Fulfillment Update!
Hey monster lovers!
I'm so sorry for the delay in getting a new update out to all of you. Between having a convention at the beginning of July & moving immediately afterwards &...
Exciting update this evening: All remaining orders have been packaged and are ready to ship out! The last ~40 or so packages are being picked up by USPS tomorrow.
Please give at least 1-2 weeks for domestic orders and 2-4 weeks for international orders to arrive before reaching out with issues. If you experience issues with delivery, you may reach out to me here.
Since this will likely be my last update for this campaign, I wanted to once more say THANK YOU so much for your incredible support on this campaign, and also your patience with me as I was quite slow with getting things fulfilled.
I will be marking this project as 'closed' in one week, on November 14th. Anyone who hasn't filled out their survey by then will forfeit their pledge with no refund, as is outlined on the campaign page.
And that's it for Monster Match! Thanks so much!!
But before you go:
My newest enamel pin set BloodLust is still going strong, with 1 week left! There's still time to pledge for it if you haven't already. Returning backers get a free 5x7 foil mini print as thanks for being repeat customers!
I know it's been a minute, nearly a month...sheesh Where does the time go?
So, I'm here with another update! As you have probably guessed, there has been another slight delay. This delay is my own doing.
The closer I got to fulfillment, the more I realized how much it was bothering me that I decided not to do backing cards for this set. They just felt incomplete without them.
So after a lot of hemming and hawing and discussions with my spouse, I bit the bullet and decided to do backing cards after all.
Usually, this would have added probably another 2-3 months to my timeline, but with the help of my husband, family, and friends, we were able to get all the pins graded, backed, and packaged without compromising the October fulfillment deadline!
With that done, I can finally start shipping packages out - for real this time!
Once your package is shipped, you will receive a tracking number, so keep an eye out in your email for that over the next couple weeks.
Thank you all for your continued patience - I'm trying very hard to balance fulfillment for this campaign with prepping for my next campaign, BloodLust, which is launching THIS MONTH on Halloween, Oct. 31st!
Hello! I went to go and change my address for my order. I'm moving out of my current apartment in the beginning of November. Would I be able to change it to my next apartment?
I do apologize for how long it's taking these pins to get shipped out. I'm aware that many other Pintopia creators have already finished fulfilling, and your patience with my project is greatly appreciated!
I had been in the process of grading all the pins, but I'm learning just how much I despise doing that - it's tedious and time consuming and I admittedly tend to procrastinate on it. ^_^;;
So I decided not to grade all of them at once like I usually do, and try a new method where I will grade them as I fulfill each package. This will allow me to start shipping sooner, and hopefully will take less time in the long run.
This means that I will be locking addresses starting this coming Monday, Sept. 23rd. On Monday you will receive a notification in your email about it, and after that you will have 48 hours to make any last minute changes to your shipping address.
UK/EU Backers:
I want to thank you folks for being patient with this project! I will be emailing each of you the link to your custom Etsy listing with your order right after sending this update, and I ask that you go ahead and purchase the listing at your earliest convenience after receiving it.
If you have any issues purchasing your listing, please reach out at the email chain we already have going.
That's it for fulfillment updates, but I wanted to notify you all of one more thing - I have a new project in the works!
BloodLust: Vampire Enamel Pins
BloodLust is my next enamel pin set, inspired by vampires, gothic aesthetics, and sensuality. The set will be 6 pins all featuring original vampire artwork! You can find out more, see the pin WIPs, and sign up for project updates by visiting the project teaser page here:
I've teamed up with 5 other artists for this spooky cross collaboration: Vile Worm, UltraInfinite, Royarach, MaybelsArt, and Foxpirate! Each of us is launching a new set of spooky themed pins from vampires to cryptids and other creepy delights. Make sure to check them out too~!
BloodLust will launch this coming Halloween, October 31st!
And that's all for this update - Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!
Sorry for the short notice, I got a bit sidetracked over the weekend and didn't get the chance to announce a stream date/time for the unboxing, so I'm doing it now!
Since today is Labor Day in the USA I figured it was the best time to do an unboxing even with short notice, since a lot of folks have today off.
I will be starting the stream in about 1 hour from posting this, at 3pm Central Time (1pm Pacific/2pm Mountain/4pm Eastern).
I will be opening up all the pins and giving viewers a first look at them.
As before with streams, you can either watch it directly on my Twitch channel at https://twitch.tv/holoraindrops or you can watch the stream on the main campaign page once it goes live.
