General Updates [22.11.14]

HI guys, Han here!

Today's updates should be very short!

Jin - The Astronaut Orders

Unless you have combined shipping with the BTS Photo Folios, all of these orders (POs & LDs) have now been invoiced for shipping this past weekend! If you've already paid your shipping then you can expect your order to ship this week.

BTS Photo Folios

I am waiting on just one more order to arrive from Weverse, and the shipping boxes to arrive tomorrow. If you ordered just a singular copy, the boxes provided by Weverse are far too big and will be very expensive to ship, hence why I'm buying some smaller boxes myself. I should have sent all the shipping quotes for these by Wednesday, so if you stay vigilant, I should be able to ship your order by the end of the week.

Other Shipments

If you paid for shipping last week, it will be shipped this week without fail so please sit tight if you haven't received your tracking information yet.

Korean Addresses

A few of you have experienced issues when it comes to paying and having shipping to your Korean addresses, so here are a few things I think can help:

1. Pre-save your Korean address on your profile on this website so it's available for you when you check out.

2. Make sure a 'default address' is not selected when you are going through the PayPal checkout.

3. If your order goes through with your international address, please use the form on the contact page and update me with your Korean address (in Korean) and Korean phone number as soon as your order is placed! That way I can update it on my end straight away.

I appreciate it's a glitch for some but it makes me have to do things twice on my end if you wait until I've already quoted you for international shipping (which involves measuring, weighing and plugging everything into the system to get an accurate quote T v T) It would be a great help to me if you let me know about the problem before I've started packing, and doing it through the website rather than Twitter DMs means the information is on hand for me too.

Upcoming Holiday

It's still a bit early but I did want to give a heads up: I will be going on holiday to the UK from Dec 19th - Jan 1st! It's my first time home in 3.5 years since moving to Korea and obviously, I can't pack and ship orders when I'm not here.

I will still be taking orders for any merch drops, however anything that arrives in this time won't be shipped until the new year. Indigo and Jin's Photo Folios *should* arrive to me before I go on holiday, but as Weverse is slow as hell and the post office isn't open on the weekend, there is a smmmmaall chance those items won't ship until after I come back. Just want to give everyone a heads up!

That's all for today ^^ I hope you're all staying warm as the weather cools down (or vice versa for my Aussies!)

Magic & Purple Hearts,

Han

Upcoming Merch Predictions (End of 2022)

Hey guys,

I put together this list of potential releases that may happen towards the end of the year.

These are all just educated guesses to help any fellow collectors get their priorities in order xD

1 - Wooteo Themed MD

Honestly feel like this could be any time this week, and could be just a plushy or may be a whole collection 💀

2 - Weverse Black Friday Sale

I think it will most likely be TinyTan, BT21 and Weverse content that go on sale but there are still a few bits of random merch from old releases that they might put on sale; just something to be mindful of.

3 - 2022 Dalmajung Restock

After the initial sale they were selling this MD at the Busan concerts, so I feel like there is still a small chance they might restock if there was still leftovers from there. (Yes I am aware they say 'discontinued' at the moment, but they've done this before too.)

4 - RM Solo Album (& Lucky Draws?)

If all the rumors are true, then the official release will be November 25th, which means the promotional information and preorders could drop any day now. Personally I'd put my money on next Monday being the start of preorders!

5 - New TXT Album

This one is a bit less concrete but Yeonjun and Hyuka recently spoke about the concept for their next comeback in a live, so that makes me think things are already concrete and they just need time to recover from their tour. I would put money on the preorders opening this month with a release in mid-Dec latest.

6 - Jin's Photo Folio & Soobin's Birthday MD

Obviously with their birthdays being early December, the preorders will likely open in the last week of November, just before or during the Black Friday sales (don't expect any discounts though!)

7 - BTS & TXT Little Wishes Holiday Collection

They did this last year for all HYBE artists and in my memory it seemed to sell really well, so I don't see why they wouldn't do it again this year. (This could also potentially be our last OT7 MD this year :c)

I can't remember the exact sales period they had last year, but I think I remember it arriving before the holidays so the sales would need to be early December latest.

8 - TXT (and maybe BTS???) Seasons Greetings

Preorders typically start mid/late-November to early December, with these shipping around the 20th-ish domestically, so they arrive before the new years. I was fairly confident we'd get a BTS one until I saw the calendar in the Us, Ourselves and BTS folio, so now I'm not sure... 😥

9 - V's Photo Folio

I expect sales to start mid-December and release on/around his birthday as with all the others.

10 - Weverse New Year's Concert Tickets

BTS almost definitely won't be in it as a group this year, and I dunno why but my gut tells me the members won't be performing their solos here either, but that's just my conjecture. TXT on the other hand, I expect to see in their full force!

Tickets will likely open early to mid-December and the show will be on New Year's Eve as per usual.

11 - MOA Membership Renewal

I expect the announcement to be late-Dec or early January, with the renewal period also being in January, as this is what they do every year!

So... how's everyone spending their pennies? XD

But in all seriousness, I hope this list is helpful to someone!

General Updates [22.10.09]

This is just a general update for all orders, in case anyone was uncertain or concerned about anything~

All orders for Weverse/Samsonite items have been successfully placed~

If you ordered any of the following:

• Jimin Photo Folio

• BTS LY:SY DVD/DC/BR

• BTS Love Yourself Her Vinyl LP

• Samsonite Luggage

Your order has been successfully placed (up to and including order number 10042.) Most of these items are still available so I have left the order pages open, but if anyone wants me to open for the 2nd preorder of Jimin's Folio then please let me know on Twitter :3

If you're waiting for a refund from BTS Proof Exhibition Trip #3 or #4

I will be emailing everyone whose orders have been affected today, and will send refunds as requested by tomorrow (Monday KST).

If you are waiting for shipping from BTS Proof Exhibition Trip #1 ~ #4

I will be organizing that this evening (Sunday KST) and send shipping quotes by tomorrow (Monday KST).

If you have already paid for domestic shipping, I will just register your package and refund any repeat charges.

Monday is a public holiday so shipping won't actually happen until Tuesday earliest.

Future trip slots~

Previously I said I would visit the Yet To Come Seoul Popup, but after monitoring the situation on Twitter, none of the By BTS items are left anyway, so I'm just going to wait for the Weverse release of the Busan merch, as it will be less strenuous and also cheaper since there are no travel fees to factor in. I will open the order page for these items today or tomorrow as the Weverse sale begins on Tuesday.

If you are waiting for Trip #5 slots for the Proof Exhibition, they will open Mon 5pm KST, approx 25.5 hours from now! I will be visiting the exhibition on Tues, and I will not open slots for the items that where sold out during the last two trips (ie the RM & j-hope lenticular sets).

Final call for BTS T-Money orders

If you want to order the BTS T-Money cards being released on Jimin's birthday, consider today as you final chance as I will be closing the order page whenever I wake up tomorrow. So get your orders in asap!

I think that's everything, but if you have any questions, feel free to leave them below! 💜💙
