Hi Bryan!

An email was sent today for an update on your purchase (using your email address you have entered when ordered) with the following: We would like to reassure all fans who ordered “The Story of HIStory”, the shipping has started as planned on July 20. However, due to COVID-19 and the Social Distancing rules in the UK, only one member of our staff is allowed in the packing area at one time which makes the process very slow and tedious. We should be able to complete all orders within 7 days. You will receive an email as soon as your order has been completed.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to email us at shinebrighter@sixteen11.com

Thank you for your understanding and patience

We understand that shipping from the UK to the US can be expensive especially that due to COVID-19 has affected the prices. We are looking to use Amazon but the issue will be still the same as no retailer or publisher in the US are offering to stock the book.

Hi, is this the only place to order the book? Will it be back on Amazon.co.uk? The shipping price to Ireland is almost the same price as the book, which I can’t justify right now. Thanks!
