Hi friends,

Thank you all again for helping make this project happen! I've been busy prepping the print files for the stretch goals stickers, and I can't wait to get you guys your stickers!

Here's what's next in terms of the project fulfillment and what I'll need from you:

Payments: Any backers whose pledges didn't go through right away will have about two weeks to correct their payment information or follow up with their banks to make sure that the payment goes through if it was flagged as unusual. Once these two weeks are over, BackerKit will release the funds collected to me (minus their platform fee and the payment processing fees, around 10% total).

Surveys: You will receive an email in the next few weeks with a survey for the pledge manager. In this survey, you will be able to upgrade your pledge or add more add-ons if you wish, as well as select which bird stickers you want and provide your shipping address. Without your survey being filled out I will not be able to ship you your rewards!

Production and Fulfillment: After the survey deadline (about a week after they're sent out), I will put in the print order for the stickers. My manufacturer estimates a lead time of 10-21 business days. Once I receive the stickers, I will pack the orders and mail them out! With this timeline, I'm anticipating that the stickers will be mailed to you in July.

Communication: I will send regular updates like this one throughout the process, including when surveys go out, when I receive the stickers, and when I ship them. If you need any help with your pledge, first contact BackerKit support, as they will be more prompt in helping you. If you have any other questions, you can contact me at [email protected]. 

Thanks!

Hi friends,

The stickers are now in queue for printing with my manufacturer, I'm very excited! I should be receiving the stickers in mid-July, so they should still be shipped out to you in July.

Your orders are locked now, but if your mailing address has changed, you can still edit that in your surveys. Please make sure you've provided the correct mailing address!

A handful of you still have not filled out your surveys. A reminder that without your survey being filled out, I will not be able to ship you your rewards. Once fulfillment has begun, all remaining backers who have not yet filled out their surveys will have 30 days to complete and submit their surveys to receive their rewards, otherwise the pledge amount will be considered a donation to the campaign. So please get those filled out so I can get you your stickers! 

Thanks!

Hi friends,

If you've filled out your survey already, thank you! If not, this is a reminder that the survey is due this Wednesday, 6/11. Without your survey being filled out I will not be able to ship you your rewards! 

You can edit your order up until 6/13, which is when I'm going to be locking orders. You'll get a 48 hour email notice before your order locks. Then, I will be putting in the sticker order with my manufacturer. Currently we are still on track for delivery in July. 

Cheers!

Hi everyone,

I've just sent out the smoke test for surveys! This means about 5% of backers in each tier will get their survey to fill out today. If that goes without a hitch, the survey will be emailed to everyone else in the next day or so! Although you can go back and edit your survey, I encourage you to fill it out as soon as possible. In this survey, you will be able to upgrade your pledge or add more add-ons if you wish, as well as select which bird stickers you want and provide your shipping address. A reminder that without your survey being filled out I will not be able to ship you your rewards!

After the survey deadline (June 11), I will put in the order for the stickers. Currently we are still on track for delivery in July! 

Thanks for your support!

Hi everyone,

Since the campaign did so well, I decided to add a few more sticker design choices. Juvenile Eastern Bluebird, Black-crested Titmouse, House Finch, Carolina Wren, Red-tailed Hawk, Northern Mockingbird, and Violet-green Swallow are now available designs to choose from! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. 

Backer surveys will be sent out early next week, so keep an eye out for that email! You will have about a week to complete the survey, in which you will be able to upgrade your pledge or add more add-ons if you wish, as well as select which bird stickers you want and provide your shipping address. Without your survey being filled out I will not be able to ship you your rewards!

Thanks!
