here is the current status of order shipping! a huge batch just got prepared to ship today! some of the orders in "start shipping" category also include the pink shark wyrms so the percentage of orders i can ship vs shipped is higher! so i am about halfway through shipping these shippable orders!! (this also does not include the orders having to be delayed due to the missing pins)
also in that image, shows the number of incomplete surveys and failed card charges! please make sure to check your pledge to make sure you completed your survey fully or update your card info! its not actually as many failed card or incomplete surveys as i thought there would be!
thank you so much for all your patience!
some more minor bad news: so due to the oil crisis happening, shipping costs have more or less skyrocketed, for some reasons only particular orders have had a massive unexpected shipping fee, while others are unaffected by the price raises??? UPS is just in general $7-$10 more expensive then they used to be. some orders for ONE plush are charging me upwards of $48 💀im a bit worried haha, so far it was only a few orders costing this much so i am fine eating that cost, but i may have to raise shipping fees for the future, at least until the oil crisis comes down from the current panic..
Heya! Just keeping you all updated! I all orders possible have been packed up and are being tagged with labels in batches! I am about 1/5 or slightly more of the way through backerkit orders and done with all Etsy and my website preorders!
A bit of bad news though...
I am not sure what happened between moving my bulk from being delivered to my front door and into my storage unit, but half of the acrylic pins went missing..? I have yet to find where they went, I moved units and it is definitely not in storage, it's not still in my house because I already cleaned thru everything on my quest to hopefully find them..
I did order extra pins so it's not as many orders missing pins as I thought there would be.. but that still means some orders are missing pins.. which means I will have to reorder another batch of them, which will take even longer..
I will be reaching out directly to the people who are affected by this delay, I will be offering a "ship all but the missing item now and ship the pin later when it come in" or just a "wait and have everything shipped together" option! Don't worry i will offer free shipping for that missing pin!
all the wyrmies have arrived! 15 boxes of weighted wyrms were a lot to handle and transport ;-; i did end up ordering the shark wyrm along with the other colors out of my own pocket anyways so they are also complete and arrived! (pay over time should all have been completed by now anyways!)
the pink shark wyrms are still waiting until the elemental wings surveys get sent out to be ordered, so those of you who have the pink shark plush added to your survey, yours will have to wait longer to get shipped! if you backed elemental wings and have a pink shark on this survey, you can opt to have the rest of your order from this campaign sent and have the pink shark sent with your elemental wings order! (comment below)
i have already started packing up a few orders, but the full swing of packing will start next week! (i will be out of town between the 16th-21st, so some orders may have to wait until after i get back home)
All merch items arrived (I was not able to take pics for a few days with all the convention business these last two weekends!) pins, blankets and stickers are all here and ready for when the plushies arrive!! There are no longer any blankets available for purchase, as they sold out for orders on Etsy and through the backerkit surveys!
The plushies just arrived in Los Angeles on the 26th, and should be arriving to me in a few days 👀 orders should be able to be packed up so very soon! Hopefully starting in the first week in June!
I will be on a personal trip between June 16-21st so I will have to pause packing between those times if the orders aren't all packed up before that time!
Pink shark wyrms will be delayed past this estimated timeline for the rest of the colors, as they will be ordered around the same time as the elemental wings order!
That all being said, addresses are being locked in 48 hours!
Also, if you are still making the last payment on your pay over time pledge, do not worry, surveys will be sent right after the pledge is fully paid off. For those who still have failed payments and unfinished surveys- PLEASE UPDATE AND FINISH THOSE!! if you end up ordering the blankets that are now out of stock, they will be restocked in about a month, so it will just delay the shipping of your order but you will still be able to get the items!
my manu said that the production should be completed and shipped out very soon!! estimated delivery time within the end of this month! for the stickers and merch, i have not heard an update about those, but it should also be done and here roughly at the same time judging by my last orders timeline!
that being said, i will be charging cards in 48 hours! you should get a notification email about it soon! i want to make sure if there are any failed payments, there will be time before they arrive to update any failed payments!
for etsy orders, it is cutting it close to the shipping deadline i am required to send them out, so i hope they will get here just before that deadline (┬┬﹏┬┬) next time i will be giving longer time allowance for shipping times..
also! pink shark sample is completed! production for those will be started with the elemental wings plushies, so those of you who ordered them will have your orders shipped out around the time my elemental wings orders start getting sent out!
