Hello! Popping in for another update! The cat bags have finished their quality control inspection and have officially been packaged and shipped to the United States! The sea shipment will actually be faster than previously expected so the bags are expected to arrive in the United States in early December.
As mentioned in my last post, I will be using a US-based fulfillment company for this crowdfund. There are over 130 bags that must be shipped to everyone and I am one individual. After fulfilling other crowdfunds this year, it has become just too difficult for me to do on my own efficiently anymore. Because of the upcoming holidays, especially the weeks between Christmas and New Year's Eve, delays will be expected so it is possible the bags might not complete fulfillment until January 2026. We will try our best for December but just please be aware this is a possibility, and be understanding to all of the warehouse and postal workers who will be working at maximum capacity this season.
So because the bags are completed and will be ready for shipment soon, it's time to charge for shipping in Backerkit. The fulfillment company gave me quotations so I will begin organizing the shipping fees and sending out the new Backerkit surveys within the next week or so. You'll be able to finalize your order, add any extra bags you may want, and finalize your shipping address. I had talked to a few people before about their shipping addresses so please know you'll be able to update your address very soon. Again, US customers will not have to pay additional tariffs because the shipments will be sent from within the US.
That's it for now, please let me know if you have any questions, thanks!
