Project Update: Production Update - Final Pins FINALLY EN ROUTE!
Short Version of Update:
After this project is $1000~ over budget due to production issues and tariffs the last three designs are finally en route to me for January delivery. Address changes for the remaining packages will close January 9 as to give you all time post-holidays to start looking at emails again. I am grateful for everyone's patience and I hope you love these pins as these are the last enamel pins I am making for the foreseeable future.
If you are tired of waiting and want a refund - just reach out. You have until January 9th for address locking to request one.

Long Version of Update:
Hello everyone, it's been awhile since we last touch based but this year has been a difficult one.
I am not asking for pity, I am most disappointed in myself because it was my choice to run this campaign, set it's budget, and proceed even with tariffs.
While my manufacturer did offer duties pre-paid, it did increase the cost of the pins much more for me than I was expecting. Cost of shipping also rose higher than expected for international shipments. The tariff rates going up and down this year did not help as the rates fluctuated on what was paid.
While my original plan was to have everything shipped by end of Summer, life had other plans. I had car issues & house issues. When your roof is leaking and your only transportation to make a living have issues you have to redirect focus.
These are all just excuses to you, I know you don't care you just want your pins. But with this project already being over budget at that point, and things happening in my life I didn't want to make a summer update of "I have no idea when the next part of production will happen" to just disappoint you further so I just kept pushing to make it happen no matter what. I was determined to finish the project.
So I just started re-saving up. I had a string of good luck in the Fall and was able to put them in production but there was a lot of back and forth on printing errors but they're FINALLY ON THE WAY and the pins are en route for a January delivery.
Address changes for the remaining packages will close January 9 as to give you all time post-holidays to start looking at emails again.

Lastly, I am exceptionally grateful for everyone's patience.
I hope you love these pins as these are the last enamel pins I am making for the foreseeable future.
I am done making pins unfortunately.
