Hello everyone! I wanted to pop by and let you know that we have our first B grade drop for Dumpster Darlings happening Today at Noon est! These B grades have small imperfections, so I can't sell them for the full price.
That means these wonky babies are 50% off, and need a home this holiday season! If there were any Darlings you wanted to get, but couldn't during the campaign, now is the time to snag one!
We have a few of each Dumpster Darling design available, but supplies are limited.
Here is a link to the sale. I hope you all can snag the plush you want!
After a very eventful and exciting (Stressful) fulfillment period, all BackerKit orders have been shipped out! I have absolutely loved seeing the photos of your Dumpster Darlings arriving safe and sound.
Once again, thank you all so much for making this campaign a successful one. I couldn't have done it without you. I am working on the next campaign, and it may look familiar to some of you who have been with Alpacasews for a few years. Keep an eye out for announcements and sneak peeks in the upcoming weeks!
International Backers
To ensure that our international backers got their plush quickly and safely, we decided not to use the BackerKit postage system. Instead, we used Pirate ship to send your packages via UPS. You all should have received an email with tracking, not from BackerKit, but from Pirate Ship! Be sure to check your spam folders; all tracking was sent to the email you put on file for backerkit.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to email me at [email protected]
I hope you all have an AMAZING holiday season!

I just wanted to pop by and give you all a quick update: Dumpster Darling Backerkit Preorders will begin to ship tomorrow🎊! We are expecting the shipping process to take until October 24th, so keep an eye out on your emails for tracking information.
I can't wait for you all to receive your plushies, and I hope you enjoy them just as much as I do! If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to email me at [email protected]
I hope you have an amazing week,
Emily
It's time!! They are HERE! Robby, Petunia, Finley, Olivia, Bernard, Edgar, and keychain Bernard are all safely delivered and waiting to ship out to you all!
Now, what are the next steps?
📦 1) It's time to lock addresses! Next Monday, I will be locking shipping addresses, so be sure to check and make sure that it is correct!
🛠 2) Quality checking and tagging the Darlings! Quality is our number one priority here at Alpacasews, so before we ship out anything, we inspect it and apply product tags. This may take up to 3 weeks; it's just me and my helper going through a few thousand plushies!
🎊 3) Once all the plushies are quality checked, we will begin shipping out preorders. I use BackerKit shipping, so you will receive an email with all your tracking information once your items are packed up.
I am so, so excited for these to arrive to you all. Thank you so much for helping me bring these to life.
If you have any questions or concerns, please email me at [email protected]!
I am so happy to let you all know that the Dumpster Darlings are on their way to me, and I am locking pledges! Which means that you have 48 hours to change anything on your order, such as addresses or which plushied you would prefer.
On Thursday, I will be charging cards. I wanted to let everyone know beforehand so you are aware that the shipping (+ any add ons you added) will now be charged to your cards on file.
I am SO excited to send your darlings to you! They will be arriving to me in North Carolina at the end of august-early September. Once they arrive, we carefully quality check and tag each one before shipping them out. You can expect to see tracking information + updates in late September/ early October!
Here's a picture sent to me from my manufacturer of the precious Robby the raccoon getting ready to be packed up!
I hope you all are having such an amazing summer, but be ready for our Dumpster Darling fall!
(Psst! Are you going to New York Comic Con? I will be debuting my dumpster darling booth display there!)
As always, if any questions or concerns, please email me at [email protected]

Happy Week 2 everyone!

I only am listing a small amount of preorder stock, so be sure to order as soon as you can!
USA BACKERS: You will receive a free shipping coupon for alpacasews.com so that you don't have to pay for shipping twice! See the coupon code below in the 'backers only' section!
INTERNATIONAL BACKERS: While I cant offer free shipping for international backers since the shipping costs are so high, I have a 20% off code for you below so that you can at least get a discount! See the coupon below in the 'backers only' section!
NON BACKERS: Were you not able to back the campaign? That's ok! I have all of our dumpster darlings available for preorder on my website, so while you missed out on the campaign, you still have a chance to bring home your own Dumpster Darling!

Still have yet to receive it. I never even got a tracking number or anything. I only noticed they had even been sent out a month ago when the B-grades went on sale. I've sent an email and a message thru Instagram and haven't gotten a reply. I don't like complaining publicly 💔
