Project Update: BACKERKIT UPDATE - (HELLAVERSE BAGS)
Hello everyone,
I wanted to take a moment to provide some updates regarding the shipping process and address a few important points. I also want to apologize if previous updates haven't reached everyone—using mobile to manage these has caused some issues, so that's my oversight.
Shipping Updates:
- Most of the shipping costs have been covered at this point.
- The only outstanding shipping costs are for the Vee bags.
- Stolitz bags are currently on heavy hold. Refunds for that specific BackerKit may need to happen, though I haven’t finalized that decision yet. I might need to find a new manufacturer for those bags since production has not yet started.
Funding Support:
- The GoFundMe campaign raised approximately $200—while it may not seem like a lot, it has made a big impact. Thank you so much to everyone who contributed.
- Commissions have also been a significant help in covering costs, so I appreciate the support there as well.
Specific Product Updates:
- Pledges for solo plushies and King Clawthorne bags have been shipped.
- Keychains for the King Clawthorne backerkit will be shipped separately. An email will be sent to those who ordered keychains with offers for other designs due to the delay.
Communication Issues:
- Please STOP messaging me on Instagram and instead use my email for inquiries. I’ve stated this multiple times, but I need to reiterate it here.
- Additionally, please stop harassing me. I understand the delays can be frustrating, but this is a one-person business—I handle everything entirely by myself. This includes:
- Commenting excessively on my posts.
- Messaging me repeatedly.
- Tagging me unnecessarily.
I kindly ask for your patience and understanding as I work through the backlog.
Remaining Work:
- Owl House and Hazbin bags will resume shortly. However, since this is a solo operation, I can only process a limited number of shipments each week.
Final Notes:
Thank you so much for your continued support, patience, and cooperation. I genuinely appreciate everyone who has stuck with me through this process. Your understanding means the world as I work to get everything completed as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Best regards,
Akirawav3

First time using my bag, and the tail came right off. Thankfully, I was able to find it, and I'm not sure what it caught on to pull it off. But just be careful so pieces don't get lost! I feel like a regular snap would have been better/more secure here, or just having those pieces sewn on as part of the bags, just as some feedback. :) My Alastor is still super cute and I love him to bits!

Project Update: HUGE BACKERKIT UPDATE - ALL BACKERKITS
Dear Backers,
I’m reaching out to provide updates on the following Backerkits:
- Hazbin Hotel Bags (Waves 1, 2, and 3)
- Helluva Boss Backerkits, including Helluva Boss Bags and Stolas/Stolitz Bags
- King Clawthorne Backerkit
Shipping Updates
Hazbin Hotel Wave 1
Shipping has officially begun! However, there have been delays due to cost-related challenges and personal health issues. I recently recovered from pneumonia, which caused a temporary pause, but I’m now resuming shipping.
- Bags are being shipped by character. If you’ve received part of your order, it’s because I’m sending items separately, one character at a time.
- Unfortunately, Backerkit’s shipping prices are not viable, so I’ve been covering costs out of pocket at $15–20 per shipment.
Hazbin Hotel Waves 2 & 3 and Helluva Boss Bags (including Stolas Bags)
These bags are completed but have not yet shipped to me. The delay is due to the manufacturer unexpectedly raising prices by an additional $5,000 for goods that were already paid for.
King Clawthorne Backerkit
This Backerkit is another major project I’m working on. While the orders that are ready have been packaged, more than 50% of surveys have not been completed. This is causing further delays, as shipping larger batches is significantly cheaper. For example:
- Shipping 10 orders costs around $150.
- Shipping 30 orders costs $200 instead of $300.
Given my current financial situation and the manufacturer demanding $5,000 before shipping items I’ve already paid for, that $100 difference makes a huge impact.
If you haven’t filled out your survey yet, please complete it as soon as possible. I really don’t want to have to remove anyone from this project.
What’s Next?
To address the unexpected cost increases, I’m working on setting up a GoFundMe campaign to raise the required funds. I’ll share the details soon. Your support, whether through donations or spreading the word, would be incredibly helpful.
Seeking Advice
If you have any advice or know of affordable shipping websites, I’d love to hear from you. This situation has been incredibly stressful, and any guidance would mean the world to me.
Contact Information
If you have questions, concerns, or advice, please email me at [email protected]. I kindly ask that you refrain from messaging me on Instagram, as it’s difficult to track or respond to inquiries there.
Thank you so much for your patience, understanding, and support. I’m doing my best to fulfill every order and will keep you updated as I make progress.
Best regards,
Akira

Project Update: SHIPPING UPDATE
BAGS ARE BEING SHIPPED.
The only two bags that have finished shipping are Alastor and Angel
I had to go to the hospital and I’m sick. I did not forget you, stop spamming and harassing me please.
I’ve gotten multiple people yelling at me even while saying I’m sick.
I do this entirely by myself.
I am bed ridden I cannot pack 70 bags at the moment.
Which includes unpacking a box of packing boxes. Unpacking and sorting through whatever character I need. Taping up to 40 boxes, and making separate labels for 40 people.
Please be patient.

I got my first bag in yesterday, and it's beautiful! But I ordered 3 in total - are the other 2 shipping separately? Or was it a mishap? I can't find anything on your socials saying the orders will or won't ship out in this fashion. Help 😅
