Question- Seawatch Books Order - Need Help!

[James G]

I pre-ordered David’s new book on the Fubbs. Seawatch Books billed me a month ago and I’ve yet to receive the book. I’ve reached out to Seawatch twice and Purple Dot and can’t get a response from anyone. I did receive the downloads of the Fubbs plans but that’s it. 
 

Has anyone received their pre-order? I’m thinking my book has somehow been lost. Need some help on how to get a response from Seawatch Books. Thanks everyone!

 

Best,

Jim

I understand others have received their copies, so it sounds entirely possible your has gone AWOL. Try e-mailing the publisher again.

I received a shipping notice today.

Hi All -

 

Sorry about this. I found out late last week there was a snafu with the system where a lot of orders didn't get shipped. It's been fixed and the balance of the unshipped orders should have gone out today/tomorrow (11/19).

 

Thanks for your patience and my apologies!

Mine is due on Monday.

I received mine in perfect order despite the fact that it travelled for nearly half of the globe circumference and also I was able to check the status of the parcel almost every day through the site of the carrier so rest assured it is just a simple transport glitch. Enjoy your book when it arrives!

Thanks everyone for the feedback! I did finally receive my copy. Looks wonderful! I’ll be digging into it tonight. As always, everyone in the Model Ship World is so helpful. Wishing you all Happy Holidays and good health in 2025.

 

Best,

Jim

Hi guys. I pre-order the plans back in Oct and when they came in, my order was never received. Any ideal of when I will get them and what time frame will they be in stock.  Seems I should have gotten them on the first batch which tells me that Mike didn't order enough.

I have not received my plans either.

Hi Kent. Well, I figure Mike will chime in some time in the future, but I do hope it will be soon to let us know whats going on. Gary

Hi Everyone -

 

About the plans - they came in last week but as we were about to ship them we saw there was a snafu from the printer which required us to ship plans back to get recut. I should have an updated date very soon, but I'm hoping we can ship them later next week. Sorry about that (and the lack of transparency - a communication fault on my end).

Thanks Mike will keep a look out for them. Gary
