Just got the boxes delivered from the printer today, after a 2-week delay. Packed up about 30 website orders today! Didn't get them packed in time to get to the post office, it was an all-day packing effort... will get all recent orders out into the mail tomorrow (Tues) morning. I hope the post offices aren't still insanely mobbed for holiday season, but they probably are...

Anyone know if there's a way to buy Fuff in the UK? I have them all except #9 and #10, most of which I've bought at the shows. Postage seems pretty expensive on the Jeffrey Lewis website ($15 - more than double the cost of the 2 comics) so was wondering if there's a better option.

Right now the only store in the UK that carries Fuff, as far as I am aware, is Travelling Man comics in Newcastle. I suppose even if you don't live in Newcastle, ordering from them would be MUCH cheaper postage than ordering from the USA!
Or perhaps you can nudge your local comic shop to order some stuff from me! Or give me their contact info and I'll nudge them myself!
Other than that, it's just me running around the world on tour and trying to carry as many comics as I can lug up and down venue/housing stairs each day without breaking my back! I've somewhat decided to stop carrying Fuff #0 on tour. It's the biggest, heaviest one, 72 pages on thicker, glossy paper, and I think if I stop carrying that one on tour it would allow me to carry many more comics in general.

I ordered some issues in the past, like the fuff 0 but i also think postage is too expensive, not saying you charge too much though, but it is expensive. I will wait to get it at a live show, hopping there will be 9 and 10 there.

Thanks for the info, I'll get in touch with that shop in Newcastle and, failing that, I'll pop into the shop when I'm next there for a football match!

Edit: Spoke to them and they no longer sell it unfortunately.

No longer sell it? Hmm, that either means they sold out of it very fast ( I just shipped them the books a few weeks ago) or they didn't even get them yet! I'll email them to ask if I should send more.

I just contacted Travelling Man comics in Newcastle and they said they do still have 17 copies of Fuff #10 in stock, as well as the other issues.
Andrew at the shop says:
"Hey! I just counted them, we have 17, so a miscommunication for sure! Tell them to ask another staff member if they are unsure where to look"

I also had this dilemma with the new Fuff – I usually wait until there's enough stuff to make a bulk order direct – so I reckon this time around I'll wait until a tour comes through.

Having said that, if you want the name of a local comic book to hassle, mine is Excelsior in Bristol, UK – I bet they'd totally be up for stocking it. http://www.excelsiorcomics-bristol.co.uk/

Thanks AFB! I'll try to contact them through their website right now...
