Thank you all for your incredible patience and understanding thus far with this campaign!Â
Here are the most current updates for everyone:Â
âš Important: 5 Unresponsive backers have been dropped from the campaign as of November 1st. This includes those who's payment methods have failed without resolution since the campaign ended in August. As mentioned previously, it's crucial for backers to respond to their surveys, and filling them to completion (which includes putting in your payment information for shipping fees) in order for me to successfully process and fulfill your order. As I operate on a conveyer belt method, waiting on unresponsive backers becomes burdensome and for lack of better phrasing, a massive headache and anxiety-inducing.

Production Is Wrapping up! My rep, Steven, anticipates that all plush will be finished at the end of this week, where they will then undergo QC to prepare for their journey to the USA!Â
From there, I have instructed Steven to send 5 pcs of each item to me expedited so I can overlook the final production and ensure no materials were changed without my approval (a situation that unfortunately has become more than common within my manufacturing endeavors), and assuming that there are no major issues I find, all the Noops will be assigned floaties and begin their voyage overseas. They'll be sippin' mai tais and pina coladas while gettin' caught in the waves, and we estimate they should arrive by the tail end of December/early January! TW: Inside out Noopy carcasses pictured below :P
Kandi has been stuffed!
Batty is preparing for filling!
BonBon is preparing for filling!
Pinky is preparing for filling!
Gloomy Bear Costumes are finished!
Next Steps: I have been working on getting the shipping fees mapped out for all orders. Backers should be able to view their surveys and see what their anticipated shipping fees will be. If you need help finding your survey you can use this site here. Be sure to use the email you filled out your backerkit survey in, or login to backerkit for best success!
Right now, my estimated date that I will begin processing payment methods for shipping fees is around December 2nd. This will give time for folks who's payment method fails time to remedy them. Address Locks will not be until closer to January, and backers will be notified by Backerkit and prompted to update or make any last revisions to their addresses before being locked down. You are still able to update and make changes to your address at any time until that lock-down goes into effect.
CANADA POST STRIKE: As of this morning I have been notified about Canada Post going on strike, ultimately resulting in a complete freeze of all shipments outbound and inbound to Canada. Unfortunately, this does affect my backers as I intend to use Asendia which utilizes USPS and Canada Post. My hope is this Strike will end before we begin shipping orders in January. However, should that not be the case, Canada customers will have the opportunity to switch their shipping method to UPS. Please note however this has a caveat that there will be import duties due that are out of my control. If you are curious about your shipping options for UPS, just let me know and I can give you your options and your estimates.
Cat Collars have arrived! They're so cute! If you preordered one of these, please send me pictures once they're on your pet! I'd love to see them!
