Good evening, bird gang! I hope you've had a peaceful weekend. I sure haven't.

GAP pins are taking flight! By the end of tonight, 47% of GOLDEN AGE PARROTS will be either on porches, in the mail, or ready to drop off at the post office tomorrow.

Have you gotten yours, or a notification about yours yet? Chances are, if you're in the A-C part of the alphabet, your pins are either at your house, or will be Monday or Tuesday. D-K's are packed up and should start moving tomorrow afternoon. If you don't have tracking yet, or your tracking hasn't moved by tomorrow, feel free to reach out to me.

Sorry we don't have more out. A lot of you are named Elizabeth, Heather and Jennifer. Naming trends kill, people. Maybe give your kids real names, like Sephiroth or Michael the Dragon.

I'm going to go get a third coffee, and see how many more of these I can get out. There's a small chance we'll have all domestic orders marked for shipping by the end of tonight, so, if you're further down the alphabet and you get a notification, it's not an error. Otherwise, they'll start tomorrow.

We're going to have all GAP orders (without payment or item issues) out by the middle of this week. This includes international backers.

I have a bored friend who needs something to do now that the semester's over, so we're gonna crunch fulfillment in order to do a full shop inventory tomorrow. KEN'S PIN HUSTLE will have most items unavailable for up to a week.

That being said... it's not ALL items. I'll have something a little special set up :)

So, BlueSky followers and private Telegram huddle members know we've been having an adventure with b-grade pins. We are rocking far, far higher than average rates for defective stock. While this isn't OK, the factory has admitted fault and will be replacing all of the defective pins at no cost to me.

Shipping logistics in this brave new world of bullshit are still up in the air, but I do not need to send pins back. This means I have over 500 defective pins. Yay!

Starting tomorrow morning, I will have 40 $10 mystery 2" pins listed on the HUSTLE. This cost includes shipping, since I'm being cheap and slapping all these bad boys in normal letter mail.

After store inventory, B-grade 2" pins will be $12-13 depending on their flaw, so this is a good chance to get something cheap and fulfill your love for gambling without going into debt. I have B-grade stock of all 2" designs, so, you could get any bird!

Want to try your luck? I'll post the link tomorrow, along with what fulfillment progress I made tonight.

Let's check in tomorrow - enjoy the rest of your Sunday, and take it easy this week!
