Project Update: BTS: Pallets of Boxes are OUT!
PACKAGES ARE OUT FOR DELIVERY!
In all, we ended up doing 7 PALLETS worth of packages that were, mostly, save for some bound for UPS and some a small handful being fulfilled today as well as some "problem" international orders and about 4~ domestic packages that we no longer have stock for (you guys wiped us out of Otters, Foxes, and Warmable Wonders (Purple)!)
I'll be reaching out to those folks ASAP to figure out a solution or issue any refunds that might need to occur, but otherwise, everyone's orders are in USPS hands.
There is a delay in scanning tracking numbers this time of year, but I promise they are in the post office's hands and will be tracked into the system at the annex, which typically takes a day or two!
Thank you all for the support and patience and I hope you love your critters this holiday season!!

Project Update: All Tracking Numbers Out!
I have printed out the last of the labels for Weighted Winter Wonderland today and will begin fulfilling them tomorrow and into Monday, hopefully getting every single one out on Monday and what cannot be picked up will be picked up on Tuesday!!!
This is a really big push to get everything out before the USPS First Class Mail cut off for Christmas and I'm doing it mostly alone (ðŸ˜) but I'm gonna make it happen best I can!!!!
Please be aware too that, during the holidays, scans are often delayed even if the package is picked up and at the sorting annex. I promise if you have a tracking number, your order is on it's way, even if there is a minor delay in actual tracking!!!
If you have NOT received a tracking number, it is likely because it is in the small minority of "problem" International orders that ordered items not meant to be grouped together. I will be reaching out, or have already reached out, to you over the next few days!
Thank you all for your patience and I hope these lil critters brighten your holiday season!!

Project Update: Fulfillment Begins!
After a long night of sleep, I've begun both Raven/Lynx/Rabbit/Lynx preorder fulfillment from WeigtedWildlife.com and fulfillment for Weighted Winter Wonderland begins NOW!
I've already sent off a grand majority of the international orders, so a lot of you have probably already got your tracking numbers.
Domestic orders will begin to be issued tracking numbers TOMORROW and I aim to at least have them all printed out tomorrow, though I will go back into the warehouse tomorrow to begin fulfilling them, but there's no way I can do 500+ orders in a day and no way our local post office can pick up so many in one day, though we have them coming about 2-3 times a day to pick up.
Thank you all for your patience as we push through the most wonderful (and busiest) time of the year!!

Project Update: Surveys Going Out! Fulfillment Will Begin Shortly!
I am currently at Midwest Furfest for the weekend, but the moment we get home it's go-go-go on fulfillment to get everyone their critters in time for the holidays!!!
Thank you all for your due diligence in getting your surveys in quick as possible and hopefully the next update will be with tracking numbers going out!!!

Project Update: Surveys Coming ASAP!
I am currently in a cargo van on the road to Midwes Furfest to vend for their annual event, but I promise surveys are coming ASAP!
I am doing the final touches to the surveys to get them out to you guys as soon as humanly possible while making sure there are no errors on the backend.
You should get them within the next day or two and then I will be spending much of next week after I get home fulfilling your orders so they ship out before the USPS cut-off date for First-Class mail!
Thank you for your patience and thanks so much for all your support during this first BackerKit Holiday Market!!!! What a success and hope you all are staying warm now that winter is coming upon us!
