Project Update: Quick survey update!



Hello cool cats!!
 
I've had a few of you reach out to me with concerns for wanting the 'going postal' pin but it not being included in the survey. This is entirely my fault that it's not available for those who just backed medium pins. I had intended it to be included in the surveys for only the tiers it was a part of and I don't think I was clear on that. I do apologize for the misunderstanding and inconvenience. 

I can't go through and redo the survey questions to include this pin without having to reset everyone's surveys and have you all fill them out again. If you would like to replace one of your medium pins from the survey with the 'Going Postal' pin, please email me at [email protected]. Include the name of the pin you want to trade out, your name on backerkit and the email you use for backerkit. This way I can make sure I have your survey and no one elses. 
To be clear this is not getting the pin as a freebie. This is replacing another medium pin from the survey. 

_______

There are still about 24 surveys out that I'm waiting on, which is great! I'll be locking orders on March 19th, which is about 12 days from now. Please be sure to get those filled out ASAP!

Please also double check to see that your payments have gone through. 
_______

If you have any questions please reach out to me via the email above and I'll get to you as soon as I can! 
I apologize again for the inconvenience,
-Fox

Project Update: Surveys, add-ons, pre-order store - oh my!



Hey cool cats!!

Sending out a little update for Surveys!

The smoke tests went out late on Thursday and the ones that I've gotten back so far are looking correct. I'm still waiting on a few more, so please be sure to check your spam folders and junk email's just in case!
I'll be out for the majority of today doing irl life stuff so I'll probably send out the rest of the surveys on Sunday. Unless I find some major issue that needs to be fixed, which doesn't look likely.

PLEASE keep an eye out for the surveys over the next few days as I can't stress enough how important they are!! Fill them out ASAP. The sooner those are filled out, the sooner I can get my manufactures the go ahead with production, and the sooner you don't have to worry about them anymore. 

Without your survey completed I can NOT send you your rewards! 


When do I get charged for my survey add-ons?
Survey add-ons will get charged along with shipping later on after your order has been locked. I will be sending out more updates the closer we get to that time so you will know when it's going to happen. I currently don't have the exact date for when that'll be but once I have all the pins in hand, I can start that process.

Pay Over Time Backers
A reminder for those who used Pay Over Time, You won't be getting your surveys until you have paid in full. Once your order is completely paid for your survey will be sent to you within 48 hours or so.

Should you have any questions that can't be found in the FAQs, don't hesitate to reach out to me at [email protected]
I'll be sure to update again once I send out all the surveys, just so you're aware they're sent!

Pre-order store
For those who missed out on the campaign or know someone who wanted to back but missed out, the pre-order store is live! The pre-order store also has limited items from past campaigns as well! So be sure to check it out and share with a friend!   PRE-ORDER STORE
Backers do not need to use the pre-order store. This will be available through your survey!!

That's it for today's update! 
Thanks for your continued support and patience,

Project Update: slowly moving forward



Hello cool cats!

It's been great seeing all the updates for those errored cards! There are still a few of you that need to fix your payments. So please, PLEASE, go double check to make sure your payments have gone through. 

I've been working hard on getting the surveys ready and I think they're just about there! I'm going to give them another look over, or two, before I send out the smoke tests, which I plan to send those out on Thursday!!

Smoke tests get sent out to only a few backers to complete. Once those are filled out, I can see if there are any corrections I'll need to make to the surveys. If all goes well, then I'll send out the rest!! Those will need to get filled out ASAP. This is how I know what to send you and where!! 

I'm hoping, and itching, to get in contact with my manufacturer soon, as they've been out on CNY holiday, Though I won't know how much to order until I've gotten surveys back, again please fill those out as soon as possible, I want to at least give them the designs to look over. 

Just wanted to send this little update to you. I'm excited to get those surveys out and get this ball rolling!!
Thank you for your support and patience,
-Fox

Project Update: Errored & failed payments



Hello cool cats!!

Happy to report things are going pretty smoothly as I build up the survey for you all! I'm also making sure that the add on store is full of options for you to include pins from past campaigns. It's been a lot of work but that's a-ok!

