Welcome to the last week of August! ALL SHIPMENTS ARE COMPLETE.
That's right, every single one of ya'lls order has been packed and sent out within the longest 7 days of my life. I was packing anywhere between 20-30 packages a day and then throwing them at my local postal worker who, by day 5, was sick of seeing me.
He was very happy to hear that the packages today were the last ones. What a workout!
Now I am not deaf, I hear you guys yelling from the rooftops,
What the hell is happening with De Minimis and import fees and stuff?
I've contacted my postal service last week but havent't heard anything back. They're being silent about this and the EU is fighting back the vague explanation of tariffs from the USA's side. Today is the 25th, the supposed cut off day. Will things arrive before the 29th? I couldn't tell you. This new policy came into effect over night with zero explanation, zero time to prepare, zero infrastructure, just prayers that the law will bend into submission. I'm sure some of you who follow me on Bluesky have seen some of my rambles on the situation.
TLDR; I've no idea what's happening. I don't want to tell you all something and then have it end up being incorrect. But we should all have our fingers crossed everything arrives fine and dandy.
The fees for Ireland should be 15%. If you do get import fees, it would be calculated as such: ITEM COST + SHIPPING COST x 15% = IMPORT FEE
I did my best to minimise import fees if you do get hit with them as well.
That said, the majority of orders Do Not Have Tracking. If your order page and email doesn't direct you to a tracking page, you do not have tracking. I can't magic tracking out of thin air. Most things were sent using a digital stamp, and all I will know is if it arrived to the airplane postal depot. The good news is that some of the mail I sent out last week that IS tracked has already arrived at the US border, and is more than likely being processed by customs. That is quite a fast turnaround compared to the usual time it takes. So when will your mail arrive if you're in the US? Soon, I would hope. And without too much delay. But because of the current sporadic situation I ask you to give your mail 2 months to arrive in case your customs offices are absolutely swamped with mail. Usually mail takes about 3 weeks to arrive, but if something gets caught by customs- which is common enough- it can take longer to be released. Especially now. If I get any returns, I will contact you through email immediately.
TO THE PEOPLE I CONTACTED ABOUT MY POSTAL SERVICE DENYING YOUR SHIPPING ADDRESS... I have kept all the failed mail until the end so I could cross reference what issue was between all of them. And in the end it was the stupid glitch I've ever seen in my life. The post site hates the abbreviation of Oregon. I don't know why. I don't know how. I fixed the issue by typing out the entire state name. Your mail went through just fine now.
IF YOU HAVE ANY ISSUES.... I think Backerkit added a way to message creators now, I will see if that is something that's enabled. If you can't find the option to do that, you can email me with any quieries, questions and problems to [email protected]
If you're in the EU, UK, or anywhere else in the world: you're fine. You've nothing to worry about. EU orders are starting to show up in people's hands already.
When you do get your orders, please feel free to tag me on instagram or bluesky so I know your items are safe and sound with you!
Now enough with the sadness and worrying...
THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN TO EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU WHO SUPPORTED ME ON MY FIRST CROWDFUNDER.
I cannot express enough how much love and appreciation I have for all you backers, friends, and fellow creators who supported me through every step of the way. From sharing the project, giving design advice, participating in polls, to helping with the backend so everything goes as smoothly as possibly. Truly, thank you. Thank you all so much <3
This is hopefully not the first and not the last project I ever do. I'm already planning a new campaign for Pintopia in January of 2026, with a perhaps smaller scope to this one, and I will update you all here once that project launches.
Thank you all again <3
Find my on social media if you'd like! Or in person at Irish conventions <3
Hi everyone! After some thinking and taking in suggestions, I drafted up some ideas for an Intestines angel pin. I would plan to make this a stretch goal at $4000! Here are some design ideas, please vote for which one you'd like! And of course, if you had any design feedback, feel free to drop it in the comments.
I do not plan on making any more pins after this, but I would love to make some nice 3 inch holographic stickers of the current designs. Are people interested in this?
Thank you everyone who has backed the campaign so far!! We have 10 days left, so please be sure to share this around!
Another 33 orders are packed and ready to go!These are international orders, and they’ll be dropped off at the post office tomorrow and Wednesday.Be sure to check your e-mail inboxes for your tracking number!
