Project Update: What happens next?
Hey everyone,
Sorry I'm a bit later than expected, but I'm back to give you an update on what's going to happen next. For those who backed for the larger pins, I'm still holding on to hope that we can unlock the Monster Smut design. I've added the design to my pre-order store on Backerkit, which is now live, and it will be available to add on in the survey, but it's still very much a stretch goal at the moment.
Realistically, we need at least another 25 sales of the larger pin to guarantee its production this time. My pre-order store is open for anyone who missed the campaign and it'll remain open until the end of March. If by then we still haven't unlocked the Monster Smut design, I'll reach out to everyone who backed the larger pins to make other arrangements.
While Backerkit have been busy collecting payments, I've been busy behind the scenes preparing the surveys. I'm aiming to have the first test surveys (around 5%) sent out at the beginning of March with the remaining to follow no later than the 10th. I'd like to get these pins into your hands as quickly as possible, so when the pre-order store closes at the end of March, I'll be locking the surveys as well for final counts.
As soon as I have the final counts, the pins will go into production. I expect that to happen the first week in April and then it will probably take around 6 to 12 weeks for them to arrive with me, but it could be longer. If there are any delays with production or shipping, I'll let you know in an update.
Once the pins have arrived with me, I'll check them for any defects and then begin fulfillment. If everything goes as planned, fulfillment should be completed by late June/early July. I'm working on the shipping fees at the moment and will hopefully have them added to the surveys before they go out.

Errored Payments
Thankfully, most payments have gone through without a hitch, but as of writing this, there are 10 errored payments. I know that may not seem like a lot, but they have dropped us below the initial funding goal by over £300. Please could I ask you to check that your payment has gone through okay and if yours is unpaid, please could you update your payment details. If you're having any problems with updating your payment method, please reach out to Backerkit support as soon as possible.
Thank you so much for supporting my first enamel pin campaign. I know we didn't manage to unlock all of the designs, but you've made me so, so, so happy. I wasn't sure if anyone would be interested in my designs, but you all showed me so much love and support for them ❤️ I'll definitely be back with more in the future 🥰
Much love
