We are currently at 88% of surveys completed - y'all got on that really quickly, which is awesome. The survey period will close on the 29th, but if we can get to 90% before then, we'll be close enough to done that I'll be able to start placing orders & the excess we order should cover any stragglers.
Sticker-only backer orders will start shipping before those with pins, simply because sticker production has a much faster turnaround than pins. So if you backed just for stickers, we'll try to start shipping those within the next few weeks. (I've gotta order some of the designs we added during the campaign yet, but our sticker folx are fast.)
For those of you who have shopped over at our main store, you know that since 2017 we have outsourced our t-shirt production because we didn't have the ability to make our tees in our own shop. Well... no more! We have acquired a direct-to-film printer and so not only are our shirts produced in-house, but the technique and quality are upgraded, too, to one which is much more vibrant and durable. And on top of that, because we're not paying someone else to make them, we can bring down the price!
Protect Trans Kids, now & always
Formerly $29.99, our crewneck tees are now $19.99 every day & we're taking an additional 25% off of that new base price through March 22nd. No code required! Go check out the new shirts and get you one - the better the crewnecks do, the sooner I can buy stock of tank tops, crop tops, sweatshirts and so much more, bringing those in-house, too! If there's a classic NK design missing, shoot us an email and we'll post it up for you. :]
I just put our surveys in for final review by BackerKit, so I hope to be able to send out the smoke test within a couple of days.
A few notes:
We still have about $525 in failed charges. Please check your email, update your cards, and get yourself ready to rock for the surveys. :) I can't chase people so we will mark pledges as cancelled once the surveys go out if your pledge is not paid at that point.
Because of how add-ons work, those of you who added on the Proud to the Bone add-on pin and Single Sticker items during the campaign will see a credit on your pledge amount for those items. Please select those in the add-on stage. This allows us to add in the Glow-In-the-Dark Human Skull, which only comes in one flag (Progress) and to allow a wider selection of stickers as single-sticker add-ons, including those from prior Kickstarters!
The pre-order store is also open now, so if you missed this campaign and still want to get in on the snark, it's ready and waiting!
We currently have about $1300 in failed and uncharted (incorrect card information) pledges. I have been the person who forgot to update my card, so I totally get it, but:
Please make sure to update your cards or move funds around as necessary ASAP, because that is... an unsustainable amount of failed pledges, about 14% of the campaign goal, and covering multiple stretch goals.
We do not have the ability or the manpower to chase folx whose pledges don't charge and we did make clear we would be canceling those pledges if they are not paid by the time the project pays out to us, about 2w after project close.
On a happier note, my plan is to get surveys out to y'all next week, if possible. The faster surveys are out and answered, the faster I can order pins, and the faster you get pins! :)
We've seen such a surge in the last 10 hours that I felt like I wanted to reward that. I've adjusted the 4A/10A pin goal down to $9500, so as of now we've unlocked those as add-ons, and the "free 4A/10A pins for 3+ pin backers" is now at $10K, so less than $500 away!
Let's bring this home. :)
Quick update: the add-ons are live now, including a full set of the mini pins, which includes all 3 metal variants of both pins at a price that's equal to getting one pin free! :]
