Project Update: UPDATED TIMELINE | Address Lock Delayed

Hello friends,

As you might imagine, our original timeline had international packages starting to ship as soon as in one week. I also said I was going to lock addresses by now, almost a month ago. But as some of you might have noticed, I have done no such thing.

We've been waiting to see when the oracle dice items would be finished, and they have let us know as of a week ago or so that we will not have all dice items finished and ready to ship to our fulfillment team until the end of May. The reason given for the delays (they originally said it would take 45 days for manufacturing to happen, and we supposedly started in March!) is that the dice engraving is taking a longer time than they imagined. So we don't have molds it seems, they are just engraving the dice individually. If they had told me it would take longer, or that they were doing it at all, I would have advised making molds instead, especially since I plan to remanufacture again someday. But, as you might be able to imagine, engraving thousands and thousands of dice is taking some time. 

On the left was the previous sample. Look how much THICKER it is compared to the new ones to the right of it! We shaved off a full inch of depth to it.
The 10 glow in the dark dice in normal lighting.
The black dice after being hit with a black light and on their own in the dark.
All 10 glow in the dark dice together in the dark after being hit with a black light. Note that the above photo was taken in the same moment, just with the brighter dice removed. So weird how they glow differently!

That said, I did get the final round of samples and things are looking fantastic! The dice are great, the guides are great, the oracle decks are good-- I'm very happy with what we're getting into your hands. I was also surprised to get the neoprene mats in-- they look awesome. I'm waiting on the reading journals to arrive end of day tomorrow it sounds like, but otherwise all the items are in production. 

The Updated Timeline

First off, the dice manufacturer never got me a proper timeline. Our timeline 2 updates ago was based on my knowledge that they were supposed to have started early March, and that our production timeline was 45 days at maximum. So mid-April we'd have it all done, shipped over to our fulfillment team, and begin shipping right away as able, matching the timeline I'd suggested two updates back.

So, new timeline based on them telling us items will be ready end of May:

I am going to LOCK ADDRESSES on the 20th of May. The goal is to make sure our shipping numbers and addresses are correct, and so we can begin shipping ASAP as items are received at the fulfillment center.

June 10th - June 30th, we'll see International (non-North American) shipping starting to go out.

July 20-30th, we'll see the container with the North American orders arrive to the USA. Orders for the USA will go out asap when the container arrives.

August 15th, all orders should have been shipped out and, hopefully, in-hand already.

This plants the oracle dice shipping timeline as clearly being later than the tarot decks, which I am trying to get up to date info on right now so I can share in updates on those projects soon. This will likely delay the Goblin's Tarot project, but I'll play it by ear.

We also could see this push sooner, and I'll let you all know by update here if it does! I'm anxious to get these out there, but soon! Soon!!

Project Update: REMINDER: Addresses Lock the 27th!

Hello folks,

We are rapidly approaching the day I lock people's addresses, March 27th, so I can get shipping charges onto your orders and we can get moving on with getting these items in your hands in June!

In this project, there are still 51 folks who haven't filled out a survey at all.
A reminder that you need to fill out your survey, have a shipping address, and then pay your shipping charges before you'll get any items from this project. 

So check your spam folder and your email to see if you got a reminder to fill out the survey just now, as I just pinged those final 51 once more.

Otherwise, sit back, relax, and we'll get shipping figured out soon!

Was lucky enough to have bumped into Seven at GAMA, who gleefully poured the new dice into my hands to gaze upon and enjoy. Absolutely lovely. We're all going to be very happy very soon.

Project Update: Orders Combined, Addresses Locking, Timeline Ahead!

Hello friends!

As of today, I have finished merging people's orders backwards, so anyone who backed both this project and the one from May on Backerkit who requested it in their survey, your orders are now merged into one project.

What this looks like: your order on the other project was marked as Fulfilled, and the items from it have been added to your order on THIS project.  If you're curious, you can go take a look for yourself to make sure things made it over okay. 

I am going to LOCK ADDRESSES on the 27th of March. The goal is to make sure our shipping numbers and addresses are correct. 

As of now, we are aiming to have our production finished by mid April, with items to our fulfillment team in China and then picked-and-packed by the end of April for your orders. 

April 30th - May 10th, we'll see International (non-North American) shipping starting to go out.
May 25-30th, we'll see the container with the North American orders arrive to the USA. 
June 10th, all orders should have been shipped out and, hopefully, in-hand already.
That's it! Chinese New Year breaks end shortly, so we'll see items in production soon, and then it's a fulfillment time where things happen, packages are packed, labels are placed, and then items go places!
Now, I will say these are the dates as given to me by the fulfillment team. The manufacturer doing the dice items may note that the manufacturing could take a little longer, but June to the start of July is still a great timeline estimate.
So that's that, otherwise you'll just be looking for my updates about the shipping charges being added to your orders near the end of March, and I'll be harrassing people who haven't gotten their surveys in. You can always just go on backerkit.com and check your surveys there if you're not sure if it's in yet!
So talk again in March when shipping charges are coming up!

Project Update: The 1000 Goblin Pin, and our Dice Chests!

Hello folks,

Nothing big to report, but I did want to come in and share the "7 Was Wrong Pin" design final form! It is officially named the 1000 Goblin Pin!


It will be 2.5" wide, and while it was offered here cheaper, it will retail for $15. This is the 'commemorative' pin I put up in our final moments when we reached 1000 backers, proving me wrong about that! 

Also, look at the dice chests! Just kind of fun to see them in process. They are just about done, and I've paid manufacturing with the manu, but we won't start until March since we have to work around the Chinese New Year here in Feb.

More info in March when we have some clearer timeline info!
