King refused to sign any copies. He could smell a rat.
Vincent implied that King would be signing copies. No doubt King found out about the fraud and therefor refused to sign. King said he wouldn't sign the books on principle.

It really is a sad story. King fans, and I presume Vincent and everyone involved wanted it (everything, not just King stuff) to be a success. People are still clinging to the hopes of NRB getting their act together; but the stark reality is that success is unlikely, and failure is either imminent, or has already happened before our very eyes.
I wish NRB the best, yet I care more for those who have paid for, and may never receive their expected deliveries.
So I just emailed them and asked for a full refund for both June and July. I'll let you know if I hear anything. I guess my next step is to contact my credit card in a few days and see what they say. I've been reading through the fb group, and it looks like he's refunding some people and not refunding others, which is crazy. I feel bad that they're obviously going through stuff, but on the other hand I can't afford to toss hundreds of dollars out for nothing, and I've been more than patient.
As a small business owner (x 2, plus my wife) I feel for this company. We have had failures and accomplishments in business. We have always made it as right as possible. We have never spent individual investors money we could not refund.
A great example of making things right was what Shannon did with Ambannon Press (SIC?).
He stood up, and made everything right.

Spoiler:
The delayed June boxes were supposed to have shipped starting July 9th - according to an earlier update - with July shipping six days after. It's the middle of August and July has still not shipped. Hell, all of June hasn't even shipped. No mention of the King box.
"I am aiming to get as much as possible done to keep everyone informed unilaterally so no one has to join any fringe conspiracy groups on the internet to find out whats going on." :wtf:
There is no conspiracy needed for this unilateral shit show. 08-15-2018 08:50 AMHeather19Honestly nothing they say makes any sense. It's been over a month where he's been saying June is going to ship soon. And at least a month where July is just about ready to go. 08-15-2018 10:00 AMbecca69They have already started advertising September :doh: 08-15-2018 10:03 AMBr!an 08-16-2018 12:06 PMJimimck 08-16-2018 12:11 PMMerlin1958Actually, believe it or not, but they'tr probably paying off May/June costs with July/August sales, etc, etc. It's not right and I don't condone it, but you would be surprised how many small press publishers operate in a similar fashion albeit to a greater/lesser degree. I'm not defending them just stating likely fact. 08-16-2018 12:17 PMBeverly MarshI just want my $85.00 back at this point. Does anyone here think that it's likely to happen? Because I don't. Ordered in April so way past a CC dispute. 08-16-2018 12:31 PMHeather19I wish I paid through PayPal, looks like people are being refunded that way. They owe me June, July, Aug (because I completely forgot to go cancel :( ) and the King box. I'm going to call my credit card company tomorrow and see what they say? I paid for the King box in April, and the June box in May. I don't understand how they can get away with this? I know there's been some complaints to the better business bureau. What does that do? Is there a way to get our money back that way? They ignored my email asking for a refund. They owe me over $200. I am not a happy camper. 08-16-2018 12:56 PMFather CodyMay Nocturnal Readers BoxFrom what I’ve been reading it’s very unlikely. Unless you kiss his ass which is, well, f that. And I think he’s only doing partial refunds at that. The guy deserves no sympathy anymore as far as I’m concerned. He’s worse than Time Warner. 08-16-2018 01:02 PMBeverly Marsh 08-16-2018 02:11 PMRandall Flagg 08-16-2018 02:30 PMMerlin1958WTF has Time Warner been up to? lol lol 08-17-2018 01:47 AMBrian861 08-17-2018 01:56 AMFather CodyMay Nocturnal Readers Box 08-21-2018 03:30 PMHeather19So has everyone that's waiting for June received a tracking number or box yet? I finally got my tracking number late last night and it says it's in transit, due to arrive tomorrow. Also saw on fb that July is being labeled and set to ship soon.
