As of yesterday, the remaining orders (for the USA) have been sent out! I was sending them a bit at a time, and I just dropped off the remaining bunch of them yesterday! Sorry for not updating then, I got a bit busy after I dropped them off at the post office!
For the remaining orders, which are all international, I will be sending those out in a bit! I wanted to look more into customs stuff before sending them to make certain I do everything right and they can get to you properly! There WILL be VATS payments for you to make, as I should have just had an Etsy listing for those of you to pre pay those duties instead of this method!
Also for the ones from the EU, I sincerely apologize for being a bit ignorant about the policies to ship into any of those countries, I will do my best to get those packages there, but I do not have the funds to hire a representative so I am trying to find another method I can get it sent without issue. For future campaigns I will NOT be shipping to the EU unless certain circumstances or enough people from the eu are willing to help fund the rep costs.
In other news, my other plush campaign is in progress! As well as my planned future campaigns coming up! Check them out if you'd like!
I've just finished packing up all the orders! I will take the next day or two to tag all of them with labels and start sending them out as I can! Within the next few days i should be dropping them off at the usps blue bins in batches! i hope to get them all out by the end of this week at the latest!
Since I am using a third-party shipping label purchasing site, I will have to manually upload tracking numbers into the backerkit system all at once, so some of you may receive your package before you get notice that your package has shipped (from backerkit's official email :p)
thank you all! <3
for those who have not filled the survey out or those who had failed shipping charges, please make sure to check your pledge and update info! your order will not ship out until everything is complete!
Essentially I'm parroting the update I just made to my bee pins campaign, since all the pins arrived at the same time! XD
The pins arrived so fast I'm very surprised! But they arrived too fast since the shipping packages I ordered won't be here for a few more days ;-;
I will start packing orders as soon as those packages arrive, but for the time being I will be inspecting and grading all the pins!
I anticipate I will start sending out orders as soon as the bees are sent out, for priority reasons (that campaign was first even tho the pins all arrived at the same time!) which should be about a week or two from now! There's not too many orders from the bees so it hopefully won't take too long!
Thank you all so much for supporting and your patience! I'm so excited to get these orders out to you all!
Hey everyone!! My manufacturer just got back to me and all but one pin design have been fully manufactured! The last design should be done very soon, they will be shipped to me soon as well! Sometime around mid to late January is the current estimate to arrive to me! I will pack orders between late January and early to mid February! It is just me packing them, but I will make sure to communicate if any delays may happen! So I can quickly start to purchase shipping labels and pack orders immediately after the pins arrive to me, I will be charging cards soon! A 48 hour notice will be sent shortly! Thank you all so much!
Side note: there are still 9 people who have not filled out their surveys (or payment had failed before survey), if one of them is you please make sure to check your card and fill out the survey!!!
my manufacturer just got back to me with all of the sample images! there was one that needed a slight color change but they were instantly on it and got it done, so all the images are the finished samples!
since all these samples are complete, i am going to start the countdown of one week before i lock orders! to make sure enough of you all see the designs and decide if you want to change your pledge rewards! i have already made the bulk order of all the pins roughly based on the current counts, so dont worry, the pins will be to me around the same time in my timeline estimation!
(this ones a little bit of bad lighting sorry!)
holding them upsidedown lol
lighting is kind of bad on this ones bottom highlights
also! all the bread dog plushies have arrived at my door today! so they and the other merch items are all ready for when the pins arrive to me!
