As many of you may have heard from other creators, I wanted to address the elephant in the room - Tariffs. 

Due to the tariffs, I am producing the pins staggered by popularity, due to the fact that the campaign *just* made it's goal. I will be paying for the tariffs entirely out of pocket. I know that means those of you who will be getting the full-set will have to wait the longest but I am tossing in some freebies to apologize for the delay. 

I am very sorry about the delay but I couldn't afford an additional $750- $1200 tariff bill out of pocket at a single time - so I need to spread it out to lessen the financial blow. I was expecting more like $300-500 out of pocket in tariffs, but of course they ended up being much higher due to the now on-going trade war.

With the staggered production, my timeline is going to have to adjust slightly. In the campaign, I originally stated by end of June all packages will have been shipped. I still think 85% of the packages will ship by end of June as scheduled - but due to the staggered production, some packages may be shipping in early July. I just wanted to apologize now for the delay for those of you with full-set pledges.

Any pledge with less than a full set should ship sooner depending on the design you chose. All non-Cat with Hat add-on pins are already made so are ready to ship as soon as the Cats with Hats Pins arrive.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.
