
If you guys offered an option in the future to ship in a envelope like Amazon uses (bubble lined poly mailers), I'd be willing to pay to decrease the likelihood of rain damage/bending.
August 16th, 2018 at 9:19 PM ^
Email me I'll get you a new copy if we have enough.
August 16th, 2018 at 7:30 PM ^
I live just south of Metro Airport and it hasn't arrived yet, but then I look at it like this - as long as I have about a week to read it before we punch Notre Dame in the mouth, I am fine.
August 16th, 2018 at 7:35 PM ^
Received mine in Detroit today.
August 16th, 2018 at 8:23 PM ^
I’ll just leave this here...the interesting part to me is the wording in the deleted tweet

August 16th, 2018 at 8:38 PM ^
Ha, the comments over there are great. They can’t come to the simple conclusion that the guy doesn’t want to be associated with a program that covers for domestic violence and is jumping on a new opportunity to get away.
August 16th, 2018 at 10:18 PM ^
He was "encouraged."
August 16th, 2018 at 8:29 PM ^
My brother (Chicago) and I (Atlanta) were talking last night and neither have received. Not complaining - just sharing for statistical purposes.
August 16th, 2018 at 9:21 PM ^
This helps immensely actually. I didn't know until today that Florida and Georgia addresses were behind like the midwest.
August 17th, 2018 at 5:36 AM ^
I'm in Georgia, 90 miles southwest of ATL and haven't received my HTTV.
Edit: Not complaining, just providing additional data about the delivery time to my location.
August 16th, 2018 at 8:32 PM ^
Living in Northern Michigan still waiting patiently.
August 16th, 2018 at 9:09 PM ^
Same here, I’m in Lake Ann as well, lol!
August 17th, 2018 at 9:08 AM ^
In Traverse City and haven't gotten mine yet either. I was in the process of blaming my wife for throwing it out, then I saw this.
August 16th, 2018 at 8:42 PM ^
Good lord. We get a thousand threads about this from impatient people every year. Just wait.
August 16th, 2018 at 9:37 PM ^
Eh, one every once in awhile helps me communicate since not everyone checks emails and the front page every day.
You should see my inbox. I've had to give half of them to David just so I can work.
August 16th, 2018 at 11:17 PM ^
What happened to you man? Did you age 60 years overnight and suddenly become Grumpy Old Man? Chill out.
August 16th, 2018 at 8:49 PM ^
I asked my wife and daughters yesterday if they they were messing with me and hid my copy. Alas, no such luck.
August 16th, 2018 at 9:14 PM ^
As long as I get one at my foreign-ass address, I'll be happy.
August 16th, 2018 at 9:23 PM ^
That all depends on the kind ass service in your particular foreignity.
August 16th, 2018 at 9:40 PM ^
The Canadian postal service is fine, and in my experience has usually been slightly better than its American counterpart; it's customs I worry about. They seem to arbitrarily hold onto some packages and charge duty at random. I swear customs has fabric-smelling dogs (they like to charge duty on clothing).
August 16th, 2018 at 10:21 PM ^
In retrospect, including the Arabian Goggles was probably not the best idea.
August 16th, 2018 at 9:45 PM ^
you're not kidding - received mine in Boston at least a week ago I think...
August 16th, 2018 at 9:47 PM ^
Got mine today in Commerce Twp.
August 16th, 2018 at 10:06 PM ^
I don't have mine, and I'm just south of Wisconsin. Not complaining, I have the digital and I assume it's coming. Just hoping that maybe this info helps.
August 16th, 2018 at 11:06 PM ^
I got mine earlier this week in Brooklyn. The content is awesome, but the print is so small, my tired eyes may have to go to the online version!
August 16th, 2018 at 11:50 PM ^
I was absent from the board during the Kickstarter (for the most part), so I ended up buying a copy afterword. I received my digital copy immediately and my HTTV hard copy came within 2 weeks. I’m surprised people are still waiting.
Maybe it’s because I live in Florida?
August 17th, 2018 at 12:03 AM ^
I've got my copies. If you want, I'll sell you one for what I paid, plus shipping. I'm in Chicago.
August 17th, 2018 at 12:27 AM ^
Still waiting here in Tampa, FL. Was an early backer as well.
Edit: To paraphrase a previous post: "I have the digital version and I am not upset. Just hoping this info helps."
August 17th, 2018 at 12:55 AM ^
In Utah, got mine today. Thanks dudes, I’ve already been enjoying the reading.
August 17th, 2018 at 6:30 AM ^
I’m waiting in Northern Michigan to give to my Dad. I do have the Kindle version though which I’ve read more than once.
August 17th, 2018 at 7:01 AM ^
I got mine over a week ago in Northenr Va
August 17th, 2018 at 8:31 AM ^
Mike from Downriver here, got my sack of two and a shirt delivered early last week.
