Wow we got here! Thank you so very much for everyone being so patient with this process. You all should have received a tracking number and should be expecting your pins soon~!
With that- this crowdfunding project is offically over <3 I hope to do more projects in the future including a 2nd batch of Oshi Pins so if you are interested be sure to follow my Backerkit account for future projects!✨
Thank You once again, I'll keep it short and sweet. Enjoy your summers and your pins! ✨
We made it out of customs and have arrived to my office studio!! Now I must peel and prep each pins, then I can get started on packaging all your orders~!!✨
Keep an eye out for a tracking number for your pin order across the next few days
Additionally:
My manu ran out of the original green rubber clutch pin backs I had planned to use, so instead I will now be using these puffy lime green ones instead. I like them better anyways much cuter! Sorry for the last minute change up but thankfully it's one that has little affect on the actual pin designs.
So the pins have made it to US customs but are currently being held because the wooden pins have been flagged as "Fish and Wildlife".............a plant........customs has flagged our wooden pins.....as a plant.....
I read up about this issue and while never in my life have I run into it before- technically it is valid and correct under the Lacey Act.
Currently trying to reach out to my manu to get this resolved, will update asap.
Thank you so much for being so patient. I couldn't tell you why, but the manufacturing for the pins took twice as long as it normally does. It could be the time of year- maybe my manu was overrun with order but to be frank I don't know, nor will I ever know. But that doesn't matter too much as THEY PINS ARE ON THEIR WAY TO ME!! Huzzah! They have shipped and once they arrive in my hands I will prep them into their packagings and then ship them on their way to all of you! I'm so excited. This has been a long journey but one I'm happy to have taken. I hope you all are as excited as I am.
Next update should be very soon~! Thank you so much for the support!
Cards have all been charged, orders locked, and the pin designs have been sent off to manu!!!!! WAHOO!✨ Not much else to say right now, I will continue to update as needed! So excited for the pins to all be MADE!!!
