Project Update: 🌟 Shipment progress update 🌟
We're thrilled to announce that approximately 90% of the shippable packages (the ones that don't include stickers or charms) have been all SENT OUT! Woohoo! - ̗̀૮₍⍝• ɷ • ⍝₎ა ̖́-🎉 You should have received a shipment e-mail confirmation 💌
We've been working tirelessly after all the slowdowns, to ensure your Delicows bbs reach their new homes as quickly as possible ૮₍ ˶•̀ ヮ •́ ˶ ₎ა و ̑̑🎁✈️
We're aiming to have the remaining 10% of shippable packages sent out within the next week. We're still working diligently to fulfill all orders and get those cuddly companions on their way to you ૮₍ ˵´ ɷ `˵ ₎ა❀°。
ɪᴍᴘᴏʀᴛᴀɴᴛ ɴᴏᴛᴇ: Now, when your Delicows plushies arrive, they might need a little extra TLC (tender loving care). You see, during transportation, they might have gotten a bit squished and could have changed their moo-rvelous og shape. Also magnets inside the plushies could have moved around during transit, so they might need some manual adjustment and rotatation as well, to ensure they're in the right position. But don't worry! They're resilient little cuties, and with a bit of gentle "plush pampering" (patting and squeezing them here and there), they'll be back in perfect shape in no time ૮₍„ > ɷ <„₎ა💕
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but we know that our little ones might not be treated delicately by couriers during their travel 🥲 That's why they need an extra dose of love when they arrive ♡
All the other missing items will arrive soon and we'll finally be able to pack and ship all the other rewards containing stickers, washi tapes and charms as well! ૮꒰ ˶Ծ ヮ Ծ ˶꒱ა و ̑̑
In the meantime, we wish you all a fantastic Summer and incredible vacations for those of you heading out ૮₍❀^ ɷ ^❀₎ა🏖️ May your days be filled with sunshine, laughter, and endless joy ૮₍ っ˵ಢ ɷ ಢ˵ ₎აっ♡
Stay Delicowsome!

Project Update: Plushies Shipping is about to start! Charging cards soon ̖́-
Guess what? The long-awaited moment has finally arrived! Our plushies have made it to us after a super-duper long production process and an equally epic train journey! ૮₍ ❀^ ɷ ^❀ ₎ა
Now, we're all set to ship out all the rewards that include Plushies, Mini Plushies, and Mini Pins ૮₍ ˶•̀ ヮ •́ ˶ ₎ა و ̑̑ So, we wanted to give you a heads up that we'll be charging your cards for the shipping and any outstanding amounts (for those who have them) starting from tomorrow, since we're just around the corner from dispatchment! ૮₍ 。♥ ɷ ♥。₎ა°。
We're bursting with excitement and can't wait for you to get your hands on our adorable plushies! ૮₍✿◠ ɷ ◠ ₎ა
Now, we have a tiny hiccup to share. Unfortunately, we're experiencing still a slight delay with the production of the vinyl stickers, acrylic charms, and washi tapes. So, those of you expecting these goodies will have to wait just a little bit longer... we're extremely sorry for that 😥 But hey, good things come to those who wait, right? ૮₍ 。✧ ω ✧。₎ა♡
Thank you all so much for your incredible patience! We truly appreciate each and every one of you for standing by us throughout this journey. Stay tuned for more updates, and get ready to snuggle up with your plushies very soon! ٩૮₍ ˶ ◕ ɷ ◕ ˶ ₎ა۶
P.S. If you have any questions or need assistance, don't hesitate to reach out to [email protected]. We're here to make this experience as awesome as possible for you! ૮₍ っ^▿^₎ა۶🌟⭐️
Lots of plushie love,

Project Update: Moo-rvelous news! Production completed 🐮🎉
Together with our manu we've been working tirelessly to bring these plushies to life as we wanted and with the highest quality possible. And we couldn't have done it without all of your support and moosive contributions! ૮₍ ˵´ ɷ `˵ ₎ა❀°。We're so grateful 🐄❤️
We know you're all eager to get your hooves on your plushies, and we can't blame you! It'll take approximately 45 working days for them to arrive to us by train, but trust us when we say it'll be worth the wait! ૮₍❀^ ɷ ^❀₎ა We'll be sure to keep you updated along the way as soon as we get news (the tracking will start update only when the packages reach our Country. Hoping for the best during this long journey ૮ฅ „´> ᆺ < „ა")
In the meantime, our lovely manu sent us a lot of production photos, and we couldn't resist sharing them with you! Take a look at these a-moo-sing shots and get ready to squeal with delight! ૮₍ „>/ヮ//<„₎ა ̖́-
Keep an eye out for any eventual further update, and get ready to snuggle up with your very own Delicows plushie soon! 🐮💕
Oh and for those who adopted also Miele -the Honey Bear 🍯🐻 in the Pre-order Store, good news too! Its production is completed as well and it's coming together with the moo-moos! Yay!!! ʕっ „´ ꒳ `„ʔっ✧˖° ♡

