Project Update: Shipping Soon! 🌈 48 Hour Address Lock Notice 🚨
Hi friends,
All items have arrived and we are prepping them to start packing and shipping your orders to you! You should receive an email from BackerKit (if you haven't already) notifying you that you have 48 hours from now to make any final updates to your shipping address.
All items have arrived and we are prepping them to start packing and shipping your orders to you! You should receive an email from BackerKit (if you haven't already) notifying you that you have 48 hours from now to make any final updates to your shipping address.
Please make sure that all of your information is correct! If your package is returned to us, we will reach out for you to pay for a new shipping label to the correct address before resending it.
From our FAQs on Shipping:
- All orders will be shipped via USPS and will come with tracking. USPS Ground Advantage packages have an estimated shipping turnaround time of 3-7 business days within the United States and 7-21 business days for international packages. Please know that once we ship a package, it is out of our hands. We can only see the same tracking information you can and are not responsible for lost packages. We recommend contacting your local postal provider for more details or to file a claim.
Original Projected Timeline
June - August - Manufacturing
Late August - Mid September - Order packing & shipping begins
We are well ahead of our original projected timeline and – should everything go as planned during packing – expect all orders to be shipped before the end of the month!
We will be printing labels in large batches and you may receive a tracking number at that time. Please allow us time to process the orders and for the tracking to update before reaching out with questions. So that we can focus on getting your orders to you, we will not be answering emails asking about shipping status until September 1st. We will update when all orders have been shipped.
Thank you again so so much for all your support. Can't wait to get these in your hands!
Cheers,
Dylan & Rossin

Project Update: Pins & totes are here! 🌈 Packing updates & what's next.
Hi friends!
Look what's arrived...
Rainbow Bookshop Updates 📚
All campaign pins and totes are here! Everything looks so good and we're so excited to get these into your hands soon.
We're still in the manufacturing stage as we wait for the last few items to arrive before we begin packing, but everything is on track to meet the original benchmarks, if not, sooner. Stickers and bookmarks are in transit. We're waiting on a few add-on pins that are still in production.

Make the Yuletide Gay! ☃️
For those that missed out on pledging to our Make the Yuletide Gay campaign, the Pre-Order Store is now open! There’s all sorts of goodies listed in addition to all the unlocked campaign designs as well as some designs you can help us unlock. A reminder that we will be ordering very little extra stock just to cover any issues that might arise so if you have your eye on something, now is the time to snag it!
Here's a peek at what you'll find in the survey/pre-order store...
A post-campaign exclusive mini pin is already unlocked for you at a special price! (reg. $10)
SIX new pin designs to unlock! Backers voted overwhelmingly to add more cross-stitch pins to the post-campaign add-ons and these are some of our favorites.
Penny unlocks at 30 orders! There will be minimal (if any) extra plush in hand this holiday season so guarantee yours lock in the campaign exclusive price!
Pride Flag Nutcracker pins are unlocked and you can choose your variant in checkout. The stickers included in the sticker pack have also been revealed.
Get ready for Frog Friends! 🐸
Our fall Pin Kids Collective project, Frog Friends, launches on November 4th. It will be a collection of frog themed enamel pins, plush bag charms, and accessories. 🐸 Sign up for launch notifications HERE!
That's all for now! We'll be back with more once everything is here and we start packing.
Cheers,
Dylan & Rossin
