we have taken the site completely down and put up a message about being on hiatus. unbound is not going to stay down forever like many distros. we do plan to open again before new years' 2007. we just needed to get on top of things.
those who have orders currently. don't fret you will recieved them or your refunds some time next week. also, folks that have things on consignment with us, we are also working to pay everyone back. that is a big reason we're on hiatus. since we didn't have access to updating the site or taking it down to stop people from ordering when we were out of stock, we have gotten severely in debt from the project and did not want it to get any worse.
Due to serious viruses wiping out two of our computers (including the one we use to upload things for the unbound website) we cannot update the website but we are completely out of a lot of the stock currently listed. We will still try to fill your orders and should you order something that is out of stock you will recieve a refund in the mail. But to help avoid confusion please wait on making any orders through the mail or paypal until we've had the chance to update the site.
ALL RECIEVED ORDERS HAVE BEEN SENT TODAY. If you are not listed and have not recieved an order from us please leave a comment, you do not need a livejournal to comment. All orders were bumped up to priority mail (due to our lateness from computer problems) except for Jeff's order from Chicago since that order was made within the last 7 days.

The order we have currently for the Netherlands will be going out today or tomorrow cheapest rate possible. Which means it will be recieved in about 3 weeks or so, the extra postage cost past what was paid will be paid by us this first time in order to prevent delays. But in the future please check with us on your shipping rate.
-------------- We are working on developing a system for sending out orders that is more efficent than the ways things are currently done. Possibly involved 2 days a month that are definite days when all orders are sent and have it posted on the site which days those are so that everyone has an idea of when they will recieving their orders. This blog and the website will let you know what we come up with.
Take care. Cuidate. Hugs and Revolution, Liberte unbound books collective member

------------------------------------ To be done this week, new PO BOX....will update site with new PO info. But we are still staying in Chicago, FYI.
First off, I just wanted to let folks know that a dear friend of ours, Sketch (Ken Hunt) passed away last monday and we've been planning hir memorials and writing obituaries...this accounts for some of our lateness with orders. To learn more about hir, please check out the center panel on http://chicago.indymedia.org
As for before Sketch's passing, we were core organizers for the Anarchist Feeder to the downtown M19 Anti-War demo and therefore too swamped to do Unbound. We plan to get back on focus starting this evening.
That said, all orders will be sent sometime this week.
Order being sent today: Ismahan Sadiq's order from Apple Valley, MN
...more updates coming soon, including tons of new merch and the adult section that has been long and coming. Also, we may be switching from Paypal to a different online ordering company that accepts folks buying adult material and isn't as horrible as Paypal. much love, unbound
Sent today: Deborah Mancuso's order from San Jose, CA - media mail (4-7 days) Paul French's order from Greensboro, NC - media mail (4-7 days) Sheila O'Hare's order from Scotts Valley, CA - priority (2-3 Days)
