Project Update: Updated Timeline: Minor Delay + Wittles in Bags~!
With the sudden rush back to international trade to take advantage of the 90 day pause and all the uncertainty surrounding it, the current freight forwarding situation has minorly delayed the shipment of the Weighted Wonders and the Warmable Wonders.
That said, the Wittles are inbound, with an estimated arrival date of late May/early June and any orders containing JUST them + purchased USA-only add-ons, will go out in that early June period.
Wittles are already at the China-based fulfillment company. Weighted and Warmables will join them in early June. The moment they arrive, all 1,500+ international orders will begin fulfillment and shipping.
The bulk of the plush headed for the USA will not leave the factory until early June, with a scheduled arrival in the USA of the week after the 4th of July. Part of the reason for this is I will be absent from Washington state to receive the goods from June 16th until the 4th of July due to Anthrocon + visiting places to live in NJ in anticipation of our move in the fall. This only, realistically, delays the dragons arrival by about 2 weeks, which, all in all isn't a horrid delay given /gestures at the world.

TL;DR
USA Backers - Orders containing Wittles (+add-ons like pins, tapestries, etc) will go out in early June 2025
Orders containing Warmable/Weighted (+add-ons like ins, tapestries, etc, plus Wittles) will go out mid-July 2025
--------
International Backers - ALL ORDERS will ship out the first to second week of June 2025.
-------------------------------------
Because of the delay, I'm giving another week (until May 23rd 2025) for people to ascertain their addresses now that a timeline for arrival is more solid.
After that time, I will be locking them in preparation for us using the month of June to get our warehouse ready + the slog of the process that will be printing out labels for domestic orders since its a difficult thing to fully automate given the complexity of the project/the shipments.

Thank you for your understanding and patience. I promise I'm not like, artificially delaying shipments for the fun of it.
This is a large project with a lot of moving pieces and a lot that can go wrong if not done with some caution and care and time.
