Project Update: 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~
Until next time~!
