Hey hey everyone and happy halloween!
We‘ve been climbing slowly but surely, buuuut given how close the end of the campaign is and the fact that some of you are still hoping for the last few mushrooms, I‘ve decided to just unlock them! All purchasable mini pins are unlocked!
This should give you some security that the mini pins you want are all available without having to constantly monitor the campaign. (And I get to sleep better too lol)
I put 10.6k as the threshold in the graphic but honestly unless we have a mass cancellation, they stay unlocked even if we dip below.

Please note that the freebie pin (the cat) may or may not be unlocked at all. The conditions for that one remain the same. If we don‘t unlock it as a freebie, I will see if there‘s enough interest in it post-campaign to make it anyways and make it a purchasable add-on as well. If the 11.5k tier is unlocked, it will also be purchasable by everyone.

I hope that makes a few choices easier for you all.
Again, even if we don‘t unlock everything, I‘m already more than happy with how this project went and I could never make pins regularly if it wasn‘t for you all!

Also just for shit and giggles let me know what your favourite mini pins is from the newly added stretch goals :D

Best wishes and have a wonderful, sweet, spooky and cozy halloween!

Hey all!
Phew what a ride it was - most of you should have received your pins by now, I've seen all your Instagram tags and comments <3
Just today I shipped out all the replacement pins for those who had something missing or wrong in their orders. as well as the late payment crowd.

And with that I want to announce that this project closes on May 15th.

This means that you can no longer fill out your survey, update your card etc. and all partial payments will be considered donation. No refunds since your survey answers, add-on purchases and overall contributions were calculated into my total order and affected my total cost. The only exception is if you reach out to me by e-mail (or have already reached out before).

If you fix everything by the date, I will ship it out - if you don't, that's on you since fulfillment has already completed long time ago, and I have to make a cut somewhere. I hope you understand!

That being said, I'm hopefully making a proper announcement on my next Pin Quest campaign soon. It'll be about four nightshade plants, all very poisonous and very witchy. :D It's gonna be a bit more serious in vibes than most of my other campaigns but I still hope a few of you will like it!

Hello everyone!
Not a project update per se, but a PSA on the status of some of the US shipments.

Some of your shipments are going through John F Kennedy Intl, where they have been stuck, some of them for almost a month now. USPS has not received those parcels yet, because they first get processed by customs before getting handed to the last mile carrier, so your USPS tracking numbers aren't working yet (but tracking via Transglobal Express like described in the previous update will work)

I'm in touch with Transglobal Express about this already, and they told me that their bundled shipments are being held there at the airport. I think (am not sure) it's because of some problems at that particular airport with TSA/Customs enforcement due to partial shutdown (?).
Be assured that if your parcel was lost or is stuck for an unreasonable amount of time, I will re-send it no questions asked. 
This is unfortunately outside of everyone's control right now.

Unrelated to this:
I will retry all failed payments a couple more times, and send out everything that gets fixed in batches. 
If you have reached out to me about your payment before, don't worry - for everyone else, it will be the last chance to claim rewards, as the project will close someday and after that, no more fulfillment will be done, no matter the partial payments, as stated in the Disclaimer. 
If you are experiencing problems with payments, you can also reach out to me for an alternate payment method.

That's it for now!
For everyone else, I hope your pins have arrived safely or will arrive soon and that you're happy with them!

Hey all!
Another super quick update - I have now packed each and every single order. With some of you there are some address issues but I have reached out in those cases, and will be holding your parcels until I hear back from you. 

I will probably send out tracking notifications later this week  (still haven't updated all BK status and tracking numbers for most). Most of your parcels won't track until in a few days anyways due to going to a 3rd party hub first which can take a bit so I'm not too much in a hurry to do so since it won't tell you anything useful yet :'D. For most EU/Australian/Canadian orders, expect tracking to work either from tonight or tomorrow. 

Please refer to this update on how to track, what to do if your tracking number isn't moving for an extended period of time, or if there's anything wrong with the parcel:

And that's it for today! 
I hope you are all looking forward to your pins and will do little happy dances when they arrive. This was a super big project for my standards, and I did my best to deliver the best outcome for everyone! 
Thank you everyone for your support, especially also to those who have supported me for years by now (wow!), those who always comment and interact on updates, those who wrote nice comments in the survey (I read them all) and generally all who have been lovely throughout the whole campaign in whichever way they preferred. You're all appreciated!

(My back is hurting so bad from all the packing tho hahaha)
