Finally Some Completed Pins to Share!
Hi hi!
I'm over the moon that I finally have progress shots of completed pins to share with all of you! I'm pretty happy with them so far, what are your thoughts?
We also ...
I can officially say that ALL answered surveys, except for my last Canadian orders are officially fulfilled and were physically taken to the post office. There was a bit of a problem with a few of the remaining egg stickers. The last remaining ones were BADLY PRINTED, and even though they are sending me replacements and I paid for 2 day shipping, they wouldn't have gotten here until next week or later due to the holidays. I heard a rumor milling about that packages sent out any later than the 12th would most likely not make it in time for the holidays, so I replaced a few with another holo-sticker that I had of equal size, just so I can make sure that all remaining packages had the best possible chance of making it out if they were intended to be gifts.
CANADA
I am still waiting to send out my last 12 Canadian bound orders. Due to the Canadian Union of Postal Workers' Strike, the United States Postal Service is refusing as of Nov. 29th to take any packages bound for Canada until further notice. But I am keeping a close eye on the news. You are already packed up and ready to go!
REMAINING PINS
There are still (4) stragglers who have not reached out to complete their surveys yet via Backerkit, and (4) people who have not fixed their declined payment. You have 30 Days, starting yesterday to update before I close the pledge manager. The clock started yesterday since all packages were mailed out on Thursday, and it's been 8 months since the surveys went out. Please, please look at your inboxes!
The remaining pins will go into the Etsy shop soon, I just have to finish up preparations for next month's Pintopia campaign. I'll announce here as soon as they're available.
Just a little update since shipping has become...well.. complex? I'm already nearing over half of the orders sent out, and I'm on track to send all of them out by the 15th...but some things are making that a bit difficult...
EU CUSTOMS REFORM
Firstly, I have tried to get all rewards going to Europe sent out BEFORE the December 10th deadline which makes it darn near impossible to ship to any EU countries. I'm too small of a business to fund the necessary changes to keep shipping to Europe, and unfortunately for the foreseeable future, that also means that I can't open future crowdfunding campaigns to these countries. I have had wonderful Backers who have helped me from countries such as Malta, Ireland, France, Spain, and Germany, and I'm so sad about this unfortunate series of events. I'm hoping that there will be a resolution where small businesses are not put at an unfair advantage.
CANADA
I also have unfortunate news for some of the Canadian bound orders. Due to the Canadian Union of Postal Workers' Strike, the United States Postal Service is refusing as of Nov. 29th to take any packages bound for Canada until further notice. There are 12 of you left, and as soon as I can get the green light, your packages are out the door.
NEW PINTOPIA CAMPAIGN UPDATES
The Fauna Fruit Pins and Bags Pintopia Campaign is in 51 days If any of you are not familiar with Pintopia, At least 2 artists/pin designers will partner up to help promote the event. We are separate projects BUT still connected through these two pins below! As a backer, you can help us to unlock these pins. Help us to reach our goals by backing BOTH campaigns, and IF we both meet our initial goals, these cute foodie dragons will be added to your orders! Do you know anyone who loves Dragons or Food, let them know about the freebies!
SIGN UP EARLY HERE: https://www.backerkit.com/call_to_action/da48c7a9-7130-44b1-9f93-7661486ef038/landing
Let's keep going with the updates!!
We have a new poll for the new campaign! POLL: https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/ashley-s-benson/fauna-fruit-pins-and-bags/polls/2464?ref=bk-social-poll-button
I'd love to get your feedback on which pin should be unlocked first after the initial 6 pins, and the newly updated Strawberry Tiger Ita Bag have been unlocked! I'd love to make this project more interactive, so that the backers will be setting the pace for what gets unlocked next!
Just keeping everyone in the loop. I've been shipping out pins for a couple weeks, but I did run into an unexpected family loss last week that mentally took me out of the game for a bit.
I lost my sweet 11-year-old boy Raider to Cushing's Disease last Sunday, and my great Aunt on so there was a small batch of backers who just received a notification of their rewards being shipped, BUT they've already been delivered. I apologize for the late email...but it was already primed to go out and I had to send them out.
I'm getting back into motion and sending them out as quickly as possible, but I'm a team of one. Thank you so much for your patience. I'm estimating that they'll all be out by mid-December, before the holiday cut-off.
Hi!! We are wrapping up production and we should hopefully get the tracking number soon! I'm predicting by the end of this month, they'll be on their way to me, and as soon as they are, I can start getting them on their way to you!
Once they arrive, I'll give everyone a 48hr notice before locking addresses. At this moment, everyone is still able to change/update their addresses. Just follow the link back from your survey, easy peazy! My goal is to complete shipping well before the Christmas cut off for the post office. I like to start the new year off with all of my campaigns wrapped up if I can *knocks on wood*, so if you're also on this year's Kickstarter campaign, I've got great news coming your way as well!
Please note that Wabbits will not go into the Etsy until the last one with survey and shipping collected goes out. Once that happens, I promise to update everyone when the listings are LIVE.
We're almost there! Thank you so much for your patience with an unusually slow production year.
Also!! I'm super excited to be in next year's Pintopia! Here's a little sneak peak! I'm partnering up with an amazing artist, Kimchi Kawaii. We're both working on collab pins, and I'll have a special exclusive freebie for anyone pledging for any amount during the first 48hrs! So sign up early and see what we'll be making! This year, I'd love to make it more interactive again. So we'll be voting on the next pins as well as what bag starts off the collection!! Every vote counts!!
We're finally in the home stretch on production! We still have a few to go, but the majority have been completed!
Sorry it's taking a bit longer than normal. I have everything else ready to complete fulfillment, except for the last few pins... We're waiting to see:
