Project Update: Next Steps: Prepping Files

Hi Everyone!

Just a quick recap since I've had a few backers contact me via social media, about the status of things. I'm not going to have too many updates for a few weeks at least since this is more of a file prep time period, but I can also show you the breakdown of what we lost/are missing from the campaign funds:

  • Cards were charged for the LIVE campaign:  9 cards were declined, and we're missing $345 
 
  • Cards were charged after the campaign for shipping and extras applied during the survey: 15 cards were declined, and we're missing $556

Please double check your email to see if you've received notice of a decline. Sorry to sound like a broken record, but I realized that some backers assumed that the amount raised, is the actual amount charged. This is just a natural occurrence that happens for all campaigns. Backerkit will do their best to remind backers, but they can only do so much, and they are not responsible for paying for those losses on the behalf of backers. I've actually had someone assume that as well, so I think it's good to make sure that we're all on the same page.

I am moving ahead with the order. I'm currently prepping the files to send to the manu, and I'll be paying them tomorrow now that the remaining funds have transferred over.



We have a timeline on the main page, and we're currently still on schedule. *high fives all around*

*After pins are completed, shipped to me, and backer orders have been shipped out, you will have 30 days after the last pin has been shipped to complete your survey and payment. I do this because I live in an apartment, and I can't keep product with a very limited amount of space. The longest someone has waited to complete and contact me about their order was 3 1/2 years later. O_O Please... don't do this. *sobs*

**Newly unlocked pins in the Pre-Order Store cannot be swapped out for the pins that were unlocked during the LIVE campaign. Once the surveys go out to backers, making changes to it can cause issues that affect everyone on the campaign*

And sidenote, if you're interested in Mermaids or Dragons, I have two new campaigns coming up in May and June, and one in October for new Ghoulfriends.  I normally don't do this many in a year, but with everything going on, I don't know how long I'll be able to have enamel pins made. Not to be a worrywart or anything but just planning ahead.
