Good afternoon, gang!

Not the most fun one here - I have confirmation from the factory that we will not be seeing pins shipped until the end of June. When we factor DDP delivery times in, it is unlikely they will arrive until at least the second week of July.

A few designs have needed remakes, and this is a gigantic order with a lot to get through. Delays were never out of the picture, but, unfortunately, this does confirm some disappointing news.

I will not have pins here in time for Anthrocon pickup. If you're going to go make your furry pilgrimage this year, your CHALLENGE COIN CRITTER pins will not get to go home with you.

Because this was almost, kind of, hopefully possible until today, I don't mind comping shipping for you. If you opted for AC pickup, you will be getting an email to make sure this message gets to you, and you'll get your guys sent to you at no charge. I am sorry for the inconvenience here.

If I can't have pins for July 3rd, I definitely can't have them in June. Our July 21st WNY pickup also cannot happen without pins. Same deal, you guys will get an email from me shortly with some alternate options. I would prefer not to ship these at my expense, since half of you are a zipcode away from me, so, we'll figure something out.

Silver lining, this means we do have a clearer timeline of when pins will arrive and we can start the next steps. Grading will begin (with no Anthrocon rush, thank fuck!) as soon as C3 coins set foot on my doorstep, and we can expect the earliest order bracket to start shipping just days after.

Are you in that first bracket? Make sure your credit card on file's good! We had you guys for your last round of charges last week. Let's make sure those get covered so there's no delays.

I'm gonna go get those emails out to pickups, and go close up the job tonight. I'll check in with you next time I hear something.
