It's been a sweltering month here in the Southwest USA, with oven-like temperatures and no rain for months, but it's nothing new to us--we just call it "June." The summer rains are coming, and relief is on the way (we hope!). As for Han Cluster...
Locking Surveys
The last day to make final updates to your order is Tuesday, July 1st. On Wednesday the 2nd, we will lock your reward selections and charge cards for add-on item purchases, pledge upgrades, and pre-orders. You can update your shipping address up until we lock addresses for shipping, which won't happen for several months (see timeline below).
This step is necessary in order to deliver digital files for add-ons and pre-orders, as we need to collect payment before we deliver those files. If you haven’t answered your survey yet, and especially if you have a PHYSICAL REWARD as part of your order, we still need you to do it so we have your shipping address and you can pay for any taxes due, as well as shipping charges when we charge them closer to the physical delivery date (again, see timeline below). You can still fill out your BackerKit survey later by asking us to manually unlock yours, but you will not receive any digital rewards for add-ons until you do, and if you wait too long, your shipment of physical items may be delayed.
Reminders Sent!
We sent out reminders to those who haven't completed their surveys along with this update, so please check your emails!
Beyond that, if you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://han-cluster.backerkit.com.

THANK YOU
Thank you all again for all the backer feedback over the last couple months, and for being so responsive to answering our BackerKit survey—even though it may not seem like much as an individual backer, you have no idea how tremendously helpful this has been for us when trying to keep track of all of you!
