Quick update for really four of you, I have finally been able to afford the extra shipping costs to the remaining international backers for this campaign. I believe there might be a couple of straggling packages waiting to be delivered but other than that, the remainder will mark this project complete!
I apologize for the delay, but with the increased rates for International orders I was unable to finish shipping all of them out. Most were costing me an average of $5-10 on top of the initial estimate. Which really adds up when you're talking 10-20 International orders. There have been a few set backs in my personal life that I will not go into but I assure you they needed to take precedent for a short time.
The remaining 4 backers will be receiving a couple extra goodies as a thank you for their patience and those orders will ship out this week. Labels have already been purchased, I work a full time job in addition to conventions and a couple grown children, so I am giving myself a fair but reasonable window to send these out and provide that expectation.
Again, I thank you all for your patience and hope you have a great rest of the year!
I apologize for the lack of updates. I received the cupcake filler pins in late in September. The shirts and tote bags finally arrived earlier this month. There are still a couple folks that didn't respond to what color tote they would like, they will receive the tan colored option if I do not receive choices from those few.
I have slowly been getting folks their items and I apologize for all of the delays. International shipping has been incredibly expensive due to new regulations put out by the current administration. Most of the remaining orders to be filled are international. The main reason I haven't been getting these orders filled, been bad about returning DMs(I was able to finally fix Instagram to allow requests) and simply trying to keep my self together for conventions that I have been previously committed to, is earlier this month my dad was been diagnosed with a fairly aggressive form of inoperable liver cancer and I'm trying to process that, along with preparing to help him and my step mom while he is going through treatment. You all have been so understanding with the shipment delays and please believe that each and every backer will receive the items they paid for in good faith! I've been scammed by a few conventions in the past, I know that sort of shit does happen and these days it seems like it happens more frequently. All I can give you is my word that I'm being truthful and am just a little slow to respond during this time. But I am working through the orders, slowly but surely. Thank you again, Christa D
There was a delay in the CaitVi Cupcake mini pin and the shirts, so folks that have those in their orders might not receive them for a couple more weeks and I am so sorry about that!
It has been brought to my attention by a backer that the 2.5" Pin Add on is not showing me the selection from the two options available. And a couple folks may have received the wrong pin.
I have sent individual emails to those that I have not yet filled to get their selections. Please let me know if you had wanted the Pit Fighter Vi or the Jayvik Chibi In All Timelines 2.5" pin.
If you did receive the wrong pin, please reach out and we can work out how to get your correct pin to you and the other back to me.
I have closed the pre-order shop and will be moving everything over to Etsy since we're about done here and that issue isn't something I can clean up on the back end without messing up everyone else's orders for that pin.
They're finally here and they're turned out better than I could have hoped!
I'll be spending the next week or so counting and grading them to make sure y'all get the best ones! Thanks to everyone for your patience and excitement for this project!
We're having some color issues with a couple of the pins but MOST of them are in the final process of being completed!
I am actually surprised, we are having issues with Viktor's skin tone on the collar pins and the astral look on the In All Timelines pin.
Pending the next round I'm really hoping they'll be shipped to me in the next week or so. Then I can start grading them and start shipping after Denver Fan Expo in July! I'd LOVE to be able to have them for backers to pick up at that show if they're going. I'll keep you all posted as I know more on our timeline. ~Christa D
