PROJECT UPDATE
Project Update: Pins Production Friday & Final Chance for Add-ons!
Pin Production & Add-ons
I don’t want to hold up any backers who have paid already, so I’m going to put forward some of my own money to get the pins into production Friday.
If you have not completed your survey by Friday there is a chance you may not receive the pins and add-ons you want. Surveys completed after Friday 25th October, 2024 - will still receive the amount of items they have paid for, however priority of styles goes to the backers that have already paid and completed surveys before that date.
If you are having trouble paying or completing your survey, please reach out to me via email [email protected]
Production Finishing
I have been notified that pins should be finished production in the first week of December, so I’ll have everything prepared to get them out to you to hopefully get there before Christmas. This is of course if there are no production delays. If they do stumble across a delay, I will do another update to let you all know.
Postage Charges
As part of your surveys it will notify you of your postage costs and any extra costings for additional add-ons. These will be locked Friday and charged sometime next week.
Once the pins and other items are here, you will receive tracking in your BackerKit Dashboard. All parcels will be sent via Australia Post, tracking portal is here.
Thank you again for your work on making this product come to life! Next update will be about pin progress!

PROJECT UPDATE
Project Update: Pins on their way this week! Unpaid orders cancel Wednesday!
Pins
Pins are being posted sometime this week, I'm not sure what the postage time will be like now that things are ramping up with holiday mail. I think that it will be approximately 1-2 weeks from the end of this week when I'll get them.
I'll then go through them and grade them all to ensure everyone is receiving top notch product.
Acrylic Keychains
Anyone who ordered acrylic keychains, there will be a small delay with these coming a week or two after the pins - your parcel will be held until all items are here to ensure there is only one shipping fee.
Unpaid Orders
There are still a few backers yet to pay. Unfortunately, if you are unpaid by Wednesday 20th November, 2024 @11pm AEDT - then I will need to cancel your order. Everyone has had ample time to pay as it has been over a month since the project ended. As many of you are aware, I am unable to work due to health issues, and I've had to use the last of my savings to make up the funding of failed pledges. If your order does get cancelled and you would like some of these designs, there will be a few designs that have left over pins and they'll be put up on my website.
You can look out for them here: http://www.handmadebytenille.com.au
This will be the first time I need to cancel orders, but I can't hold back other backer's orders because some backers have not paid. Thank you for your understanding.

PROJECT UPDATE
Project Update: Pins in production & Final chance to preorder at discounted prices!
Hey team,
Production Update
Just letting you know the pins are in production now and should hopefully be finished by the end of November! We might be a week or two ahead of schedule which is nice, most people might actually get them before Christmas (unless they are delayed getting here in shipping).
Preorders
There’s only 2 more days to order pins at the cheaper prices, after this time they’ll go back up to $20 AUD on my website. Shipping is also cheaper through BackerKit & BackerKit preorders, so take advantage!
Next Project
I’m happy to announce that I’ll be part of Pintopia 2025! This is held in Jan/Feb next year. My theme that I’ve chose is: Pokemon Cafe!
Please check out the project here: https://www.backerkit.com/call_to_action/6a97f960-da08-4d34-9399-1ffb72d5f3fe/landing
I’ll be posting pin style teasers in December on my Instagram!
Shop Updates
I’ve started adding new acrylic keychains, sticker books, playmats, old pin styles and more to my website! Be sure to check it out!

PROJECT UPDATE
Project Update: Samples have arrived & Surveys have been sent!
Surveys
Survey links have been sent out, if you missed yours you can log into your account to grab it or just contact me via email and I can send you a link.
Please fill these out in a timely manner, preferably by next Friday so that I can order all the items required and we don’t hold other backers up!
There are some pins that need to be ordered as an add-on as we didn’t hit them with our initial funding and the money collected for shipping doesn’t count towards the pin total. These are the: Charmeleon, Wartortle, Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise, Crash Bandachu & Three Friends pins. I’ve put them up at reduced prices to try and get them funded, you can grab the regular ones at $11 and the large at $20!
Missing Payments
This week BackerKit will automatically try to collect payments again from those missing. There are 7 people who are still missing payments. If you’d like to fix it now, you can log in and do it yourself.
Samples
Some samples of items came in today!
Here’s a look at them!

PROJECT UPDATE
Project Update: Smoke Test Survey Sent & Some missing payments!
Hey community,
Survey Links
Today the smoke test was sent out to see that the survey works - please check your inbox and spam to see if you got a survey link! If you did, BackerKit randomly chose you and the bold and beautiful guinea pig that you are #blessed!
Once they come back in, I'll see if the survey worked and then send it out to all of you! I'll do another update so that you know when that is!
If for whatever reason you lose the link or need to change something, you can just log into BackerKit and there is a section in your dropdown menu about your pledges and your surveys!
Missed Payments
So far we have 7 people with failed payments, BackerKit will try taking the payments around the 15-16th and then 20-21st of this month before they cancel your pledge. If they cancel your pledge, you can still go through and order items but I can't guarantee items you want will be available and they might be at higher pricing!
Locked Designs
In the last 24 hours we had over $700 of pledges cancelled. So unfortunately that means some of the pins have not been funded and can't be picked in your surveys. However, I have added these in the add-on/pre-order store for discounted pricing:

- Regular Sized Pins $11 each! We need 10 of them ordered each (that is either regular or shiny)
- Special Large Pins $20 each! We need 8 of them ordered each
- Johto Pin Set, this one we never got near but if we can get 12 ordered we can get them made
- If we hit the $3000 by use of the add-on preorder store all backers will also get the PokeMart pin! Totally for free!
Note: If they don't get funded, you will be refunded for it!
Help!
Some of you are new to these fan-funding campaigns, and don't worry I'm still getting the hang of it. If you do need assistance, don't be afraid to hit me up on social media (less likely to check this) Instagram @handmadebytenille or email [email protected]
Preorder Store
You may know someone that missed out on backing this project, you can give them this link here to go to the preorder store. Note: There are limited number of items here.
