Distribution Guidelines

1] I have decided to allow anime fans to acquire copies from me through a distribution service. I want you to realize that this is a service, not a business. I am asking you to be considerate of me, because I am medical student, meaning that I really don't have much free time. I make the copies while I study, but around test time, copying pretty much ceases.

2] When you send in your request, please provide the following information:

a] Full name
b] E-Mail address
c] Titles requested - Only 3 tapes can be requested. Tapes are copied at the same speed as mine. Only one EP tape per request. Mixing and matching is allowed, within reason, for titles that do not fill an entire tape.
d] Request method - SASE (you buy the tapes and mail them to me unopened in a bubble mailer with return postage). Reimbursement method is no longer available until further notice.
e] Tape brand - Let me know what tape brand you are sending. Acceptable brands are: Maxell HiFi or SVHS, TDK HiFi or SVHS, Fuji HiFi or SVHS, and PTS (which uses Fuji).

4] Once I receive your request, I will check it and send you a message letting you know if it is approved or if it needs to be revised and resubmitted. If approved, you will receive my mailing address in the message.

5] Once I receive your SASE, you enter the recording queue. The time in the queue varies on how many requests are already in the queue, how many of those have EP tapes, how much time I have to make copies, etc. PLEASE do not send me any messages asking "When are my tapes going to be copied?" or "Have you sent my tapes yet?", unless it has been over 4 weeks since the date I have received your request. This date and others will be listed on the Distribution Status page, that will be updated often.

6] Once the tapes are copied, they will be packaged at sent the next time I make a trip to the Post Office (usually twice a week). I will e-mail you on the day that I mail your tapes.

7] I am asking that you wait at least 4 weeks from the day you receive your tapes before making another request. This is to allow me to distribute to a greater number of fans. Please be considerate of your fellow fans and patient with me.

8] Donations are appreciated but neither expected nor required.
