Hey everyone! Doodle here, less than 3 days to go for Pintopia and Brids of Australia! A little more info has been found on the shipping and tariff thing!
There is only 3 days left to make your pledge! Backerlit will also remind you 48 hours before, but we may be able to get the Orange Bellied Parrot stretch goal before the end!
All Australian based backers for FleaCircus and I Doodle Random Things will be shipped to me in one large shipment (significantly cheaper compared to shipping to everyone individually) for me to fulfil! In-country shipping on top of the larger shipment in one go to Australia will be a lot cheaper, once surveys come out and we collect address details, we can offer a better estimate on shipping -
A little on the pre order shop coming soon!
Some community ideas put into pins! I'm really hoping we hit 5k by the end of the campaign so the mega chonky orange bellied parrot will be available! However, I had seen some stunning ideas from some members of the community and made some little treats in the pre-order shop for after the campaign!
Wompoo Fruit (Pi)Dove col variant goal + Shiny Pidove!
If 50 people successfully pre-order this AND/OR the shiny variant of Pidove on the pre-order shop within the pre-order store period we successfully produce these colour variants to buy! I might dull the red a little on the draft of the wompoo but I think it looks pretty close to what I would want! You can purchase both, or just one! There's a little discount for buying both ;)
Mega Chonky Orange Bellied Parrot! This will only be available if we don't meet the stretch goal! But I really hope we make it, if 40 people purchase this chonky boi (based on current stretch goal progress), it will become available!
Stickers:
A bunch of stickers will be available in the pre-order shop!
More information regarding pre-orders will open soon after, it's been such a journey with everyone and I hope we can keep celebrating the silly nature of brids together!
Maths on my end, boring stuff, Important GUESSES All US based backers, Brids of Australia will be shipped in one large shipment for FleaCircus to fulfil! The (very approximate) calculations I found were that excluding duties, it would cost $60 USD to ship everyone's parcels altogether, with approximately 10 - 30% in duties depending on the total value of the parcel.
Australia to US via Doodle (in USD) For the sake of estimates, it may be $175.69 to ship to the US assuming a majority of backers are US based (Copied from FleaCircus) US shipment via FleaCircus A 4oz package sent to the complete opposite side of the country is $5.89. then up to 8oz is $6.24. up to 12oz is $6.60, then up to 15.99 oz is $7.78
very close to FleaCircus is 4oz $4.88, 8oz $5.30, 12oz $5.71, and 15.99o is $6.15 TLDR: If 50 backers are US based: and average a shipment via FleaCircus for $7 each ~$11 USD total per US backer! These are estimates and can only be used as a guesstimate!!! Canada Shipment via FleaCircus If Doodle directly ships to the US, it would cost approximately $60 USD per backer! So this is a much cheaper option! With duties paid (so that includes the $9.95 required to ship into canada, they shouldn't need to pay more on receipt)~ up to 2oz is $21.60 4oz is $22.60 6oz is $23.60 TLDR, if 50 backers are Canada based, and the average shipment via Fleacircus is $21.6 2 oz ~$25 USD total per Canadian backer! THESE ARE ESTIMATES! But this is approximately what to expect! If Doodle Directly ships to CA, it would cost approximately $55 USD per backer!
US to Australia via FleaCircus (USD) Approx $60 USD to ship a large package to Australia via FleaCircus Aus Shipment via Doodle
Approx $8 USD per package to ship within Australia TLDR: If 50 backers are AUS based, it would cost $9.14 USD to ship within Australia! (OR $13 - $15 AUD)
Local Pickup will also be an option for Sydney backers to save on shipping!
Okay thank you for putting up with the boring maths stuff, I hope we can see an uptick of pledges before the end, and get the chonky baby available as a pin!
