Project Update: Pins Are IN!
Hello all!
Two quick updates: pins are in, so we're about to start verifying, counting, and prepping to ship. We still have five people whose cards have failed for shipping charges. Please, please update your cards, because if we don't have your shipping/add-on costs by the time we finish shipping, your funds will be considered a donation and you will receive no rewards. We try to give everybody as much time as possible, but we need to be able to close out projects when they're done & in the past have had people contact us 2+ years later when all the pins are gone and expect us to be able to fulfill their backer rewards. We send a LOT of emails and write out our processes and expectations up front, so you can't say you weren't kept in the loop.
A second update: a package of the black FAFO stickers went missing, and we had to order stickers from a different company in order to have them arrive within a reasonable timeframe. This company apparently measures their stickers quite differently, because this pack of FAFO stickers is quite a bit bigger than the ones we got from our usual company. If you happen to be one of the people who gets a bigger black FAFO sticker, well, bank error in your favor. :P
We hope to start shipping out within the week, but it'll depend on how long it takes me to sort and verify the pins. I'll shoot out another email when we start.
As a reminder: you will get a notification that your package has been sent when we print out mailing labels. That is almost certainly not going to be the day that your package actually goes into the mail! We print out batches of labels, prepare and verify packages, and then the packages are dropped off; it can take another 2 days after dropoff before USPS will show movement on the tracker. The gap between when we print your mailing label (and thus you get that email) and when you see movement on the USPS tracker can be up to 5 business days!
Our goal is to have everything shipped by mid-July so that we can bring any leftover pins to Pride Northwest with us, so if you wanted to snag more, you should be able to come find our stall, right inside the Harvey Milk entrance, and pick up (among other things) pins or resin art, or get a t-shirt pressed with one of our new designs. :)

As always, thank you so much for all of your support for everything that we do. We couldn't do this without you!
