Hey hey everyone!!


I am very sorry for the delay in getting Surveys sent after the Boba Buddy Series 2 project ended!! My boyfriend moved the end of February, which is when the Surveys were initially supposed to be sent!! We were very busy with the last-minute packing and then the move itself + unpacking!! The first few things we unpacked was my computer!!


All Surveys are now SENT!! If you selected Pay Over Time for your pledge you will not receive a Survey until ALL payments have been sent!!


Please send in your Survey responses by April 1st!! With the Surveys I will be able to count the quantities of items I need for everyone, and I'll be able to order the merch!! 💖💖


I am waiting on receiving sample photos of the Wolf, Bat, and Calico Cat Boba Buddies! My manufacturer just came back from vacation and they've let me know I should be getting the photos very soon! I will post an Update when I receive those photos as well as the revisions I'm planning on getting!!


Thank you all SO so much for being so patient, I apologize that I was a lil MIA for a bit of time! We've settled in now so I will be able to be online more and answer any questions, etc.!!


Love,
Benji


P.S. Did you want to support the project but didn't manage to pledge while it was live? No worries! The Preorder Shop is still open!! Anyone who missed pledging to the campaign can still grab merch/bags via the Preorder Shop!!


The Rainbow Tiger Boba Buddy bag is also available on the Preorder Shop!! Similar to the campaign's Stretch Goals, we need to reach a certain number of Orders to unlock the bag!! Currently we have 7 Orders out of the 24 we need!! It is also possible to add on the Rainbow Tiger bag to your Surveys!! If we do not reach the 24 Orders I will be contacting Backerkit staff to remove the bags from Surveys/Preorders!


🧋 Check out the Preorder Shop HERE!!

It has nearly been 2 weeks since the campaign ended!! Tomorrow I will be sending my Surveys to Backerkit staff to review and then once that's done I will be sending Test Surveys to a select few Backers (randomly chosen)!! With these Test Surveys I will be able to double-check that everything's running smoothly and there isn't anything for me to fix for the Surveys.



Please be sure to check your emails to see if you receive the Test Survey! I would really appreciate ya'll responding to them ASAP! Once I receive these responses I'll be able to send Surveys to everyone else! 😊💖💖



👉 There are also a few failed payments for pledges!! Please double-check your pledges and make sure your payment went through!! You should've been emailed if your payment failed so you can fix it!! You will also get a chance to fix your card info on your Survey. If this is not fixed and I do not receive the payments for the items and shipping you will not receive your items!!



👉 In other news, the Preorder Shop is now OPEN!! Were you interested in the project but didn't manage to pledge in time before it ended? No worries! Those who missed supporting the project can still grab a Boba Buddy bag or any other item from the project on the Preorder Shop!!


There is also a special listing on the Preorder Shop as well! 👀💖🐯🌈

The Rainbow Tiger Boba Buddy bag is now available on the Preorder Shop!! The listing works similarly to the campaign Stretch Goals. We need 24 Orders for the Rainbow Tiger tail for it to unlock/be available! If you Preorder items from the shop you will NOT be required to pay upfront. The Shop will be open for 3 weeks so if the bag doesn't not get funded I will be contacting BackerKit Staff to delete the bag from your Orders! Backers will also be able to add this bag onto their pledge via the Surveys.



Of course the other Boba Buddy bags unlocked from the campaign are available on the Shop. I held off from offering the Kitsune and African Wild Dog bags but fear not! There will be a Series 3 campaign in the future! 😊



🧋 Feel free to check out the Preorder Shop here 👉 Preorder Boba Buddy Series 2 - cute plush animal bubble tea bags on BackerKit



Thank you so much for your support on the project! Be sure to keep an eye on your emails for the Surveys! With the Surveys I'll be able to count how much of each bag we need and I'll be able to order them from my manufacturer ASAP!



I am also waiting on the sample photos for the Wolf, Bat, and Calico bag but as soon as I receive those photos I will share them here! Thank you!



Love,
Benji

188 of ya'll came together and helped fund this project!! I am so so thankful for ALL of your support! Without you, we wouldn't have been able to unlock as many bags as we did!! 😁💖💖 It was such a successful campaign and I am so excited for these cute bags to be made and shipped to ya'll!!


👉 So...what's next?


Over the next 2 weeks you will be charged for your pledge amount!! This will come out of your accounts automatically but if your card fails you will be notified via email!! Do not fret, you CAN fix your payment and update it to a different card! You will still receive your goodies when you do this! 😊👌


In 2 weeks you all will receive your project Backerkit Surveys (they will be sent to you via email)! These Surveys will be where you can let me know which bag(s) you want, add on any items to your pledge (if you wanted an item but missed out on adding it before the project ended), let me know your shipping info, and pay for shipping (+ any additional items)!! 💖💖


The sooner you respond to these Surveys the sooner I will get the quantity numbers for bags and I will be able to order them with my manufacturer!!


Please NOTE: the Wolf, Bat, and Calico Cat samples are still being made as of right now!! I will update everyone with sample photos, edits, etc. when I receive them from my manu!! The Frog, Raccoon, and Fawn samples have already been made/finalized:

I will also be opening up a Preorder Shop on Backerkit! With this shop fans of the project, who didn't manage to pledge through the campaign, can still put in an order for a bag (or other smaller items)! 😊💖💖 This shop will be opened when the Surveys are sent out!!


Thank you all SO so much, I really appreciate all of your support!! I'm very very excited to get these bags in the mail hehe


Love,
Benji

A NEW Pledge Tier has been added to the campaign to help boost funding a bit!!


👉 The Small Item Pack will get you one of each small item (one car peeker sticker, one charm, and both enamel pins *Certified Boba Buddy and Rainbow Tiger*) at a discounted price!! Grab all of it for $40 instead of the regular $56!!

We are currently 92% funded for the Calico Cat Boba Buddy bag and we only need $901 more to unlock it!! 😊💖💖 We can do it! 💪


There are now only 2 Custom Bag slots left on the campaign so if those two slots get nabbed the Calico Cat will be unlocked, huzzah!! 😁


There are still plenty of smaller items available on the project if you don't want to commit to a bag and there is also a $1 Tip Jar tier as well!


I am so so thankful for all of your support with this campaign so far!! It was my first Pintopia and only my second project funded on Backerkit, so it's definitely been a huge learning experience!! Your pledges and support mean SO much to me and from the bottom of my heart, thank you!! I am definitely planning on making even more Boba Buddy bags in the future so keep your eyes peeled!! 👀💖💖 If we don't fund the Rainbow Tiger back never fret, it WILL be come to fruition in the future!


Love,
Benji

The Calico Cat has been successfully funded and now we are working towards funding the Kitsune Boba Buddy bag!!

Thank you all so so much for your support, it means a lot to me, and I'm excited to see how funding goes in the last few hours of the campaign!!


Love,
Benji
