Update: Last pins have arrived!! Will be shipping them out this week!
Hello!!
I know that I haven't posted any updates and that there are a few people waiting on some remaining pins. They have arrived (looks great ;;). I plan on packing and shipping them out by next week, so please keep an eye out for tracking!
Afterwards, I'll be setting majority of the pledges as fulfilled!
Sadly, the pins are under inspection… I don’t foresee any issues with them because 1. No copyrighted materials and 2. Everything is declared. It just means that it will take longer than anticipated for them to arrive… but once they arrive, I will fulfill the remaining pledges :) I DID NOT FORGET ABOUT YOU GUYS!!
This is also one reason that I rarely design pins of characters from certain series… it is just too much of a risk for my heart to handle.
bubble mailers
All of the bubble mailers!!! Over 200 bubble mailers in that box!
Any stragglers and My Honey and Proud to Bee Me pins will be shipped out at a later date!
Thank you all for your patience! And I’m going to take a couple day break then work on my fresh water critter enamel pin Pintopia project :) please keep an eye out for that!
Update: Finishing up on prepping orders then START Packing!!
Hello everyone,
I've been busy prepping all the pins, so packing would go by faster. There are some good and bad news.
Good news, I am hoping to get almost every order shipped out by the end of this month!
Bad news... I dumbed and have 0 inventory of some older pins that have been ordered. BUT!! I will be restocking them and shipping them separately free of shipping charges because that's my fault. This is mainly for people who pledge for the Spotted Cerberus, Proud to Bee Me, and My Honey.
When I'm not working on packing everyone's pledges, I've been thinking of a list of fresh water critters for my next set. I will also be introducing pin banners to everyone that can be added-on!
All the ita bags, pins, and stickers have arrived!!
Timeline: (based on prior update)
May - Production Start for ita bags and enamel pins
July - Currently in production
Aug- Enamel Pins production completed and shipped to me
Sept - Ita Bags production completed and shipped to me
October/November - Receive all items and start grading and fulfillment
November - Complete fulfilling pledges. Completion estimated to be December if there are no issues.
Grading: Currently all except for one of the enamel pin designs have been graded! I don't foresee any issues with them though, and if there are, I will have enough to fulfill all the pledges. Sadly, I haven't had time to take any pictures of them, but I'll provide another update with pictures for everyone.
For the ita bags, these are taking a lot longer to grade mainly because of the size of them, but they have all arrived and taken over the place haha. Currently, I am anticipating that we will complete grading them by next weekend of the weekend after.
Everyone's address will be locked on October 11th 8 PM PT. Please double check and modify the shipping address prior to that. I will be setting a calendar reminder because I am that forgetful. Fulfillment should be completed by November instead of December, but if there are any changes, I will post another update.
Thank you all for your patience with me!
Edit: I also know that some people have messaged me directly. I do apologise for not addressing them yet. They will be addressed this week!

Hello everyone!
Hope you're all doing well!! I was at Otakon this weekend, so I apologise if I was a little quiet. I will be at San Japan at the end of the month, so please stop by and say hi if you have the chance!!

Actual:Enamel pin and majority of ita bag production is complete and is being shipped to me! Currently, I need to follow-up on the dragon ita bags to ensure that it is being shipped. It is anticipated that the dragon ita bags will arrive towards the end of September.
Sept - Ita Bags production completed and shipped to me
October/November - Receive all items and start grading
November - Start fulfilling pledges. Completion estimated to be December if there are no issues.
The anticipated arrival date for the enamel pins and majority ita bags is the end of August which works out because I have some people lined up to help me grade the ita bags and enamel pins! Hopefully we can start things shipped out by the middle of September! This means that I'll be locking addresses around the September 12th if everything looks good. If there are potential issues, and you would like me to hold off on shipping your package, please reach out to me asap!!

Freebie pin that is automatically unlocked + available to EVERYONE with a physical item being mailed
EU and UK shipping... So, I've had a few people reach out that they would like EU and UK shipping. I am very flattered that people from across the ocean are interested in my creations, however, I won't be offering direct shipping to the EU or UK. I've spoken to some of the other creators, and the only potential option (with some risk) is using a forwarding company. I have not used any of these companies personally, but some of the following companies popped up
Planet Express
Global Shopaholic
My US
Ship7
Shippingclear
If you are not interested in using a forwarding company (completely understandable), I will be posting these on Etsy for the retail price after the campaign is over and fulfilled. I will be honest, I have a pretty bad record of not posting on Etsy because of lack of time. For my UK and EU friends, whenever I do post it on Etsy, please send me a message, so I can provide you a discount code to receive the Backerkit special price with the freebie pin as well. Thank you again for your patience.

Hi! I received my capybara bag today perfectly. However, it is missing the add-on pin I ordered alongside it. Unsure how to resolve this without paying shipping and customs again?
