Hello, all! I have a quick update on how shipping will operate in 2026!
USPS shipping costs have almost doubled since I first started my Patreon, to the point that my monthly shipping expenses are greater than the amount I spend on stickers and prints combined. I simply refuse to cut corners on sticker and/or print size and quality to make up for this, so to ensure I can retain the same benefit quality you have always had, I have to make some changes to the only other expense I am willing to work with: shipping.
Starting in January 2026, I will begin operating on a quarterly shipping schedule. All sticker/print tier patrons will receive their benefits in the months of MARCH, JUNE, SEPTEMBER, and DECEMBER. This nicely coincides with the existing Delta Magnazine shipping schedule for ease of ordering magazines, prints, and stickers.
Patrons will still receive ALL benefits from their subscription months; the only thing changing is when things ship. For instance, if you are a patron for December, January, and February, you will receive all three of those months' benefits together when shipments go out at the beginning of March. If you are a patron who joined in January, you will receive January and February's benefits at the beginning of March. If you are a patron who joins just for the month of January and leaves after that month, you will receive just January's benefits at the beginning of March.
October and November's shipments will go out together when the magazines are finished printing in December, and then the quarterly shipping schedule will begin at the start of the new year, with the next shipping month being March!
Those of you who have been on the Discord know that I have been taking the big shipping L for a while now; if by some miracle USPS prices come back down, I will happily go back to a monthly shipping schedule! As of right now, though, it's just not sustainable with the volume of goods I send out every month, especially taking into account the number of international sticker/print patrons I have, too (international shipping has skyrocketed even more than US shipments). I will be sure to note this shipping schedule in the FAQ page for ease of access if anyone needs to come back to reference any of this info!
Thank you guys as always!!
