Project Update: Shipping has begun + about the delays
Hey guys! I've begun shipping out bags for those who opted in for split shipping. The enamel pins have been stuck in Memphis customs (why Memphis? I have no idea LOL) for the last week and it's making me super anxious but hopefully they'll be here soon. For anyone who needs their bag by the end of the month for a con like Metrocon, Otakon, Gen con, etc. please email me at [email protected] with your name and your backerkit email address and I'll see what I can do! If you haven't already paid for split shipping but you want your bag asap I'll just send over an invoice via paypal so I can get your bag on its way, and send out your smaller items when they arrive.
I ordered over 900 boxes to be picked up locally at a warehouse but some of the boxes were the wrong size?? And I'm still waiting on larger boxes so I can send out the packages for those who ordered double bags or a conpanion + a coffin bag. The thing about bulk boxes is if the store doesn't have the size in stock they have to order it in, and that can take longer than I'm willing to wait so I am just as antsy as you guys haha.
Sending out the first 80 or so bags for the split shipping orders will take me a couple of days to pack up, and that's making me realize just how large of an undertaking sending out another 800+ backpacks will be. I'm going to try to have my local friends help me pack so it goes by faster, but what I'm most worried about is when the rest of the 169 boxes of Conpanions will get here--ETA is the end of the month, but since I have Metro/Ota from July 30-Aug 3rd, and then immediately after that I have Fan Expo Boston from August 6-10th, I REALLY hope the shipment gets here before I leave. Shipments will mostly likely start when I get back from Boston.
Anyway, I just wanted to let y'all know the state of things! If you have any questions or need anything, like I mentioned earlier please send me an email at [email protected] and I will do my best!! Thank you everyone for your awesome support and for your patience!
