I've been neck-deep in plushies, and QCing and fluffing each of them up for their new homes takes time. But great news: I've already shipped 100 of the 217 orders!
I still have some plushies left over, so please consider adopting one or more if you'd like. You can get them on my BigCartel Shop. They're still at their preorder prices, so please take them home!
Please note that sometimes it can take time for a shipping label to update, so please be patient. The only people packing your orders are me and my boyfriend, so admittedly, this is taking longer than I anticipated because I can only pack around 10-20 orders per day. These orders are all a bit complex and are not simply "toss in bag and seal," so I appreciate everyone for your understanding.
On a separate note, I will be emailing the people who added the 10% off shop coupon to their order. Please be sure to check your email later so you don't miss it!
Once again, thank you all for your patience. When you get your plushies, please use the #veryhuggablesofties hashtag and also tag me on socials @jupy314!
Great news: Three (3) of the eleven (11) boxes of Softies have arrived, and I will begin to prepare for fulfillment!
This means that you must confirm if your shipping address is still correct. Please do so immediately. I will also be sending out a final reminder, so kindly check your emails today and in the next few days.
I hope everyone is as excited as I am, because we're in the final stretch. Thank you so much for your patience, and I hope you love your Softie(s) when you receive them!
The Very Huggable Softies! From left to right: Channelle, Casey, Cherry, Buster, and Trixie!
Well, we're at the final stretch where we are simply waiting for the plushies to come from the factory to me, and the wait is currently (almost) halfway over!
All of the plushies shipped in mid-June, and because it takes 35-40 days for the ship to reach American ports, we're ready to begin our countdown to fulfillment!
Please trust me when I say that I want to have everything shipped out as soon as I can to all of you, because my anxiety makes me so worried about making everyone wait.
I hope everyone has been well, and once again, if you haven't already, please consider joining the Very Huggable Softies Discord server. This is the place where you can have direct access to me and ask questions any time. I want to make myself always available to you, so you're not left in the dark about anything.
I hope everyone has been well! I know it's been a bit quiet these days, as QC had been ongoing and shipping quotes took a few more days than I expected to settle, but I have great news:
All Very Huggable Softies plushies are now preparing for shipment from China to me! They will be headed to the U.S. early next week (the soonest available shipping boat), and it will take approximately 35-40 days from then to arrive at my doorstep.
Thank you all so much for your patience, and I can't wait for them to arrive so you can take them home.
Please remember that you can still preorder them from my Backerkit Preorder Store, or directly from my BigCartel shop. Please note that my BigCartel is just as secure, and also helps me save 5% on fees, so your understanding is greatly appreciated!
As a reminder, I may not always see comments left on my updates here, but you are free to join the Very Huggable Softies Discord server so you can stay in touch and up-to-date about all my shenanigans.
I bring a fun update! We have production photos of ALL the Softies! All plushies are now in final stages before completion, and I've requested my manufacturer to extensively QC all of them for me. I trust my manu wholeheartedly and am so excited we're almost at the final stretch.
Once QC is complete (it should take around a week or so, bar any delays), they will be shipped and on their way to me. Shipping will be via sea freight, which can take anywhere from 30-45 days, depending on how badly the ports in the U.S. are backed up due to the tariff situation. Though Trump has "temporarily delayed" tariffs against China, things are not entirely fixed. We are still experiencing a lot of awful consequences, which unfortunately is out of everyone's control.
Without further ado, let's check out the photos!
Thank you again for all of your patience and support. I can't wait for everything to finally be shipped so we can all count down towards their arrival!
Thank you all once again, and see you next update!
