Hey everyone - just wanted to give an update on how shipping is coming along!

This is our most complex shipping challenge yet - 1100+ orders, 10 colorways, and 2000+ knives to QC, label, and arrange by serial number!

To simplify matters, we decided to do our QC, labeling, and serial assignments in the same way BackerKit arranges shipping labels. That way we wouldn’t have very much time in between the printing and shipping of each label. That’s proving to be a lot more streamlined than our previous procedure of printing all the labels at once.

It also means that once you get the notification that your label has been purchased, you should be able to start tracking it within a day or so.

We estimate that by the end of this week we’ll have shipped out about 20% of our Snarf orders! That should mean we are able to hit pretty close to our goal of delivering everything by mid-September.

We’re still waiting on the accents, Miamiburst, and Mystery Snarfs which I was just told today have been pushed back towards the end of August. But we’ve got plenty to ship in the meantime, so we’ll focus on that while waiting for the others to arrive.

Thanks everyone for your concerns and prayers for Melody. She’s definitely having a rough go at it right now health-wise, but the kids and I are trying to be there for her and encourage her. She’s one tough cookie so I know she’ll get past this, but I do hate to see her unable to do so many of the things she enjoys (which strangely includes QC and shipping!🤣)

Anywho, thank you all so much for your support and patience as we wrap up Snarf! You’re the best!

-Michael
