Project Update: April Check-In (1 of 2)

Hi everyone,

I want to thank you all again for your patience as I continue to tackle the rest of the Tiny Warriors fulfillment. Under the replies section of my previous update post from March, I stated that in the interest of keeping my backers better informed, I would commit to sharing an update every two weeks. Regardless of how much progress has been made in that time, even if there isn't any to share, I will adhere to this update schedule. I'm hoping this improvement in communication will help me stay focused, keep everybody in the loop, and prevent long periods of silence on my end from ever repeating. You all deserve to stay informed.

I has been two weeks since I made that promise, so here's what's new since my last update:
  • Locked 4 orders that were left unlocked . . . These were probably caused by late survey submissions. It's not an issue, I just realized that they weren't contributing to the "unshipped" order count until they were locked. In my last update I stated there were 43 orders marked unshipped, this bounced the number back up to 47 (before the order counts in the next bullet points below.) I'm sharing this part for transparency as it causes a slight number discrepancy. 
  • 5 orders have been shipped and delivered
  • 12 orders packed with requested freebie pins . . . to be shipped Thursday or Friday this week
  • 14 orders packed without freebies . . . I wanted to give everybody time to see and reply to this update post in which I offered 5 additional pin sets free of charge to anybody who hadn't received their order to that point - I held off on shipping some orders which were packed, but that those backers hadn't yet requested pins for, in case those backers reached out. However, I will be considering this update post a last call for additional freebies so that I can move on with fulfillment on those orders. If you already commented on this post before today, I have seen and taken note of your selections. If you still haven commented, please do! If I receive your comment before your order is labeled and shipped then I will still include those extra items for you. You can also let me know if you choose not to receive any extras. If I don't receive a comment from you then your pledge will ship as-is. I hope I have given a fair time window.

Admittedly it's slower progress than I hoped to share in this update, I started school again last week and I think getting adjusted to my new schedule and classes slowed me a bit. However I'll be continuing to ship orders and work on school at the same time, and doing my best to give adequate attention to both. I want everybody to have their items in hand as soon as possible, it's the least that I can do now. 

Also, I'm only human, so if you receive your items and there are any issues - please don't hesitate to reach out (I recommend just commenting on this post - it's easiest for me to keep track of inquiries this way) and I will correct them as quickly as possible!

Thank you all so much again for your support and feedback, it has been invaluable to me beyond words. I have taken it to heart and will use it to improve as much as I can going forward. I will be back in two weeks for another update!
