Delivery, Bandwidth, and Future Plans
Any PDF purchases you make from us can be accessed immediately by logging in to your Schlock Mercenary Store account. An email will be sent with a link after the order is completed, but the mail-bot sometimes takes a day or so to come back from whatever passes for “break time.” If you have any trouble accessing your file, email schlockmercenary@gmail.com. We’ll make sure you get your stuff.
Our store’s ISP handles digital delivery nicely, but there is some throttling going on, and bandwidth is not cheap. We’ll be staggering the releases of the later PDFs (Books 7 through 12, as of this writing) to conserve bandwidth.
Some of these Schlock Mercenary collections have been available in the past from Baen Books.
