Updates

Good afternoon everyone!! I've got some awesome news!!


The Wolf Boba Buddy sample has officially been approved for mass production. My manufacturer was really sweet and decided to make me a new sample for my final edit free of charge, and they got it done really quickly!! The one edit I wanted was to move the cheek fur down to the cheeks (I hadn't noticed on the original samples that the cheek fur was closer to the ears, looking more like ear fluff)!!

Here's the final look:

ANDDDddd drum roll please! We finally have the first sample of the long awaited Rainbow Tiger Boba Buddy bag!! 👀💖💖

I am VERY very happy with how it turned out so far!! The cup design with the lil stickers is so so adorable and overall I think they're close to perfect!! I have a couple edits, as shown below, so I'm hopeful the bag will be finished soon!

Thank you all so so much for your incredible support and patience. I know it took awhile for the Rainbow Tiger bag sample to be ordered but I am so happy with how it's turning out so far and I hope ya'll are just as excited as I am for the results!!


The Frog Boba Buddy bags are also nearly finished and will be shipping to be soon! Backers who pledged for only the Frog bag will be getting their goodies first. Because the Frog bag design was approved sooner than the others they were able to be mass produced sooner. I am very excited to be receiving the bulk order soon! I will keep ya'll updated as to when they've arrived at my doorstep! 😊💖🐸


Thank you so much for yoru support!


Love,

Hey hey everyone!!


I had received the new Boba Buddy bag samples RIGHT before I was leaving for a small trip a couple weekends ago but I finally managed to grab some quick pics to share with you guys!! 😊💖💖 Here they are!!

I think my fav is the Bat, he looks so adorable!!


I have contacted my manufacturer and let them know I approved all of the samples except for the Wolf bag!! The Raccoon, Fawn, Bat, and Calico Cat bags are finally going into production!!


As for the Wolf I completely missed the placement of the cheek fur when receiving photos of the previous samples so I have asked them to be moved down to the cheek area rather than near the ears! I have asked if I need to purchase another sample for this edit or if it's possible for them to make this edit in the bulk production. They are currently on holiday but I will let ya'll know when they say when they get back to me! :3


The Frog bags, which was the design to be officially approved for bulk production, are nearly finished and will be shipped before all of the other bags!! I am awaiting more details after the holiday! 💖💖


 👉Which bag is your fav?? Comment below!


Thank you so so much for your ur support!! I am very very excited to FINALLY have the final samples in my hands!! I hope you all love em as much as I do!

Good evening everyone!!


I just wanted to let ya'll know that for Backers who ONLY pledged for the smaller merch (stickers, enamel pins, charms, etc.) your items have been packed and shipped! You should've received an email from Backerkit containing your tracking number/information!! 😊💖💖


👉 Those who ordered stickers only will not be receiving tracking as those were shipped in an envelope with a Forever Stamp.


👉 For Domestic/within the USA Orders you should expect your package within 1-2 weeks!!


👉 International Orders should be arriving within 2-4 weeks!!


If your Order arrives and there are issues please be sure to email me at [email protected] with your Backerkit name and email and we can sort it out together!


The Boba Buddy bag samples have also arrived and I will be taking photos of them this weekend and posting another Update to share them with you!!


Thank you so so much for your support and patience, it means so much to me and I am so excited for ya'll to receive your items!! For some packages I may have accidentally forgotten to include a business card so if you want my social media, etc. here's my website 👉 https://servalsurf.carrd.co/


⭐ Posting your goodies n' tagging me online would be so amazing, I'd love to see your hauls! ⭐

Good afternoon everyone!!


I just wanted to let you know that the Poll for the Rainbow Tiger Boba Buddy bag ended last week and it looks like a majority of ya'll still want to get the bag regardless of the face edits!! 😊💖💖 Thank you so much for your support and kind comments, I truly appreciate it!! I have given my manufacturer the green light to start working on the sample so hopefully we'll be getting sample photos ASAP!


I still have no issue with sending refunds to the few who wanted a refund so if you're interested in one please email me at [email protected] with your Backerkit name + email and we can discuss it further!!


I also wanted to let ya'll know that I will be locking addresses on your Surveys soon. You will have 48 hours to make any address changes on your Surveys before they lock permanently. If you've moved or just want them sent elsewhere be sure to make those changes! You will receive an email notifying you of this.


Once addresses are locked I will continue onward to shipping the smaller items to Backers (who only pledged for small items and not bags)! I am sorry for the minor delay! I had a convention I vended at earlier this month and I've just been resting from it since then (I am very much an introvert and need to rest and recover after each con lol)!!


Thank you all so so much for being so patient!! I will be posting another Update once all of the smaller items have been mailed. Remember: car peeker sticker-only pledges will be sent via envelope without tracking!! Everything else like pins and charms will be sent with tracking, thank you!

Hello everyone!!


It has taken awhile for my manufacturer and I to come to a conclusion of the Rainbow Tiger bag’s face design. When I first sent my manu the bag concept artwork they told me it was do-able but unfortunately as we came closer to producing the sample they informed me that the face was too complicated and needed to be edited.


I apologize for this situation and for the wait on this Update. Sadly this decision was out of my control and was unexpected. Here is the updated design:

I understand that this is a pretty drastic difference from the original design so I wanted to offer my lovely Backers the option:


🧋 Would you rather receive this newly edited Rainbow Tiger Boba Buddy bag OR would you rather receive a refund for the bag?


👉 Please note that if you want to receive the bag that the sample hasn’t been started yet (as the edits have been recently discussed/finalized) and there would be an additional wait for the sample to be made, and the bulk order made/shipped to me.


There are no hard feelings if you prefer to receive a refund. I completely understand that the new design is very different from the original you were promised when you placed your orders, and therefore you may not like the bag anymore and prefer your money back!!


Please only vote in the Poll IF you ordered a Rainbow Tiger bag!! If the majority of people want a refund I will not be placing the bulk order for the bag and the sample payment I made for the Rainbow Tiger will go towards a different project instead. Refunds would be sent immediately. The Poll ends September the 12th (this Saturday) @ noon EST.


If the majority of Backers WANT the bag regardless of the edits I will give my manufacturer the green light to start making the sample, and a bulk order will be placed once it’s finished. However if you’d still like a refund feel free to email me at [email protected] with your BackerKit name and email. I will do my best to accommodate to everyone! 💖💖


Thank you so so much for your patience while we await news for this bag. I’m so sorry it’s taken so long for a sample to be started/done but because the manufacturer needed edits there were delays.


I really appreciate your support on this project. I was on a trip this past weekend to vend at a convention but now that I’m back I will be starting to pack and ship smaller Rewards off to ya’ll!! If you ordered any of the smaller merch like enamel pins and charms you will be receiving a Backerkit email with tracking information for your package. If you ordered ONLY stickers they will be mailed in an envelope with no tracking.


Thank you so much for your support. If you have any input or thoughts regarding this Update please comment below!


Love,
Benji