A small handful of orders still need to wait for the remaining Star Seeker pins to arrive. I’m so sorry to those unlucky few! Your packages are otherwise ready to go, and I’ll get them moving as soon as those final pins are in hand.
With these 33 packages heading out, we are very close to completing fulfillment for The Infinite & The Infernal. It’s been a long road, but we’re finally nearing the end...
Thank you so much for your patience and for sticking with me through this campaign. And a special thank you to those who have left a comment expressing that you've received your pins! This has helped ease the minds of the weary.
Roughly half of the remaining international orders have now shipped! These were the orders that did not include stickers or the Star Seeker pin. Check your emails for tracking!
For those of you waiting on orders with stickers, I’m hoping to have those shipped by Friday, or Monday at the latest! Once those are out the door, we’ll basically be wrapped up aside from the unlucky few still waiting on Star Seeker.
The replacement Star Seeker order was placed about a week ago, and I’ve asked my manufacturer to rush it as much as possible while still maintaining quality. They understandably don’t want to compromise the pins, but they’ve said they’ll do their best to move things along quickly.
I have officially shipped over 300 USA orders! YAY!
Unfortunately, I’ve hit a bit of a roadblock.
Iran out of Star Seeker pins! I’m currently working with my manufacturer to figure out why so many were missing from my original order, and I’ve already put in a rush order to get the replacements made as quickly as possible.
Because of this, there are about 6 remaining U.S. orders containing Star Seeker that will unfortunately have to wait about one more month before I can ship them. Shortest time would be two weeks if everything goes swimmingly...
Those of you outside of the U.S. who ordered Star Seeker will also be affected by this delay.
Star Seeker
I am so sorry. I genuinely wasn’t expecting to hit a wall like this so late in fulfillment, especially after finally getting so many orders packed and out the door. I know many of you have already been incredibly patient with me, and having another unexpected delay pop up is hecking frustrating.
Quick solution? If you don't want to wait, I have an over abundance of Cinderborns, Angellic and Fallen Lucifers that I'd be more than happy to exchange the Star Seeker for. I will be emailing the remaining 6 USA orders for their input, and request you reach out to my support(at)dungeondamsel.com email if you are non-USA based so I can get you shipped ASAP.
Cinderborn
Lucifer Angellic
Lucifer Fallen
Otherwise, hang tight! What's another two weeks to a month...? Hah... ( I joke while being completely overwhelmed with anxiety )
Thank you so much for continuing to hang in there with me, or at least putting up with the delays. I appreciate your patience more than I can say.
I know shipping has been moving more slowly than any of us would like, and I truly appreciate everyone who has been hanging in there with me. Real life threw some unexpected obstacles my way and slowed the packing process down considerably, but I want to reassure you that orders ARE still going out, slowly but surely, and everyone WILL receive their items.
I am currently a one-person packing and shipping team, and I’m doing my absolute best to work through everything as quickly and carefully as I can. I know there are some understandably impatient and frustrated folks waiting, and I hear you.
Another batch is shipping tomorrow, and I’ll continue chipping away at the remaining orders as I’m able.
Please hang in there with me a little longer. Your rewards are coming, and I deeply appreciate your patience while I work my way through this mountain of packages.
At the moment I’m assuming I’m just not getting my pins, it’s been over a year and I’m out 100 bucks. 😔
Your new campaigns are cute but I’m no longer willing to support anything you do in the future due to broken promises, and that’s just me being honest unfortunately. I don’t wanna have to harass someone to fulfill my order, I’m really disappointed. 😕
Hey everyone! Just popping in with a quick update because you deserve to know what's going on.
Things have been moving slower than I'd like, and I want to be transparent with you... my main business has had me traveling far more than anticipated, which has made balancing everything a real challenge. Labels are being printed, orders are going out, and your pins are absolutely on their way. It's just taken a little longer to get there than I originally planned.
I'm printing up the remaining US labels by Saturday and making sure all international shipping codes are verified and ready to go. I may be slow, but I WILL deliver. You WILL be getting your pins, that is a promise I'm keeping.
Looking ahead, I'm seriously considering bringing on a fulfillment partner for my next two projects so that turnarounds are faster and smoother for everyone. Growth is exciting, but I want it to work for you, not against you.
Thank you so much for being the kind of community that sticks with me. Your support genuinely means the world, and I can't wait for your pins to land in your hands. Bunni
