Project Update: Frog update #12 Pin order placed and survey update
Ribbits everyone!
In this update I'll tell you about what I've been doing, what to expect with the survey and other small bits good to know.
Pin order has been placed!
I've been busy vectorizing the frog designs. I love to do this but it takes a bit of time, it's all finished now so that's done!
While working on those files I've been going back and forth with my manu but the quote has been finalized and approved! Today I paid for the quote and sent all the files over. I now have to wait to check the artwork files and then wait on sample photo's. I requested samples of the pins first to check the colours. I want to be sure I picked the right ones before I approve for mass production. Making a sample takes just as much time as making a regular batch of pins so it'll be a while before I hear back after approval of the artwork.
What about the surveys and the combined shipping?
Almost ALL surveys have been filled in! There are about 17 not filled in but I'm leaving those be for now. Thank you all for filling in and leaving such fun suggestions and remarks.
There are a bunch of you who didn't pick Local Pickup but do want the combined shipping. For those I'll manually edit it so it's all correct before the surveys will be locked and charged.
I will also contact those who have the cross collab freebie pin but didn't mention the combine shipping nor did they pick Local Pickup. I can understand some just want two happy mail hop their way over, but to be sure I'll contact everyone about it when the time is due.
There are also still 14 failed charges on top of those 17 not filled in survey's.
I'm not sure I'll have to set terms and conditions about fulfillment after x amount of months, but know this: I won't know if I'll restock the pins when sold out so any late Backers will have less to choose from. Not something that'll happen soon, selling out and not restocking, but a heads up is always nice.
And what about charging the surveys?
I'm not sure yet when I'll lock and charge the surveys. I asked when Roundbirbart will and she won't do it until much later. I won't suddenly lock and charge them without letting you all know a few days before hand. First I need to check the combined shipping, but I don't expect to lock the surveys before end of April. I'll keep you updated about this, of course.
There are a few who had some hiccups with the surveys, I also still have one who's survey won't deem itself complete sadly, but I'm working on it. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me via Backerkit support (the 'Contact us for help' button on your pledge page). Or you can use the contact form on my website, that way you reach me immediately by email and I can help you out much easier.
For now this will be the last update for awhile, until I have something important to mention. But if you need me you can reach out anytime!
Have a frogtastic day everyone!
No backer but interesting in the frog pins?
For those who didn't join the campaign I have opened a pre-order shop!
Pre-orders made in this shop will be shipped out together with the Backer fulfillment.
