I have returned from Toy Fair safely! It was quite the experience, and only slightly terrifying. 😅
Squishmallow throne!
I am back home now and ready to give a status update on payments!
Failed Payments:
At the time of this update, we have 51 failed payments. This is a staggering amount, significantly more than our projected buffer of 5-8%--This is roughly 15%. I hope backers will do their best to remedy their payment methods within the allotted time frame! If we can resolve at least 40 of those, we should be okay to proceed without any major financial issues!
Pay Over Time Payments:
We have 26 backers who elected for the pay over time and I wanted to give a reminder (backerkit should have notified you of this when you set it up, but just in case I will reiterate it here) to those backers: Until you pay off your balance, your order cannot be counted or shipped. This includes your backerkit survey. When the surveys are issued to backers, you will not receive one unless your full balance has been paid. You are encouraged to pay the balance off as soon as possible to avoid any confusion. Please do not make a second order, as it will create two separate orders and can cause added confusion.
Backerkit Preorder Store:
If you were interested in the campaign but did not make it in time, please visit our backerkit preorder store. Important: If you backed the campaign, do NOT go to the store to add additional items. Please wait until you are issued your backerkit survey as you will be able to add-on extra items then! This is specifically for those who want a chance to preorder the items and missed the campaign deadline.
The store will be open until March 7th. Payment methods will be charged March 15th. This will conclude the preorder window for Porter & Parker & Strawberry Noopy. While I do my best to do a left-overs drop for each production we do, I cannot guarantee any will be available later down the road.
Additional note for Pintopia backers, if you add additional items to your order through the backerkit store (such as the kindness token we have added), you will be charged for those items at the same time as preorder backers. Shipping Fees Will Be Charged Later, around May or June. I will have more information about this closer to that time frame.
The next campaign update will go over our anticipated sample updates and pending revisions. I should have that update coming sometime next week!