Project Update: Production update ̖́-
We are excited to announce that bulk production of our plushies has finally started and is going strong! We apologize for the delay in the production process, but we wanted to ensure the highest quality standards were met before moving forward ૮₍ ˵◕´ ヮ `◕˵ ₎ა ✧˖°
Despite having already all the samples approved, we have had to re-make them several times to guarantee the achievement of the best possible results in the end! ૮₍ ˵• ヮ •˵ ₎ა ̖́- We have also tested different magnets to ensure a better attachment of the accessories, which has resulted in a delay in the production process ૮₍„ > ɷ <„₎ა Moreover, each plushie has its own set of unique accessories which has made the production process slower than anticipated, but we believe it will be worth it in the end ૮₍๑•̀ ヮ •́๑₎აو ̑̑✨
We are pleased to say that we are now in the final stages of production and are expecting to receive the first batch of plushies soon. So excited! We will be posting more updates and photos of the plushies right after we receive them from our manu ʕ˵ ● ꒳ ● ˵ ʔ
Thank you all for your patience and support throughout this process 💝 Can't wait for you to see more wip productions photos as soon as we get them!
Until the next update!
Wish you a super lovely day in the meantime,

Project Update: All Surveys are out now!
You'll also find a little surprise, our first baby bear plushie in exclusive preview: Miele the Honey Bear plush ̖́- He needs help to be unlocked and created! When reaching 38 adopters, he'll be put into production right away and you'll be the first ones to get him, before anyone else with a lovely discount!
He's available both in your survey as add-on ̖́-
Or, if you didn't pledge the campaign, you can find him in the Pre-order Store here ̖́-
❗Please always bear 🐻 in mind that the charge will happen only when we get closer to the actual dispatchment of the goodies, and not right after your purchase. This applies to either any eventual extra add-ons, pledge upgrades and pre-orders! When your reward selections will be locked and your cards charged, you will still be able to update your shipping address (in case of moving or other similar necessities), up until we lock addresses right before we start shipping.
Please note: naturally, if the charge of your card in Backerkit will result in errored/failed payment, you'll not receive the added items (but only your eventual original pledge item).
If you can't find your survey, please check your spam folder! Or contact us if you've used your apple id as your backer e-mail, cause in that case the address needs to be changed with another one for you to receive your survey~
•If you need to ask a generic question, please contact us at [email protected]
✦PRE-ORDERS
☆We remember you that our Backerkit Pre-order Store is open! ૮₍ ˵◕ ɷ ◕˵ ₎ა And that pre-orders will be available only for a limited time, until Feb 26th. This way, everyone who missed the campaign (or had their pledge dropped, but still want to get the items) will still be able to get the Delicows goodies with the same discounts!
>If you are a succesful backer, please don't use the Pre-order Store now, wait for your survey first.
*Again, please note that your cards will not be charged right away, if you place an order in the pre-order store on backerkit! They will be charged only near to the moment of the items' shipment. Naturally, you'll get notified well in advance about when they're about to be charged~
Wish you a super nice start of the week,
Project Update: Smoke Test is out! And Pre-orders are open ̖́-

