Shipping Rate Estimate Changes - Please Read
Hey!
This is one update I really wish I didn't have to make, but Royal Mail has revealed their shipping price changes for the upcoming year and they have gone a lot more tha...
Brief update here to apologise for the small delay in getting the shipping set up - I had to wait for BackerKit to activate some things before I could get started (I hadn't anticipated and planned for that, sorry!) but as luck would have it, once that got finally done I got a dental emergency on my hands. I won't bore you with the details but the tl;dr is that one of my molars shattered on Saturday and I have been messed around by the dental services in the UK. I should finally have my first appointment tomorrow now but with the discomfort I'm in I can't exactly work. Hopefully I'll have this all sorted soon, but realistically this may mean I won't have the shipping set up for another 2 weeks.
I'm very sorry about this delay, I promise I'll try and get everything out ASAP the moment this tooth ache is no longer ruling my life.
In the meanwhile, here are some photos of the charms that arrived last week and hopefully I'll be back shortly!
Phew, been a hot minute since I had an update, but yesterday almost all of the items arrived.
So, with that said, let's have a look at everything - these are some quick snaps I've taken yesterday, apologies for some of the quality.
First up are the shirts, of course.
I'm personally *super* happy with the way that they've turned out and I hope you'll also get to enjoy them soon - the print is nice and soft, just as I'd intended, so it doesn't feel like you have this massive print on your chest (I'm positive many of you will know exactly what I mean, certainly any fellow boob-havers out there).
Next up are the patches. They're looking nice and crisp and have iron-on backs.
The transparent vinyl stickers are exactly as expected.
The glow in the dark stickers are insanely strong when it comes to the glow and need very little light to charge.
So the only thing I'm now waiting for are the acrylic charms but I expect them in the next 2 weeks to be here.
With that said, what does the timeline look like?
In the next 2 weeks I'm going to be checking the shirts over, tagging, labelling and packing them. After this I will be getting ready for shipping - I will be writing another update about that next week as I will give everyone to opportunity to buy additional items from the store before this starts plus I want everyone to be prepared for when the shipping and add-on charges go out.
In the meanwhile I hope this has been a fun update and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to drop a comment!
Just making a quick update to remind everyone that I will be locking in surveys in 4 days and to please fill it out if you haven't (most of you have <3 you're amazing, thanks again!). This will also be the last chance to add things like extra stickers, patches and key chains to your pledge via the add-ons.
If you haven't filled out your survey by the 1st of May I will be unable to guarantee that I have your shirt design and size of preference in stock!
This also means that next week I will be contacting the manufacturer to finally get everything in productions so hopefully I have more exciting updates soon!
Phew, sorry it took me a moment to get everything sorted but the surveys should be with everyone now :D
When you have a moment please make certain to fill out your survey. As I order the shirt stock in to order it's extremely important to do it before the end of the month.
IF YOU FAIL TO FILL OUT YOUR SURVEY BY 1 MAY 2025 I WILL BE UNABLE TO GUARANTEE YOUR SHIRT OF CHOICE IS AVAILABLE.
If anything doesn't look right, please send an email to me at [email protected] and I will get back to you ASAP.
Thanks again for supporting this project, I can't wait to put everything into production.
Sorry that it's been a hot minute since I checked in and I'm sorry it has to be on such a negative note. I don't need to explain the absolute chaos Trump has caused for us businesses across the globe with his tariff nonsense and of course my own business hasn't gone unaffected. Right now everything is still scheduled to go ahead as planned but I'll be frank, the chances of delays are extremely likely now because of how unpredictable this man is. Nobody is able to properly prepare as things change by the hour and this makes it all so very, very difficult.
I'm a UK based business but I do source some of my items from China. For this campaign that will be acrylic charms. The shirts are from a Belgian company (that manufactures them in Bangladesh) which are then printed on in the UK. The patches will also be made by this UK company. The stickers are manufactured in Sweden. How all these items will end up being tariffed by the US is a complete mystery right now - rules regarding B2C shipments are in the dark on top of that, we only have rumours - but I will try my damned hardest to do whatever I can for you US backers to make all of this as painless as possible.
On a more positive note that's the actual products; surveys should go out soon. As said before, I won't be charging shipping until a later date (certainly now we have this mess to deal with) but in order to do that I need to wait for BackerKit to activate some things for me (sorry, this is my first time using this platform, it's a learning experience). Once that is live I will be sending out the surveys so you can pick your shirt design plus size.
As for add-ons post campaign I'll be stating now that I'll be limiting these to patches and stickers only.
That's all for now. Should you have any questions please don't hesitate to leave a comment or contact me via [email protected]
