Updates

Hey guys! Please remember that I am only one person fulfilling this massive project. That being said, I'm hoping to get out the last of the shipments this week/next week! It's been really slow going for the last few weeks because I have to manually weigh and fill out customs information on each individual box, which just takes forever haha. Plus, for the first time in many years of running my business, I have been giving myself grace and letting myself take some days off, which has prolonged the process. For split shipping orders I'm still going through and figuring out who needs what, so those are also still in progress. Thank you all for your patience and support, if you have any questions or concerns, as always send me an email at [email protected] and I'll do my best to get back to you in a timely manner! 

For those of you who have gotten your backpacks, I would LOVE to see how you decorate them!! Please tag me on instagram @itskinotastic :D

Hey guys! So the split shipping thing that I did ended up being good in theory but turned out to be a logistical nightmare for me. I've been manually keeping track of what I've sent out and what I need to send out, but because of that I've accidentally sent out duplicate backpacks. If you receive a duplicate backpack, please please please email me ([email protected]) so I can send you a return shipping label so you can send it back. Additionally, I'm still working on sending out split shipping items and straggler backpacks, so please bear with me! 98% of orders have been sent out, so if you haven't received a tracking number yet it's probably because I have to manually weigh your box but it'll be sent out this week!

Thank you everyone for your amazing support and for your patience as I send out the last of the Conpanions. Don't forget to sign up for the Conpanion Lite coming in January so you can take advantage of early bird deals and freebies, and check out my newly launched project the Twilight Apparel Series!

The plush are finally here!! Thank you everyone for your patience! Once I get all campaign backer's bags out, pre-orders will go out afterwards. I'm gonna try to get the rest out this week and next, I've got about 250 bags left, so we're nearing the end of fulfillment! As I finish up this campaign, I just want to take a moment to thank you guys for your incredible support. Every convention I've been to in the last 2 months or so I've seen Conpanions in the wild wandering the halls of the convention and it's so awesome to see.

Since you guys loved the backpack so much, I wanted to give y'all a sneak peek on my next project for next year's Pintopia, going live in January: The Conpanion Lite edition! It's a crossbody/fanny pack version of the Conpanion, able to hold a 5x7 print in its rigid art print pocket in the back, and a large window for tons of pins (not to mention all of the D rings for charms!!). This sample is not final, but I still wanted to show you guys so you can sign up to be notified when the campaign goes live in January to take advantage of early bird deals and freebies!! CLICK HERE to check it out!

Speaking of early bird deals and freebies, I've got a project launching THIS FRIDAY at noon MST: The Twilight Apparel Series!! It's a 6-piece set of gothic inspired streetwear and accessories. Please check it out if this kind of aesthetic is up your alley! I'm giving out a keycap clicker charm for everyone that pledges for a physical reward tier in the first 48 hours of the campaign! CLICK HERE to check it out!

That's all for now! If you have any questions or concerns, as always email me at [email protected] and I'll do my best!

Hey guys! Alien inserts are here, I'm going to start shipping out packages with alien conpanions and alien inserts soon, I'm hoping Monday. The plush are on their way, they're coming by boat so I have no idea when they're meant to arrive unfortunately. But I will of course let y'all know as soon as they come in so I can start sending out everybody else's packages!! I have two conventions coming up, Nan Desu Kan in Denver and then Rose City Comic Con in Portland, so I won't be able to ship out more packages until I get back on the 14th/15th.

If you've received your conpanion I would LOVE to see how you decorated it!! Post/tag me on instagram @itskinotastic !!!

I had a couple of people e-mail me regarding receiving the wrong colorway, if you happened to receive the wrong colorway PLEASE e-mail me and I'll send you a return label to send it back so I can send you the correct backpack color!!

Thanks as always for your patience and understanding as I work through everything. If you have any questions or concerns you can e-mail me at [email protected] :D

Hey guys, a couple of serious things I need to update you about. We returned home from our con on Monday but just had a death in the family and have also been dealing with the aftermath of a car accident so things have been slow going since getting home. I'm going to try to start grading bags this week, but for those who needed their bags sent out ASAP please remind me with your name and BackerKit email at [email protected] and I'll get your bags out as soon as I can. Thank you everyone for your patience.
