Above The Fold by Noel Bowler Final Update #14 - SHIPPING UPDATE #3
over 2 years ago – Mon, Nov 15, 2021 at 09:46:53 AM

Hi All


Just to follow up again on the frustrating Brexit imposed shipping delays. It appears that the majority of backers worldwide have by now received their copy of Above The Fold. For the past few weeks I have been sending replacement copies to those of you whose books had still not arrived. All follow up copies are being sent using a private courier and the shipments are arriving as scheduled. If you are still waiting for your copy, please contact me directly (here or [email protected]) and I will have your copy expedited to you.


Thanks to everyone who has been posting pictures of the book across social media, I'm so very grateful for your continued support and of your course your patience.


Thank you all.

Above The Fold by Noel Bowler Final Update #13 - SHIPPING UPDATE #2
over 2 years ago – Tue, Oct 19, 2021 at 02:38:41 AM

Hi All

Just to follow up again on the frustrating Brexit imposed shipping delays. I’ve been informed by Royal Mail there are still significant customs delays with shipments to the EU from the UK. Ireland seems to have the longest backlog with delays reported of up to 5 weeks, with Portugal and Germany not far behind. However with regards to Above The Fold this delay seems to only be affecting the single largest shipment of books sent on Sept 20th/21st as subsequently single deliveries seem to have arrived.


At present I am unable to move this forward with Royal Mail as all shipments need to be “missing” for at 25 working days before they will even begin to investigate it. This means waiting a further two weeks and then I can start this process for any orders that have still not arrived. Rest assured that if this situation is not resolved in the next few weeks, all your books and orders will be reshipped using a private courier service.


It would be helpful to know who is still waiting for their book and rewards so I can submit a detailed audit to Royal Mail and make arrangements to reship your order if necessary. If you could reply to this message and let me know I would be very grateful.


Reminder of the postage dates from the UK were as follow:

Sept 20th         Majority of orders to Rep of Ireland

Sept 21st          Majority of orders to Europe

Sept 22-25th    Majority of Orders to USA and rest of the World.

Sept 30th         All large and framed orders.


Thanks to you all for your continued patience. As always please contact me directly if you have any further questions.

Above The Fold by Noel Bowler Update #10 - Any Address Changes?
over 2 years ago – Mon, Aug 30, 2021 at 09:41:49 AM

Hi All

With the book now printed and shipping at the end of September, can I just ask you to check that I still have your correct address. 


If you wish to update your address, you can edit through Backerkit, or notify me directly if you wish me to change your address for you.  


If your address is still the same, you have nothing else to do. :)
