Hi folks!

The fun bit first: I got a couple of photos from my manu of the pins they've finished making and they're looking good! :D
Here's the Equicervus, Hippocamp, and Sleipnir:

I think the pearl swirl is gonna look great irl! 👀

Now the not-so-fun-bit: US Tariffs. 🥲

I'm really sorry folks but in my research I've not come up with a way to get around the tariff fees. The good news is that I now know exactly how much it's going to be: 10% of the order value.
(There is a handling fee of £0.50 per parcel as well and I'm going to cover that part myself.)

- Unfortunately I can't currently afford to cover 10% of all the US orders myself so I've been in touch with Backerkit and they've arranged it so that I will charge that 10% through the Backerkit campaign. I'm really sorry that I have to do this! 🙁

- I have set the card-charge date for the 3rd of November so that you all have a bit of an advance warning, and you can check your pledge to see how much the charge is for your personal order.

- Please do message me if you have any questions!

- Future campaigns: In future I will be including the tariff charges for each order at the survey stage to be charged at the same time as Shipping costs, and I will make it clear in the campaign story how much the charge is going to be so that nobody is caught by surprise.

I hope you can understand why I've had to do this and will stick with me in the future! 🙏
Pin prices in Backerkit campaigns will remain lower than in my Etsy shop, where I've had to add a premium to US orders for now to cover all the fees.

Pin production is running somewhat behind schedule but I'm hoping I'll still be able to ship in early November.

All the best,

Abi
