And that was Dupuis and Dargaud's Nufiem store debacle.

So when I use the term debacle, I hope I'm using it in the proper format.

Let's see.

Debacle is defined as a complete failure, sudden disastrous collapse, fiasco, or overwhelming defeat.

Yep, I feel like

that all applies to my experience.

I'll give you the brief.

I break it down.

I try not to provide too much opinion when I write something like this because I just want to state the facts.

If I don't want to color, I want to present my experience as cleanly as possible.

So the Nifkem store is the retail arm of Dupuis, Dargaud, a bunch of other places, Champaka, Kana, Lombard, Niffel.

a bunch of Franco-Belgian publishers.

So when you go to their website, as an example, Dupuis and Dargo, that's why I listed those.

You add something to your cart, you go to purchase that, and that redirects you to the Nuffiem store.

And that's who handles this kind of shipping.

I had, um, previously ordered some things from receive them.

Just no, no issues really.

So a new book had come up from it to see on black and white.

Um, they wanted like 65 euros shipping.

I thought, Oh my goodness, that's a lot of money.

I don't really want to spend that much.

So I checked new VM store here and they had 25 euros.

That's normally what it is for, for any format book to get shipped to me in Canada from France was pretty good.

So I ordered the book.

It was, uh, supposed to be released, uh, November, sorry, May 31st.
