Frustrating Update
Hello friends,
I'm unfortunately here with a frustrating update.
It's come to my attention that my sales rep is no longer with my pin manufacturer. We've been assigned a new s...
Sorry for the radio silence. We've been real busy trying to get everything fulfilled. Here's a quick breakdown of where we're at.
Ordering / Production All pins have been ordered. As you may recall, I made the decision to submit and approve of the pins one design at a time because our manu representative was replaced, and we were seeing a lot of mistakes just in the proofing process. But I'm happy to announce that all pins have been submitted, approved, paid for, and are in varying degrees of production. I expect to see the Peachy Pin and mini pins soon, remaining pins a couple weeks after that, and the community teddy bear pin was submitted last.
I tried to prioritize the most popular designs, so we can fulfill more orders sooner.
Fulfillment If your pledge consisted of only adhd, asd, gd, or ocd - then your pledge has been packed and shipped already. If you fall into this group and you haven't seen your order yet, please reach out to us via email so we can sort that out for you. admin @ arledgecomics.com
If your pledge does not fall into that group, then we're waiting on pins. Our estimated completion date is July 2025.
We've had a couple of delays, and just for transparency's sake, I want to outline those: The free Peachy Pins should have been here by now! But they and the mini dice pins were delayed in customs, and there's been some disruptions - unfortunately - due to the political climate in the US. There was a whole day or two where the USPS wasn't accepting inbound packages from China (where most enamel pin manus are located) - which is just one example of shipping delays! But tracking has updated, and we should have those in-hand very soon.
I'm also late on my update to y'all. I strive to update all of my campaigns at least every other month, and I dropped the ball there. Sorry! I'm sure most of you noticed that Pintopia 2025 was much earlier than 2024. So instead of having a year to prepare, I had... less than that. Haha. So I was a little underwater for a little bit, trying to balance everything. Please know that the lack of update did not mean lack of progress. I'm very sorry for the delay in updating, and I appreciate those of you just posting and requesting an update!
Your next update will be early/mid May. In that update, I will have new photos of pins and fulfillment updates. I'm scheduled to have surgery next week, so I appreciate your patience until the next update.
The next batch of designs is currently in production, and like the previous, I'll post some photos when we've got them.
The first round of fulfillment has been completed! We're fulfilling orders as we're able, based on the pins that have come in already. You should see tracking numbers now!
I'll be back next month with another update. As always, please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions.
Oh, that photo is real crispy. It's late, so appreciate this raw and unfiltered photo.
Additional pins are currently on our way to us, and more are currently in production. We'll be posting updates as we go. Our plan is to fulfill orders in waves. So anyone who got just the ADHD pin (or ADHD pin and any add-ons already in stock, such as a mystery pin), will see shipping labels start to generate.
If you've been lurking and waiting to see the pins, now's your chance to run over to our preorder store and get yours!
Pintopia 3 is coming up early next year. I'm still working on my teaser page, but my sister (and collaborator for Pintopia 3!) has hers up and ready to go. Check it out, and tell us what collab designs you'd like to see. [Link right here~]
The d2 ADHD, d4, ASD, and two d20 pin designs are officially in production!! Once we have some preview photos, I'll be popping back in here to show them off.
I'm working on the next round of proofs now. Since the designs are all similar, I'm hoping this process smooths out from here. :) We'll be shipping out orders as pins are available, and I'll post another update once shipping has begun.
I'm sorry for the wait, but we've got progress!
Also, if you're looking for some more pins - have you checked out Booktopia? A number of projects are featuring some cool pin designs. Like this one!