Failed/errored payments
I wanted to jump in here though and let you know there are almost 20 failed/errored payments. There is still some time before I'm ready with the surveys, but I thought letting you know early would give you a better jump on fixing those! 

  • So please check to see if your pledge has gone through and if it hasn't, please fix that asap. 
  • If you're thinking 'I'm good I don't need to check', please do so anyway. It never hurts to be 100% sure.
  • The quicker and smoother this all goes, the faster I can get those surveys out and thus get these pins off to the manufacturer! 

The add-on store
As a backer, you don't need to visit this store. You'll be getting access to all these things in the survey! 
Though if you know someone who's missed out and wants to have a second chance at grabbing a pin or two, send them to the campaign page. They should be able to get to the add on store from there. 


Again, there is still a bit of time before the surveys are ready, but the sooner those payments are fixed, the faster the process can go. I'm hoping to get those surveys out by the end of next week and it is mandatory that they are filled out asap. The survey gives me the item counts I need to make sure your order has exactly what you want in it. 

Thanks for checking on that and for your continued support! Back to work with me!
Cheers, 
-Fox

Project Update: We made it to the end! + more!



Hey cool cats!! 

We reached the campaign's end!! We got so close to fully funding everything, coming in just shy of unlocking the last two pins! But no worries cause I'll have those up in the pre-order shop as well as in the add-ons in your surveys when they go out. Hopefully we'll get those unlocked that way and bring our Purrmes and Pspsps into the pin collection! (I want Purrmes so bad!!) 

We also were just shy of hitting the 150 backer goal to get the freebie sticker, Garfield. But no worries, I'll have him up in the pre-order/add-ons as well. He won't be a freebie, but at least he'll be available!! 

Regardless of coming in just shy of our last goals, I still had a lot of fun with this campaign and with building Purrmess together. I can't say it enough how fun it was to do that and I already have ideas for how to do a similar thing in my next campaign! I'm already so excited to get started in planning it! 

Now moving on to important post-campaign things!

What's next?? 

Payment processing:
  • Backerkit will take the next few days to collect the funds. You'll get an email on whether your pledge was processed or not, so PLEASE make sure your payment method is up to date.
  • If it wasn't, please get that corrected ASAP please and thank you! 

Surveys = MANDATORY
Over the next couple of weeks you'll be getting your survey from me through Backerkit. You'll need to fill this out to let me know what pins you'll want to receive as your reward.

 You be able to:
  • Fill this out ASAP. Without the survey completed I canNOT complete your order. I need this information to send you your rewards!!
  • Fill out your shipping information
  • Have the chance to add more items to your order via the add-on store. 
  • Shipping and any other add-ons you may want will be processed at this time. This is a separate charge from the pledge itself. 
  • Those who have used Pay Over Time will receive their surveys once the balance is paid in full. 


Pre-Order Store
  • Backers don't visit the store! All the items will be in your survey to choose from and will save you from being charged twice on shipping. 
  • Those who haven't backed yet still have the chance to do so through the pre-order store while it's open. So if you know someone who missed out or wanted to pledge, send them to the campaign page. They'll be able to get to the store from there.  

After Surveys timeline
  • After the surveys are all completed I can get a count of how much to order of each item. 
  • I'm hoping to start ordering as soon as possible. Many manufacturers are currently on holiday. So when they're back I'll be able to start.  
  • I'll get to ordering all the add-ons that still need to be made
  • Once everything is in hand, then I can start shipping them to you! 
  • Again, timeline can vary depending on delays and manufacturing but I'm hoping to have these sent out around June/July. 

Reminders
  • Once orders are locked, about 30 days after the end of the campaign, refunds will no longer be accepted. 
  • Surveys that are not filled out and completed will forfeit your rewards and will not be eligible for refunds. 
  • Please see my FAQ/Disclaimers section for more details on this. 


    I am always humbled and grateful to you for your support. I know I keep saying this, because it's always true, but I truly could not do this without you. You make these pins possible and I will always be thankful for that. I will continue to work hard to bring you more fun things to bring your life joy. 

Talk again soon,
-Fox
