We're thrilled to let you know that our surveys are completed and have finally gotten the green light – we...
Happy New Year! We hope you’re all starting 2025 with joy and excitement. We're here for a quick update on the progress and share some thoughts.
Just want to know that we haven't given up on this project (or any other). Since we changed manu, things are moving along, albeit a bit slowly, but everything is on track! Our pins are currently in production, though we’ve hit a few bumps in communication with our new manufacturer. It seems they don’t always grasp our requests on the first go, which has led to some back and forth over artwork proofs and corrections—especially with our more intricate designs. We really miss the seamless communication we had with our previous manufacturer before they encountered their own challenges. 😩
>As we approach the Chinese New Year at the end of the month, we expect things to slow down even more, as all our manufacturers will be on holiday. We noticed, this time of year always tends to make them busier and less responsive starting from early January already, so we appreciate your patience as we go through these added waits.
On a brighter note, sticker production is also progressing, even if it’s at a slower pace. We can’t wait to share more juicy updates with you soon!
Of course, we owe you an apology for not updating in the past two months. We know we’ve been slow to communicate everywhere, and we truly appreciate your patience. As we've mentioned elsewhere, we're not the best at keeping everyone in the loop, especially when there aren’t significant developments to share.
You might recall the personal and health challenges we faced throughout 2024, which unfortunately left us unable to work for quite a while. This caused significant setbacks across the board. Additionally, our previous pins manufacturer, who we had relied on for years, was unable to assist us for months as well -despite having already in hand the production of lots of our collections and projects, forcing us to find a new trusted manufacturer. A process which isn't quick or easy at all, and it’s been a bit of a struggle to restart production out of our own pocket.
We realize not everyone can follow all the updates across our various campaigns and social channels, and we noticed that many miss updates even within the same campaign, so we just wanted to share again these challenges.
That said, we’re committed to catching up with everything and also improving our communication this year! Being both AuDHD with no help doesn't make it easy, so please be extra patient with us 🥺🙏
On a bittersweet note, with almost all our pets gone, we find ourselves with fewer tasks to juggle. While it’s certainly a tough emotional transition that we still have to overcome, it's surely a relief our workload. We miss them dearly, but we’re hopeful that this change will allow us to focus more on our work and bring you the Delidragons (and other) goodies you loved very soon~
Thank you for your continued support and understanding. We’re optimistic for what’s ahead and can’t wait to share more updates soon. Have a lovely day!
Hello, I pledged to your Delidragons & Eggstone Drakes and I honestly forgot about it since it had been so long and recently remembered when I saw an old email about it. I was wondering if you had any updates. Have you have started shipping out the pledges yet?
Thank you.
We wanted to take a moment to update you on the current production situation. As many of you may know from other projects of ours, we’ve been facing quite a a lot of delays and slowdowns with our trusted manufacturer since the start of the year for all our productions. In an effort to speed things up, we decided to explore new options and get in touch to other manufacturers to help us move forward with all our projects on hold.
Unfortunately, our experience with the new manufacturer for Delidragons didn’t go as planned -at all. We were really looking forward to finish the production with them as they seemed to have a good reputation and nice quality. But suddenly they rep ended up ghosting us for some reasons... 😩
And this has really sent us back into a tough place, filling us with a lot of worry and frustration. We’re actually in a worse situation than before, facing even more delays and another production we’ve paid for out of our own pocket that seems unlikely to ever see the light as well... without even knowing a reason why from our manu! It honestly feels like this year has been challenging in so many ways (for those of you who have been following us, you know already about the personal struggles we’re facing too). Right now, we’re not sure where to find the strength to keep pushing forward or even just to stay afloat. We're here again sincerely apologizing to all of you, wonderful supporters, who have been so patient with us through all these ups and downs, during this long wait, despite all the troubles. You're our one and only support ♡
In the meantime, we reached out for a full refund through the platform where we ordered the pins production, and after a very very long wait and tons of back-and-forth messages, we finally received it. So, here we are, ready to start over with a different manufacturer... While it’s frustrating to be back at square one, we’re hopeful about what lies ahead now!
Thank you again for understanding and for choosing to support us! We’ll keep you posted on our progress as soon as we have (hopefully good) news ૮₍ ˵◕´ ヮ `◕˵ ₎ა♡ Can’t wait to share more updates soon!
Hey Backers Frens! There's not much to say other than the production is ongoing, slowly but steady. We'll share more info and production-progress photos as soon as we get them — hopefully soon! We're personally so excited to see how everything is coming out ahhhh ✧˖°
As we wrote on another update: "we really wish we could keep you updated as often as we’d like, but it's hard - especially when there’s not much to share. Please know that even if we’re not communicating all the time, we’re working hard behind the scenes to keep all our projects moving forward, handle productions and fulfillments, and respond to your messages and comments.
It’s just two of us (who are also autistic and adhder) managing everything from our little room, along with our own life and work challenges. So we truly appreciate your kindness and patience, especially when our posts, updates and replies take a bit longer. We promise to always do our best.
Thank you so much for your support and for your ongoing patience! We’re grateful for each and every one of you who has supported us ♡"
Until the next update! Wish you a wonderful start to your week,
Poppin' in quickly just to let you know that —with a slight delay ( ˶ﾉω<˶ )- surveys have been succesfully locked and cards charged today! Thank you so much for your patience with us so far~
Please note: those with declined payments should adjust their payment info asap, otherwise they might not be able to receive their rewards in the end. Please check your survey/mailbox to find out about your status. Thank you!
The production can now officially start 🌟 We're so excited!
Addresses are of course still open and they can be changed anytime before we lock them, close to the moment of dispatching.
Until the next update, wishing you a lovely end of the week ahead~
