Welcome to the last week of August! ALL SHIPMENTS ARE COMPLETE.

That's right, every single one of ya'lls order has been packed and sent out within the longest 7 days of my life. I was packing anywhere between 20-30 packages a day and then throwing them at my local postal worker who, by day 5, was sick of seeing me.

He was very happy to hear that the packages today were the last ones. What a workout!

Now I am not deaf, I hear you guys yelling from the rooftops,

I've contacted my postal service last week but havent't heard anything back. They're being silent about this and the EU is fighting back the vague explanation of tariffs from the USA's side. Today is the 25th, the supposed cut off day. Will things arrive before the 29th? I couldn't tell you. This new policy came into effect over night with zero explanation, zero time to prepare, zero infrastructure, just prayers that the law will bend into submission. I'm sure some of you who follow me on Bluesky have seen some of my rambles on the situation.

TLDR; I've no idea what's happening. I don't want to tell you all something and then have it end up being incorrect. But we should all have our fingers crossed everything arrives fine and dandy.

The fees for Ireland should be 15%. If you do get  import fees, it would be calculated as such:
ITEM COST + SHIPPING COST x 15% = IMPORT FEE

I did my best to minimise import fees if you do get hit with them as well.

That said, the majority of orders Do Not Have Tracking. If your order page and email doesn't direct you to a tracking page, you do not have tracking. I can't magic tracking out of thin air. Most things were sent using a digital stamp, and all I will know is if it arrived to the airplane postal depot.
The good news is that some of the mail I sent out last week that IS tracked has already arrived at the US border, and is more than likely being processed by customs. That is quite a fast turnaround compared to the usual time it takes.

So when will your mail arrive if you're in the US?
Soon, I would hope. And without too much delay. But because of the current sporadic situation I ask you to give your mail 2 months to arrive in case your customs offices are absolutely swamped with mail. Usually mail takes about 3 weeks to arrive, but if something gets caught by customs- which is common enough- it can take longer to be released. Especially now. If I get any returns, I will contact you through email immediately.

TO THE PEOPLE I CONTACTED ABOUT MY POSTAL SERVICE DENYING YOUR SHIPPING ADDRESS...
I have kept all the failed mail until the end so I could cross reference what issue was between all of them. And in the end it was the stupid glitch I've ever seen in my life. The post site hates the abbreviation of Oregon. I don't know why. I don't know how. I fixed the issue by typing out the entire state name. Your mail went through just fine now.

IF YOU HAVE ANY ISSUES....
I think Backerkit added a way to message creators now, I will see if that is something that's enabled. If you can't find the option to do that, you can email me with any quieries, questions and problems to [email protected]

If you're in the EU, UK, or anywhere else in the world: you're fine. You've nothing to worry about. EU orders are starting to show up in people's hands already.

When you do get your orders, please feel free to tag me on instagram or bluesky so I know your items are safe and sound with you!

Now enough with the sadness and worrying...

I cannot express enough how much love and appreciation I have for all you backers, friends, and fellow creators who supported me through every step of the way. From sharing the project, giving design advice, participating in polls, to helping with the backend so everything goes as smoothly as possibly. Truly, thank you. Thank you all so much <3

This is hopefully not the first and not the last project I ever do. I'm already planning a new campaign for Pintopia in January of 2026, with a perhaps smaller scope to this one, and I will update you all here once that project launches.

Thank you all again <3

Find my on social media if you'd like! Or in person at Irish conventions <3
