I got photos today from the manufacturer of what the final two designs look like in their final form. Excuse the spiderhead being upside down in the photo. 

I should be getting a tracking number later today. It may take up to a week to arrive as these are being shipped from China. The tracking numbers I have for the stickers I ordered say they will arrive today.

91% of the backers have responded to the survey. I'm going to wait another two days before I lock in the surveys. This should give a little more time for those who want to take advantage of the pre-order store to do so.

I've been questioned about the pre-order store. What incentive do backers have of getting in early if the store is there after the deadline? The incentives are in prices. Early birds get the best deals. Campaign supporters get a good deal. The pre-order store isn't quite as good as the campaign deal, but it's still better than what the pin will go for retail at conventions and my Etsy and Square store.

So, I'm including folks who didn't support the campaign in this email so that they might take advantage of the pre-order store (click here.)

To the 9% of supporters who have not finished your survey, please do so. If you see me regularly at conventions and want to pick up your tier award there, there is a physical pick-up button on the survey to save yourself a few bucks in shipping.

The issue we had with shipping outside the USA not appearing should be resolved for everyone. If your country is not showing up by chance, DM me, and I will ensure your country gets included.

Thank you all again for your support.

I made a boo boo when I was in my advance shipment settings. I had USA selected for what I thought was a shipping option. It turns out that it was locations I wanted "Hidden" from shipping. This is an option that would be selected in case I didn't want someone in a certain country to be able to purchase an add-on due to tarifs or what not. So, everyone should be able to see and select add-on now.

Oof! That mistake is going to cost me as I'm sure some of you have made piece with your selections and that moment of spontanius purchase has passed. But, has it? Check out the goodies.

Thanks for the assist in troubleshooting this with me.

I had an issue with backers in Australia and Malta not seeing shipping as an option. The issue for those countries should be fixed. If you are in a different country from the USA and do not see a shipping option, please email me at [email protected] with the subject line Shipping: (Your Country Name), and I will see if I can resolve the issue.

My thanks for your patience.

The staff at BackerKit reviewed my survey and had me make some tweaks. I had to make sure that returning supporters automatically got assigned their surprise stickers and that collaboration partners also got assigned their sticker packs. But because human error is always a constant, I'm conducting a smoke test. This is where the survey is sent out to ten percent of the backers. 

The survey has you selecting your pin designs. There are five designs available. So, if you choose a tier with three pins, you can select which designs from the collection you want. 

There is also an add-on section to the survey. With any luck, it should be operating normally, allowing you to add stuff like a pin from another collection. 

If you get the survey and weird stuff happens, let me know! That way, I can fix the error before the survey goes out to everyone. 

Many thanks,
Mark
