Project Update: Survey Is Out!
Hey all!
Just wanted to let you know, the backerkit survey is out! And production has started. (if you need a link to the survey try here https://baby-bestiary-2025-calendar.backerkit.com/)
We're doing something a little different this year, we're going to have the manufacturer of the calendars ship directly to the backers, this should cut down our processing time quite a bit, almost 2-3 weeks, since now our warehouse doesn't have to receive, get packaging, print labels, and ship each calendar..so this will be a great time save (assuming things go well). The tradeoff is two-fold:

We're doing something a little different this year, we're going to have the manufacturer of the calendars ship directly to the backers, this should cut down our processing time quite a bit, almost 2-3 weeks, since now our warehouse doesn't have to receive, get packaging, print labels, and ship each calendar..so this will be a great time save (assuming things go well). The tradeoff is two-fold:
- We'll need your survey filled out/addresses pretty quickly, (this is mostly my fault in getting things up and running.)
- Our manufacturer does not do stickers, which means we'll be shipping them out to you separately separately.
stickers can be found in the survey and are in packs of 1,3,5,10 (tried to make it easy for what you need).
As for timing...in order for me to get addresses to the manufacturer (to not prevent any delays), it would be nice to have your surveys filled out by Thursday Oct 31st. Granted most typically fill in the survey in the first three days, but this will allow me to get a first wave of shipments going with the manufacturer. Ideally after that point, I can get the remaining submitted on Nov 4th. From there, it really depends on how fast the manufacturer ships. My guess is, after the full shipments go out they'll ship the remaining to our warehouse and our warehouse will then process any remaining shipments from that point on (and they will have a faster turnaround because there will be ~20 orders that might fall behind), as opposed to slating out and shipping 800.
Thats all for now, and thank you so much for the feedback on the calendar!
