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!
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
I’m extremely worried. If I knew where they were from, I would have called for a wellness check months ago. I don’t care about the pins at this point. I just want them to be ok. Has anyone heard any news about their safety?
I've been managing a lot these past several months, and while I know communication is everything, the exhaustion has been real. I've had to pour myself fully into my main source of income to keep things afloat... the mundane world waits for no one, not even this little infernal project that I love so dearly.
On top of that, my kitten has been in and out of the ER for the past two months. It has been emotionally and physically draining in ways I didn't quite anticipate. He's my little soul kitty, and watching him struggle has taken more out of me than I expected. He's doing well-ish and could still use prayers and a candle lit in the name of good health and healing.
No excuse though. I own the silence, and I'm back.
The boxes are stocked. Those of you who haven't yet received your items will be getting a shipping notification in your email either today or tomorrow. Please keep an eye out for your tracking information!
Thank you all for your patience and your grace. You are the blessed angels of this endeavor, and this work exists because of you.
