Hey all!

As is the way of things, as soon as I complained about something, it fixed itself: the pins finally arrived yesterday! At first glance, they're looking beautiful!

I've gone through and updated all the weights for them and they were actually a lot lighter than I had estimated, so it's possible the shipping fee you originally saw on your order might have gone down a bit. 🤭

With that finally being taken care of, I'm finally going to charge cards for shipping & add-ons. I am going to start the process of charging cards today after sending this update.

Once I start the process, you will receive a 48-hour warning for your card being charged. This means your card will be charged in 2 days, on April 16th.

Please try to make sure you have the funds available for the charge to go through. If your card fails at this stage, I won't be able to send your pins.

You will still have between now and when I finish shipping orders out to fix your payment, but if you do not fix it by the time I'm done shipping, your original pledge will be considered a donation and will not be refunded.

Meanwhile, I will begin grading pins when I can. I am currently in the process of setting up and advertising my next campaign, which is launching next month on May 12. I'll be doing my best to juggle that with grading pins as fast as I can.

Once I am done grading, I will lock addresses, which is another 48-hour warning from when I start the process. I'm aiming to be done grading by the end of April so I can start shipping in May. I'd love to be done shipping everything out before my next campaign launches May 12, but if not by then, I will try to be done by the end of May.

I will be messaging you with your custom Etsy links after all the pins have been graded and I start shipping. Please continue holding tight, I really appreciate your patience! 💖

That's all for now. The next time you hear from me will be when I'm done grading the pins and I'm ready to lock addresses. Thank you for all your patience!

Cheers,
Rain
