Updates

All open backers have been shipped!!!

Please note, if you have multiple bags and one of your options was the shy beetle please email us! Your beetle is with us and we just need to track down who got lost in the data mess. We have manually shipped a few out already so just let us know. 

we have a few backers who were short on shipping due to that same data mess and so if you see a $10-$20 charge thats it! Those need 24 hours to update in the system but all your packages are already wrapped up and ready for labels.

The finish line in near! The preorder shop is not closed, thank you for all the preorders after the project closed. You will be able to find them on our Etsy soon. Pinkus Crafty Cottage is the main shop name there.

As promised one of our next projects is.... ABOUT FISH! It will be called "We Love Fish" and feature a wide range of plush fish keychains. So keep a look out for that one in 2026.

Every backer who I am able to ship to has been now packed up and sent! Whoo hoo!

We have the beetles here and proofed! The backer data is missing for those who chose them so we are working on getting that data located within the site. Hang in there just a couple extra days for that.

Some international are having an error when trying to purchase postage so we have also reached out to backer kit to solve this and get those last few out. 

We have a few cards that were declined in the 3rd round of charges. If you have not gotten shipping updates be sure to check your email to see if a card error has occurred. Once you update it will automatically try to charge!

If you have not completed your survey within 2 weeks we will be attempting to force refunds.

Lastly a HUGE thank you! We couldn't have done this without you all. Due to tariffs the final price of the bags will be $60. We had a hard time deciding this but in the end it means more people will be able to have a cute friend! There were a lot of hurtles and unexpected delays due to the political climate so we are very grateful for your incredible patience.

Our next project will be FISH themed! So stay tuned for more to come in the next project, We Love Fish.

If you have any questions please reach out to us! The last round of shipping will take a few days to get moving in the postal system. 

Orders are going out in steady batches so keep your eyes peeled! And god news, the beetles are here early! They will be here Monday and be rush proofed to get packages out asap.

If you have any questions please reach out! we are so excited to get these guys out to you all!

We have many bags proofed and ready! The beetles are still incoming but we will begin shipping in 2 days time. There were a high percent of backers who needed more time to fill out the survey but these will officially be locked in so we can begin shipping ASAP.

If you need to update your shipping info please do not wait. If your shipping info is incorrect and your bag ships there there will be nothing we can do. Shipping info will lock in 48 hours.

HUGE thanks for everyone being so darn patient with our little friends. Some major unexpected delays due to current events put strain on the timeline but you all were amazing. We are extremely thankful.

All orders have now been locked as the last bags have officially been completed and shipped to us. These will be with us in apx 30 days.

If you did not select a beetle plush bag your new friends will be shipped in the next week. SO EXCITED!!!! 

The free keychains have been fixed, sticker sheets are here and look so cute. Pins have also made it. All smaller items have been proofed and are ready to go.

The delays due to tarrifs have been very frustrating for everyone, including us as we fight for good windows to ship. An extra thank you for sticking with us in thos unforseen layer of chaos.

Once we get some cappuccinos proofed nice photos will be taken and in a new update shown off. The quality of everything is amazing and we can not wait for everyone to get thie  bags!
