I told you we'd have stuff set early this week. "Ken, it's Wednesday, we're halfway done." Yeah, tough guy? I work food. I work Tuesday thru Saturday. I just started this slog. It's early for me. Can it.
We're cleared for surveys, so, smoke tests are out.
That means 5% of each backer tier is getting surveys early. Is that you? It might be - it's very likely that your survey went out just before you're getting this update.
Go open that up, and fill your survey out as normal. Pick what pins and stickers you'd like, confirm what addons you're getting, and toss your address in - you can always change these later.
You're not getting early access for free, though. Smoke test backers need to report:
Fully missing items
Missing options (i.e. can't find the German Shepherd pin or sticker)
Major typos or grammar errors that affect how you understand instructions
Incorrect shipping charges
Any other questions or concerns
If you see something that looks sketchy, email me at [email protected]. I'll be tossing $10 campaign credit to people who find survey-screwing problems.
Smoke test backers will do their thing until September 1st. Then, the rest of you readers will get your surveys.
There's a few of you guys who had card flops on that first charge. Is your credit card on file up-to-date? Go give it a look - make sure I can get your dogs to you! You'll be able to fix this either now, or when you get your survey.
We've got a whole new batch of dates for everybody to keep an eye on. Give this a read, I promise there's a picture in this update after this.
Preorders are now open on August 26th.
Surveys will go out to all backers on September 1st.
Surveys will stay open until September 20th.
I want to get numbers to my factory in Mid September. I will probably call it and do some guesswork September 15th-20th.
Backers with failed charges will have until October 30th to fix this. We're not gonna be as nice as we were on CHALLENGE COINS here - this is a smaller, faster-moving campaign, and I want these dogs made and on the run ASAP!
This is the KPH usual - get your DOG CRIMES stickers and pins, at campaign prices, at the same time as the backers. Have a hard time financially last month? Waiting on the final dog selection? No problem. You'll be able to do this until October 30th. Notice something in there? Yup... there's an unwelcome nuisance, staring right into your soul on the left.
The Stalking BORDER COLLIE vote pin is trying to sneak his way into the roster. Gross. He will be made if a total of 25 backers - both campaign, and preorder - snag him.
If you would like your DOG CRIMES order to come with some goodies, it's worth noting that the HUSTLE store will be open soon. You can request combined shipping with your DOG CRIMES pledge and save the cost of sending the one from my shop. I don't recommend grabbing other CRIMES pins there, though - you can add them at campaign prices thru the survey.
I'm hoping to have CHALLENGE COIN CRITTERS' retail stock up at some point in the next 2 weeks. So, keep an eye out for that in an update.
We'll check in when surveys are ready for everyone. Check for a smoke test, and enjoy the rest of your week!
