On Shipping Capability…
Posted by Zia Dione on 7.10.25
It is our ultimate goal to offer full-service self-publishing services to our community, including shipping of physical copies of books and zines. We admittedly made a momentary compromise of our values in that we’d briefly decided to use Google API services to make the shipping goal a reality. But. And. Less than 24 hours after making the decision, a UN report shared that Alphabet, Google’s parent company, is one of the main funders of genocide of the Palestinian people – and we cannot. Until we are able to add functionality that is in alignment with our values and does not diminish our solidarity with our oppressed family, physical shipping is on hold. If you are or know someone who can help us utilize USPS API to make this happen, reach out. info@trunkofmycar.org

Happy to update that we found a solution that doesn't compromise our values! A detailed explanation of how shipping works for physical books and zines can be found in our Creator Roadmap.
