Project Update: Survey Lock and charge incoming
Ribbits everyone!
My mailbox was blessed with a Fedex tracking which shows the enamel pins will arrive this week! This means it's time for the next phases for the survey.
• First up, I will lock the surveys tomorrow, 7 July 2026!
• Next I will start adding the complimentary credit to those who have picked combined shipping (Local PickUp) but are NOT an US address.
To make my work the easiest: please check if you added in your full address besides choosing Local Pickup (if you are eligible for combined shipping). I will use the info provided (street names, cities, etc) to see if you are living outside of the US to remove the Tariff costs.
• US addresses with Local Pickup (and without) will have tariffs added to their survey for duty paid upfront. So there will be no additional payments needed when you receive your parcel.
• This complimentary credit will be a very manual job sadly, so this will take some time on my end. Meaning I will probably take this week if not next week as well to fix this. When I am done I will charge the survey credit cards! I will give you all a 48h heads-up for it but expect that to happen next week at the earliest.
• In the meantime I will be unboxing, grading, collecting and pinning all the ordered enamel pins to prep them for packaging. Mr X will probably help me with this again!
• Together with Roundbirbart we'll set a date for when we will pack the combined orders at her office. I've heard her pins are also getting near so we timed it pretty nicely! Date for this is tba.
• Orders with the Desert rain frog socks will have to wait until the socks arrive. I hope to receive the socks end of this month, but I'm not sure. I will update when I know more.
EDIT: I knew it, one day after writing this update and I got confirmation socks are ready to be shipped! Waiting on the tracking but I assume I'll have them by the end of next week or the week after.
• Lock the address when the actual packing of the orders will begin. I will provide another 48h heads-up for this. That way you can update the address still if needed. But double checking your survey, address AND credit card info and amounts right after reading this update can help loads!
I think that's about it. Locking surveys, fixing the credit, then charge the cards, meanwhile unpack and grade the pins, lock addresses, pack them together and wave them all off to their new homes!
