I did not ask for a refund but just that the add-ons be sent since they are available for purchase in the 78 shop. I received a lovely response from Katie saying yes, they would be sent. When I hadn't received them I email Katie again just asking if they were sent. If so, then they were lost in the mail. If not then they aren't lost. I never received a reply. I am also not wanting to stir up anything but thought you deserved an answer.

PROJECT UPDATE

Project Update: Finally some good news :)

Hello everyone,

Finally, some really good news!

I’m excited to share that I’m shifting back to fulfilling orders myself. This is a huge step forward. It immediately cuts down the biggest ongoing costs around storage and shipping and gives me direct control again, which means the project can start moving forward in a much simpler, more hands-on way.

When 78 Tarot was smaller, I handled fulfillment myself. As it grew, that became too much to manage alongside being a full-time mother, which is why we moved to a fulfillment center. Being able to return to self-fulfillment now feels like coming back to the heart of how this all began and allows me to move forward steadily and sustainably.

Looking ahead, my goal is to move printing to the United States. U.S. printing is more expensive and doesn’t offer the same bells and whistles as overseas production, so current projects still in production overseas and future editions may have simpler packaging than the elaborate boxes we’ve done in the past. While that’s a shift, it brings much-needed stability and reliability, especially right now.

In the past, we worked with a printer in China because it allowed us to keep costs lower and pay our artists more. One of the challenges of overseas production is that recovering funds can be difficult, which is part of what I’m navigating as I make careful, forward-looking decisions.

Most importantly, thank you. Your patience, encouragement, and belief in 78 Tarot truly mean everything to me. Even in uncertain times, I’m not giving up. I’m committed to seeing this through and moving forward with care, gratitude, and determination.

Thank you so much for being here. I’m incredibly grateful.

So, I'd like to ask here in the community tab, and I promise I'm not trying to start drama – if I ask directly for a refund, if I send an email with a request, will that request be honored? Has anyone asked for a refund? I just feel atp like I'd like to put my funds towards other projects since it seems unlikely this one will be moving forward any time soon.

I am commenting because this was my first project. I know it’s been delayed due to tariffs. It’s been a really awful experience. Can I pay my own tariffs? I paid for the project, then the shipping and there has been no movement. At this point I am willing to cover my own tariffs. I did not have any intentions to make a donation to a project. I would like to know what my options are to get the project or back this project. I am commenting with the upmost respect. I have been painted and I do appreciate the updates; but I want the product I ordered. The ten year anniversary was in 2024. Where can I go from here? I would like to offer paying for my tariffs if China can send them out to individuals. I am asking before contacting my financial institution. Thank you in advance.

PROJECT UPDATE

Project Update: Monthly Project Update

Hello everyone,

This is the scheduled monthly update.

Production for this project remains paused due to current U.S. import tariffs, which continue to make manufacturing financially unviable. There has been no change in tariff conditions since the last update, and I do not have the personal funds to move forward under current costs.

I want to address communication as well. While questions are understandable, repeated pressure, hostile comments, or personal attacks are not acceptable and do not change the situation. This project is being handled responsibly, and harassment will not speed up production.

I am actively monitoring conditions and will move forward as soon as manufacturing becomes viable. There is no new information to share at this time.

The next update will be posted next month, or sooner if circumstances change.

Thank you to those who continue to communicate respectfully and patiently.

Kayti
