I've just send out the smoke test for the surveys. About 5% of the backers got a survey request to see and test out if all goes well. If there are no hiccups all other backers can expect their survey this week as well!
Is the USA available again?
Regarding shipment to the USA: still no options to send to the USA so sadly I can't offer anything. There were some hopeful messages but it turns out it was too soon on their end so, no. :(
What's left to do for this project
Finalizing the vector files for my manu and placing the order. I plan to place the order after at least 80% of the surveys are filled in as the budget is a bit tighter this time around. I'll keep you all up to date when the pins are in production :) The same goes for the sticker sheets, charms and freebie vinyl stickers!
Next project: Pintober, Froggoween
Pintober is coming up on 21st of October till 1st of November! I've joined as well and my project will be Froggoween! Where Floris the Frog, my original frog character from 2008, will be playing dress up as many different spooky characters. You can follow along here.
Fun part of Pintober is that if you support 3 or more projects you'll receive a free mini pin of all the backed projects of Pintober. These mini pins will be in the theme of treats! I have to decide about mine still but I'm thinking of picking a typical Dutch sweet/candy/cake. (Stroopwafel? Mergpijpje? Spritskoekjes?) The good news: this project will be available for US backers! The estimated fulfillment will probably be around March-May by which I assume the postal services have set up something by then. If anything goes wrong still around that time I'll offer to keep the packages until shipment is possible.
That's it for now. I'll update again when the production has started, until then if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me via Backerkit support (the 'Contact us for help' button on your pledge page). Or you can use the contact form on my website, that way you reach me immediately by email and I can help you out much easier. :)
