Project Update: Update: Shipping Lockdown (Final Notices Sent!)
Hey everyone! This is just a very short update that I sent out a courtesy lockdown notice through the system, which should have included the address your package is going to! If there is an issue with the address, please email (or update it within the system). If you have changed states, you will need to email it in.
Jess will be stopping by next week and helping me start actual fulfilment; we are looking at starting to drop packages off from March 1 to March 5, then I'll be out for a convention week, then I'll solo finish everything when I return (I'll attempt to update when we've gotten a bit into it to update how things are looking - I'm unsure yet of how fast it'll be).
I still have a fair bit to grade between here and there, but we've hit the point where major sections can be released since most of the most-terrible-awful pins from the nightmare manufacturer have now been logged and just the remakes remain (which, hypothetically, will be less painful). I did one emergency reorder of a pin that was a tiny bit short last month (which was in the remake squad - I just didn't order enough with the adjusted pins because I assumed we'd have SOME standards from the original set... but I was wrong, we were about 2 for 400 pins as standard), so I'm hoping that makes it to me soon; this shouldn't hamper the beginning of fulfilment. I'll update on that when I know a bit more in the next update with fulfilment notes.
Final reminders:

Final reminders:
- If you wanted a high-seconds swap (instead of standards), please do so here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScXh6g--SyqJm7A5G3G8R4fyRrDyzJMSiLteCdNAUDNtKrPOw/viewform
(These pin sendouts will happen first in one wave BEFORE the others, due to how segmenting works)
- We've had a fair few questions of residuals - for standard copies, we won't be releasing them until all fulfilment is complete - we're probably looking at April sometime. There will be a joint drop on Alchemy's shop to cover the outstanding overage caused by remakes, so if you're looking to save from shipping that will be up for a limited time for ALL makers in one place. But again, it won't be before fulfilment finishes, however long that takes.
If you're interested in seconds copies, you can email in a request and I can see if I can help ([email protected]). We already have these for cons to cover remakes, so custom invoicing is available (just, again, not standards). We will also list up the extras of these lads with the standards later on. All bajillion of them.
- Addresses automatically lock tomorrow at around 10PM.
In other news... I did change up the "big" backing cards a tiny bit, but I did enjoy the final result. (I started this over a few too many times before settling with this design, even though it's simple.) There are these big cards (one per guild), and then smaller cards as needed with the generalized campaign logo on the back for single pins. These, below, are the backs of these group cards.
