CLOSED - VALIANT WONDERCON EXCLUSIVES OFFER - WITH PHOTOS

[drmirage]

UPDATE:

Six new reviews have been added to A&A Volume #1 TPB since the annoucement Thank you for those who are participating in this offer.

I need to remind everyone that the Valiant Promotional Card is extremely rare. VEI is offering only 50 cards total for this offer.

Also, if each Valiant TPB's gets 50 additional reviews, it can only help in a major way to raise awareness of these great books to the ordinary Amazon reader. I will have a running total of members very soon.

Thanks again.

Elery -

First, thanks for doing this. You are amazing.

My reviews are all up, and posted. I would love to get one of the Shadowman shirts, XL, please. I will send over the total.

Next, a strange question, and I THINK I know the answer...

If I had someone else... Say, a twelve year old... Write a SECOND review under HER account, and she then JOINED valiantfans.com... Might I be eligible to get a second shirt?

Thanks for all. Pm and payment will be a coming...

[hawkeyeps]

Hey Dr.M,

My Mom has an account and I'm in now, I will get reviews done for all 4

Put me down for a Medium blue Valiant shirt with Shadowman (also Medium) as a second choice.

I'll post back here when my homework is done.

Thanks so much for doing this, I'm dying (and have been for quite some time) for a Valiant shirt.

Cheers,

Hawk

Elery,
Can you confirm that I'm good so I can pay...thanks

[drmirage]

I will confirm everything this evening, after the kids are asleep!

[drmirage]

Kevin,

If a twelve year old READ the books and can write her OWN unique reviews on all the four (4) books on her own separate Amazon account, that is considered a unique review and will be eligible

She then can join Valiant Fans and introduce herself at the My Valiant Story. She will be considered a Valiant Fans member and is fulfilling the requirment for this offer.

You do have to make a separate order and payment. I am unable to combine the shipping for these.

The envelopes will be too lage and can damage the products.

You expressed a similar sentiment when we were trying to get orders together for the FCBD book. You eventually bought some from someone else after stating that we were stupid for paying for a free book.

You don't have to do anything. Please stop complaining when others try to make exclusives available while promoting Valiant at the same time.

Everyone's entitled to their opinion, but two things:

1) No one is forcing you to buy it. He has listed the terms. If you don't like them don't buy.

2) What are your alternative options? He is providing a service to those of us that live in areas where cons do not exist.

And complaining about having to write a postive review?!?!

You seem like good people, but if you don't like something sometimes it's best to keep that to yourself.

[drmirage]

Hawkeye! Well done man!

Amazon.ca (Amazon Canada) reviews are Amazon reviews!!!!

Done!

First reviews ever on Amazon.ca!

Thanks again Elery

I probably should have explained the details on the actual shipping cost and explain why a Valiant T-Shirt costs more for Canada and international buyers to everyone.

Here is why: I am using US Postal Service to ship these items. (This is what I use to ship all my orders) I always use a Legal Size Flat Rate Envelope 15" x 9-1/2" (It costs $.25 more, but packs more than the leter size envelope) These Flat Rate envelopes are also Flat Rate, meaning that the shipping prices for all domestic, Canada and International is FLAT. Imagine if I have figure out how to calculate each package and guess on how much to charge for shipping.... that would be insane.

In my oppinion, USPS Priority Flat Rate is the most affordable / fastest / most reliable way to ship items. Plus, the Envelopes and Supplies are FREE from the US Post Office.
(Believe me. I ship a lot of small items and you cannot beat price/speed/reliability for this service)

Since its a flat rate envelope, for domestic, you can put up to 70lbs - For Canada and International destinations, the maximum weight of 4 lbs

Shipping Costs - Legal Flat Rate Envelope (Duration 2-3 Days for Domestic and 6-10 Business Days for International)
These rates include the envelope and Delivery Confirmation which adds tracking to each of these packages at no extra cost.
$5.25 US Domestic
$19.95 Canada
$23.95 Worldwide

USPS does offer First Class Shipping. I would not take a risk in shipping anything First Class to Canada or International because it takes a longer time to get there, plus its difficult to track First Class packages. So sending this First Class is out of the question. Also, if I use First Class, I will need to purchase packaging materials and that will probably cost the same price as shipping with Priority Mail.

So that explains the shipping ...... Now, for the shirts.

The cost of each shirt is $25.00 each

There is no discount for quantities, that is the fixed price. I do not think you can buy these shirts anywhere for less than that.
Plus the California Sales Tax already included in these prices which already saves you 9% over retail.

If you calculate my cost, here are the actual numbers.

$25 + $5.25 US Domestic + $1.25 Paypal Fees = $31.50 / shipped
$25 + $19.95 Canada + $1.65 Paypal Fees = $46.60 / shipped
$25 + $23.95 Worldwide + $1.77 Paypal Fees = $50.72 / shipped

If anyone is interested to know how I calculated the Paypal Fees - Please visit this site:
http://salecalc.com/paypal#p=0&e=2.9&f= ... =0&m=0&c=0" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

When I started this topic, I told myself that I will do this at COST + SHIPPING. And I am not making any $ from this offer.
This deal will be as transparent as possible. (Nothing more, nothing less)

I offered my services to acquire these items and pack and ship them at no profit to anyone who wants to do the Amazon reviews.

Lastly, VEI is supporting this offer by providing FREE Con Limited Items. I hope this answers questions you may have to why a shirt cost $56. (HOLY CON JOB.... NOT)

So, for me to get the promo card I have to write a positive review of their tpb's and spend at least $56 on a tee shirt?
Holy con job batman!

Strange to me that Harbinger only increased by one. Seems EVERYONE or nearly everyone had ALREADY reviewed it!

Dr. Mirage had asked several of us previously to review it so I know my review was already there. A&A was the only new one I had to do.

[Phantom]
