Pins on their way; Final Addresses lock on the 22nd!
Hi everyone!
I just wanted to let you all know that the final shipment of pins are on their way to me! I've noticed packages are moving a little slower than usual, so it might take a minute for them to reach me. Once they do, I'll be getting the final orders out asap!
I'll be locking addresses on Wednesday, July 22nd. As long as Fedex or UPS don't hold the packages hostage, my goal is to get these out before mid-August.
Pickup Option:
I will be at Anime Iowa, Big Minneapolis Anime, and 2D Con over the next month or so. If you would like to pick up your items at one of these events (provided that the pins show up before Iowa, which they should), please let me know before Wednesday, July 22nd. My email is [email protected]. _________
Reminder: If you have still have an errored payment and/or have yet to complete your survey, please address these ASAP. Once fulfillment is complete, the project will close and you won't be able to receive your items! There will only be one more reminder update once fulfillment is complete with a date to finish these by.
As always, if there are any issues with your items after you receive them, please let me know via email or social media and I'll get back to you asap.
Thank you all so much for your patience! I hope you enjoy your items!
It's been a minute since an update, so I figured I'd pop in!
The final 3 pins are almost complete. As stated before, we had to redo a couple molds, which is why the pond lurker and treasure hunt pin took a little longer to complete. The pond lurker and quacksune pins are complete, and we are just waiting on the treasure hunt pin, which just needs printing and the quicksand attached. Here are the photos I have received:
I will be doing the attachments on the pond lurker pin myself, which is why there is nothing on there currently. We are anticipating having these shipped to me by the end of the month, so I'm hoping to get the rest of your orders shipped out in August sometime.
Also, for the next few weeks, I may be a little slower to respond to emails and comments. I have a few back-to-back cons I will be vending at, so I won't be around much over the weekends. I will do my best to respond to any questions asap though!
I'll pop back in when the pins are officially on their way!
I’m happy to announce that some of the pins have arrived today!
There are 3 pins yet I am still waiting for; the treasure hunt, the pond lurker, and the Quacksune collab pins. The treasure hunt and pond lurker both had to have a slight mold change, and the quacksune samples were sent to me for approval before mass printing was completed. I do have 2 pictures of the progress on those though!
Shipping Schedule:
I will be locking addresses for everyone who didn’t have the final 3 pins on Sunday, May 31st, and then I’ll start getting these out. I generally drop off packages once a week on Tuesdays, but I’ll try to squeeze another weekly shipment in. With plush, the packages are a little larger, so there will probably be smaller bursts of package dropoffs going out weekly.
Just a reminder that if you have any questions or issues with your items, please email me at [email protected] so I can get back to you asap. I try to keep track of the community tab here on backerkit, but we don’t always receive notifications and posts tend to get buried under older ones without us noticing.
Thank you, and I hope you have a fantastic weekend!
Void Plush Have Arrived! Shipping update and pin pics
Happy Friday!
So I had assumed that the plush would have taken longer, but my manufacturer must have only sent me the tracking after the ship got to the states because they all arrived today!
My poor ups driver lol
For everyone who is not expecting any pins, shipping will resume this weekend into the next couple weeks. If there are any questions about your items or regarding shipping in general, please email me at [email protected] and I’ll get back to you asap.
Pin Status:
I did get a few extra photos of the pins! Most of these have not been polished or printed on yet, so they aren’t the final result:
I’ll pop back in when I get more pin updates! Hope your weekend is fantastic!
Production Update: Back from Vacation, Plush Finishing up Production
Hi Everyone!
I hope you all have been well! I just wanted to pop in really quick and let you all know that I’m back from my trip and production has been coming along smoothly.
I did get most of the orders out that were shippable before I left, but there were a small number I wasn’t able to get to. I plan on getting these out within the next week or two.
Pins: Most of the pin molds are complete, so they are working on coloring and mass production currently.
Sorry for the quality, it was part of a video I was sent :)
Plush: The plush are just about ready for shipment! Since I had them working on everything early, these got done fairly quickly. Since they do arrive by ship, it’ll be about a month or so before they arrive at my door. Once they do arrive, I’ll be shipping the rest of orders off to those of you who aren’t waiting on the pins to be completed.
Once the voids show up and I get more pin pics, I’ll post another update.
I apologize for the double ping between this project and the pride one, but I do have an update here as well.
Cards have been charged- There are a handful of cards that have errored. Please check your emails to make sure yours have gone through.
Missing Surveys- I’m still missing about 13 surveys not including Pay over Time backers. If you could double check and get these filled out, that would be amazing!
Fulfillment Status:
If you backed for ONLY a regular plush and/or tote bag, I will be getting these shipped off within the next week or two. The tote bags have arrived as well as the stickers, so I would like to get any pledges done right away if I am able to in order to decrease congestion later on.
I have to double check on the status of the stickerbooks since I was informed they have shipped. If they arrive within this week, they will also get sent off if you ordered them separately or with any items above. If they arrive mid to late next week, they won’t get shipped until after I get back from Japan, which will be after April 14th. :)
As always, if anyone has any questions regarding their orders, please email me at [email protected]. Comments here on backerkit can unfortunately be missed since they get buried. I do try to pop in and check every now and then though.
I’ll update again once pin sample are done. I hope you all have a great day!
