We'll be live for a clearance show starting at 8pm eastern. New customers can use code ONTKIT for 10% off their entire order. If you miss the show, the code will work until 11:59pm eastern on Sunday 5/18 and you'll still be able to shop the Popshop Storefront even if we're not live.
Hope to hang with you tonight online! We'll check in next week.

Hi friends,
Surveys have been officially sent out to all backers! Please fill them out entirely and complete payment for shipping and any add-ons. Surveys are set to close on May 14. Youβll still be able to complete the surveys after that, but inventory will be based on surveys completed by the deadline, so lock in your orders now!
Payments have processed for your initial pledge amount. If your payment failed, don't worry. You'll have a chance to update everything in the survey. There are still some outstanding payments, so if that's you, check your card - we don't want you to miss out on the campaign rewards!

If you fail to pay for your final shipping costs before then, you will not receive your rewards.
For those that missed out on pledging to the campaign, the Pre-Order Store is now open! Thereβs all sorts of goodies listed in addition to all the unlocked campaign designs. Thereβs even some highly requested restocks you can help us unlock. Check it out here! (If you pledged to the campaign, you have access to all the items listed in the pre-order store in your survey as add-ons.)

PROJECT UPDATE
Project Update: π Readers, we did it! π
The Rainbow Bookshop and all its stretch goals have been fully funded! ππ
We are overwhelmed by the support for our first ever crowdfunding campaign. Thank you doesnβt seem like enough! We hope you know how much we appreciate you supporting a small queer-owned business like ours, especially when shops like ours need it most.
Whatβs next?
Over the next couple weeks, you can expect to receive a survey via email where you'll choose which designs you want, provide your shipping address, purchase any additional add-ons, and pay for your shipping fees. We will send out a campaign update when the surveys go out so that you don't miss it.
What will be available in the survey?
We will have all of the pins, stickers, and accessories offered in the campaign as well as some other queer/bookish goodies available for you to add-on to your pledge. The Pre-Order Store will also open when surveys go out for those who missed out on pledging to the campaign.
Payment Info
Payments have begun processing for your initial pledge amount. If your payment failed, don't worry! You'll have multiple chances to update your card information before surveys are sent out. You'll also have a chance to update everything in the survey. There will be plenty of opportunities to make sure you get your rewards before the whole project closes for good on December 31, 2025.
Reminder about all free items in any pledge from throughout this project: You must successfully fill out your survey and pay for the final shipping costs to receive your pledge and any free rewards! If you fail to pay for your final shipping costs, you will not receive your rewards.
Need to change your address?
You will be able to change your shipping address up until your survey is closed. After the lock down date, if you need to update your shipping address, please email [email protected], and we can manually update your shipping address. Please let us know as soon as possible that you need to update your address so we can change the address before your package is sent. If you fail to notify us of an address change and your package is returned to us, you will incur additional shipping charges before it can be resent. You will receive a last call email for address changes before we start shipping packages.
