Project Update: US Important Shipping Update: Switch in Delivery Company & Partial Shipping Refunds!
Hi everyone!! π€
First of all I would like to say that everything has been going smoothly with all domestic and EU/UK and rest of the world orders, I'm hoping to ship these all out next week, so you should be getting your tracking numbers by then.
As for the ALL USA orders, there is some good news for you guys!
We tested the UPS shipping with a first small (5) batch of orders and all of them were held/returned except for one.
I know it doesnβt sound like good news but while dealing with UPS directly and trying to figure out ways to handle the situation, we tried to find a cheaper, tariff fee and more immediate shipping solution for the US:
This means that we will now be sending all remaining USA orders via our national post office (CTT) and you guys will receive a refund accordingly.
USA correspondence via CTT was re-established 2 months ago but with new rules (after tariffs) that we had yet to figure them out and test, until very recently when Alex from the Water Pals project used it to ship products from another project, and everything worked smoothly. What does it means?
- The process is way easier, less complicated;
- The tariffs are paid by the sender (me) so you just have to receive your pledges at your door
- The most important part: itβs cheaper! Around 20β¬-30β¬ with tariffs already paid for a medium size package (5-6 pins.)
So after some deliberation we decided to switch our plan and send the remaining batches via CTT.
To the one person whose package is already on the way, I will email you directly since we donβt think itβs fair for you to be the only one without a partial refund.
To everyone else from the US, you can expect a partial refund of your shipping cost. Partial refunds will be processed as packages are shipped by me, please take note this could take some time, as there are a lot of packages to get through.
You can expect a refund of between 5β¬ to 20β¬ depending on the size of your parcel.
I hope this wasnβt too confusing. We are still learning how to deal with the tariff situation and it took Portugal National Postal Service longer when compared to other EU countries to finally provide a more affordable and hassle-free way of shipping to the US again.
