Project Update: Payments, Tariffs, and Pre Order Store
Hello all!
As we move into next week I'd like to get through some house keeping items and share some reassurance about tariffs in relation to this project.
Failed Payments / How to Fix
As is normal and expected for these sort of large pin campaigns there have been some failed payments. In this case about $1,200; but I don't want anyone to miss out!
In order to receive your surveys and campaign rewards you'll want to go double-check that your payments have gone through, need authentication, or need updating. If you need to check or update your payment info on BackerKit, you can do so by following these steps.
If you're looking for your pledge in your bank statements, this campaign should appear as backerkit.com mytho-me.
Tariffs
Yikes! As you are all probably aware, there are substantial and unpredictable changes in the landscape of US imposed tariffs. I'd like to reassure everyone that I took a very conservative estimate for tariffs when starting this campaign... and while I'm anticipating a higher percentage now than I did a few months ago, I'm confident that I will be able to cover the looming nonsensical hikes in tariffs from my own profit margin without needing to pass that cost on to all of you.
Pre Order Store
In case you or a friend missed out on the campaign, I do have a pre-order store that is open through April 24th. I plan to add a few more sticker designs to the pre-order store shortly after the sticker poll closes- if you haven't weighed in on the sticker poll, be sure to vote today!
I plan to be back with another update later this week to let you know when to expect your surveys.
Again, thank you all for your support!
