Hey guys! Thank you everyone for commenting on my last update and letting me know that you're OK with helping me with the cost of shipping the conpanions to you sooner. I have added an add-on in the survey for $8 that tells me you're opting in to have your Conpanion shipped ASAP and your smaller items (plush) sent at a later date when they're finished.

If you have already completed your survey, it's very easy to edit your completed survey by selecting the shipping add-on.
1. Locate your unique survey link from your original BackerKit confirmation email, or log in directly to your BackerKit Account.
2. If you are on a computer, click the Edit your order button at the top of the page. If you are on a mobile device, tap the drop-down menu in the top right corner and select view confirmation.
3. Make the necessary changes to your survey questions, add-ons, or shipping address. The split shipping option is all the way at the bottom. 
4. Click Next and make sure to click Place My Order or Submit Address to finalize your changes. 

As for bringing stock to my shows, after consulting with my pintopia peers they helped me come to a decision that I will be bringing very limited stock to Metrocon and Otakon after the initial shipment of conpanions is sent out to you. For those who opted for split shipping, you will get your smaller items (most likely plush since those are delayed) when they arrive to me. For those who would rather wait, your backpacks will most likely be sent out sometime in August once the plush arrive to me. 

If you guys have any questions, please let me know! Thank you for your support and thank you for helping me out with shipping costs!
