Hey everyone, we're back with another fulfilment update. At this point we can break down everything by region so feel free to skip to your region below! 

As mentioned last update we secured space on a ship due to depart March 24. We successfully loaded 2 containers worth of pledges onto the COSCO DENMARK 058E which you can track here: https://www.vesselfinder.com/vessels/details/9516478. Unfortunately, this ship's timeline has shifted slightly and is now due to arrive in port April 18 instead of April 12. At that point containers will be unloaded, head through customs and to the distribution centre where they will be scanned into local postal systems.

As such, we expect your tracking to start receiving updates from between April 20-25, assuming we don't get delayed on unloading or going through customs. We'll provide some more updates shortly after we dock to ensure there's a clear view of the timeline upon arrival.

The Canadian vessel arrived on April 1st and the container is currently undergoing a routine customs inspection. As mentioned previously, all Canadian packages will need to be relabeled once they reach the distribution centre. At this point we will receive the tracking and upload it straight to BackerKit. As such, please make sure you keep your eye out for an email containing your tracking from BackerKit soon! Customs inspections usually take a couple of days, but can take longer depending on the current queue at the port. With any luck, many of you will start receiving your pledges within the next 2 weeks!

The vessel name we provided last time was unfortunately just the feeder ship which transferred the container to the final vessel bound for the UK. So if you've been following along with vessel finder, sorry for the confusion!

The final UK vessel name is the CMA CGM LOUVRE which you can track here: https://www.vesselfinder.com/vessels/details/9839143. It's due to arrive in port on April 23 after having to take the long way around Africa.

 

The final vessel name for European backers is EDITH MAERSK 412W which can be tracked here: https://www.vesselfinder.com/vessels/details/9321548. It is unfortunately not due to arrive until May 9. We're very sorry for this delay, but given the ongoing Red Sea Crisis trade lanes have been particularly difficult to find space on and once space is found it is a substantially delayed trip. As mentioned last time, the pledges will need to be relabeled once they arrive in Hamburg and as such we cannot provide tracking until then.

The Oceanic region has been sent via airfreight due to the low volume. As such, many have already received tracking and some lucky backers have had their pledge delivered already. These pledges will continue to be sent out in batches via airfreight as space becomes available and we will do our best to upload tracking numbers as quickly as possible. The local courier networks should also be sending you an email once they have your package, so make sure to stay on top of your emails. If you haven’t received your tracking yet, do not fret, we just need to do these in shipments in batches as space becomes available.

That's all the information we have for now. As always, we will be back with another update as soon as we have more information.
