Project Update: JULY MINI UPDATE | Remade Funfetti pins are on the way!
Hello everyone!
It took a little while longer to post this update since my manufacturer told me that the screenprints on the remade Funfetti pins took more time than they expected (on top of having another holiday during the production process), but they finished the plating for the pins and will ship it out in the upcoming days! 🎉
I expect the pins to arrive here by the end of this month or begin August at its very latest. Shipping times from China has taken a bit longer than what I'm used to in the past year due to all these new changes and rules, but I'm hoping to get them earlier than anticipated so I can get everyone's pins on the way ASAP.
I've also shipped out a couple of test pledges and will ship out a couple more over the next few days, although I'm a bit wary now with the upcoming changes on July 8th and how it could affect Europe (if it does). Needless to say I'll of course keep everyone updated!

A kind reminder if you want your pledge sooner (USA backers)
As mentioned in previous updates, I'll be paying the customs and import fees out of pocket due to the long wait because of the new US import laws that took the Portuguese postal carrier (and Europe in general) a lot of time to finally get fixed so we could ship things out again. I feel like this is the right thing to do considering everything, and I do not expect the people who supported me to pay more than what was expected.
This means that fulfillment of your pledge can take longer than initially anticipated since the import costs ended up being higher than the estimate that was communicated with us. Please feel free to email me ([email protected]) if you don't mind covering these costs (which, depending on the volume and contents on your pledge, should be within a range of around €2 minimum to €10+) so you can get your order shipped out sooner. I'll provide a screenshot of the actual calculated costs and we can arrange the payment via PayPal.
Again, this is entirely optional and it's only if you wish to get your pledge shipped out sooner. If you're fine with waiting a bit longer due to the above mentioned reason (me paying it out of pocket), then there's nothing you need to do, however I - for full transparency - cannot give an estimate as to when I'll ship out your pledge since the fees all piled together can be quite costly as you can imagine, so I'm trying my best to things shipped it out as soon as I can since this is also an unexpected added expense for me. 😅
Thank you for reading and stay hydrated during these extremely hot days!
With lots of love,
