Hey everyone!! So this Friday I do not work, so I will be spending the whole day working on packing orders with the intent to at least get 100 of them sent out Monday when post office opens back up!!
This will include order fixes, which I am working on getting tracking sent out to everyone during this week. Or at least as many as I can in the evenings. Takes about 5-10 min per email and shipping label I need to purchase/email tracking. So it is a slow process to get through everything but I am working through it.
I am also unhappy to share that it turns out that what I had thought were the other half of apricot raptors that had arrived was in fact blankets of other designs. When I went to go gather up all the boxes of the apricot to begin packing I found this out, since my storage unit people went ahead and put the boxes in my unit for me when they came. I have contacted the manufacturer about this because when checking the tracking it showed they still were 'on their way' in the same place they had been for weeks. The manufacturer contacted UPS and they said they should be hopefully arriving soon, as there was a customs issue and they are working on the paper work for it.
\I also will be reaching out to several international backers for shipping issues, I have no issue covering shipping when its like $52 or something similar instead of $45 like predicted. But some orders are over $250 for shipping due to the weight of everything so I will be reaching out to those backers to figure out what to do, because that is not something I can cover myself for over 20 different backers. I just do not have the extra income to do so, I will be sending out emails in the next few days
Just wanted to say the other apricots have all arrived! And I am in the process of working on printing all of the remaining labels for the orders left. SO if you have not yet got tracking, you will in the next day or two! However, there are also orders that do not include apricot also being printed out so dont panic if you havent gotten yours yet but did not get an apricot!
There are also order fixes going out alongside the apricot orders over the next two-three weeks! I am hoping that every single order will be sent out, or fixed, by the end of april!!
Also got several emails about the fossils, like stated previously I do not have enough for every order. So cases still are being sent out
If you also bakced paranormal pals, those will be arriving to me soon!
Wanted to share that the last of the orders are getting sent out tomorrow! (Minus like 12 that I need to get blankets and ita bags for from the storage unit that will go out Tuesday)
I also am going through emails, if there are any order issues please let me know!! I am planning to get any order fixes sent out within the next three weeks. And I am taking steps to make sure issues with orders don’t happen again, if I have anyone helping pack in the future will be double checking every single box to make sure it’s correct.
Also don’t forget that paranormal pals surveys lock in a week! If you backed make sure you go through and check your address before they lock!! I am planning to begin packing those end of May when the bulk order arrives!! The plan is to get all of those orders out within 3 weeks, streamlining the packing process. (Attempting to, with a new organization and assembly line for packing)
Pride pals also launches June 1st!! A short mini series filled with pride :) here’s a few sneak peaks of the samples for that campaign!
Hey, just want to pop in and say that every order not containing an apricot should be out by the end of this coming week!! Packing the past week or so has been slower than desired, just because life has been keeping me busy. But there are only around 73 orders left to pack!! Before apricot orders begin being packed.
That being said, I have gotten multiple emails from backers about their tracking not updated. And I will say it once again, Every Label was pre printed before packing since it would make it easier to organize and keep track of everything. Your tracking will update once your order is sent out, please be patient. Again, I am only one person. Who also works a 9-5 job that I cant take time off from, I have a queue to keep up with as well. This campaign blew up way beyond my expectations, but I have been packing daily in the evenings. I am only one person, so please be patient with the process. Everything will get sent out before the middle of April I promise!
That being said, if you have not yet received a tracking number, but did not have an apricot, your tracking and label will be part of the apricot order batch. Just to not add more to the overload of packages.
I do also want to thank everyone who has been patient with the process, and has been supportive. I want to be able to continue to create more pocket pals, including another dino campaign in the future with new species, and its thanks to you all I will be able to.
I also have been checking emails regarding any order issues. Please continue to email [email protected] with any questions or such. I will not be replying to comments, just because it will get very confusing and cluttered. Trying to keep email chains is easier. There dont seem to be any issues with any orders packed after the first week thankfully. Just mistakes made when there were several people in helping who may not have been to careful and mixed up dino names.
Okay great news! Apricots have finally arrived!! I will not be printing labels for them yet since I need to finish the other packages!
It was brought to my attention that several tracking numbers of orders not yet dropped off are stating tracking invalid, since it has been so long since they were printed. If your tracking says this don’t worry! Once they get dropped off they will update! I plan to have everything without apricots in the order packed by the end of next week! And dropped off by next weekend hopefully too!
