We've got exciting news to share: the pins are finally here!
There were some hiccups that made shipping take a little longer than usual, especially with the incredibly bad weather in Portugal where we got hit by multiple storms one after another.
There is one little issue we ran into and that is with Funfetti Sheep - something likely went wrong during mass production because the colors of the sprinkles aren't correct and the pink part of the ears appear screenprinted when it should've been hard enamel. It's not a huge disaster and can be seen as another color variant, but it's still not according to what we designed and agreed upon, so we're already busy with getting it fixed!
I pledged for Funfetti, what now?
If you're fine with Funfetti Sheep as it is now+ prefer/don't mind getting this over the original, please let us know! We'll proceed with shipping your pledge out ASAP and you won't have to wait for a remake. If we don't hear from you, we'll assume you want the original.
If you prefer the ORIGINALFunfetti Sheep, then please rest assured we're already talking with our manufacturer about this error and having them remade. We'll post additional updates exclusive to Funfetti Sheep in the future.
What's next for the rest of the designs?
Quality control is what we'll be focusing on right now to make sure all pins are up to standard. Fulfillment will follow soon afterwards and you can expect orders getting shipped out over the course of the month.
We expect to have to take a little longer with shipments because, as mentioned before, Portugal has been dealing with quite extreme weather this past month. It's caused incredible damages all over the country (villages being flooded, uprooted trees, damaged buildings, etc.) because of the strong winds and heavy rain, especially after Storm Kristin hit the country in late January and we're still facing two more storms in the upcoming week.
We've also been dealing with constant power outages due to this (some regions even getting communications shut down which means calling or texting someone became impossible) which is incredibly frustrating.
Please keep the above in mind if your pledge hasn't shipped out yet! We're going to try our best to get everything sent out ASAP. Thank you so much for your understanding and patience. 💚
That is all for now. If you have any questions, please email us at [email protected] since we usually get very late notifications for comments on Backerkit, so this is the fastest way to reach us!
