It has been a bit and I wanted to update you all on how the project is going. Besides surviving the insane heat weeks in the Netherlands I've also been taking a little slow and chill period. But back to work now!
Shipping process All the not-combined orders are shipped off since the last update! All that's left are all the combined orders. Due to the summer holidays and summer conventions we are delayed with packing and shipping them off.
Fulfillment overview so far. 'Send & Remind' contains tip-jar-backers as well but 7 in total didn't fill in their survey.
Roundbirbart and I did meet up to combine all the products but haven't gotten the time to pack them in shipping parcels. With it being 230 parcels this will take a bit longer. Our guess is that we'll be able to pick this up again late August/early September. Just know it's all set aside and your frogs and birds will be send to you. Until then we thank you all for your patience!
Missing payments and surveys As an maintenance overview there are currently 7 backers who did not fill in their survey. Knowing from past projects these will never be filled in if they are not filled in right now so after the end of September I will accept these pledges as donations and close the project for them.
There are also still 2 backers whose survey aren't paid yet. These are filled in but not yet paid for possible tariffs, add-ons or shipping costs. I will keep these open until end of September, after that I will accept them as donations and close the project for them. I have put aside the chosen enamel pins for these two backers, just waiting on the last payment.
I have also send an email to Andrea R directly regarding their missing order from last year's August project with Poison dart frogs & Salamanders. If would be amazing if you could reply to that email before end of August! The email would have come from studioappeltjesgroen et gmail.
Look at the cuties of the collab freebie enamel pins!
Leftover enamel pins in my webshop When ordering stock for the crowdfunding I always order with a buffer and thus have leftover stock at this moment. I sell these at upcoming conventions (Terraria Houten, 20th September is the upcoming) and in my webshop. I wanted to inquire if it would be ok to offer these in my shop soon, while many are still waiting on their orders and thus their pins. My shop isn't super active in sales (around 5 orders per month) but it would mostly be a task I can tick off the list. But I wanted to hear your opinion first before doing this. Otherwise they will pop in the shop the moment all the combined parcels are packed and waiting for pickup.
Next enamel pin project A little sneak for the next crowdfunding project is the Pintober one with Fall times with Floris! Another small (around 6-ish enamel pins like last year) with Floris the Frog as the main focus. All in fall, autumn and October vibes. If you wish to get updates, please hit that follow button.
Upcoming new smaller pin project!