Project Update: Surveys are coming! [ꜱᴍᴏᴋᴇ ᴛᴇꜱᴛ]
It’s important to respond to your survey as quickly as you can since we need this information to fulfill your rewards. Also, the sooner you'll fill it out, the sooner we'll able to know the exact number of items to order and finally start the production! ૮₍❀^ ɷ ^❀₎ა If you don't answer your survey within the deadline date, we’ll still receive your information but your shipment may be delayed.
Thanks to everyone for the patience in waiting the surveys for so long ૮₍ „ ´ ヮ `„ ₎ა✧˖°
In the meantime, hope you had a super lovely weekend!
Project Update: Surveys still on hold, we're really sorry! 😭
We still didn't sent surveys out cause they're still not fully complete: we received the shipping company new rates only a few days ago (they're back from Holidays very late) and, moreover, we had to stop working cause, there have been LOTS of changes during these days of January! As we already said elsewhere, as a side effect of these big changes that are now happening, there's the fact that we unfortunately had to stop working on all our open projects (and even postpone all the new ones we already had planned for 2023 🥲).
The most significant change of this year (and the most time-consuming) is that... we're moving! After months of searching, we have finally managed to find our new place to work and have just received the keys~
Having always worked from home until now, we didn't have anything ready, like furniture or accessories to bring to the new studio. So now we're getting busy decorating and organizing our new studio! It all happened so intensely and quickly, that we haven't had time to update you or reply to your messages in the meantime, but we are doing our best to be fully operative again as soon as possible! It's taking longer than expected... we're only two doing this (with no help from anyone, cause unfortunately there's no familiar or friend that can help us). We're personally getting and assembling all the new furniture (we went to Ikea already many times so far... cause our car is small 😆 and we still have to come back to get more shelves and stuff). You can see this week initial situation in the photo below, it's currently a little advanced than in this pic but still in progress~
We deeply apologize once again for the tremendous delays we are having on all fronts, but we do believe that this big change will surely help us to be a lot faster in the future with everything finally properly organized! ૮₍ ˵◕ ヮ ◕˵ ₎ა ̖́- We'll answer to every message, comment or e-mail as soon as we can ૮ ˵◕´ﻌ`◕˵ ა♡
Thank you so so much for all your awesome support and patience! We can't wait to complete all the backlogs and please be ready, cause something very special is hopping soon, too! ᕱ⑅ᕱ
Until the next update, where we'll finally able to only say that the surveys are out and the new studio is finished!
Wish you all lots of good things for this year 🌟
With Love, Inari&Mosted~
Project Update: Surveys delayed ̖́-
Just poppin' in to let you know that we're still working on setting the surveys up and that we didn't forget of course! ʕ❀^㉨^❀ʔ Since shipping hasn't been charged during the campaign (as previously stated in the main page), we have to add it in the surveys (for it to be paid right away or later at the moment of the dispatchment). To do so, we're just trying to see if we'll have to use a fulfillment center to help us with the dispatchment of the campaign rewards this time, or if we'll have to do everything by ourselves again. It all depends on the shipping rates that the fulfillment center will give us: if they're more convenient (for both you and us) than our new shipping rates, we'll choose to go with their help! ૮₍ ˵^ ヮ ^˵ ₎ა ̖́- Naturally, the Holidays brought a lot of delays also in the communications/answers exchange... hopefully we'll get a reply from them soon so we'll be able to finalize the surveys and finally send them to you! ૮₍ ˵◕ ɷ ◕˵ ₎ა✧˖°
Until then, wish you a super nice day!
With Love,
Project Update: Project ended! What happens now? ̖́-
✦ꜱᴜʀᴠᴇʏꜱ
We need to know what and where we need to ship the rewards, of course! That's why we’ll send out a Survey through BackerKit to collect this information from all the backers. We're currently working on preparing the surveys for all the tiers. Through the Survey you'll be able to finally select which items you want. But! You'll also be able to add even more add-ons in the Survey and get more items with your pledge even now that the campaign has ended!
✦ᴘʀᴏᴅᴜᴄᴛɪᴏɴ ꜱᴛᴀʀᴛꜱ
For the production and fulfillment to be started, funds are needed to be transfered over to us and this process can take up to 20+ business days. After we'll have the funds in hands and everyone (or the vast majority) will have answered the surveys, we'll able to actually start the production of the rewards with our manufacturers.
Project Update: All the stretch goals have been met! ̖́-
For the poll (in case you didn't meet them yet):
Project Update: Final samples ̖́-
We've been fully funded for a while now and also all the stretch goals have been met, except for the very last one (for plushies) which is Cowpuccino and her accessories, that is at around 90% of completion! ૮₍ ˵◕´ ɷ `◕˵ ₎ა ☕
In the meantime, our manu has finally finished the revisitations of the first samples following our adjustments, and here they are: the definitive samples for Cowpuccino and Candy Cowrn!! They turned out so freakin cute now, perfectly according to our expectations ૮₍„ಡ ɷ ಡ„₎ა💗
A very last sprint is needed to achieve the little Cowpuccino & friends goal! Share the project with your friends as much as you can to help giving us more chance to unlock them ⍝૮₍ ˵^ ɷ ^˵ ₎ა⍝✧˖°
