UPDATE: Tariff fees and product pics
Hello all, I hope you've been well. Today I'm here to update you with both some good news and some bad news.
Lets get the bad news out of the way first...
I had initially planned to charge cards on August 15th, and that has not happened as of yet. The reason for this is the changing tariff costs & the effect it has had on me and my business.
To be completely transparent, I have done what I can to avoid charging tariffs to anyone, giving a buffer to myself financially to help front the costs of tariffs for US orders. However, because of the recent changes and because I am in Canada, my previous pin campaign will be putting me at -2k due to the tariff charges.
I unfortunately can not cover tariffs any longer moving forward and will need to add the tariff charge to any orders in the US.
It really, REALLY pains me to do this. And I have spent the last couple days pacing and stressed over the situation.
I wish I didn't have to do this. I wish there was another way. Please know I am doing what I can to keep them as low as possible.
For those in the US: The tariff charges are currently added to the survey amount, and you can see the change reflected in your balance. However, this amount may not be the final. You will get a notification about the change once the amount is finalized and near the time cards are charged.
I have currently pushed back the charge for another week, but if that changes, I will absolutely update. You will, of course, also get the 48-hour update notice when cards are going to be charged.
I am truly sorry. I hope you all can understand why this has to be done.
Now for the good news...
I've received some new progress pics! And even though it's still early in the process, I am really loving how all of them look so far! Here's a few of them!
The pins are also moving ahead of schedule currently, which is great! If all goes well, there's a chance the pins will be here a bit early! Yay!
That's all for now!
Again, I wish I had better news about the tariffs, and I am truly sorry. But I thank all of you for your understanding~
Surveys: Smoke tests are now live! If you are sent a smoke test survey, it's very important that you fill out as soon as possible and report any issues you encounter. As soon as the smoke tests are complete, the rest of the surveys can be sent out to everyone!
Pre-Order Store: The pre order store is now also officially live! You can access it by going to the main page of this campaign!~
If you backed this campaign, do not order from the pre order store or you will be charged for shipping twice.
Sample Pin: Last but not least, we got the sample of the kitsune pin back from my manufacturer, and I'm so happy with the result! I hope you love it as much as I do!~
There was an issue with the first test sample, where the body came out grey instead of white! This happened because of the gradient effect on the tail. We have since fixed this issue and everything should be smooth from here!
So happy with how the new sample came out compared to the old (and very relieved!)
As always, feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you all again for your love and support, and I look forward to getting these pins to you!
Hello all~ We did it!! The campaign has been funded, and we are onto the next phase!
In the last moment, we were able to reach the final stretch goal as well, which means the Tulikettu was unlocked! Tulikettu will be included in the "all pins", "all small pins", and "dreaming big" pledges, and can also be selected in the survey!~
⭐First off, a HUGE Thank you! ⭐ I was really nervous going into this campaign, its the first campaign I've done that isn't during Pintopia, and I wasn't sure what to expect. But the amount of love and support shown, as always, has humbled me. I'm so greatful to each and every one of you for loving my designs enough to back them, and I can't wait to get the pins to you! ⭐ So what comes next??? ⭐ Charges have already begun, but if you haven't, you should see a charge soon from Backerkit for your pledge.
In the meantime, I am working on setting up the survey, which I'm aiming to have released in 1-2 weeks time. I will post an update once its ready to go. Through the survey you will be able to choose which pins you would like, add on any additional items you weren't able to during the campaign, and set up payments for shipping!
⭐ Failed Payments ⭐ There are a large handful of failed payments. If your payment has failed, please ensure to check your information. Sometimes, banks can stop payments to Backerkit when you have pledged to more than one campaign because they are processing so many payments quickly. Backerkit gives 14 days after the campaign has ended to fix payments.
If you are unable to fix it before then, you will have another opportunity to fix it during the survey portion of the campaign.
⭐ Pre-Order Store ⭐ If you missed pledging during the campaign, the pre-order will be opened soon. I will make an announcement when it is!~
Note that if you have pledged to the campaign, do not place an order in the preorder store! Everything in the store will be available to you in the survey.
If you pledged during the campaign and also order through the preorder store, you will be charged for shipping twice.
Once again, thank you! From the bottom of my heart!~
The poll has ended and the new Main Pin will be the Bake-Kujira, which has already been unlocked!
The other pin I designed is a small pin, the Tulikettu!
Please note both the designs are still works in progress! I am going to try to have the finalized designs uploaded by the weekend~
Bake-Kujira and Tulikettu
The Tulikettu is yet to be unlocked! Can we make it happen!?
Note that the Bake-Kujira & Tulikettu will be added to the "all pins" pledge tiers without an extra charge!
I have one last stretch goal if we reach Tulikettu - which will be a freebie for all. A little over a week left!
I have a small, but exciting update for you today! It took a long time to get everything sorted, but...
I am officially able to open up sales to the EU!
I have been wanting to do this update for a while, but it hasn't been possible until now. All pledge levels should now be open to you if you are in the EU.
Shipping to the EU will be $18+ USD This is, of course, subject to change depending on the current situation with shipping.
As with other international shipments, I will not be responsible for returned packages or additional charges outside of my control. So please keep this in mind while ordering!
There will be a handful of items during the survey and preorder store that may still be unavailable to the EU as I am still compiling the necessary documents for some items. But the pins from this campaign, acrylic charms, stickers, and some things from previous campaigns will be available.
I may not continue shipping to the EU indefinitely, so if you were hoping to get some pins from me, this would be the best opportunity to do so.
Thank you, as always, for all your love and support. It's because of all of you that I could work towards opening up to the EU!
Until next time! (Expect a pin design update soon!)
