🎨 Art Print Update & New Voting Poll 🎨
Hello Adventurers,
We hope everyone had a great weekend so far! We just wanted to share some progress on the magic potions art print! After browsing a vintage botanical illu...
Our pins have arrived ahead of schedule!!! ✨ Hurray!!! 🥳 We are excited to see how all the pins have turned out. Our next step will be grading the quality of the pins and preparing them for fulfilment 🥰
Here are some photos of the pins from one of the boxes we have opened so far:
🇨🇦 Shipping Update for Canadian Backers 🇨🇦
To our dear Canadian backers, since Canada Post may go on strike as early as May 22, 2025, we will change our shipping service from Canada Post to Stallion Express or Chit Chats to avoid your shipments from being affected by the strike.
🇺🇸 Shipping Update for US Backers 🇺🇸
To our dear US backers, due to the current US tariff situation and the recent end of the $800 De Minimis Exemption on goods made in China and Hong Kong, we will hold off on shipping out US packages for now. We will prepare and package your Backerkit pledge rewards as scheduled, but we will wait for the tariff situation to improve before shipping them out.
If we were to ship out your packages right now, you may be required to pay up to 145% in tariff fees for your packages. These tariff fees are paid by the US customer to the US government administration.
In addition, the tariff situation may change on a day-to-day basis (similar to what happened previously in February/March). There is the risk that your packages may get stuck at the border or get rejected and returned to Canada. The tariffs may even increase during shipment.
It is not the ideal situation, but we believe it would be better to wait for the tariff situation to settle before we ship out packages to our US backers. We will keep a close eye on any updates. We apologize for the inconvenience and would appreciate your patience during this time. We are hoping for a more positive change to the tariff situation soon.
However, if any US backers would prefer to have their pledge rewards shipped regardless of the tariffs, please message us at [email protected]. We can send your package, but please be aware that you will be responsible for paying any customs or tariff fees. Mochiville will not be responsible for any customs/duty/tariff fees.
🌍 Shipping Update for International Backers 🌍
To our dear international backers who reside outside Canada/USA, we will try to ship out your packages as soon as possible! Please note that Mochiville will not be responsible for any customs/duty/tariff fees. If you have any concerns about your pledge, please contact us on Backerkit or email us at [email protected].
Thank you all again for supporting our Backerkit campaign! If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us on Backerkit or email us at [email protected]. Thank you!
We received some more sample photos from our manufacturer. So far, the pins are looking great, and we are very excited to see the final product! Please note that the screen print details and chain attachments have not yet been applied to the pins in these photos.
🍄 Reminder to Complete Surveys & Check Payment Methods 🍄
Thank you to everyone for completing your surveys. We currently have 93% of surveys completed. If you have not yet completed your survey, you can still submit your response. For backers who opted for the Pay-Over-Time option, your surveys will be sent to you once you have paid in full.
We also want to remind backers to double-check their payment methods to ensure that their payments were processed. We cannot ship out your pledge rewards without your survey response and pledge payment. If you need assistance with your survey, please message us on Backerkit or email us at [email protected].
We hope everyone has been having a great week! Our manufacturer has sent us some production photos. Here are photos of the samples made of the Luna Moth Sword Pin (Backerkit Exclusive Variant) and the Wizard's Grimoire Pin (Dark Red Variant). So far they look great and we're super excited to see the rest of the pin samples!
🐣 Update on Messenger Bird Pin 🐣
Our manufacturer has mentioned that the space for a cut-out between the bird's feet is rather small. They will try their best to create a cut-out between the bird's feet, but if they cannot create clean cut-outs, they will use recessed metal instead!
🍄 Last Day to Purchase from Pre-Order Store 🍄
Lastly, just a reminder that the pre-order store will close today (March 30th at 11:59 PM EST)!
This will be the last chance to get pins from our new pin collection at a discounted price! The Backerkit campaign incentives and freebies are excluded from pre-order purchases. Thank you to everyone who pre-ordered so far!
We hope everyone is having a fabulous week! We have been working with our manufacturer to ensure a smooth start to production. Here are a few updates:
🌸 Manufacturer Updates 🌸
After reviewing each pin design with our manufacturer, we wanted to share a few changes:
1. Changes to the Magic Dagger Pin:
Due to a spacing issue, the magic dagger pin will only have one backing post. We wanted to have two backing posts, but our manufacturer recommended using only one since it would be difficult to attach a second post with the limited space.
What is a backing post? A backing post is a pointed needle on the backside of pins that helps attach pins to clothing, bags, etc. Here is a photo provided by our manufacturer (the image on the far right shows the placement of the backing post):
2. Changes to the Bottle of Mermaid Tears Pin (Dark Red Variant):
For those who added the pre-order item, the Bottle of Mermaid Tears Pin (Dark Red Variant), to their pledge, we needed to change the design to create more space for cut-outs and clear enamel. Here is a comparison image of the previous design to the new design.
Key Changes:
The pin size has increased from 1.25 inches to 1.325 inches, screen printing has been added for shine and sparkle details (screenprinting will be applied on top of the clear enamel), and the glass bottle part of the design has been increased in size to create more space for cut-outs and clear enamel application. We tried our best to keep the overall look of the pin the same.
🌼 Survey Completion 🌼
All completed surveys are locked, and we have charged cards! Please double-check that your payment methods are up-to-date and correct. Your bank may also need to verify the purchases, so please check your emails for verification requests. Thank you!
If you are a Backer who opted for the Pay-Over-Time option, you will receive your survey once the balance is paid in full. Don't worry! We ordered extra pins for each design to fulfill everyone's orders during fulfillment.
If you have not completed your survey yet, you can still submit your survey. Only completed surveys are locked so far. We kindly ask that you submit your surveys at your earliest convenience. We cannot ship your rewards without your survey response.
If you need assistance with finding your survey, please message us on Backerkit or email us at [email protected].
