Project Update: Majority of remaining orders shipping this week!

Hello everyone!

I will be getting the vast majority of remaining orders out tomorrow & Saturday!

The orders remaining contain one or multiple of the following pins:

Frederico Froggy
Chrome Sparkle Potion Pin Set
White Hat Cat
White Stretching Kitty
Rainbow Witch Hat

I realized while packing all the remaining orders as much as I can that some of (or all of) y'all might be totally fine with the rainbow witch hat, chrome sparkle pin set, and one or both cats as they are - regarding the chrome pin set, the reason I am getting it remade is...well...it's not chrome. But you might be ok with that! The rainbow witch hat glitter is not at all how it should be, but is the same as the potions - y'all might be totally fine with it (I believe some said they were anyway lol).

The kitties do ALL have some level of darker specks of glitter in them - however about ⅓ to half of the pins, at an arms length (which is typically how I grade pins) it's not really visible. The only reason I didn't stick to that grading mechanic is just because it was SO frustrating to have literally every single pin have some sort of flaw like that.

Unfortunately I was NOT sent the correct amount of the froggy pins (along with them being the incorrect size) and while I was able to fulfill some orders with the ones I had for those who were okay with it, but have reached a point of b-grades only. Since those are also being remade and I don't have enough even to fulfill orders, anyone remaining with a Frederico Froggy pin will have to wait until those come in. 

I will be sending an e-mail to everyone who has ordered either cat, rainbow hat, or chrome sparkle, however, with photos and video of the pins - PLEASE respond if you are okay or not okay with receiving these pins as they are, so that you can receive your orders sooner than later. The manu is STILL dragging their feet, and with it being CNY and many factories being closed, I don't anticipate hearing back from them for several weeks (despite being told pins would be done on time...). 

If I don't hear back from you I will assume you would rather wait, and will hold your package for the time being!

Some of you have ordered a LOT of other pins, as well - so for those of you with large orders, or who have combined Popsicle Panic shipments, I may go ahead and send your rewards in two shipments, covering the 2nd shipping cost myself. I am doing this partially so ease my own mind and get those items to you sooner, but it is depending on whether or not you have a lot of other items being held back by remake pins. I will reach out to these folks individually to let you know what's going on!

Thank you all so much for sticking with me through this all. This is unfortunately becoming a more common issue with manufacturers, but I hope that I can slog through the few dozen I've interacted with over the last 2 years to find those who will at least work at a reasonable pace and communicate a bit better!

E-mails will be forthcoming later today, once I've had a chance to gather everything together.
