Hi everyone, I hope you are staying cool and well hydrated in the summer heat ~! ☀️

First of all, I want to apologize to all of you for the longer than expected wait for a new update regarding the progress of the campaign. After the last post, communication with the manufacturer has unexpectedly become very difficult (to the point where Bunny and I didn't receive any answer for weeks despite multiple communication attempts or ended up receiving contradicting information about the current state of production/shipping), which not only left us deeply worried, but unfortunately also made it impossible to give any definitive update to all of you out there. None of this was forseeable for us, since all prior projects realized through this manufacturer went smoothly and without any complications. At the same time, as of right now, we are still left with no explanation for why this happened.

Thankfully though, I can confirm that the pins have finally arrived last week! 🎉🥹🎉
 

With quality assurance and labeling already finalized since then, I will move forward with shipping, starting this week 🎉

Additionally, to make up for the inconvenience, I spent the time of uncertainty looking for other manufacturing options and arranged a batch of mini pins for you to receive as a bonus with your order! ✨
 

I hope this small gift will bring you joy and turn the time spent waiting into a more positive experience!💗

Sadly, one last crucial information must be shared:
While quality checking all of the campaign-relevant enamel pin batches, I noticed a production error with the Coffeeshark pins. While other batches have only been mildly affected with faulty variants that can easily be sorted out without consequences for your shipment, the entire Coffeeshark pin batch needs to be redone by the manufacturer. The factory has already been contacted about this matter, so the reworking phase should begin shortly. Of course, I will not let you wait any longer to receive any of the other products, so I will move forward shipping everything out to you, except for the Coffeeshark pins. As soon as the new batch has arrived, I will ship those out separately, with any additional shipping cost covered by me!

And, as you probably have guessed, I am already in the process of coming up with a waiting time bonus for those affected by this as well 💗

Once again, I am very sorry for the unexpected inconvenience. I wish this update could have arrived earlier and with less obstacles included, but I am giving it all to make the best of this situation for you!

With that being said, I will get back to it and start packing up your orders in the upcoming days! Once everything is on it's way, I will post another update here~!

From the bottom of my heart, thank you very much for your support and patience!💖
 
Until then,
take care and Mehshark, grr grr~!!! 🦈💕
