Right now, our manufacturer is in the process of sorting everything out — separating the pins that go on backing cards, and those that will be placed in mystery bags (like the Trash Box!)
Once everything is packed and labeled correctly, they’ll ship the entire batch to us. Yay!! 🥹

Here’s the good news:
By the time we'll receive these pins, we should be able to ship to everywhere again without issues! 🎉
By the time we'll receive these pins, we should be able to ship to everywhere again without issues! 🎉
🇺🇸 For the United States, we’ve already signed all the necessary documents with our courier to activate the DDP (Delivered Duties Paid) shipping method — which will let us send packages again, and without unexpected customs charges for you.
🟢 Now we’re just waiting for the final green light from the courier! 🤞 Everything should go smoothly — but we’ll keep you posted as soon as it’s officially activated.

🇪🇺🌎 For Europe and the Rest of the World, in theory, nothing has changed as of now.
So, once all the rewards are in our hands, they’ll be shipped out normally to Europe and the Rest of the World. ✌️

In any case: Bin Buddies rewards will ship globally as soon as we have the pins in our hands. We’re finally getting there. ✌️
🧠 About September – Why We’ve Been Quiet
Our last update on this campaign was in August, and we had every intention to follow up sooner… but the truth is: we needed a real break.
We took the whole month of September off from social media and public updates, because we were running on empty.
Not just creatively — but mentally, emotionally, and socially. 🥺
We were simply out of energy. And we know that if we don’t stop sometimes, we risk crashing completely.

We were simply out of energy. And we know that if we don’t stop sometimes, we risk crashing completely.
That said, we haven’t been inactive.
We’ve been working in the background on logistics, courier communications, and keeping productions moving as best we can.

And, if we haven’t responded to your email or message yet, please know: it’s not because we don’t care.
We’re slowly making our way through all the pending messages, and we will get back to everyone as best as we can.
(In the meantime, you might already find answers to your questions in the updates we’ve been posting — we’re doing our best to cover everything clearly here, too!) 💌
We were just trying to recharge while keeping things afloat.
This is something we’re always trying to improve — but it’s part of how we function right now.
>If we ever go quiet, it’s never because we’ve disappeared — it just means we’re working quietly, or we’re recovering. But we’re still here. Always.
And we hope you can continue to be patient with us, just as we deeply understand that not getting regular updates can be frustrating.

We appreciate you — more than you know. 🖤
📌 If you don’t see an update for your specific campaign yet, please know we’re still preparing and writing those as we speak. These things take time and energy — especially when everything is interconnected — so please be patient with us and avoid sending additional messages or comments asking about it. Every update is coming, and we’re doing our very best to share them all as soon as we can. Thank you for your understanding regarding this too! 💜
❤️ To those of you who’ve stayed patient, supportive, and kind throughout all this — even quietly — we see you, we feel your warmth.
Thank you again to everyone for sticking with us through all of this. We know the delays have been frustrating, we TRULY do. And you don't know how much we’re so grateful for your ongoing support, patience, and trust. 💌
If you decide to leave a comment, we kindly ask — as always — that you do so with kindness and sensitivity. 🌷
And even a small cheerful message or some encouragement goes such a long way for us. It’s what helps us stay grounded and keep going, even when things get overwhelming. Thank you for being that light!
We can’t wait to start packing these lil’ trashlings for you soon!! 🦝🗑️💕
With all our love,
