Aaaaand we're LIVE! SWARM zine & merch back stock is now on sale at our BigCartel shop. We have very limited quantities of some items, but we do have at least a few of every merch item for sale! There are only 150 copies of the SWARM zine left–grab yours before they sell out!

We know our accounts were a little slow to respond during our hiatus, but we're back in business now. If you have questions about your order or issues, let us know. Please note that some shipping fees have increased slightly due to an overall increase in USPS shipping costs.

Hello!

I ordered my copy of the zine (I am so pumped to get it!), but it hasn't shown up yet to my house. Do you have a way to track it to see if it has been shipped?

Hey there!

Sorry for the delay! If you haven't already, we recommend reaching out to us via email with your order number so we can check on its status. Our email is [email protected], or you can fill out our BigCartel contact form, which redirects to our email.

Hi!

So I had gotten an email on the 2nd that my order was shipped that week but I haven’t gotten anything. I know your printer broke and I wasn’t sure if the email was off by the date it was delivered or if my package went missing.

I didn’t know how else to contact you to figure it out. I’m truly sorry if sounds like I’m impatient or complaining. I just lost my chance the first time to get the zine and I know you have limited supply so I’m just worried if I’m going to be unable to get my own copy if it’s gone missing.

Hey there!

We would need your order number to check on its status. The best way to contact us about it would be via email ([email protected]) or our BigCartel contact form (which does redirect to our email).

Once we have that information, we can give you an update on your order!

[mcrswarmzine]

Good news! We found a box with twenty zines that we've added to the shop.

The bad news is that our label printer went to the great office supply store in the sky. We're waiting for our new one to arrive, and then we'll be getting orders out asap.

If you haven't scooped a zine or merch yet, now may be your last chance! Our lowest stock items are:

‼️ 1 bandana ◽ 2 patches ◽ 5 pennants

If you've already ordered and want to add something on, let us know and we can do that without an extra shipping charge.

Stay safe and stay sharp out there.

Hi! I was wondering when the backstock sale orders would be shipped? Is it like the original run and they'll be shipped in November? I can't wait to get my hands on it <33

Hi! They will start going out this next week; our mod in charge of shipping was called out of state for work but they're flying back in tonight so shipping will start then. Can't wait to get everything in your hands!

Boy, does it feel good to make this post. That's right, folks! Before My Chemical Romance take the stage at When We Were Young Fest two weeks from now, we're opening up our backstock sales so you can relive every delicious moment of the SWARM tour in vivid detail. Or, if it's your thing, you can buy some cool merch. Up to you.

More information & FAQs will be available at launch; previews of items and prices are up now on our BigCartel shop.

On a more personal note: we truly, deeply appreciate everyone's patience here; after planning (and having) a wedding, weathering a hurricane, and goodness knows what else–your trusty mod team is finally ready to get the remaining items from our original launch into your hands. We know it was a long wait for this launch, but getting the timing right helps us ensure we're all in, which means a quick turnaround between the time you order and the time your item ships.

Here's the good news: we have backstock of EVERY item from our original launch, though some are in short supply. So set your alarms, use your summoning circles, and get ready to snag the SWARM items you've had your eye on since last year! All profits after taxes will still go to our amazing charity, Black & Pink.

If you've cleared the confetti away from your Revenge 20 parties, collected some cash from your summer job as a pool boy (is the vampire mansion still hiring?) and want to kick back and relive the SWARM era...good news! The time is almost upon us.

We've regrouped after our distribution period, which was generally a success but came with some lessons learned. If you were one of the people waiting on a lost package or wrangling customs fees: we see you, and we're so grateful you stuck it out!

Backstock orders will launch soon, with a few changes. We'll be shipping to fewer countries (while keeping our list open to as many as possible), and are distributing items from a new location! We can't wait to get SWARM into even more hands and finish off this wonderful project with a bang. Every item has some backstock availability, so keep your eyes peeled!

just wanted to let y’all know that the swarm backpack held up beautifully during the torrential downpour at hershey park yesterday, great purchase very satisfied 👍

Omg that's awesome to hear!! We were really impressed with how they turned out. So glad they hold up well to the elements!

[mcrswarmzine]

just curious, how would zine submissions work?

Hey there! The zine is actually complete at this time & has already printed and been sold! Feel free to grab a digital copy if you'd like to read it.

[mcrswarmzine]

I bought bundle number 5 and when it arrived it didn't have any of the posters... I thought that they'd be included or am I confused???

Ooh that should certainly have been included! Shoot us an email at [email protected] and we'll get you some posters in the mail right away, anon!

[mcrswarmzine]

Are leftover sales still planned? I bought a bundle, but my patch fell off my jacket and vanished... I'd really like to replace it :-(

Yes, leftover sales are still planned! We're sorry to hear about your patch :( The backing on these are not iron-on, so they are designed to be sewn on if anyone else is planning on putting their patch on a jacket!

[mcrswarmzine]

is there anything to do if we receive something that's lightly damaged? my stickers came with marks & one of the mini posters has a folded corner, if not that's totally fine!!

Hey there! Shoot us an email at [email protected] and we’ll get you taken care of.

[mcrswarmzine]

hey just wanted to ask about how long does it take to ship the zine to europe cause i’m starting to worry it got lost in the mail or sth

Hey there! It depends on your bundle—we are still packing and shipping some items as we have just one mod working this part of the project. We’re happy to help track orders though! So far all of bundles 1 & 2 have shipped but some are still in transit. To keep shipping prices low we went with the cheapest (and sadly therefore the slowest) option. Shoot us an email at [email protected] with your order number and we’ll take a look!

[mcrswarmzine]

i ordered bundle four, so i know mine hasnt shipped out yet, but tbh im going to be so sad when it does ;-; i love getting the little email updates from yall im going to miss it

Omg this is actually so sweet....

[mcrswarmzine]

Hello! I have a problem, I only got the mail that you guys are sending the packages but never got one that it is sent and I want to ask did you finish sending the packages or no cause I'm getting a tad bit worried on where it is :( If yes where can I contact you regarding my package? Thanks

Hey there! We are still indeed shipping and packaging things; our mod in charge of this phase is working hard to get everything out but it’s a formidable task! We also have to send things out in batches as USPS only will pick up a certain number of packages at a time. We really appreciate everyone’s patience as we get things out; rest assured that there are no big issues, just things taking time.

[mcrswarmzine]

Will you be restocking?

We don't have plans to restock just yet, but will be putting extra items up on the site once we fulfill existing orders.
