Hello Softies!

Great news: our setup for surveys has been approved, so we're going to be slowly trickling out a few of them as a test run! A "smoke test" will go out on Monday, February 24, for 5% of each pledge tier.

What is a smoke test? A smoke test simply means that you may receive a survey email from Very Huggable Softies asking you to pay for your shipping cost + any add ons you want to include in your order. This survey is the real deal, and you will be expected to fill it out in order to complete your pledge and secure your purchase.

If you do not receive a survey, do not be alarmed! All remaining surveys are still scheduled to go out on Saturday, March 1st. So sit tight, relax, and simply keep an eye on your email, including your junk and spam folders.

As of now, 12 people still have failed pledges. Please ensure your payment method is correct, so your pledge won't be canceled. Failure to fix errors may result in your pledge being canceled, and any applicable freebies (e.g. Pintopia 2025 collab bonus pin, early bird sticker sheet, etc.) will be canceled as well.

Thank you all, and see you next update!
