Hey guys!

I want to thank everyone for your patience on the fulfillment of this campaign. It has been very slow and for that I am very sorry.

First of all, the shipping cost.... I am not purchasing labels through Backerkit this time because it is 30% or more higher than using Pirateship (which is what I use all the time). This is causing the process of purchasing labels and putting order slips with them take longer than usual. Even in doing this, shipping cost across the board has been a nightmare. Most labels are costing more than what I charged and had reserved for. Especially big, international orders.

Another issue that happened was Luca's plushie was not done right. The 2 wing pieces of each wing were not sewn together like they were supposed to be, making the wings very limp and not very attractive... So I needed to get them all sewn together. I did do some of them myself, but I am not a person that sews... it took me hours to get a few done. So I had to get help from family and left boxes of Luca plushies with them to work on them for me.

On top of this, running my P3 campaign and working on it daily, as well as upholding a household, and having no help at all with the packing process this time.... it's been tough. But the school year is over at the end of this week and I might be able to recruit some help (my family members that usually help me are teachers lol).

It's getting done, hopefully the pace picks up and I can have them all done in the next few weeks!

Thank you again everyone! ❤️💕

I’m going to address a few things here.

First of all, I am still getting orders prepped and packed. I said before that it was going to be a bit slow because I am pretty much doing this alone and I also have a family and house to take care of. I can’t just wake up, go to the shop and pack orders till it’s time to go to bed. I am sorry to put it like that, but it’s just how it is. I know most of you are very understanding of this and I thank everyone for your patience.

Secondly, I did not set up preorders on my shop because I am still unsure at this point when I will be able to fulfill those preorders. So I’m avoiding a potential other issue with people getting upset because my shop said it’ll ship in a certain timeframe and it ends up being later. I did put LIMITED quantities of them as add-ons for my current campaign (and not all designs made it to the add-ons) but I am holding a reserve for my shop for each design.

REST ASSURD, WHEN THEY GO UP IN MY SHOP, I WILL ANNOUNCE IT.

Something else I see mentioned is my constant updates on my currently live campaign and my apparently no updates to this project. I have to make constant updates to my currently live project, but I do not have anything new to share with this one as I am working on the orders.

I already feel very stressed and pressured to get your orders to you that you paid your hard earned money on. You supported my plushies, and I want to get them to you as fast as I can. It was pretty bad timing because I had PART 3 planned for this time and my bulk order from PART 2 took a lot longer to get to me than I anticipated and at this point I have very little to no help. My sister in laws who have helped me on past projects have been busy and currently on vacation in Europe with their mom, my husband has been swamped with work, and my own mother has been having health issues and not able to babysit my little girls for me so I can focus more on packing orders.

I did make a Reddit post advertising my new campaign, and someone took to the comments to say I’m not answering questions about updates and basically making me feel pretty awful and things like this just add to my already high anxiety to get orders done as fast as possible. But I’m not answering the questions or making another update because nothing has changed.

In a nutshell, I am working on orders. That’s all I have to tell you at this time. I’m sorry I don’t have more. And I’m sorry if any of you have lost faith in me because this has taken longer than expected. If my lack of constant updates on me working on orders and the time it’s taken for me to get them for my manufacturer and the time it’s taking me to fulfill orders is what’s making you not want to support my newest campaign, then that’s fine. I understand. 

This is all for now.

Thank you everyone for supporting me. I can’t wait till you can all hold and snuggle your Snuggle Dreamers 💜

I keep getting emails and messages and comments from people asking about when their orders will arrive to them or asking for an update and whatnot.

At this point in time, I have not gotten the shipment. The shipping method that my rep used from the factory was different than normal, and all I know is that the cargo ship has made it to the US but I do not know when the shipment will be here yet. I have a new rep with my manufacturer now (my last one is resigning due to issues and I am glad since all my requests I made to use ONLY FEDEX were ignored......) and she is checking in and will update me as soon as the carrier picks up the shipment. I am guessing the port is backed up or very busy because of the timing of the year.

I am sorry that this has taken longer than was supposed to. Before the campaign launched, I had an estimated timeframe based on a certain amount of ordered plushies. I ended up making more stretch goals than anticipated and ordering more plushies than originally planned, so production took a lot longer.

One of the things people keep mentioning in their messages to me (some nice about it, some not so nice) is that "this is taking way longer than you said". 

And to that: I have a disclaimer on my campaign pages for each project I made, including this one, that the timeline I give is ESTIMATED and CAN CHANGE DUE TO DELAYS OR UNFORSEEN ISSUES OR OTHER THINGS.

I have been very open and transparent about the delays and giving updates as I have them available. 

Please always refer to campaign updates for any news and your questions regarding updates on this timeline and shipping & fulfillment.

Thank you everyone! Your patience and understanding is very much appreciated! ❤️

Hey everyone! Just a quick update, the plushies have shipped from my manufacturer this past week, so we now wait for the long journey across the sea lol.

🚢🛳️📦🚢🛳️📦🚢🛳️📦📦📦📦📦🚢📦🛳️📦🚢📦🛳️📦📦📦📦📦🛳️🚢📦🛳️🚢📦🛳️🚢

Sorry I did not make this update sooner, I have been unwell and now just full blown sick 🤒🤧😵

I will make an update again when fulfillment is about to begin, but please keep in mind that the shipping takes 25 to 40 days by sea.






Also, if you haven't checked out my newest campaign yet, you should come see! 

I'll be honest though, it's going pretty rough because so many other projects are running right now with Pintopia, not looking good for getting more stretch goals unlocked haha, but come check it out and pledge if you like this project and some of the things we offer through it 🥰

Thank you everyone for your support and for you patience!
